Bible Question:
Hey, just a quick clarification, please. When you said, "Yahweh is a jealous God and He did not allow His people to share His Glory with others," does "others" refer to other nations or peoples or rather to other gods? Excellent points, btw God bless Jo |
Bible Answer: Hi, Jo! Sharing His Glory... I am refering to the pagans who would worship anything as god... His Glory, Yahweh's Preeminance (governance) and exclusive Ownership of Israel, was not be shared by the pagan "gods." It is clearly stated that foreigners (non-Israelites) who chose to live among Israel and obey God's covenant with Israel (inclusive of, at that time, circumcision) were to be accepted as natural born Israelites with all the rights and obligations of the people of Israel--the separation was not due to ethnicity but to the manner of worship!
