This story causes the civil war in the chapters following it. The violence and treachery described in this chapter ought to be put in a thriller novel by Stephen King and not a sacred religious text. The story starts by saying that there was no king in Israel at the time. This tells the reader that Israel is already in the part of the cycle with violence and a disregard of God.

(Exodus 3-4) Dealing with his pride, he went from privilege to poverty, to trailing about the dessert with grumbling people who took a long time to learn the lessons God was trying to teach them: humility, submission, and to be humble in the presence of the Lord. One of Moses’s major trials seems to have been the difference between what he thought his assets were, and what God thought his assets were. When he finally obeyed and fulfilled God’s will for him, Moses then had to bring law to the Israelites, and ultimately all Christians, while doing his best to keep them focused on the many blessings God had granted them. Moses brought the new covenant to the people.

Mosaic law was documented approximately 300 years after Hammurabi's code. The Hammurabi's Code is one of first written law record in earth history. With this in mind, in this essay, I will contrast the similar and the different cultures of the Babylonian and Hebrew civilizations through analyzing Hammurabi's Code and Mosaic law found in Leviticus 17-22 and Exodus 20-23.

Whereas, the Hebraic laws were base on the worship of one true God throughout their life.

STRUCTURE AND UNITY Leviticus is often considered a work of several authors over a long period of time, mostly during the exile of Israel in Babylonia. There are several proposal dates for these incest laws. On the one hand, according to John E. Hartley, the suggestion varies between scholars.

Isaiah 53 When studying the bible, you can find that there is not place in all the Old Testament is it so plainly and fully prophesied. That Christ would have to suffer, and then to enter into his glory, as in this chapter. But to this day few discern, or will acknowledge, that Divine power which goes with the word. The authentic and most important report of salvation for sinners, through the Son of God, is disregarded. The low condition he submitted to, and his appearance in the world, were not agreeable to the ideas the Jews had formed of the Messiah.

Both Old Testament writers and even Jesus in the New Testament refer to the Torah as the Law of Moses. However, Gary Schnittjer does an excellent job broadening the understanding and purpose of the Torah by going back to the original meaning of the word. He says, “Tôrâ is better understood as ‘instruction’ or ‘teaching’” (Schnittjer 526). This opens up the purpose of the Pentateuch to be more than a list of rules and regulations, as I once believed it to be, and to become God’s instructions to teach humanity (and me) how to have relationship with God.

The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.

This covenant is found in Exodus 19-24 and Deuteronomy. These books are the structure for the Judicial law which the Israelites follow even to this day. In Exodus 20 is where we find the Ten Commandment. These are the basic few out of the 613 laws that God requires the Israelites to follow. I have a hard enough time remembering the Ten Commandments yet alone the 613 laws required to be holy before God.
