God clearly defines the boundaries of the Peoples conduct, to walk after the statutes and judgments that He has taught them by His own hand. The chapter goes on to list examples of the statutes and judgments. It is important to know that this list is not the entire law that the People had been taught, but merely a highlight, or recap of those laws.

There shall be peace and safety as they rest from their journey. No adversity can cause them harm as long as God shields them with His ever-present protection. God's hand will stay for as long as the People will remain in His will, to do that which is pleasing to His name. God has given them an expanded border, even before they settled in their Land of Possession. He has given them authority to eat whatsoever their soul longs for. God will not permit them to eat the blood of the animal, because it is the life of the beast.

Wherever some of the People are too far from the appointed place of sacrifice, God has granted them an alternative. He has made their way much easier in some ways, and He has come to expect things of them that are not as easy as it was presumed to be. God has required of them a Holiness that will be a good report throughout the world.

The People were instructed and warned that they shall not seek after the customs of the heathen, to serve their gods, nor to practice the rites and rituals of them who God has utterly cast out because of their abominable lifestyle. Thou shall not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which He hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
