Don't make the newly married, the new homeowner, or the fearful, fight in war.
Offer peace before fighting, but they must serve you.
Don't cut down the trees when you besiege a city.
21
Have the nearest city make atonement for unsolved murders.
Wait a month to take women captured in war as wives, removing all adornment and letting her grieve. Let her go free, not as a slave, if you don't want to marry her after a month.
Give the oldest son the inheritance, even if the parents favor a younger son.
Stone older children who refuse to obey their parents and stubbornly do egregious things.
When you want to show God's special curse in capital punishment, hang the criminal on a tree, but don't leave him overnight. Don't overdo it.
22 - Various rules nurturing life, maintaining boundaries of creational design, and sexual purity.
