Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elohim and Jehovah in the Pentateuch Elohim (god) and Jehovah (in the English Version commonly represented by lord) are found in various propor tions in almost every book of the Old Testament. While they designate the same Being, and are in consequence to a certain extent interchangeable, they nevertheless represent the Most High under different aspects, and are clearly distinct in their usage throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. It will conduce to a better understanding of the man ner of their employment in the Penta teuch if we first look briefly at their proper significance and the use made of them respectively in the other sa cred books.

Book Synopsis The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua by : John William Colenso
Download or read book The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua written by John William Colenso and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua: Critically Examined I have been brought again face to face with questions. Which caused me some uneasiness in former days, but with respect to which I was then enabled to satisfy my mind sufficiently for practical purposes, and I had fondly hoped to have laid the ghosts of them at last for ever. Engrossed with parochial and other work in England, I did what, probably, many other clergy men have done under similar circumstances, - I contented myself with silencing, by means of the specious explanations, which are given in most commentaries, the ordinary objections against the historical character of the early portions of the Old Testament, and settled down into a willing acquiescence in the general truth of the narrative, whatever difficulties might still hang about particular parts of it. In short, the doctrinal and devotional portions of the Bible were What were needed most in parochial duty. And, if a passage of the Old Testament formed at any time the subject of a sermon, it was easy to draw from it practical lessons of daily life, without examining closely into the historical truth of the name tive. It is true, there were one or two stories, which presented great difficulties, too prominent not to be noticed, and which were brought every now and then before us in the Lessons of the Church, such, for instance, as the account of the Creation and the Deluge. But, on the whole, I found so much of Divine Light and Life in these and other parts of the Sacred Book, so much wherewith to feed my own soul and the souls of others, that I was content to take all this for granted, as being true in the main, however wonderful, and as being at least capable, in an extreme case, of some sufficient explanation. Here, however, as I have said, amidst my work in this land, I have been brought face to face with the very questions which I then put by. While translating the story of the Flood, I have had a simple-minded, but intelligent, native, - one with the docility of a child, but the reasoning powers of mature age, - look up, and ask, Is all that true Do you really believe that all this happened thus, - that all the beasts, and birds, and creeping things, upon the earth, large and small, from hot countries and cold, came thus by pairs, and entered into the ark with Noah And did Noah gather food for them all, for the beasts and birds of prey, as well as the rest P My heart answered in the words of the Prophet, Shall a man speak lies in the name of the Loun?' Zech.xiii.3. I dared not do so. My own knowledge of some branches of science, of Geology in particular, had been much increased since I left England; and Inow knew for certain, on geological grounds a fact, of which I had only had misgivings before, viz. That, a Universal Deluge, such as the Bible manifestly speaks of, could not possibly have taken place in the way described in the Book of Genesis, not to mention other difficulties which the story contains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua, Vol. 3: Critically Examined IN this Third Part Of my work I had intended, as I said in Part II, to enter into a close examination of the book Of Genesis, and seek to assign the different parts of it, with such degree of probability as the case admits of, to their respective authors.' I had also stated that in Part III we should have to 'consider at length' the questions affecting the origin Of the book of Deuteronomy, 'in order to be able to detect the passages due to its author in the books of Genesis, Exodus, &c.' I have found it necessary, however, in this Part to confine myself to the latter portion Of my proposed undertaking, in order that I might do the work required more thoroughly, and place the evidence, in as clear and complete a form as possible, before the eyes of my readers. It seemed Of the more importance to do this, and to confine attention for the present to this particular point, inasmuch as the evidence in this case is so very distinct and decisive, that, if I carry my readers with me here, I shall have, in effect, accomplished my main Object in these criticisms, and cleared the way, at all events, for an intelligent and unbiassed examination Of the whole question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua: Considered With Reference to the Objections of the Bishop of Natal In his Preface and Introductory Chapter Dr. Colenso raises a variety of points, the satisfactory discussion of which would occupy more time and space than the discussion of the main body of his work. I shall, therefore, not allow myself to be tempted by the remark of his "simple-minded but intelligent native," (quoted Preface, p. vii, ) or by Dr. Colenso's own speculations respecting the geology of Auvergne, to discuss, upon the present occasion, the question of the Universal Deluge: nor shall I stop to point out how it may happen that one who recognizes in the relation of the sun standing still, a stupendous miracle, may suspend his judgment as to the manner in which that miracle was performed.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined, Vol. 2 Ir will be seen that, in this Second Part of my work, the argument to prove the non-mosaic and unhistorical character Of the Pentateuch is removed altogether from the ground on which the question was discussed in Part I, and is treated upon other, chiefly philological, grounds. My former book has had, I believe, the effect which I desired, having met wit-h such a reception, generally, at the hands of English readers, as satisfies me that there will now exist a very general feeling among them, that there is certainly something in the story Of the Exodus which needs to be explained, and assures me that the requisite attention will be given to the further examination of this important subject. It was my earnest desire and hope to secure such attention from the more thoughtful and intel ligent Of the Laity, without whose aid nothing, I knew, could be done to deliver the Church of England from the restraints Of those time-honoured traditions, which have hitherto checked freedom Of thought and speech among her members, and sealed, to a very great extent, the mouths of her doctors and clergy. But, in order to do this, it was absolutely necessary to awaken their interest in the question to be discussed, by treating it, in the first instance, in the most plain and popular manner.

May the Eternal God of your fathers add to If you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath spoken concerning you! How can I myself12 alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? Get you wise 'men, and understanding, and known among13 your tribes, and I will make them heads over you. And ye'i4 answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. So I took the heads of your tribes, 15 wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and bailiffs among your tribes. And I commanded your judges at thatlti time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and between the stranger with him. Ye shall not respect persons 17 in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not stand in awe of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it. And I commanded you18 at that time all the things which ye should do. And when_1g we journeyed from Horeb, we went through all that great and fearful wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Eternal our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

And the young woman went and called the child's' mother. And Pharaoh's daughterg said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it fore me, and, I will -g1ve thee thy hire. And the woman took the child and nursed it. And the child grew, and she broughtm him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became as her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. And it came to pass in those 1 1 days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren, and saw their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew-man, one of his brethren. And he 12 turned this: way and that way, and when, he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian to death; and hid him In the sand. And when he went out the second day, behold, 13 two men of the Hebrews strove together: and hesaidto the guilty one, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow And he said, 14 Who made thee a personage an officer, or a judge over us? Intendest thou to slay me: as thou slewest the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. 15 Bud Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and abode in the land of Midian: and he sat down by the well. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the gutters to Water their father's flock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua in the Light of the Science and Moral Sense of Our Age: A Complement to All Criticisms of the Text Chaldaean, and only came into use after the Exile. A few slabs and pillars rudely cut in Intaglio, and in a more ancient character, are all we possess from which an idea can be formed of the kind of writing that was practised in the earlier ages of their existence by the Semitic tribes inhabiting Western Asia. How long the legends, which enter so largely into the constitution of the Hebrew writings proper, floated among the people before they were reduced to writing, it is impossible to say; but the date at which they acquired the shape in which they have reached us, is now hardly doubt ful. These writings have, in fact, been brought ever near and nearer to times concerning which we have something like reliable records, whilst the events of which they speak and the personages who figure in them, so long regarded as historical realities, are seen-in the same measure to resolve themselves into phantoms, with no more of sub stance or reality than the dreams of the poet or the visions of the Seer.
