Deuteronomy 22 Deuteronomy 22 Deuteronomy 22:1–30 Building and Farming Codes, Marriage and Adultery Laws These studies are designed for believers in Jesus Christ only. If you have exercised faith in Christ, then you are in the right place. If you have not, then you need to heed the words of our Lord, Who said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten [or, uniquely-born] Son, so that every [one] believing [or, trusting] in Him shall not perish, but shall be have eternal life! For God did not send His Son into the world so that He should judge the world, but so that the world shall be saved through Him. The one believing [or, trusting] in Him is not judged, but the one not believing has already been judged, because he has not believed in the Name of the only-begotten [or, uniquely-born] Son of God.” (John 3:16–18). “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life! No one comes to the Father except through [or, by means of] Me!” (John 14:6). Every study of the Word of God ought to be preceded by a naming of your sins to God. This restores you to fellowship with God (1John 1:8–10). If there are people around, you would name these sins silently. If there is no one around, then it does not matter if you name them silently or whether you speak aloud. Sometime ago, I did a verse-by-verse exegesis of the books of the Pentateuch, and, in my opinion, did not really give these books the full treatment that they deserved. Here, I am going back and redoing the book of Deuteronomy. All of the information from that previous study will be included in here and this study will eventually supplant the shorter study of the book of Deuteronomy (HTML) (PDF). From time to time, there will be concepts and exegetical material which will be repeated, because I do not always do a good job in the end editing this material. Links to the completed chapters of Deuteronomy are found here (HTML) (PDF). This chapter is a part of that study. One more thing: it is not necessary that you read the grey Hebrew exegesis tables. They are set apart from the rest of the study so that you can easily skip over them.1 However, if you ever doubt a translation of a phrase or a verse, these translation tables will tell you exactly where that translation came from. This should be the most extensive examination of Deut. 22 available, where you will be able to examine in depth every word of the original text. Joe Hill, Horns: "He paused, twisting his goatee, considering the law in Deuteronomy that forbade clothes with mixed fibers. A problematic bit of Scripture. A matter that required thought. "Only the devil wants man to have a wide range of lightweight and comfortable styles to choose from," he murmured at last, trying out a new proverb. "Although there may be no forgiveness for polyester. On this one matter, Satan and the Lord are in agreement."2 Posted by pandemic, a yahoo question: 1 This was done as a result of the complaints of a close friend, now face to face with the Lord, who said that I intermingled the Hebrew and the explanation so much that he did not like it. Therefore, all of the Hebrew exegesis is visually set apart and may be easily skipped over. 2 From GoodReads.com, accessed October 21, 2013. Deuteronomy Chapter 22 5326 "If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife." Additional Details The part that I find is not very defensible is that if the woman is raped she must also be killed as well, that is the part I want to hear a defense for.3 Outline of Chapter 22: Introduction Part I: Guidelines given by Moses to a New Nation vv. 1–4 Regard for Private Property is Expected vv. 5 Cross-dressing vv. 6–7 Conservation in Nature v. 8 Building Code vv. 9–10 Farming Recommendations vv. 11–12 Clothing Recommendations Part II: Morality Laws for a New Nation vv. 13–27 Marriage, Adultery, Virginity Laws vv. 28–29 Shotgun Marriages vv. 30 Incest Restrictions Addendum Charts, Maps and Short Doctrines: Introduction The Prequel of Deuteronomy 22 Introduction The Principals of Deuteronomy 22 Introduction A Synopsis of Deuteronomy 22 Introduction The Outline/Summary of Matthew Henry Introduction Things the Bible bans (graphic) Introduction The Law Against J-Walking Invalidates Laws Against Murder v. 4 Summary of Being a Good Neighbor v. 8 Parapet (graphic) v. 11 CGG.org on Wearing Clothing of Mixed Fibers v. 11 TMana on mixing materials v. 14 The Marriage Interlude v. 14 An Overview of Deuteronomy 22:13–21 v. 19 Reasons why all of the Mosaic Law is not to be applied to our day and time v. 21 How to Understand the Mores of the Mosaic Law Today v. 21 The Myriad of Ways that 2013 United States is in Trouble v. 23 Moral Values in the Time of Moses v. 27 The Moses Analogy of Rape and Murder v. 27 Consider all pertinent factors in a trial v. 28 A dishonest graphic v. 28 A Second Dishonest Graphic 3 From Yahoo Questions, accessed October 21, 2013. 5327 The Book of Deuteronomy v. 29 Shotgun Wedding (graphic) v. 29 Why Deuteronomy 22:28–29 does not Require that a Woman to Marry her Rapist Addendum What We Learn from Deuteronomy 22 Addendum Liberal Distortions of the Bible Addendum Another Dishonest Graphic Addendum United States Law is Based upon God’s Covenant with Israel Addendum A Complete Translation of Deuteronomy 22 Addendum Word Cloud of Deut. 22 from the Kukis “Not So Literal” Translation Addendum Word Cloud of the Exegesis of Deuteronomy 22 Chapter Outline Charts, Maps and Short Doctrines Forward Doctrines Covered and Alluded to Chapters of the Bible Alluded To Other Chapters of the Bible Psalms Appropriately Exegeted Appropriately Exegeted with this Definition of Terms with this Chapter Chapter Introduction Text Addendum Exegetical Studies in www.kukis.org Deuteronomy Doctrines Covered Doctrines Alluded To God and the Poor; Is Homosexuality Jesus is not a Liberal God Really a Liberal?

B. Thieme, Jr., so that much of this vocabulary is second nature. One of Bob’s contributions to theology is a fresh vocabulary along with a number of concepts which are theologically new or reworked, yet still orthodox. Therefore, if you are unfamiliar with his work, the definitions below will help you to fully understand all that is being said. In addition to this, I will use a number of other more traditional technical theological terms which will be used and therefore defined Deuteronomy Chapter 22 5328 as well. Definition of Terms The angelic conflict is the result of prehistoric creatures being in opposition to God. It began with the independence and rebellion of the one who was the Messiah's angel, Satan, and it continues throughout human history until the end of the Millennium. The Angelic Conflict angelic conflict answers many basic questions about life, such as - "Why was man created? Why sin? Why is there chaos on earth? Why is there so much suffering? Why did our Lord Jesus Christ have to go to the cross?"4 In the New Testament, this is naming your sins to God, so that you are both restored to Rebound temporal fellowship with God and are then filled with the Spirit of God. In the Old (Restoration to Testament, naming your sins to God would result in a restoration of fellowship and, in fellowship with some cases, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit once again (the Holy Spirit was not given God) to all Old Testament believers). Scar tissue of the soul is also called hardness of the heart, the uncircumcised heart, and stubbornness of heart. It is a divine judgment of the soul that restricts capacity for life and love. Unlike divine discipline that produces temporary suffering with no lasting side effects, scar tissue of the soul leaves a debilitating loss of capacity for life or love. However, since it is part of the soul's immaterial essence like emotion, it has no known Scar Tissue on physical properties. However, it does restrict the capacity of the soul. It blocks Spiritual the Soul light, which leads to affinity to the Cosmic System as well as soulish and physical ailments. Psychosis and psychopathic personality are examples of scar tissue of the soul. Although behavior can be altered by psychotherapy and psychiatric drugs, the only cure for such problems is the divine solution, which requires Rebound and application of Bible Doctrine.5 Some of these definitions are taken from http://gracebiblechurchwichita.org/?page_id=1556 http://www.bibledoctrinechurch.org/?subpages/GLOSSARY.shtml http://rickhughesministries.org/content/Biblical-Terms.pdf http://www.gbible.org/index.php?proc=d4d http://www.wordoftruthministries.org/termsanddefs.htm http://www.realtime.net/~wdoud/topics.html http://www.theopedia.com/ —————————— An Introduction to Deuteronomy 22 ntroduction: Deut.

  • Virginity Bias Against Women Is Not from the Torah: a Review of Chapter 3 of Katherine E
    Virginity Bias against Women is not from The Torah: A Review of Chapter 3 of Katherine E. Southwood’s “Marriage by Capture” Authored by Ruth BatYah, wife of Elisha When the Hebrew Bible is put into the hands of someone who already has a patriarchal or misogynistic worldview the result is someone who reads the words of The Torah in a way that will support their already preconceived ideas. This process happens the world over with many lay persons and biblical scholars. In their reading of the Hebrew Bible verses are used in a way to support certain preconceived ideas while other verses that would challenge those same preconceived ideas are ignored. This can happen even with women who have developed internalized misogyny from years of social programming and cultural conditioning. They accept the messages of men who have told them for centuries that the Hebrew Bible is a patriarchal book that values and devalues women on the basis of virginity. The 3rd chapter of Katherine E. Southwood’s “Marriage by Capture” 1 falls prey to this internalized misogynistic virginity bias that has been purported by biblical scholars and lay persons for a long time. It is evident that Ms. Southwood has adopted the opinions of male scholars in forming her own misogynistic view of women’s sexuality. The 3rd chapter of the book also attempts to create a benevolent sexism toward virgin women. In the book virgin women are placed in a sexual hierarchy over non-virgin women and given rewards like praise, positive affirmation, honor and public defense.

A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Re- I . quirements for the Degree I of Master of Arts Milwaukee, Wisconsin July, 1966 . ,. "'. iii ' PREFACE This study was prompted by a general interest in woman and by a particular interest in the woman of the Old Testament. There seems to be -quite a mine of valuable material on woman contained in the pages of the Old Testament. It appears to be relatively un- tapped, a fact which is quite surprising in view of the contem- porary discussion centered about woman. It is hoped that this might be a small beginning in this significant area, if not for others, at lea~t tor the writer. I would like to express thanks to my director, Father Caldwell, for his excellent suggestions and help in keeping me on the right path.

  • The Prohibition of Cross-Dressing in Deuteronomy 22:5 As a Basis for the Controversy Among Churches in Nigeria on Female Wearing of Trousers
    Ademiluka, “Prohibition of Cross-Dressing,” OTE 26/1 (2013): 9-19 9 The Prohibition of Cross-Dressing in Deuteronomy 22:5 as a Basis for the Controversy among Churches in Nigeria on Female Wearing of Trousers SOLOMON OLUSOLA ADEMILUKA (K OGI STATE UNIVERSITY , ANYIGBA ) ABSTRACT The research 1 which this writer conducted recently reveals that one major controversy among churches in Nigeria is on wearing of trousers by women, particularly female Christians. While the majority of the mainline churches still teach that women are not allowed to wear trousers, some of the neo-pentecostals claim that the text is being misapplied; hence many of their female members wear trousers even to church on Sundays. The present study there- fore critically examines the Deuteronomic text vis-à-vis this contro- versy with a view to ascertaining what relevance it has for wearing of trousers by women in contemporary Africa, particularly Nigeria. A INTRODUCTION Reading the text literally, Deut 22:5 appears to condemn cross-dressing, that is, males wearing female clothes and vice versa . In Nigeria, as in other African countries, this text had been given a literal interpretation by all mainline churches since the advent of Christianity in Africa. In recent times, however, there has been a challenge to this interpretation, particularly among some neo- pentecostal churches who claim that the text is being misapplied. It is therefore common these days to see many female members of these denominations not only wearing trousers as part of their casual dressing but, in fact, going to church in them on Sundays. The aim of this article is not to accept or reject female wearing of trous- ers but to examine Deut 22:5 to determine its possible intended meaning with a view to ascertaining whether or not its common application to this subject is correct.

The door of feminist biblical scholarship opens wider all the time, making room for even the author of this paper, a conservative Mennonite wife, mother, and scholar to enter and consider new ways of reading scriptures. Naomi Mara Hyman writes of the following task of feminist interpretation of scripture tradition: When we learn to see the world through the eyes of tradition and when tradition takes into itself women’s views of the world, both will grow…This will not be an easy task. There are many obstacles for women, not least of which is learning the language of our tradition so that we can create our place in it… One can only acquire this knowledge through direct study of the traditional texts themselves, and accessing those sources can be challenging.2 Though challenging indeed, digging out early midrash sources pertaining to the biblical stories of Israelite women is a delight-filled process deepening both the reader’s love of and interest in original biblical texts.

    Deuteronomy 22:8-23:25 Chavurah Shalom Shabbat 8/4/18 22:8 The Parapet Deuteronomy 22:8 “When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, so that you will not bring bloodguilt on your house if anyone falls from it. This mitzvot is for a guard-rail, or parapet, to be built around the edge of a roof or balcony. In the ANE, most houses were built with a flat roof and utilized for various purposes: the drying and storing of produce, socializing, and even sleeping in warm weather. In the case of King David and Bathsheba, the roof was also used for bathing. This open area could provide a gathering area for family and friends, or as a place to stay for hospitality to travelers. It was therefore imperative that safety from falling be provided. A home owner who did not make such provision, was liable for the injury or death of anyone who fell from his roof, hence the phrase "bring bloodguilt on your house." Negligence in this matter would be considered equal to homicide. This law is comparable to Exodus 21:33–34, which holds a person responsible if an animal falls into a pit he has left uncovered. Halakhic literature sees it as an example of an obligation to block or remove anything on one’s property that is capable of causing death, such as a pit, a faulty ladder, or a vicious dog; and to personally avoid potentially harmful food and drink and other risky practices. It has recently been argued that the principle underlying this obligation would support a ban against smoking.

  • Aecet-Yik Now It’S Time to Read the Torah Portion
    3-Year The Torah Portion | Parashat #144 Ki Teitzei (Reading 3 of 3) Torah Cycle August 7, 2021 Parashat #144 I) Reading the Torah Portion aecet-yiK Now it’s time to read the Torah portion. You will get the most out of the Torah portion if you have a Ki Teitzei disciplined plan for approaching it each week. I suggest the following (although you may want to Deuteronomy 24:1-25:19 develop your own plan of attack). Prepare by having a pen and paper ready to take notes or by having Hosea 10:11-11:11 your computer ready. Read the Torah portion quickly just to get a bird’s-eye view of it and to gain a 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 general understanding of its contents. Then read it again slowly and more contemplatively. As you read it, you should keep track of 1) changes in the main storyline (plots and subplots) of the text, 2) the introduction of new major themes you have not encountered heretofore and 3) connections to the main themes developed in the Torah portion. Keeping track of the major themes will provide you with thoughts to help you outline the passage later on. Recording changes in the storyline (subplots) will Revelation 21:9-14 1) help you more accurately interpret Scripture and 2) see connections to themes that may be repeated in the Haftarah and Apostolic readings. I strongly recommend that when you study these lessons you have the following tools available. 1) A Bible [all references are based on the NKJV], 2) a printed copy of this lesson, 3) pen and paper [notebook preferred] where you can either write extra notes or complete answers to questions where the lines in this lesson are not enough space to write on, 4) an on-line version of the Bible.
