  1. Explanation of Order of Laws in Hukim Section • Why is eating meat explained before elaborating on bad influences in the beginning of chapter 12? • Eating Meat Outside the temple is a great innovation here which requires immediate attention. It is so important that it is already mostly explained within the first paragraph.

  2. Explanation of Order of Laws in Hukim Section • Why is Ma’aser and Firstborn laws from chapter 12 expanded after the commandment 5 elaboration and not within the commandment 3 section? • Ma’aser is after commandment 5 laws for several reasons: • 1) it connects with the end of kashrut laws. • 2) the seventh year of Shemitah and slaves connect with the upcoming expansion on Shabbat laws, • 3) to keep a general progression from ben adam lamakom to ben adam lehaveiro in keeping with the order of the ten commandments.

  3. Explanation of Order of Laws in Hukim Section • Why is Commandment 5 expanded before commandment 4? • This reasoning also explains why commandment 5, whose elaboration is no longer honoring human parents but God, is moved before the Sabbath which has a strong humanitarian element.
