Top Highlights

“The key observation to make from this interdependence is that ‘life’ in the truest sense was only to be enjoyed when an Israelite lived in conformity with God’s expectations.” (Page 516)

“None of these things is based on their merit or worth” (Page 585)

“The repeated use of personal pronouns in God’s words in this verse contrast strongly with his words from a later time, one when he distanced himself from these very types of sacrifices presented by a people whose hearts were far from God. At that later time, the sacrifices were ‘yours,’ not ‘mine’ (see Isa 1:10–15).” (Page 379)

“Balaam, it turns out, was an internationally known prophet, a diviner expert in examining the entrails of animals and observing natural phenomena to determine the will of the gods. He was not a good prophet who went bad or a bad prophet who was trying to be good. He was altogether outside Israel’s prophetic tradition, but he must have thought that the Lord God of Israel was like any other deity he could manipulate by mantic acts. But from the early part of the narrative, when he first encountered the true God in visions, and in the humorous narrative of the journey on the donkey, Balaam began to learn what for him was a strange, bizarre, even incomprehensible lesson: An encounter with the God of reality was fundamentally different from anything he had ever known.” (Page 306)

“By definition, a levir is a man who marries his brother’s widow to engender an heir for his brother. This is presented in Deuteronomy as a familial duty, but not an obligation in the religious sense. There is no need for atonement if the man refuses, but he is shamed.” (Page 1299)
