Intro to Bible 3rd Q

only the notes for the book of Law in the Hebrew Bible

QuestionAnswer
The Former Prophets (names of books in the Bible) Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings AKA the Deuteronomic History
The Latter Prophets (names of books in the Bible) The ones we discussed: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Hosea
Literary Dilemma between Joshua and Judges Both illustrate the principle of Just Recompense, where Joshua shows that good people are rewarded and Judges shows that bad people are punished
Major vs Minor Judges Minor judges - in a verse or less Major judges - extended part of the Bible, told using the exact same outline (the Cycle of History)
The Cycle of History There are disobedient people who followed a foreign god, God punishes them (in the form of occupation by a foreign group), Israel "cries out in repentance", God sends "the deliverer"/the judge, and the judge fucking dies
Shechem Experiment Shows a failed attempt at a monarchy, in an attempt to show a historical conversation of the relative merits of monarchy. Summarized, the failed attempt at a monarchy comes to a dishonorable end
Judges 17-21 Used to transition between "monarchy bad" and "monarchy good actually!", demonstrates horrible things happening and states because "there is no king in the land"
The 3 Kings - Saul Saul begins his reign 1050 BCE, he and his eldest son die in battle at Beth-Shaun, another son comes to power (everyone hates him and his name is a swear), rulers of Israel beg David to take over
The 3 Kings - David probably a real guy, has a Succession Narrative at 2 Samuel 1-7 cause he isn't a descendant of Saul 3 major "accomplishments" - national organizational chart (tribes make covenant to him) Jerusalem capital city Davidic covenant - God said so
The 3 Kings - Solomon Probably real, dies 922 BCE (after death, WARRRR) Succession Narrative - 1 Kings 1-5 3 accomplishments: Administrative Districts (tied by taxes) Building up cities Legendary Wisdom (prostitutes and baby)
The Timeline - Divided Monarchy through Israel In Order: Jeroboam 1, Omri, Ahab, Elijah and Elishah, Jereboam 2, Amos and Hosea, 722
Jereboam I Collected slaves before ruling, still popular. He's bad (rebellion from Davidic line), dies horrifically, then many violent coups
Omri Establishes ruling dynasty in the North, solidifies the nation of Israel, International Diplomacy then he dies
Ahab Marries Jezebel (a Phoenician) and subtly shifts the culture of Israel, enacts certain economic changes
Elijah and Elishah Prophets from 1 Kings 17 - 2 Kings 10, shifts away from institutional religion and towards charismatic religion
Jereboam II Known as a Golden Age, really more of an "upper-class golden age" (poor people doing BAD)
Amos Latter Prophet, writing prophet lists the sins of Israel in Amos 2 6-8 (they boil down to "stop bullying the poor for being poor"), think religion and economy
Hosea Also a latter prophet, didn't really talk about him but he exists too
The Timeline - Divided Monarchy through Judah In Order: Rehoboam, Athalia, Hezikiah and Isaiah, Josiah and Jeremiah, 586
Rehoboam Solomon's son/grandson/something related, represents the Davidic line through Judah Judah is inherently better according to Deuteronomic History
Athaliah Rules for ~6 yrs, most important part is how she comes to power and how she is removed from it comes to power when her son (the King) dies in battle she is deposed because she threatens Davidic line (married in)
Hezekiah and Isaiah Hezekiah - One of the 2 reforming kings (emphasize religious devotion) Prophet is Isaiah - responds to the fact that everything was conquered except Jerusalem, God takes the people "to court", stop doing bad AND do good, think religion and ethics
Josiah and Jeremiah Josiah - the 2nd reforming king (emphasize religious devotion to God) Prophet is Jeremiah - as the babylonians conquer Judah, he's like "guys God's pissed at us, we need an internalized bent to obey, personal intimacy with God, and forgiveness"
Law Codes - Decalog the 10 commandments found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 Moral norms stated directly from God as a statement of authority
Law Codes - Book of the Covenant/Covenant Code Found in Exodus 20:21 - 22:33 Addressed to the Israelites at their camp in Mount Sinai, the oldest of the 5 law codes, story doesn't make sense historically
Law Codes - Deuteronomic Code Found in Deuteronomy 12 - 26 Josiah (reforming king, tried to center religion around Jerusalem), tried to legitimize reforms by "discovering" book of law in the temple
Law Codes - The Holiness Code Found in Leviticus 17-26 Prefaced "Be holy, as your lord God is holy" Law's purpose is to enable the community to reflect the character of God
Law Codes - Priestly Code Found in Leviticus 1-16 Cultic regulations and instructions for sacrifice 3 reasons to sacrifice - fellowship w/ God, recognize that life is a gift from God, express repentance for an accidental offense
Big Ideas in Law There is only 1 source of Law and it's God implies: there is no separation between sacred and secular everyone is equal under the law only God can forgive an offense law is given meaning among a set of social characteristics
