Bible Question: Can someone help me with the number of laws that the religious leaders had made up for the Jews to follow by the time Jesus came on the scene? I seem to remember it was something like 300 or 700 or.... |
Bible Answer: Shalom Curious One, There are 613 civil/moral/religious/temple laws from Gen. to Deut. that comprise the "Law." Just about any statement that speaks of doing or not doing is considered a part of the "law." Now the oral law that Messiah was so against was conceived to help prevent anyone from trespassing the actual law, they were called "fences." I don't know how many of those there are, but to give you an idea: there are about 2 pages in the Bible on foods to eat/not eat - today in 2008 there are over 1000 pages written by renowned rabbis about those 2 bible pages - add-ons, if you will. :-) Hope this helps Cheri |
