The Book of Deuteronomy contains mostly Biblical laws,


interspersed with bits of the Biblical storyline. Many of these laws are
also repeated in Leviticus. I have only decrypted a small part so far,
but it seems that under the hood, they’re all spook laws.

“Split” as abbreviation for “split personality” is a modernism, but
similar ones may have existed in ancient times.

contradictory on top of having no apparent motive. The only explanation
are the puns.
