Shoftim: It’s all about connecting.
What is it that bonds having a just court system to our meriting to inherit and possess the land?
And once we get to the land we are told to appoint a king. What of the kings role do we learn from here?
Then the kohanim are to be given from each animal: the cheeks, the shoulder and the maw. Why those specific parts? And why tell this to us now? Things set aside for the priest seems out of place here.
The portion continues with drafting soldiers for war and then gives a litany of excuses permitting the soldier to tear up his draft card. what makes the perfect soldier ?
