The Law spelled out in minute detail how the Israelites were to conduct themselves not only in religious matters but also in business dealings, marital relations, dietary and sanitary practices and, of course, judicial decisions.
Seadus selgitas väga üksikasjalikult, kuidas pidid iisraellased toimima nii usuküsimustes kui ka äriasjus, abielusuhetes, toitumis - ja hügieenitavades ning muidugi ka õigusküsimustes.
