Moses in his second farewell discourse repeats several laws already read and commented . The obligation to give a bill of divorce when no longer maintain a conjugal union , Jesus masterfully comments for this passage . Matthew 19 : 7-8 The pledge the loan may not be the resources that accrue to survive or even to repay the loan . If someone picked lent, has conditions to afford it , who lent can not enter the house of the debtor to receive it , wait out the payment , if he is poor and can not afford to pay it , who lent may not retain the pledge after the day is over , refund ASAP before nightfall , so that the poor will not need it or if clothes feel cold . The employee's salary is sacred must be paid at the right time , not holding to be no need or poverty. " The laborer is worthy of his hire ." Luke 10 : 7 Parents do not take the guilt of the children , nor the children of parents take the blame , everyone is responsible for his misdeed . Dt . 24 : 16 may not occur among the servants of God usury , if you will - always remember the poor , widows and foreigners. Dt . 24: 19-22

Justice should be fair , justify the innocent and condemn the guilty , the punishment can not be humiliating , not excessive, not have two different weights or measures , to be fair in their duties . The responsibility to his duties , shall not depart from them , with the removal of the obligation will be spotted and sentenced in his honor . Dt . 25 : 5-10 The man can not be injured in his power of procreation . The condemnation of cowardice refers to the Amalekites , when the Israelis struck in their rear , having been tired , weak and afadigados . Dt . 25: 17-18

Gratitude to God , that he had not forgotten his people , gave them the beginning of time this land to his parents , was small in number , growing up in a foreign land and be slaves gave them deliverance , cared for them in the pilgrimage in the desert . When entering the promised land , reaping its fruits for your work, you can not forget God , gratitude is holy , please separate the firstfruits of the fruits and bring them to the Lord in gratitude for everything you did to the people . Dt . 26

The quintessential book of readings , comments and quoted by Jesus was Deuteronomy. The divorce he answers the question of the Pharisees , tells them that because of the hardness of men's hearts , he was allowed to give them a bill of divorce . Matthew 19 : 3-8 The law allowed a man to lend on condition Pawn , Jesus recommends to lend without expecting reward because God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked . Luke 6 : 30-35 The justice must be just , be merciful , as God is merciful to all . "Be ye therefore merciful , as your Father also is merciful ." Lk . 6 : 36-38 The duty to love our enemies . " But to you who hear, I say : Love your enemies , do good to them that hate you ; Bless them that curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you . " Lk . 6 : 27-28

The tithes and offerings are a show of gratitude to God for his deliverance . Jesus in his pilgrimage , and some women have gotten rid of their sufferings was supplied by them in their needs . Lk . 8 : 1-3 The beginning of the gospel was carried out by the aid of which were converted, they brought their offerings and gave to the disciples , every day God added those who were converted . Acts 4 : 34-37 ; chapter 6 . The Apostle Paul in his ministry was supplied by various churches , mainly from Macedonia . "For the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied the measure of my need ." II Corinthians 11 : 8-9 The Apostle was businessman, made tents , this office relied on workers , he had as co Aquila and Priscilla , this project helped him in his ministry , but sometimes the Churches supplied their needs . He encourages churches to give to the Lord's workers double honor to those who live only in the ministry. " The elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor , especially they who labor in the word and doctrine ; For the Scripture says : Do not muzzle the ox that is threshing . E: The laborer is worthy of his wages " . . I Timothy 5 : 17-18

Abram , before having his name changed to Abraham, he delivered Lot his brother from the hands of the kings who fought against Sodom and Gomorrah and took him captive , returning with the spoils was met by Melchizedek , king of Salem , priest of God Most High , to whom Abram gave tithes . " And Abram gave him a tenth of everything." Gen 14 : 20 Jacob when sent by his father , Isaac , the search for a wife , had a dream on the way in which God promises him the land which was lying , tells you that your seed shall be as the sand of the beach and the stars of heaven , Jacob promises to God if it is beneficial to you at all, give him a tenth . Gen. 28 : 20-22 Being thus two situations before law. Jesus is like Melchizedek priest forever . The priesthood of the tribe of Levi was extinguished , so the sacrifices and tithes to the Levitical priests were also extinguished . But Jesus as the eternal priest , it is given prominence because it is alive . " And here certainly men who die receive tithes ; there, however, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth . " Heb . 7 : 8 Christ was not made a priest by the law , for he is flesh , but by God , it is incorruptible . " That was not done according to the law of a carnal commandment , but after the power of an endless life . For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. " Heb . 7 : 16-17 Tithes and offerings are a thanksgiving sacrifice and eternal Priest , Jesus Christ .
