Throughout history there have been many laws put in place to ensure order and safety within different societies. The first set of written laws originated in Mesopotamia in approximately 1754 BC, called the Code of Hammurabi. “Code of Hammurabi” is considered to be one of the most valuable finds in human history. The code is actually used for the basis of our country's modern-day justice system. It is perceived to be the first advanced set of recorded laws put into a single, logical text. The “Code of Hammurabi” was years ahead of its time; written by King Hammurabi in 1754 B.C. Dating from the 10th century B.C. there were another set of laws created in the old Testament called the Hebrew code of laws, making up of Moses’s 611 commandments. Hammurabi’s Code and the Hebrews (in Mosaic Code) became supreme over all sources of authority; playing an important role in the legal process among society. There have been striking amount of similarities between the Hammurabi laws and the Mosaic code of the Hebrew Old Testament.

Jesus raised the standard of the Mosaic Laws in the Sermon of the Mount by supporting it with further guidelines to help guide the community. While Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 28 warned the followers of God to not do certain things or else you get certain punishments, Matthew 5-7 gives out a more peaceful set of codes to follow. Codes such as to from Matthew 5. spread your teachings to others, to not commit murder, an d to reconcile with your brothers and sisters quickly. Love your enemies and to not seek revenge or commit adultery. Matthew 6 tells Gods follows to not do big actions and to be praise. Lastly, Matthew 7 explains that one should respect others and to not be judgmental. To give good gifts and follow Gods teachings. To treat others the way you want to be treated.

Leviticus was originally considered to be written anonymously. Over the years, there has been evidence that Moses was the author of Leviticus based on how much of the content relates to Exodus. Leviticus revolves around laws or regulations and discusses the guidance that God has offered for us. God spoke to the law to Moses around Mount Sinai. This occurred after the ten commandments and is likely around 1446 BC. It is impossible to determine the exact date that each law was written and may have occurred during the forty-year wandering that endured. This book discusses God’s covenant and centers around sanctification. God is forgiving and accepting, but we must follow and be spiritual. In Leviticus 19:2 (English Standard Version), it

He gave other laws in regards to cleanliness, staying clean, and what to keep away from. Laws on how to stay moral and have good ethics were also given. Instead of the practices they had used in the past, God gave them laws to show how they should be living. The Lord gave guidance on feasts and celebrations to show their thankfulness to him. Finally, God told the people that they would experience curses or blessings all based on if they follow the covenant with God. The dominant theme of Leviticus is the holiness of God. It also shows that God’s law is what we should follow and there are many instances in Leviticus where the Lord followed through with his promises, all based on his covenant. The whole purpose was for you to obey and to avoid being punished. If you did obey you would receive a blessing.
