  19. Gen 9.12-13 And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Gen 17.10-12 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you, Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Ex 31.16-17 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’” Jeremiah 31:31-34 1Cor 11.25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt-- a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, "Know the LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. Covenants: Noahic Gen 9.9-17 Abrahamic Gen 17.4-14 Mosaic Ex 31.12-18, Neh 9.13-14, Ez 20.12, 20 New Luke 22.20, 1 Cor 11.23-26

  20. Exegesis (Greek: ξηγεσθαι 'to lead out') The Exegetical Process • Traditional exegesis involves: • analysis of significant words in the text in regard to translation; • examination of the general historical and cultural context, • confirmation of the limits of the passage, • examination of the context within the text. Discovering the Word of the LORD

  21. 1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; *in your great compassion blot out my offenses. 2 Wash me through and through from my wickedness *and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, *and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you only have I sinned *and done what is evil in your sight. 5 And so you are justified when you speak *and upright in your judgment. Psalm 51 BCP page 656, Miserere mei, Deus Parallelism Continue…

  22. 6 Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, *a sinner from my mother's womb. 7 For behold, you look for truth deep within me, *and will make me understand wisdom secretly. 8 Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; *wash me, and I shall be clean indeed. 9 Make me hear of joy and gladness, *that the body you have broken may rejoice. 10 Hide your face from my sins *and blot out all my iniquities. Psalm 51 - continued Parallelism Hyperbole Is this a non-sequitor? Continue…

  23. 11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, *and renew a right spirit within me. 12 Cast me not away from your presence *and take not your holy Spirit from me. 13 Give me the joy of your saving help again *and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit. 14 I shall teach your ways to the wicked, *and sinners shall return to you. 15 Deliver me from death, O God, *and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness,O God of my salvation. Psalm 51 - continued Parallelism Caution: Don’t read NT theology into David! Is this a non-sequitor? Continue…

  24. 16 Open my lips, O Lord, *and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. 17 Had you desired it, I would have offered sacrifice, *but you take no delight in burnt-offerings. 18 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; *a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 19 Be favorable and gracious to Zion, *and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 20 Then you will be pleased with the appointed sacrifices,with burnt-offerings and oblations; *then shall they offer young bullocks upon your altar. Psalm 51 - continued Is this a non-sequitor?

  25. 22 " 'Now if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses- 23 any of the LORD's commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come- 24 and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering. 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have brought to the LORD for their wrong an offering made by fire and a sin offering. 26 The whole Israelite community and the aliens living among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.   At-one How is one restored (made at-one) with God and community for unintentional wrong?  Numbers 15

  26. 27 " 'But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. 28 The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien.  30 " 'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. 31 Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.' " At-one How is one restored (made at-one) with God and community for intentional (defiant) wrong?  Numbers 15

  27.  32 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. Numbers 15 Why does this story follow the teaching about at-one-ment for unintentional vs defiant wrong? 

  28. Why does David think there is no sacrifice for his wrong?  16 Open my lips, O Lord, *and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. 17 Had you desired it, I would have offered sacrifice, *but you take no delight in burnt-offerings. 18 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; *a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 19 Be favorable and gracious to Zion, *and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 20 Then you will be pleased with the appointed sacrifices,with burnt-offerings and oblations; *then shall they offer young bullocks upon your altar. Psalm 51 What is David really asking for in this Psalm? 

  29. Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness; and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. And one does not presume to take this honor, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was. Hebrews 5:1-10 Why is the author saying this? What is the author getting at?  Continue…

  30. And one does not presume to take this honor, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:1-10 - continued

  31. So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him,"You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place,"You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:1-10 - continued
