Deuteronomy 25:11
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
Deuteronomy 25:11 stands in the fifth and last book of the Pentateuch, in the second of three addresses given by Moses just before his death. That address occupies chapters 5 to 26, which review the law for the new generation. It is from that second section that the book takes its name Deuteronomy, meaning the second law, or a duplicate of the law.
The legal setting of the chapter establishes that the right to redeem an inheritance belonged to the nearest kinsman. That kinship principle foreshadows the work of Christ as Redeemer, who by becoming human became kin to those He redeems. He shared human nature, trials, and temptations in order to stand in that near-kinsman place.
