Various scholars have spent a great deal of effort investigating how Paul used this text. Did he cite Deut 25:4 in an allegorical, a typological, or an analogical way? 2 However, very little discussion has centered on establishing the meaning of the OT verse (Deut 25:4) in its literary context. In this article, we will first analyze the meaning of the verse in Deuteronomy. How does this verse fit into the broader context of Deuteronomy 24-25? Is Paul reading this verse in the same way as the author of Deuteronomy intended it? 1. THE INTERPRETATION OF DEUTERONOMY 25:4

Years ago, the passage piqued the interest of scholars and Bible interpreters because of the long talionic statement. In the second half of the 20th century, the passage became the battle ground in the debate over the biblical legitimacy of abortion. I will attempt to provide an overview of the treatment of this text through time and according to the internal structure of the passage.

Who is walking humbly before the Lord? It will be the Servant of the Lord who offers himself up as a sacrifice instead of trying to offer thousands of burnt offerings. How will the sinfulness of the nation be resolved? Only by the Lord himself, who is not asking the Israelites to sacrifice their firstborn, but who will offer his firstborn to redeem the remnant.
