To tell the truth I want to skip these parts of the Bible that deals with legalities. So many rules and laws that, speaking today, is so primitive and some are even so common sensical that they ought not to have been written at ll. What benefit are these for so devotional reader of the Bible. Unless one is a biblical scholar or a theologian or a law student, these chapters can be a fascinating area of study.
These rules and laws are the foundation of our jurisprudence; that is undeniable. These divine-human laws created civilization and paved the way for the revelation of God in Christ.
Exo 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
Exo 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
These laws are a revelation of God for God is God of order.
1Co 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Up to now these laws and rule are still much relevant as they were during the times of the Patriarch.
These laws reveal grace.
To tell the truth I don’t know what to make of these chapters.
