Law is a ledger, and ledgers are brutal by construction, not by temperament.
Geometry, The ledger: A reading: value grows only by a gain that comes from outside and is kept by someone facing the light. Law can count what leaks; it cannot supply the gain.
In plain words
The flood and the conquest are a debt called in: law is a ledger, and a ledger is harsh by its nature. What looks like two Gods, one angry and one merciful, is one God on either side of a single payment, and grace is the debt paid, so the collecting stops.
The mechanism
THE LEDGER EXACTED — the flood and the conquest are what an unpaid ledger looks like when it is called in. What reads as two Gods, a wrathful one and a merciful one, is one God on either side of a single transaction. Grace is not a change of character; grace is the debt getting paid so the exacting stops, because there is nothing left to collect
