Laws, Laws, Laws

As of Chapter 20 in Exodus, all I am getting is an abundance of Laws. And they are all super confusing. I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but it seems like you are allowed to hit people as long as it is with a certain tool and its the right person. I am so lost. If I lived in this time period and had to abide by these laws I would need to keep a bulleted list with me at all times. There are so many different laws for the same topics, and they are all just slightly different... God is certainly asking a lot of his people.

This is my favorite so far...

You shall not permit a female sorcerer to live.

Female sorcerer? Ha ha ha
