All 613 Laws

though I'm not interested in observing it, there is great wisdom to be found in the law. I'll start from the end of the pentateuch and work backwards, maybe we'll meet somewhere in the middle.

Deut 34:4b "Thou hast seen it with thy eyes, and shalt not pass over to it."

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.


69 Leviticus 21:23 - Cohen (priest) with blemish come near to Altar.

For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

If you are Israel, you shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob.

Deut 33:28 "And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob"



If you are Aser, your sandal shall be iron and brass.

Deut 33:25 "His sandal shall be iron and brass"

 

[Dan_473]

but I don't know... am I interpreting too much? wasn't all the law given to Israel?

maybe it should just be

you shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob.
and
your sandal shall be iron and brass.

 

[KohenMatt]

but I don't know... am I interpreting too much? wasn't all the law given to Israel?

maybe it should just be

you shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob.
and
your sandal shall be iron and brass.

I think you're interpreting too much on the 2nd one. One the 1st part, Israel was told to destroy every nation in the promised land. If they did, they would live securely. If not, they wouldn't be safe.

And on the 2nd one, no, I don't think God is telling them what their shoes were to be made of. It's a picture of security. And this isn't one of God's commands either. It's one of the blessings to Israel.

 

[KohenMatt]

I was following the guide of not using man-made rules, just going by what the bible said...

in your view, how does one decide if a Thou Shall or Shalt Not is a command or a blessing?

isn't all of Torah a blessing?

 

[KohenMatt]

Deuteronomy 33 is Moses' blessing over the individual tribes, so it's not considered one of the "laws," even though it's part of the Torah. This kind of blessing is different than the blessings/rewards that come from obedience to the laws themselves.

 

[Dan_473]

Deuteronomy 33 is Moses' blessing over the individual tribes, so it's not considered one of the "laws," even though it's part of the Torah. This kind of blessing is different than the blessings/rewards that come from obedience to the laws themselves.

not considered one of the "laws," by who?

does each Torah-reader get to decide for themselves which Thou Shalts are laws?

 

[Dan_473]

you shall destroy the nations of Canaan

Deut 31:5 ye shall do to them, as I charged you"

 

[Dan_473]

Deut 29:24 and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land?

 

[Dan_473]

Deut 27:2thou shalt set up for thyself great stones, and shalt plaster them with plaster.

 

[Dan_473]

26:1 And it shall be when thou shalt have entered into the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit it, and thou shalt have inherited it, and thou shalt have dwelt upon it, 2 that thou shalt take of the first of the fruits of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, and thou shalt put them into a basket, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there.
