If a ox is tied to a donkey in a yoke the donkey no matter how hard he works is always under a great deal of pain. The yoke is designed to spread the weight equally. a donkey can not equal a ox work ability.
Yes, and it's obviously much more important to codify something that everybody knew or would find out the moment they tried it than to order them not to have slaves or that women should be treated equally. Why is it that the book records only things that people of that culture could be reasonably expected to understand and already believe? It hasn't been given the name "the goat herder's guide to the galaxy" for nothing.
