1 | Exodus 23:19, last part mostly | Exodus | skccab | 201301 | ||
Shalom y'all It's me again :-) I've read through the Bible 4 times in the last 2 years and each time I come to this passage, it totally throws me. I was wondering if anyone has heard any teachings on it, that maybe it means something more than just what the words are saying. The passage is Exod. 23:19b. Normally, I don't go searching for "hidden" or "deeper" meanings but this verse is just ODD. God is talking about His feasts in all the verses above and even in the beginning of this particular verse and in the verses afterward He's promising the conquest of the land - this command just seems to be stuck in a place that is very odd. It appears to be totally off the wall - and I know that our God is not a God of confusion so what am I missing here? Still learning Cheri |

Hi dear sister, Cheri: Your right, you don't need to look for deeper meaning. That was a pagan practice of the time. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary: Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk-This is the third place in which the prohibition is repeated. It was pointed against an annual pagan ceremony Ex 23:19; Ex 34:26. I hope this helps you. It did me! please remember, God doesn't put the cookies on the top shelf, where his kids cant reach them. :-) lets not look "to hard" for "deeper" meaning, it's hard enough for me to get it, when it's hitting me smack dab in the face. :-) God bless John |

Thanks so much brother-mine! Finding out that it was a pagan practice back then certainly does help explain why it is placed where it is - that was my problem with the statement, it's placement. The Bible is definitely a profound book but when it says that Moses climbed up a hill you can be pretty sure that MOSES CLIMBED UP A HILL, and when it says that Jesus sat and taught His disciples, it's a safe bet to repeat it, JESUS SAT AND TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES, nothing less and nothing more. (There is certainly revelation knowledge, but I've found [at least for me anyway] that most of the revelation knowledge I've received has been for a particular period of time/or need - in other words, not something one would start a new teaching on.) That's why that verse threw me for a loop - I knew I was missing something. Thank you again, John :-) Cheri |

You are, so welcome, my Sister! It's really such a comfort to know I can be a help. I believe by the way, that, there are no new revelations, and, in the words of one great teacher, I'm paraphrasing of course: "Given what we have in the holy scriptures: If God were to actually speak, from Heaven, today, He would just be repeating Himself! Shalom John |
