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.”
