Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Israel to the Death of MosesON being asked to write a Preface to this Translation of a portion of Professor Ewald's Geschichte des Volkes Israel, ' my first impulse was to reply that such a work needed none that the author is known to be one of the most intellectually powerful, as well as most learned and accurate of the Hebraists and Biblical scholars of the day; that his History of Israel, his largest, and perhaps his greatest work, is acknowledged by both friends and foes to be striking, original, and ingenious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

(Gen. xii.), as if he hastened past this dark picture to give greater prominence to that noble introduction which had been already delineated by the Fourth (Gen. xii. 1-3); but the remembrance of it has been elsewhere preserved.1 The strife was assuredly long and hard. But the highest and most peculiar element in his historr, and that which has become most fruitful for all future time, is, that he clung so firmly to his assurance of the one true God, and recognised so clearly that true salvation can come from him alone, that he chose rather to abandon fatherland and relations than faith in the sole omnipotence and helpfulness of this supersensuous, heavenly and only true God, and resolved to make this confidence the root of his life and influence. "With-this feeling he must first have acted as a powerful prince towards his own extensive household, and afterwards have persevered in the same course in Canaan and in Egypt, among nations where he encountered a much higher wisdom and more enlarged experience, but at the same time much over-refinement and moral corruption. 3) Abraham as exhibited by the existing narratives. Although we may convince ourselves satisfactorily of the truth of all that has hitherto been explained of the actual history of Abraham, it is not to be denied that in the Old Testament but few and scattered passages concerning him from the oldest writings have been preserved. What we now know of him with any considerable coherence is due to no earlier source than the Book of Origins; but, unhappily, a large portion of that which this book had originally told of this greatest of the Patriarchs has been lost. As it, however (see p. 82 sqq.), brings forward with the greatest interest all that relates to law and rule, Abraham appears in it chie...

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founders and Rulers of United Israel From the Death of Moses to the Division of the Hebrew Kingdom Israel's history is divided into four distinct periods. The first, which ends with the crossing of the Jordan, represents the childhood of the race. It was then that the memory of the nation was weak; but its imagination was strong, as the character of the earliest traditions testifies. The second, which extended to the division of the kingdom at the death of Solomon, was Israel's adolescent period. The third, to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 b.c., brought to the nation grave social, political and religious problems, which rapidly developed the ethical and spiritual consciousness of the race. During the fourth period, from the beginning of the exile to the first Christian century, Judaism, in the trying school of affliction, attained its full maturity and crystallized into a closely knit racial and religious unit. The second period of Hebrew history, with which this volume deals, was Israel's heroic age, when physical strength, courage and patriotism were the prominent virtues, and the deeper spiritual and ethical qualities were only partially developed. It was during this period that the Hebrews most resembled their neighbors in character and faith. Their dominant ambitions were to acquire territory and to extend their authority; and these ambitions were fully realized. Within two short centuries, the tribes from the wilderness became a strong nation, and then grew into a powerful empire. Written records now for the first time began to take the place of popular tradition. As a result, the miraculous element, so prominent in the early tradition, almost completely disappears. The greater part of the material in Samuel and Kings is evidently taken from two early, independent histories. The one told of the call of Saul by Samuel, and of the reign of Israel's first king; the other, which begins with the latter part of the sixteenth chapter of I Samuel, tells of the rise of David and of the glories and sins of the Judean shepherd who made Israel one of the powerful nations of southwestern Asia. These quotations from the Saul and David histories are remarkably picturesque and full of detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Our Old Bible written by Alexander Moody Stuart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Old Bible: Moses on the Plains of Moab Objection to Moses writing of himself in the third person. He supposes the book to have been written three or four hundred years after the death of Moses, and represents the author as composing it after the manner of a drama, and introducing Moses once and again as a speaker. With the natural vigour of his intellect, not strained by critical studies, he held it as certain, that if he could disprove its antiquity and Mosaic authority, all its claim to inspiration would be gone. But it was answered that for a writer to speak of himself in the third person was a form employed by the best ancient authors. That it was used by Moses himself is clear from his summary of Israel's journey ings near the end of the preceding book of Numbers. In the beginning of the thirty-third chapter we read These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord and these are their journeys according to their goings out (v. 1, Then follow the exact words of Moses; which he wrote by the command of God (v. But he does not write as we might have expected, And we departed from Rameses in the first month, but And they departed, and so throughout the chapter speaking of the progress of the nation as their goings, and not as ours, although all the while he was himself their leader. But to modern ears, as well to ancient, if we mistake not, the form which the Hebrew lawgiver has adopted in his introduction to the noble record of the nation's history and teaching and laws is preferable to any other; These are the words which I spake unto all Israel on this side' Jordan in the wilderness would even to us have been neither so good nor so natural a title for his great work as the one which he has himself. Preferred These are the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Israel, Vol. 7 All that Christ could accomplish by coming into this our world of sense as the object of such a unique expectation, he accomplished by the life, labours, and death which we have already followed. He could not do anything higher, nor could he do anything lower, but he did most perfectly that which was required of him as this expected one, by living, acting, teaching, dying, and fulfilling the Divine Will, and, again, by submitting himself to its guidance to the utmost, in the very way in which we have seen all this was done by him. His work 011 earth as a man was perfected with the moment of his death. His entire life, teaching, and work, as it had been exhibited in the full light of history from his first public acts to his last suffering and death, was something in itself perfect, most lofty, and wholly unique; it was something which had never before been witnessed in the long course of Israel's history, and still less amongst the heathen; it was a summit to which all the previous history of Israel, in the first instance, and then also all that of the rest of humanity, aspired, which was more difficult to attain, and, at the same time, far higher than any previous conception and endeavour could anticipate. This life, with its highest inward perfection and its brightly radiant light, every smallest trait of which may become eternally instructive, and the smallest reminiscence of which may perpetually serve to Empire and elevate, is precisely.

Download or read book Deuteronomy written by Robert G. Balfour and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deuteronomy: The Words of Moses on the Plains of Moab Passing over this episode in Israel's history for the present, the only thing that remains to be noticed before the death of Moses on Pisgah is the solemn and affecting charge which he addressed to the people on the plains of Moab, and which we have somewhat fully reported in the book of Deu teronomy. Had I come to this point a few years ago, i would have proceeded at once to take a rapid survey of that long and beautiful discourse, as throwing light upon the character of the aged law giver and his fatherly affection for his people. But, as you know well, doubts have recently been thrown upon the question, whether the words recorded in Deuteronomy were ever spoken by Moses at all. The historical character of the book, or at least of large portions of it, has been denied. It has been confidently asserted that it bears intrinsic evi dence of a later date, and that it contains legisla tion which conflicts with that of the three previous books - legislation which did not come into force till the time of King Josiah, so that we must con clude that it was written shortly before that time by some unknown prophet, and thrown paraboli cally into the form of an address delivered by Moses several centuries before, simply to indicate that it was a legitimate development of the Mosaic law. This view having, from peculiar circum stances, been brought before the public in a way calculated to produce an impression in its favour, I feel that it lies directly in my way, so that I cannot proceed on the assumption that Deuter onomy does contain the speeches and laws of Moses without giving, as briefly as I can, my reasons for this belief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroes and Crises of Early Hebrew History: From the Creation to the Death of Moses Every man consciously or unconsciously makes his own working canon of the Bible. Sometimes this working canon includes everything that is found in the Scriptures, irrespective of relative values; sometimes it is pitiably limited, and fails to include many exceedingly important passages. To use the Bible intelligently and profitably it is important to realize that it is a great library, containing many different books, written by a great variety of authors, who lived in periods widely remote, and who wrote with diverse aims and points of view. Over twelve centuries lie between Moses and Paul, and each century contributed its part to the gradually growing records of God's revelation of his character and will in the experiences, the hearts and the minds of men. The men of later ages, who have given us our present canons of the Old and the New Testaments, in their zeal to preserve all the existing records, included certain writings, which possess only a secondary historical and religious value. Sometimes, as in the case of the Gospels, they have also preserved three or four distinct yet parallel records of the same events; and sometimes, as in the case of the opening books of the Old Testament, they have closely blended together the older and later records into one continuous narrative. The great service of modern, constructive biblical scholarship has been to distinguish and to restore the older records to their original form, and to make it possible again to study the heroic characters and stirring events in Israel's history as recorded by the earliest historians. In simplicity, literary beauty and historical value, the oldest history of Israel far surpasses the work of the later biblical historians. It includes practically all of the peerless narratives which have commanded the attention and moulded the faith and morals of humanity.

The foreground con sists of the details of daily duties, of transitory tasks and of ephemeral interests. The background is made up of those plans and purposes, those ideals and aspirations that mould and shape life and character. The foreground of the life of Israel is made up of dates and names and events which were and are im portant; but the background of her life, the great purpose and ideal, colouring and directing it, and holding the foreground in its firm and regulated grasp, is what is of prime and permanent value in the history of Israel.
