From Deuteronomy 22-24:
1. Deuteronomy 22:5 states that men should not wear women's clothing.
2. I like the start of chapter 22 because it is very clear about needing to care for your neighbor's things if they should somehow end up on your property.
3. I did not realize that you should build a parapet around your roof according to the laws of God given to Israel.
4. I wonder how you would prove virginity nowadays. This could be problematic today, since women tend to be a whole lot more active and physical in their activities.
5. You're practically married - If a girl is pledged to be married and she cheats on her fiance, both she and the guy are to be stoned. I guess getting engaged in God's eyes is practically marriage. I know when I was dating, I always used to think that it was okay to try and date someone as long as they did not have a ring.
6. If you want to marry a foreigner, marry an Edomite or an Egyptian. Whatever you do, do not marry an Ammonite or Moabite. (Of course, this is if you were following the old testament law.)
7. If you offer to loan something to someone, do not follow them into their house when they go to get the pledge. Let them bring it out to you.
