Os dez mandamentos - sua singularidade e seu lugar na tradição de Israel: o episódio do Monte Sinai e a festa da outorga da Lei

Este artigo descreve a ocasião na qual costumava-se rememorar a dádiva da Lei: a Festa das Semanas (ou Pentecostes). Tal como a Páscoa, que performava o momento do Êxodo, o Pentecostes concretizava o episódio da revelação no Monte Sinai. A comemoração encontra-se na Bíblia Hebraica em dois Salmos e no livro de Crônicas, além de fontes extrabíblicas. O artigo explica que ritos de renovação da aliança, presentes em vários lugares da Bíblia Hebraica, refletiam a consagração e os elementos descritos em Êxodo, cap. 19 (véspera do episódio da dádiva da Lei). Adicionalmente a isso, o artigo toca em tradições judaicas e cristãs diversas que se desenvolveram em torno dos detalhes da descrição da revelação no Monte Sinai

The promise of the land: the inheritance of the land of Canaan by the Israelites

The settlement of the Land of Canaan by the Israelite tribes is a central theme in the Bible which is immensely relevant to the Middle East today.Moshe Weinfeld synthesizes the biblical material on this theme, approaching his subject from three viewpoints: historical, using the Bible as a source; literary-comparatist, comparing Patriarchal stories of settlement with Greek and Roman foundation myths; exegetical, explaining that in Judaism land is a gift from God. He emphasizes the ethical weight of God's Promise of the Land, how failure to achieve it was seen as a reflection of sin and lack of faith, thus illustrating the importance of biblical tradition to one of the most troubled issues of modern history

Deuteronomy 1-11 is here presented in a groundbreaking new translation, with a comprehensive introduction and thorough commentary by world-renowned Israeli biblical scholar Moshe Weinfeld. [Known as the] . . . "second law," Deuteronomy portrays Moses as the founder and great lawgiver of Israel. In a series of addresses, Moses reviews his life and the life of God's people. He reminds them of the guiding hand of God, which has brought them thus far along the way, and will bring their Exodus and Wanderings to a triumphal conclusion in the Holy Land. Through a beautiful translation and insightful comments in this first of two volumes on Deuteronomy, Weinfeld reinvigorates the basic laws of society with their life-giving power: the Shema ("Hear 0 Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"), the Great Commandment ("You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might"). These laws govern Israelite religious and communal life under God's guidance.Includes bibliographical references (pages 457-458).The Name and its meaning -- Outline of contents -- The literary form of Deuteronomy -- The covenant at the plains of Moab -- The covenant at the plains of Moab -- Composition and structure -- Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomic historiographer -- "Singular" and "plural" layers -- Deuteronomy: the Archimedean point in the history of the Pentateuchal literature -- The book of law (Torah) -- Relation of Deuteronomy to the Tetrateuch -- Relation of Deuteronomy to the Tetrateuch -- Deuteronomy as turning point in Israelite religion -- Deuteronomy and its northern roots -- The land in Deuteronomy -- The idea of the election of Israel -- Deuteronomy and wisdom literature -- Deuteronomy and the reform of Josiah -- The Superscription, place, and date of the address -- Historical survey -- The order to depart -- The organization of the judiciary -- The sin of the spies -- The speech of Moses concerning the sin of the spies -- The circuit of Edom, Moab, and Ammon -- The conquest of Transjordan -- The defeat of Og -- Summary of conquests and their allotment -- Instructions to the Transjordanian tribes concerning the conquest -- The prayer of Moses -- Hortatory address -- The assignment by Moses of the cities of refuge in Transjordan -- Introduction to the exposition of the Law in Chapters 5-26 -- The prologue to the Decalogue -- Exclusive allegiances to YHWH -- The conquest of the land; the struggle with the Canaanites and their culture -- The lessons from the wanderings in the desert -- The sin of the past -- The preparations for the entrance into the promised land.Deuteronomy 1-11 is here presented in a groundbreaking new translation, with a comprehensive introduction and thorough commentary by world-renowned Israeli biblical scholar Moshe Weinfeld.
