Exodus 22:5
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
This law about a field or vineyard eaten by another's beast belongs to the instruction God gave to Moses on the mount in Exodus 19-24, among the judgments given to Israel, as one of the laws written in a book. It was given by Christ Jesus Himself as Teacher on Mount Sinai, who has spoken in human flesh. It guards against doing injustice and guards the interests of His people, guiding how they deal with one another and showing the exalted character of His requirements.
It was to be strictly obeyed, and is needed now just as verily as by the children of Israel in the days of Moses, to be studied and presented before the people in jots and tittles, in its smallest details. As such it requires contention to cease and calls for loving as brethren with softened and subdued hearts.
