Laws of The Deuteronomic Code
The Deuteronomic Code is composed of several mitzvot, or commandments (singular- mitzvah), approximately one third of the mitzvot in the Torah, and is therefore a major constituent of Jewish Law. While several of the laws are repetitions of those present elsewhere in the Torah, many have notable variations, and there are additionally many further laws which are unique to the code.
