Chris:

For me the puzzle is, what is the puzzle?

The context is a series of one to two verse commands, of which this is
one. As a single verse command, it is completely grammatical and
internally consistant. I have no problem with it.

I have no idea what is Ehud Ben Zvi's problem with the verse, I don't
have a copy of his writings. But this verse is simple and straight
forward.

Deut 24 in verse 16. Where is the catchword that relates an apparently

This is not my idea but Ehud Ben Zvi's. I presume it is the word: BeCHeTow
(his sin). What is even more baffling, (pull out hair moment) is that he
says that this incongruent statement has been inserted here probably as a
response to Exodus 22:20-23. What is he talking about for goodness
sake??????????????????????????????

The problem with this book is that he asks so many questions and asks you to
think about things but there are absolutely NO explanations or suggestions
on his part. You are left to fend for yourself! I'm doing my best,
discarding many things into the 'never-can-find-out-closet' -- but now
this comment annoys me sufficiently to get it off my chest!!

Thankyou
