What Say the Scriptures? Continued

Other scriptural applications, extracts and reviews of the Fourth Directive’s text are to be found, exhibited, and seen here and there throughout the duration of the Bible’s Old Testament. While it is never again recited, as in Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, it does turn up elsewhere in excerpts, “bits and pieces”. To reach our…

What Say the Scriptures? Continued

Elsewhere, in the Psalms, there is more reminiscence of that Fourth Directive in Exodus twentieth chapter (as well as Exodus 31:17): No fewer than six of the Old Testament’s Psalms (Psalms 115:15b-17a; 121:2-7; 124:8-125:3a; 134:3 and 146:5b-9) refer at least indirectly to the “cardinal” event, which supplies, and is the central substance of the Fourth…

Deuteronomy 5:12-15 (Part I)

Deuteronomy fifth chapter quotes Moses himself, as he recites the Decalogue or Ten Directives, originally displayed in Exodus 20th chapter. In Deuteronomy 5, verses 6 through 21, there is a virtual reproduction of the Ten Directives, in Exodus 20:2-17. And amidst exhibition of this “reproduction” is a wealth of informative, instructive orientation, which we must…

But the most significant and most important feature of what is here is the specific character, the nature and persona of this all-embracing Exodus 20:11 “placing”, as modeled, and exemplified by God himself: “For throughout six days, Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all, which is in them.
