KI TEITZEI Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19

Seventy-four of the Torah’s 613 commandments (mitzvot) are in

the Parshah of Ki Teitzei. These include the laws of the beautiful

captive, the inheritance rights of the firstborn, the wayward and

rebellious son, burial and dignity of the dead, returning a lost

object, sending away the mother bird before taking her young, the

duty to erect a safety fence around the roof of one’s home, and the

various forms of kilayim (forbidden plant and animal hybrids).

Also recounted are the judicial procedures and penalties for adul-

tery, for the rape or seduction of an unmarried girl, and for a hus-

band who falsely accuses his wife of infidelity. The following cannot

marry a person of Jewish lineage: a mamzer (someone born from an

adulterous or incestuous relationship); a male of Moabite or

Ammonite descent; a first- or second-generation Edomite or

Egyptian.

Our Parshah also includes laws governing the purity of the military

camp; the prohibition against turning in an escaped slave; the duty

to pay a worker on time, and to allow anyone working for you—

man or animal—to “eat on the job”; the proper treatment of a

debtor, and the prohibition against charging interest on a loan; the

laws of divorce (from which are also derived many of the laws

of marriage); the penalty of thirty-nine lashes for transgression of

a Torah prohibition; and the procedures for yibbum (“levirate

marriage”) of the wife of a deceased childless brother,

or chalitzah (“removing of the shoe”) in the case that the brother-in-

law does not wish to marry her.

Ki Teitzei concludes with the obligation to remember “what Amalek

did to you on the road, on your way out of Egypt.”
