The Start of the Covenant Code
Commentators note that this verse begins a new section of laws called "the Book of the Covenant" (Exodus 20:22–23:19). These laws serve as a practical expansion of the Ten Commandments, starting with the most important topic: the proper worship of God. This immediate focus on worship underscores its primary importance in Israel's relationship with God.
