Verses related to Deuteronomy, 16:

Deuteronomy 16 is a chapter that establishes the instructions for the annual religious festivals of Israel, including Easter, the Feast of Bread Asmos and the Feast of the Week. Moreover, the principle of justice is emphasized through the indication of impartial judges and officers, as well as the prohibition of idolatry. Below are five verses related to these themes, excluding verses of Deuteronomy 16:

Proverbs 21:3: "Doing what is just and right is more acceptable to the Lord than offering sacrifices." This verse highlights the importance of justice and righteousness, values ​​that are reinforced in Deuteronomy 16.

Psalm 82:2-4: "Until when you dismiss it, and do you respect the people of the wicked? Defend the poor and the orphan; do justice to the distress and the needy. Deliver the poor and needy; take them out of the hands of the wicked. . " This Psalm calls for justice and compassion for the underprivileged, a theme present in Deuteronomy 16.

Deuteronomy 17:8-10: "If there is a difficult question between homicide and murder, between cause and cause, between wound and wounded, in matters of dispute within your doors, then thou shalt rise and rise to the place that choosing the Lord thy God; And thou shalt come to the Levite priests, and to the judge in those days, and shall inquire; and shall announce the judgment of that judgment. And shall make the sentence that announce to you in the place that chooses the Lord; and shall take care to do according to all that you teach. " This verse complements the instruction on impartial judges in Deuteronomy 16, reinforcing the importance of justice in legal disputes.

2 Kings 23:5: "And he took the idolatrous priests that the kings of Judah had established to burn incense in the ups in the cities of Judah, and around Jerusalem; as well as those who burned incense to Baal, in the sun, and the moon , and to the planets, and to the whole army of heaven. " The prohibition of idolatry in Deuteronomy 16 is a theme that extends throughout the Bible, as in this example in 2 kings.

Leviticus 23:4-5: "These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the sacred calls you will proclaim in the right time. In the first month of the year you will celebrate the Easter Feast." This verse mentions the feast of Easter, which is one of the religious festivals established in Deuteronomy 16.





“Pobres e desafortunadas as almas que se envolvem no turbilhão de preocupações deste mundo. Quanto mais amam o mundo, mais suas paixões crescem, mais queimam de desejos, mais se tornam incapazes de atingir seus objetivos. E vêm, então, as inquietações, as impaciências e terríveis sofrimentos profundos, pois seus corações não palpitam com a caridade e o amor. Rezemos por essas almas desafortunadas e miseráveis, para que Jesus, em Sua infinita misericórdia, possa perdoá-las e conduzi-las a Ele.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
