This chapter centers on the Book of Asseverations (Sefer hafla'ah), which deals with the halakhic consequences of making various kinds of statements. It discusses the Laws of Oaths as the first section of the Book of Asseverations, which deals with oaths both as testimony to past events and as undertakings for the future. It also mentions the two types of vows in the Laws of Vows: vows of abstinence and vows of consecration. The chapter explores the Laws of Naziriteship, which considers the special case of a vow of abstinence in which a person undertakes to be a nazir for a period or even for life. It explains that the Laws of Valuation and Consecration covers a special case of vows of consecration in which a person vows to give their own value or that of someone else, or some possession, to the priests or for the upkeep of the Temple.

This chapter examines the thirteenth book of the Mishneh torah, the Book of Civil Laws (Sefer mishpatim), which is the third of the four-book division dealing explicitly with laws regulating social behaviour. It points out that the Book of Civil Laws opens with a quotation from Genesis 21:33 and a citation from Psalms to indicate that the book is about justice. It also mentions the wide variety of civil laws in the Book of Civil Laws, which is divided into five sections: Laws of Hiring, Laws of Borrowing and Depositing, Laws of Creditor and Debtor, Laws of Pleading, and Laws of Inheritance. The chapter analyzes the last chapter of the Book of Civil Laws that deals with the court-appointed guardian for individuals orphaned as minors. It attempts to detect a moral–ethical point in what otherwise might be taken as a series of technical laws about inheritance.

This chapter reviews the main points of the fourteen books of the Mishneh torah. It details why Maimonides ends the first book of the Mishneh torah, the Book of Knowledge, with Laws of Repentance, which emphasizes that the love of God depends upon the knowledge of God. It also looks at the two chapters that Maimonides used for metaphysical matters and another two chapters on physical matters, which made it possible for readers to approach the love of God. The chapter describes the Mishneh torah's messianic universalism is an outgrowth of Maimonides' understanding of the nature of humanity. It includes the knowledge/love of God, the tension between Abrahamic and Mosaic Torahs, and the connections to messianism as an emphasis on peace as an overarching goal for a universal utopia.

This chapter examines the Book of Offerings (Sefer korbanot), which is described in the Mishneh torah's introduction as being about individual offerings. It includes six sections of the Book of Offerings, such as the Laws of the Passover Offering, about the paschal lamb that is slaughtered in the Temple and the Laws of the Festal Offering, about the three kinds of offerings that each householder brings on the three pilgrim festivals. It also mentions Maimonides, who characteristically stresses the obligation to give portions to the poor and the Levites so that they too will rejoice on the festival. The chapter cites the commandment of hakhel, the ceremony held every seven years on the festival of Tabernacles following the sabbatical year. It covers the Laws of Substituted Offerings, which is about the prohibition against substituting an animal designated for sacrifice with another one.
