We will be reading over 600 various laws given by Moses over the next days. This can become tedious. However, look for the character of God in these laws.
Today, God wants ALL worship. People who worship other gods displease God greatly - then and today. It was a serious offense to worship another god in the covenant community of Israel. Anyone doing this could lead others astray - perhaps generations. Sin almost never remains a private affair. Others are almost always swept into sin's vortex.
Notice who were the 1st to be involved in the execution of others - the accuser(s). Think about those implications!
Notice also, that the tithe (tenth of everyone's increase) was an integral part of everyone's worship. This is still true, today.
