Deuteronomy 28 Analysis

124 Words1 Page

Deuteronomy 28 is surrounded around blessings and curses. God’s promise in the blessings and curses is a conditional covenant. In verses 3-14 He establishes the idea that if you fully obey Him, they would be blessed, but if they don’t, then they would be cursed. “ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country, the fruit of you womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks” (NIV, 28:3-4). Curses are the premise of the second half Deuteronomy 28. “ You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed”(NIV, 28:16-17).

  • Analysis of Exodus 21-24

    Exodus 21-24 was definitely quite an instructive piece of literature. It was almost raw in its nature as a text or “book” but more of reading an excerpt from a piece of non-fiction most similar to an instruction manual of some sort that you get when you buy a dissembled bike or desk. Something like being enrolled in a police academy there was definite sense of a master-slave relationship in the air. It is like something never before seen in the Torah, these chapters showed a whole new YHWH. The YHWH who is feared like the school principal in an elementary school, not even mom and dad has come on so strong as to the dos and donts of living life. It seems as if YHWH was pushed to such a point where YHWH has no choice but intervene into the lives of his children, and set the rules for the pl...

  • Analysis of the Book of Deuteronomy

    1824 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many scriptures found in Deuteronomy along with several scriptures in the Old and New Testament point to Moses as being the author of Deuteronomy. One main verse that points to Moses as being the author of Deuteronomy is 31:9 which states, “9 Then Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. The book of Deuteronomy never clearly states who the author is, but by all viewing all other scripture and the scripture found in the book of Deuteronomy Moses seems to be the only person that could have possibly written the book of Deuteronomy. Moses audiences in this book are the tribes of Israel. Many Jewish scholars who interpret the book of Deuteronomy believe that Moses audience were the elders of each tribe who delivered what Moses had spoke. The starting date of Deuteronomy is 1451 BC. Moses gives three speeches throughout this book, but there are five parts that make up the covenant renewal. The five parts of the covenant renewal that take place in Deuteronomy are the Preamble, Historical Prologue, Terms, Sanctions, and Ratifications. The Ten Commandments are given to people of Israel in the book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is all about renewing the covenant between God and His people. God spoke to Moses and used Moses to speak to the people of Israel. The covenant renewal took place in the desert which was east of the Jordan River. Everything that took place in the book of Deuteronomy was in the Plains of Moab and in the crossing of the Jordan River to the Promise Land. The generation of Exodus was no more and Moses now led the new generation. In order for the people of Israel to enter into the Promis...

    While taking a look at Euthyphro by Plato and The Book of Deuteronomy we can notice a number of differences in the way society was constructed in Ancient Greek philosophy and Ancient Jewish monotheism. Socrates raises an important question for everyone in their society including those who made decisions on moral conduct bringing about the question of what is right? The Book of Deuteronomy gives the events of what happens to the Jews after their escape from slavery in Egypt with the help of their God, Yahweh and the only command is to obey him and worship him alone.

    ...ill leave them to be destroyed in the hands of the false prophets and corrupt leaders of the land. God tells them that he really does not want it to come to this, because the passage ends with a prophecy about what will become of the worthless shepherd. I think this is a message to false prophets that eventually no one will believe them, and also to the leaders or kings that they will lose all of their power and military strength. God reminds them that he really is helping protect them from the full effect of their sins even if they don’t realize it. In other words, things could be a lot worse, but God loves humans so much that he won’t let it get worse. The general message is for the people to clean up their act and repent so these bad things won’t happen.

    Around 1400 B.C. Exodus was written in Hebrew. The Exodus, which is one of the books in the Old Testament, are rules, similar to Hammurabi Code placed by God for the descendants of Abram. This literature gives insight into the structure of the Jewish community, which includes the hierarchy of their community as well as the roles important in this community. Scholars can further understand the Hebrew community by reading Genesis. Genesis consists of religious stories that talks about how farming, slavery, and the world came into being. But overall, scholars can see a society very much center on religion.

  • Holiness In The Bible: The Book Of Deuteronomy

    1909 Words  | 4 Pages

    The book of Deuteronomy is a reminder of what God did for the Israelites and instructions on how to live holy and have a covenant relationship with God. Moses gave sermons to the people of Israel just before they crossed the Jordan River into the Promise Land. He knew that he would not be allowed to cross the Jordan so he took the time to say some final words to the Israelites before his foreseen death. Moses retold God’s law where he reminded God’s people how to live holy in the Kingdom. It is believed that the book originates sometime in the seventh century BCE. Moses is the narrator of the book and is also thought by some to be the author. Others speculate that the author of Deuteronomy is Josiah because he had a set of laws called “Josiah’s Reforms” and they were

  • Analysis: The Song Of Hannah

    2112 Words  | 5 Pages

    The suzerain is the more powerful party, but is willing to grant the vassals certain blessings if they are able to uphold their half of the agreement. God’s covenant with the Israelites closely mirrors this relationship. In The Song of Hannah, as mentioned earlier, she exclaims various blessing that God will give to his people. However, God will not give the blessings to just anyone. The people have to act a certain way in order to receive them. These are the moral implications that I discussed in part one. In this particular passage of Samuel, God is willing to give his gifts to those who are faithful to him and those who are lowly. Hannah herself is an example of this. She upheld her end of the covenant with faith and loyalty, so she was blessed with a son even though she was physically barren. The song also applies to the Israelites more generally when it says, “Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.” Here she asserts the power of God and calls to attention that he is all knowing of what they do. God will know if the people are faithful to him or if they act in a way to promote their self-importance. Like any suzerain that has the ability to know what his people are doing, God will look at his

  • Hebrews Chapter 11 Analysis

    380 Words  | 1 Pages

    As one reaches chapter 11 in Hebrews, one will notice how the author is discussing the idea of faith, and how it impacts the way believers understand and view the world around them. “By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” (Hebrews 11:3). This statement changes my perspective on this passage, originally I read it as only a reminder to those who are struggling with their own faith, and this was to remind them God himself created the universe they dwell in. However, Thompson’s commentary pointed out the fact that this call for the people to remain faithful brings back the discussion of faith found in Hebrews 3:1-4:11. (Thompson, p. 228). In order

    The Good News of Deuteronomy 10:12-19 is that we should accept and love others even if they are foreign and alien. Everything in this universe belongs to God. He created everything we see or imagine. Moses tells the Israelites to “circumcise therefore the foreskins of your hearts, and be stiff-necked no longer’’ (USCCB). In saying this Moses is telling them to open up their hearts and stop being stubborn. He says they [the Israelites] should love those who may not be Israelites as well. They should love everyone else and care for them because God is the greatest of all and he has no favorites. He is fair to everyone. He loves those that others do not. He cares for the resident alien by giving them food and clothing. Moses then goes on to tell
