These are the statutes
The term "statutes" refers to decrees or laws that are established by divine authority. In Hebrew, the word is "חֻקִּים" (chukim), which implies a commandment that may not be fully understood by human reasoning but is to be followed out of obedience to God. This highlights the importance of divine law in guiding the moral and social conduct of the Israelites, emphasizing that God's wisdom surpasses human understanding.

that the LORD commanded
The phrase underscores the divine origin of these laws. "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "יהוה" (YHWH), the sacred name of God, indicating His eternal and unchanging nature. The use of "commanded" (צִוָּה, tzivah) signifies an authoritative directive, not a suggestion, reinforcing the idea that these laws are not optional but are to be adhered to as part of the covenant relationship between God and His people.

Moses
Moses is the central human figure through whom God communicates His laws to the Israelites. As a prophet and leader, Moses serves as a mediator between God and the people. His role is crucial in the transmission of divine law, and his faithfulness in delivering God's commands is a model of obedience and leadership.

concerning a man and his wife
This phrase addresses the marital relationship, which is foundational to the social structure of Israelite society. The Hebrew context emphasizes the covenantal nature of marriage, reflecting God's design for a harmonious and committed partnership. The laws concerning a man and his wife are intended to protect the sanctity and integrity of the marital bond.

and a father and his young daughter
The mention of a father and his young daughter highlights the protective and authoritative role of the father within the family unit. In ancient Israelite culture, the father was responsible for the well-being and spiritual guidance of his household. The laws concerning a father and his daughter underscore the importance of family structure and the father's duty to safeguard his daughter's future, particularly in matters of vows and commitments.

still living in his house
This phrase indicates the daughter's dependency and the father's responsibility while she remains under his roof. It reflects the cultural and legal context of the time, where a daughter's transition from her father's house to her husband's was a significant event. The laws provided here ensure that the father's authority is respected and that the daughter's interests are protected until she enters into her own household.
