Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Exd 22:6 — If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith]; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

If fire break out		Mr. Harmer observes, that it is a common custom in the East to set the dry herbage on fire; which fires, from want of care, often produce great damage. Hence a law to guard against such evils was highly expedient.
so that the stacks of corn		Jdg 15:4,5; 2Sa 14:30,31
he that kindled the fire		Exd 22:9,12; Exd 21:33,34
