There are a lot of laws in this chapter. Many of the laws here are repeats of what God has said before but I see many laws could be done and the person doing them could seem to get away with it, like swearing at a deaf person. They can't hear so it does not harm correct? Not according to God. God here as in the New Testament is concerned not just what we do but the motive of our heart. Let me explain part of it this way: yes, no one will know we did wrong, but when we do wrong, our hearts are damaged, leading to more problems if not dealt with. God has always been concerned not just with what we do but also our attitude of our heart. Thankfully, God gives us a way to have our attitudes, our heart, changed in Jesus.
