Husband and Wife cover Exodus chapter 21: The Treatment of Servants / Laws Concerning Acts of Violence / Laws Concerning Responsibility of Owners; and Exodus chapter 22: Laws Concerning Restitution / Laws of Human Relations. Not gonna lie, this section was particularly iresome. Seriously, these are rules supposedly dictated by God on how to treat slaves, virgins, thieves, widows, orphans, etc. The Bible is just gross. Final thoughts: Ex 22:31 "Throw it to the dogs."
