This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws and Polity of the Jews The Theocracy by no means excluded the rule by judges, kings, or priests. On the contrary, the code made ample pro vision for all these stipulating, however, that such offices must be held as under the Supreme Ruler, and filled by persons obedient to the laws, and ministers of God. As this special feature has been fully treated of by other writers, it need here only be remarked that the Mosaic legislation by no means - as it has been falsely asserted - contemplated a hierarchy. In fact, not only was the tribe of Levi so circumscribed in position that it was utterly impossible for it to arrogate to itself power over the other tribes, but from the time of Moses to that of the Maccabees only one priest, Samuel, is found ruling the Israelites. In conclusion, attention should be directed to a few distino tive features of the Theocracy, and to its special agencies, as illustrated by the history of Israel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewish Laws and Customs: Some of the Laws and Usages of the Children of the Ghetto The author is not conscious of having said anything untrue or derogatory to the modern Israelite. Indeed, he has taken pains to omit many laws and customs that might be misinterpreted by Gentiles to the discredit of the Jews in general. The reader should first familiarize himself with the codified laws and then proceed to the explanations immediately succeeding.

Download or read book JEWISH NATION written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewish Nation: Containing an Account of Their Manners and Customs, Rites and Worship, Laws and Polity The manners and customs of the ancient Jews, and other nations mentioned in the Bible, differed very much from those of Europe and America at the present time. On this account it is not easy for a modern reader to understand some passages of Scripture. Hence many things in the Bible seem very strange to those who do not know the man ner in which people in the East lived in former times. Nor do the beauty and importance of many texts appear, unless what is alluded to in them is known. The eastern manners and customs of old times may be explained from two sources -1. From the ancient writers Of other nations, who have described the customs of former times. Their works contain many passages which confirm the accounts given in the Bible, and nothing which really contradicts them when carefully examined. Learned men have clearly proved this. Nor should we forget, that a great part of the Old Testament was written many hundred years before any other book now in existence - 2. Much also may be learned from modern travelers, who have vi sited the places mentioned in the Bible, and other countries of the East. People live there now very much in the same manner as they did in the times about which we read in the Bible, which were from two to six thousand years ago. The books of eastern travelers now are full of such state ments; many are given in this volume, but they are only a small part of what might have been stated. Perhaps some travelers have gone too far, and mention as illustrations of the Bible what are not really such. Also the rites and ceremonies of the Jewish religion are too often carelessly passed by, from ignorance as to many of the particulars, which are very interesting when explained by the customs of the ancient Jews, or by the accounts of their own writers who lived about the time of our Saviour. The laws and polity, or the political institutions of the Jews, contain much that is very important to be known, but which is not noticed by common readers; here, also, a knowledge of the manners and customs is of much use. All these things will be found interesting when inquired into. The design of this volume is to induce the reader so to study his Bible; and all who read it should examine the texts noticed. It would have been easy to refer to a great many other texts, but most who read this book can look at a Concordance, or, if young persons, it is a good exercise to examine for themselves, and thus to be led to search the Scriptures. For this reason, as well as to save space, the texts are seldom given at great length in this volume. If that had been done, the book would have been doubled in size and cost, without any advantage in return; while any plan that prevents the examining of the Whole Bible is by no means desirable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and the Law of Change To recapitulate: of scientific studies of the whole of Jewish law (biblical, Talmudic and post-talmudic) there are none always excepting the necessarily eclectic articles in cyclopedias; of monographs there are a considerable number: good, bad and indifferent, adding stone after stone to the edifice; while a sur vey of the whole field in the light of comparative jurisprudence seems never to have been attempted.

Download or read book The Law of Moses Classic Reprint written by Édouard Naville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Moses In the Article which follows, a powerful argu ment is presented in support of the traditional belief of Jews and Christians, and, indeed, of all generations from the time of our Lord till about a hundred years ago, that the Five Books of our Bible, called the Pentateuch, are the Law of Moses. For these last hundred years, a school of criticism has prevailed in' the Universities of Germany and England, which denies this tra dition, and alleges that these five books are, in their present form, a compilation by Jewish scribes, after the Babylonian captivity, from writers so unknown that they can only be designated by letters, J., H., P., H., and so on, who wrote centuries after Moses. Nor is this the most important part of the critical theory. Such writers might tell the truth. But these writers and compilers together are said to have presented in the Pentateuch, 'to the Jewish people and the world, a radically false account of early Jewish history, and to have attributed to Moses legisla tion which came at a much later date. Voltaire once asked whether, if a sacred Book was found to state what was not true, it could be considered sacred. Strange to say, a large body of English.
