Bible Note: Hi, MJH... Deuteronomy is a sort of commentary on Leviticus. Moses reiterates the Law expanding, expounding, expositing the Law. Hence, Moses is speaking in Deuteronomy 12 of Leviticus 17. Hence, the focus is to the Levites, but widening the command to all Israel. The idea being: You don't go off and worship God on your own outside of His prescribed approach. No syncretism or pluralism here! The Law could be quite explicit, but Israel never succeeded in walking it out fully, or editing it to suit their tastes. Often, although compliance might not be perfect, there was some latitude granted by God. That's what we call mercy. Praise God for that, too, lest there would never be hope for anyone at any time in history. In Him, Doc PS A good commentary on the Law is Hebrews. We can only begin to understand the OT in the light of the NT. |
