Answer:

✔️Hedging The Law

Step-by-step explanation:

The practice of making law around laws so one doesn't get close to sin is known as "Hedging The Law".

A hedge in this sense is to be likened to building a wall around another wall. So, the purpose of hedging the law is to hinder people from getting close to breaking the law. This hedging of the law was seen among the Jews.
