Refer to my 9/25/18 post about the margin notes in my Bible, and why I decided to share them on this blog.
These are my notes for Exodus:
Chapter 15: This poem is four movements: 1 & 2 looking back, 3 looking forward, 4 the coming of God’s Kingdom at the end.
Movement 1 is 1-5, movement 2 is 6-10, movement 3 is 11-16, movement 4 is 17-18.
16:29: God gave the Sabbath to Israel.
20:8: Christians are not required because it is a sign of the covenant with Israel.
21:22-25: The value of the unborn child.
31:13: The Sabbath is a sign between God and Israel only.
32:8: compare with Gal. 1:6.
34:14 “jealous”: Jealous to protect what is His.
Notes for Leviticus:
2:1 “anyone”: Hebrew “living being.”
Chap 11: “detestable to you”: not detestable to God.
Chap 18: These are pagan practices Israel is to NOT follow, including sexual immorality.
Chap 20: Starts a new context from 19. More pagan practices that Israel is NOT to follow because it will make them like the detestable pagans.
Chap 26: “If, then” covenant. IF Israel obeys, THEN God blesses; IF Israel disobeys, then God punishes.
Notes for Numbers:
13:32-33: This is an outright lie to discourage the people. The Nephilim were wiped out in the Flood.
21:5: “spoke against God”: see 1 Cor. 10:9.
Notes for Deuteronomy:
1:39: Children don’t know good from evil.
4:2: Don’t add to, or subtract from, God’s Word.
4:8: Only Israel has the Law.
4:24: Jealous to protect what is His.
5:3: The covenant was not with those prior to Moses.
5:15: The reason for the Sabbath; only between Israel and God.
17:6-7: Witnesses needed for execution.
17:17: Against polygamy.
18:22: The test of a prophet.
22:5 a woman not to wear men’s clothing: This possibly means not to wear a warrior’s/soldier’s clothing, as per Josephus 4:8:43.
32:16, 17, 21: note the parallels/synonyms: “foreign gods,” “demons,” “so-called gods”
