I wrote for him the many things of my law; But they were regarded as a strange thing.
"Ten thousand things of my law ..." As Hailey said, "This indicates the complete fullness of God's law in the covenant he had made with the nation."[23]  It would have been impossible to choose an expression which any more eloquently teaches this.  The covenant was a specific and detailed thing, having been written in its entirety by God Himself; it concerned practically every aspect of the life of the people; and it is impossible to construe a passage like this as being some kind of an extravagant reference to merely a few maxims which had been handed down among the people.  NO! It is the Decalogue and the whole prior portion of the Old Testament that dramatically surfaces in such a word as this.  "This law was extensive enough to cover every behavior of life, every thought, deed, and motive."[24]  In the whole history of the world, there has never been anything else except the Law of Moses that undertook to do such a thing as this.
