Excerpt from Notes, Critical and Practical, on the Book of Exodus, Vol. 2 of 2: Designed as a General Help to Biblical Reading and Instruction
The portion of the Book of Exodus comprised in chapters 21, 22, and 23, con tains the record of what God spake to Moses, when he 'drew near to the thick darkness,' after the people had retired from their close vicinity to the sacred mount. The contents of these chapters relate for the most part to the judicial or political regulations which God was pleased to enact for his people, with the occasional intermixture of precepts pertaining to the system of worship. But in order to convey an adequate idea of this department of the Pentateuch, it will be proper to present to the reader a compendious view of the peculiar civil and ecclesiastical polity of the Hebrews, reserving to our subsequent notes, as occasion may require, a more detailed exhibition of its several distinguishing features.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explicates the unique structure and nature of the ancient Hebrew legal system, known as Theocracy. Under Theocracy, the God of Israel, Jehovah, became the temporal king and supreme civil magistrate of the nation, a radical departure from the patriarchial system that preceded it. The author delves into the implications of this innovative shift, exploring how it shaped not only the administration of law, but also the moral and religious consciousness of the Israelites. The book also traces the development of the Hebrew legal system from its humble beginnings to its eventual codification in the Torah, highlighting its profound impact on the development of Western legal systems and ideas about justice. In sum, this book offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the evolution of law and the role of religion in shaping societal values.
