Du sollst nicht töten!: »Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben« in Ethik und Recht des Alten Testaments
There exists a tension between the categorical prohibition of killing in the Decalogue and the claim for or toleration of homicide, and of killing animals, in other passages of the Old Testament. This tension can be made understandable if we see in the Decalogue an attempt to formulate the ethical foundations of given legal bases. The ethica/ dictate of not killing seems to have given an impulse to the development of the law to Iimit bloodshed as much as possible. The conviction that bloodshed can only be ))atoned for>reverence for Iife<< which sets free and, at the same time, restricts the tendency to avoid bloodshed in the ethics and laws of the Old Testamen
Tacit knowledge in the Old Testament
This paper looks for evidence of tacit knowledge in the Old Testament, which can be found in descriptions of the professional knowledge of craftsmen and artists, priests and prophets, as well as judges. Another area is cultural, social and moral knowledge, which includes habitualized sensibilities and values. They play a role not only in moral decisions and judgments, but also in criticism of traditional values and norms. Finally, tacit knowledge in the Old Testament may be either internalized (primarily in the heart) or externalized (in cultural artifacts such as the “horns of the altar” or the architectural concept of a sanctuary)
