I thought these two were a reasonable representation of the subjects and tone of the chapter, but it took so many words to get even the basic gist of the law about the man who rejects his new wife that we missed out on mixed fabrics and various other laws about sex.
Interesting to note V 21 & V 24 says: You must purge the evil from among you.
V 22 says: You must purge the evil from Israel.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Deuteronomy.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
