Today's reading again comes from bits and pieces of Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy.  The text covers restitution for various losses.  It is interesting to me that the laws given are very specific and at first glance might seem out dated -- unless you have an ox that falls in a hole -- or something similar.  But, it is the principle behind each of the stated laws that is actually useful for us still.  The strong, over-arching principle of honesty in all things is paramount.
