Bible Question: name 5 categories in Psalms? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Tnaik; Thank you for your question. When I was first saved, I did not have any idea what to do with the Book of Psalms. Now I have studied it exstensively, and cannot seem to get enough out of these wonderful and inspiring chapters. To answer your question, Manuscript and Massoretic authorities, the Talmud as well as the ancient versions, divide the Psalms into five books. The Midrash on Ps 1:1 says "Moses gave to the Israelites the five books of the Law; and corresponding with these David gave them the five books of the Psalms." Psalms 1 - 41. Corresponding to: THE GENESIS BOOK, and CONCERNING MAN. Psalms 42 - 72. Corresponding to: THE EXODUS BOOK, and CONCERNING ISRAEL AS A NATION. Psalms 73 - 89. Corresponding to: THE LEVITICUS BOOK, and CONCERNING THE SANCTUARY. Psalms 90 - 106. Corresponding to: THE NUMBERS BOOK, and CONCURRING ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. Psalms 107 - 150. Corresponding to: THE DEUTERONOMY BOOK,, and CONCERNING GOD AND HIS WORD. There are many other interesting features in the chapters as well. There is a web site that I got most of this information from, that I am obliged to give you here: http://members.tripod.com/(?)HarveP/Psalms.html -IN PLACE OF the question mark in the parenthesis, use the tilde, located to the left of the one, at the top of the key. Blessings to you as you search out our Lord's Word. keliy |
