Concatenation in Laws of Deuteronomy

concatenation in this group!'

I looked up the word CONCATENATION:

It is a really good word!
dictionary definition
To connect or link in a series or chain.

wikipedia
In computer programming: "It is the operation of joining two character strings end to end."

It was interesting to look at the laws in Deuteronomy from this perspective.

As the scholars analyze - "nothing is random in Torah" it is good to look at the connections between the laws and study the patterns.

D. 24:6 & 24:5 - dont take the handmill in pawn link to keeping a new wife happy for a year and not joining the army.

Does this relate the ability to make your own food with making a family? Or maybe it really is the word "grinding" that connects them and the implications of food and sex.

D.24:7 about kidnapping a fellow Israelite. How does this relate back to the other laws?
Jess points out the connection in the word 'nefesh' in both verses.

This is the type analysis that can become a game or a puzzle and, according to our scholars, makes all of the law more meaningful and clearer. However, there can be a lot of confusion and lack of clarity in the analysis this way - kind of like cleaning out a closet, you make a bigger mess before it becomes neat and orderly again..

Google Concatenation and Deuteronomy and you get a long list of interesting links!
