provinces of your realm their laws are different from every other people's they do not observe ve the king's laws therefore probably is okay it is not befitting that the king should tolerate them if it pleases the king let it be recorded that they be destroyed etc now look at the order of the considerations that H offers there's a people that is scattered abroad now the translation here is a little they're working hard there are two words muar muar means scattered and muur means really isolated disconnected among the peoples the commentators say one is physical scatter and the other is they have no allies they're not connected to anybody they stand alone their laws are different from every other people's and third they don't obey the king's laws isn't it funny that not obeying the king's laws is third if you want to bring a complaint against a group of people you want to say it's not worthwhile for the king to allow them to continue to exist wouldn't the first thing be said they violate your laws they're breaking your laws no but you see can't hear that okay maybe they're breaking the laws but maybe there justification maybe like yesterday there's a religious exclusion if I attack them what's going to happen do they have allies you know will people tolerate it so hman starts by saying
