Deut. 22:6–7 Like the treatment of trees in 20:19–20, this law preserves life. It requires wise, respectful use of the creation.
Deut. 22:8 Builders and homeowners must take adequate safety measures. Flat roofs were used for various household activities, including sleeping in hot weather.
Deut. 22:9–11 These laws prohibit mixing various items, reflecting God’s ordering of creation “according to its kind” (e.g., Gen. 1:25).
Deut. 22:12 tassels. See Num. 15:38–41.
Deut. 22:14–15 evidence of virginity. This may be a garment stained with menstrual blood (v. 17), which demonstrates that she is not pregnant, or a stain of hymenal blood, showing that the girl’s first intercourse took place on her wedding night. The gate was where legal matters were heard and resolved.
Deut. 22:19 A hundred shekels is a very large fine. Workers in OT times earned half a shekel per month. This law discouraged men from making false accusations and seeking an easy divorce.
Deut. 22:21 purge the evil. See 13:5.
Deut. 22:22 Adultery was a capital offense throughout the ancient world. To be convicted, the couple must be caught in the act (found lying). They were both punished equally.
Deut. 22:23–24 betrothed . . . wife. Betrothal was much more binding than modern engagement. The woman is called “wife” in v. 24.
Deut. 22:29 Fifty shekels appears to be the bride-price (see Ex. 22:16). The law protects the woman, who is less likely to be married because she has been raped.
Deut. 22:30 uncover his father’s nakedness. See esv footnote; also 27:20. It probably means to bring dishonor to the father. The father’s wife would presumably be a woman other than the man’s mother.
