The Book Of Leviticus Singles Out What God Has Done For...

The book of Deuteronomy singles out what God has done for the Israelites. It also teaches them what they need to do. Obedience and loving the Lord is a major theme. It was written by Moses as a summary of the last 40 years that the Israelites wandered the desert before he died. Deuteronomy stresses the theme of obedience. After 38 years of wandering the desert, the people who disobeyed God by not going over to the promised land died. This was the time that God let the new generation cross over in the Promised Land to Canaan. This was the covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob many years before. Deuteronomy 27-30 states, that there are blessing for obedience and curses for disobedience. God will also bless the land for crops, the livestock with great herds and flocks, and wherever they may go, they will be blessed. There will be no worry about rain or how the harvest will grow. Enemies will always fear them and will know that they are covered under the Lord their God. They will be free from any diseases and painful boils. Just as God will bless everything of the Israelites for obedience, he will also take away all of the blessing He has given. The crops will dry up from no rain, the herds will not produce and they will get many diseases and boils that they were protected against when they were obedient. It is repeated many times that God is a jealous God. We are to fear the Lord our God.

However, there is strong evidence that Jews in ancient Pre-Rabbinic Judaism interpreted significant amounts of historical portions of the Tanakh to be subtle prophecies (Edersheim, 163). The Christians claim that God left subtle footprints of the Messiah in many non-explicitly Messianic portions of the Tanakh and even in ancient Jewish tradition and society. The more convincing of these claimed prophetic footprints will be presented and evaluated.

The Rabbis have never made an attempt to diminish the apparent discrimination in the above. In fact, at least some voices in rabbinical literature interpret verse 46 not to be granting permission to keep non-Jewish slaves forever, but as obligating one to do so. (B. Brachot 47b.) Nevertheless, the Rabbis did take some small steps by codifying the prohibition to humiliate non-Israelite slaves.† †¦I gave them to you as slaves, but notRead More History of the Old Testament of the Bible Essay3002 Words   |  13 PagesBible gives you a greater appreciation for the works in the Bible.
