For instance, the knock off of the Spurs' Tim Duncan jersey pictured here points people to Deuteronomy 21. So I looked it up and was baffled that this chapter would be highlighted. The chapter outlines five Mosaic laws:
- The procedure a village should take to atone for an unsolved murder;
- The procedure to be followed when marrying a woman captured as a prisoner of war;
- The proper way to split an inheritance where there are first-born sons of multiple wives;
- The requirement that a rebellious son be executed by stoning; and
- The requirement that criminals executed by hanging be buried before nightfall.
For locals, there is a Celtics version as well, a mock-up of a Paul Pierce jersey that reads "Psalm 34." This one is actually kind of clever for a guy whose nickname is "The Truth," since verse 13 reads: "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."
