Special concepts in this chapter

Justice

An unjust society was considered sinful. It was considered to be against the law of Moses. If these kingdoms did not have justice, they were not obedient to Yahweh. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/unjust, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice)
