God writes on Tables!Over on one and then the other לֹא תִשָּׂא אֶת־שֵׁם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לַשָּׁוְא כִּי לֹא יְנַקֶּה יְהוָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יִשָּׂא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ לֹא יִהְיֶה־לְךָ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים עַל־פָּנָיַ זָכוֹר אֶת־יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת לְקַדְּשׁוֹ כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּךָ לְמַעַן יַאֲרִכוּן יָמֶיךָ עַל הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָךְ
Biblical Creation – Weave Adapted from Moshe Kline: chaver@chaver.com
Two Speakings The LORD said to Moses, say to the sons of Israel... • Moses the Prophet (esoteric) • Moses the Teacher (exoteric)
How does God write?Summary • On Tables! • In Parallel / Stereo / 3D! • Also Inverted Parallel (Chiasma/ta) • The Focus is in the Middle! (like Custard Creams!)
Woven Text in the NT • Matthew’s Gospel – a Jew writing for Jews • The Lord’s Prayer is one of the sub-sections • Use the Principles you have learned: • Base study on the literal text phrase by phrase • Arrange the text in its literary, logical flow • Look for truths set in parallel (and in chiasm) • At the sentence level • At the paragraph level
