“It is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.” God protects the most vulnerable through His good laws in Exodus 22. There is no oppression of the patriarchy here; God is foremost concerned about taking care of women and the poor—even animals. These clarifications of “You shall not steal” show God’s rejection of our sinful tendency to objectify: How can we objectify that which Christ has purchased with His own blood?
