enthrone your brother if he be not an Israelite (e.g., an Edomite, even though he is called “your brother” [23: 8]). The reason for the law about the horses is that in those times horses were imported from Egypt. The evidence is the passage “a chariot going out of Egypt…” [I Kings 10: 29], which occurred during Solomonic times. Because of Solomon’s need for their horses, he caused the people to sin and to return to Egypt. Obviously, it is a disgrace to return to Egypt after God has redeemed us from there (Uriah the prophet fled there only because his life was in danger [Jeremiah 26: 21]; and Jeremiah went there against his will [Jeremiah 43: 5-7]).
