Deuteronomy 4

For some odd reason, it seemed good to do Deuteronomy 4. I cannot say the word Deuteronomy without thinking of Dr. Peter Craigie, a teacher of mine over 35 years ago in Calgary. He taught me that Deuteronomy is a book of love. So many of us youngsters then did not have time to read it well. If I say I believe, I must not write off the books that have been given to teach me what my responses are to be. I don't know yet what I will learn, so I had better study with my mind somewhat open, no? Anyway Peter was right. And my thought that so-called 'law' had nothing to teach me, was wrong. So thoroughly wrong I can hardly express it. And the law vs grace issue, that arises when you read Romans, is not to be understood in a facile manner. Who can survive without the instruction that is from God?

Curious to me that this chapter ends with a section on the cities of refuge for involuntary manslaughter. We will come back to this in other sections of Torah still to be discovered.

Re geography and names, I note that Sihon is spelled differently from the same king in the Psalms, סיחן rather than סחון. Also Sion rather than Zion, and Sion is called Hermon (which is of course in the north.) Hills or mountains - take your choice, only one word הר in Hebrew.

Why should I pay attention? What have I heard of fire? What have I seen? That's another book. But is this not threatening? Not at all. It is reality - people have great gifts and they can fail in governance. We worship the idols of the age. And of course, we follow money in every age. So how then do we do this law with success? In Deuteronomy, perhaps it is the 10 words, (next chapter) but I haven't read it all yet.  And Deuteronomy gives rise to the story of Job (itself a response to chapter 28 and to Genesis of course), so the end is not reducible to a formula, but to the yes of this God to us.

Note verse 42 previously, lit from yesterday three days.

Deuteronomy 4 Fn Min Max Syll
וְעַתָּ֣ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל שְׁמַ֤ע אֶל־הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְאֶל־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָֽנֹכִ֛י מְלַמֵּ֥ד אֶתְכֶ֖ם לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת
לְמַ֣עַן תִּֽחְי֗וּ וּבָאתֶם֙ וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם נֹתֵ֥ן לָכֶֽם
1 And now, Israel, hear the statutes and the judgments that I am teaching you to do,
so that you may live and go in and possess the land which Yahweh the God of your ancestors is giving to you.

to keep the commandments of Yahweh your God that I myself have commanded you.

עֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ הָֽרֹאֹ֔ת אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה בְּבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר
כִּ֣י כָל־הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָלַךְ֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י בַֽעַל־פְּע֔וֹר הִשְׁמִיד֛וֹ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ
3 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did in Baal-Peor,
for all the persons who walked after Baal-Peor, Yahweh your God exterminated from within you.

live, all of you, today.

6 And you will keep watch and you will do, for this is your wisdom and your understanding for the sight of the peoples,
who will hear of all these statutes and they will say, Certainly a people wise and discerning, this great nation.

כִּ֚י מִי־ג֣וֹי גָּד֔וֹל אֲשֶׁר־ל֥וֹ אֱלֹהִ֖ים קְרֹבִ֣ים אֵלָ֑יו

10 ~ The day that you stood in the presence of Yahweh your God at Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, Convene for me the people and I will have them hear my word,

וַתִּקְרְב֥וּן וַתַּֽעַמְד֖וּן תַּ֣חַת הָהָ֑ר

The voice of words you, the ones hearing, but similitude none of you saw, except a voice.
3c 4C 12
18
וַיַּגֵּ֨ד לָכֶ֜ם אֶת־בְּרִית֗וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה אֶתְכֶם֙ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת עֲשֶׂ֖רֶת הַדְּבָרִ֑ים
וַֽיִּכְתְּבֵ֔ם עַל־שְׁנֵ֖י לֻח֥וֹת אֲבָנִֽים
13 And he made clear to you his covenant that he commanded you to do, ten words.

לַעֲשֹׂתְכֶ֣ם אֹתָ֔ם בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ
14 And me Yahweh commanded at that time to teach you the statutes and judgments,
that you would do them in the land that you will cross over toward to possess it.

וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּ֥ם מְאֹ֖ד לְנַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶ֑ם

15 So be guarded especially for your integrity,
for you did not see any similitude on the day of the word of Yahweh to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire.

tree and stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

34 B Or has a god ventured to come to, to receive for himself a nation, from within a nation, by temptations, from signs, and in portents, and in war, and with a courageous hand and by an arm stretched out, and by great fears,
according to everything that Yahweh your God has undertaken for you in Egypt in your sight.
