Part 2"},"content":{"rendered":"

I\u2019m not sure I know the answer to God\u2019s treatment of Nadab and Abihu<\/a>.\u00a0 And with me, there\u2019s some real duplicity here.\u00a0 Though I\u2019m not fond of the particular situation recorded in Leviticus, if Nadab and Abihu had been a couple of notorious child molesters, I\u2019d be singing a different tune.\u00a0 I know far too many women who were abused sexually by male relatives.\u00a0 If God wanted to step in and fry a couple of those perverts as an example, I would probably say, \u201camen, glory hallelujah, praise the Lord!\u201d\u00a0 But Nadab and Abihu were, uhm,\u2026religious<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Moses\u2019 explanation is clear enough in the text.\u00a0 He spoke to Aaron, who was his own brother and Nadab\u2019s and Abihu\u2019s father. \u00a0This is what the Lord spoke: \u201cAmong the ones close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of all the people I will be honored.\u201d<\/em>1<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0So Aaron kept silent.2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>There are prosecutors who speak out for the victims of child abuse, juries that will convict the abusers, and judges who will sentence them.\u00a0 But who speaks on behalf of the holiness of God, who convicts and sentences those who defame Him?\u00a0 Rationally I concede that God must defend his own holiness.\u00a0 But this rationality is as cold and calculating as an adding machine.\u00a0 Emotionally I am still troubled.\u00a0 I can\u2019t just pass this off as an inexplicable act of Yahweh in the Old Testament.\u00a0 <\/a>The Jews asked Jesus, Who do you<\/em>3<\/sup><\/a> claim to be?4<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Jesus answered finally, I tell you the solemn truth, before Abraham came into existence, I am!<\/em>5<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

We may quibble and philosophize today about Jesus\u2019 meaning. \u00a0The Jews who heard him understood him perfectly well.\u00a0 He spoke the unspeakable name of God and claimed to be the very one who spoke to Moses from the burning bush and on the mountain at Sinai, the one who inscribed the tables of the law with his own finger and struck down Nadab and Abihu with fire.\u00a0 And I know they understood this because, Then they picked up stones to throw at him<\/em>\u20266<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

In Leviticus there is a story about the son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man who misused the Name<\/em> [i.e., of God] and cursed<\/em>.7<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 A mortal man, the son of a carpenter as the Jews of Jesus\u2019 day thought, certainly misused the Name if he claimed to be the I Am<\/em> who spoke to Moses before Abraham was born.\u00a0 The Lord told Moses, Bring the one who cursed outside the camp, and all who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the whole congregation is to stone him to death<\/em>.8<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0The Lord continued to generalize this commandment, If any man curses his God he will bear responsibility for his sin, and one who misuses the name of the Lord must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must surely stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native citizen; when he misuses the Name he must be put to death<\/em>.9<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Believers witness the irony here:\u00a0 Jesus faced an angry crowd about to stone him in accordance with his own word.\u00a0 These Jews were under Roman dominion.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have the political freedom to practice their own religion this way.\u00a0 They would surely be charged with crimes if they succeeded in their mission.\u00a0 But it is not too hard for me to imagine what drove them to put themselves in jeopardy:\u00a0 They believed they were speaking and acting on behalf of the holiness of God and the honor due his name, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area<\/em>.10<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t rush out to see THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST<\/a> when it came out.\u00a0 Those are hard enough chapters to read.\u00a0 And if Mel Gibson<\/a> is known for anything, he is surely known for graphic, gut-wrenching violence.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, I enjoy Mel Gibson\u2019s movies.\u00a0 I just wasn\u2019t eager to endure that much pain.\u00a0 Finally, I saw the film on DVD.\u00a0 Yes, it was painful, but I fortified myself (maybe anesthetized myself some) by considering as I watched whether I thought the film was anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n

Now how can a story where all the major characters are Jews be anti-Semitic?\u00a0 As I watched and as I thought about it after, it came to me:\u00a0 How the story-teller treats Caiaphas tells the tale.\u00a0 Caiaphas in the film was portrayed as a crafty politician.\u00a0 I imagine that Caiaphas was a crafty politician; he must have been to have hamstrung a man like Pilate the way he did.\u00a0 But he was also high priest.\u00a0 Institutionally, he held the moral high ground.\u00a0 The odds, so to speak, were in his favor.\u00a0 Yes, he was under the same Roman dominion as the Jews who would have stoned Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, he had to use some guile to get a Roman\u2014who had little respect, probably even contempt, for Jewish beliefs\u2014to fulfill his purpose, but ultimately his purpose was to defend his people and the holiness and honor of God.<\/p>\n

You see\u2014and this is where the movie might have done a better job\u2014Caiaphas was doing what Jesus had taught Moses was right, unless of course Caiaphas was completely wrong about who Jesus is; unless, that is, Jesus actually is the I Am<\/em> who spoke to Moses before Abraham was born.\u00a0 Confusing, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 But believers recognize this incident as the prime example of mistaken identity and wrongful prosecution, an error of judicial judgment. \u00a0Such errors have been made in every legal system conceived by man.\u00a0 It\u2019s not an error unique to Jews in general or Caiaphas in particular.\u00a0 We fear it so, that many wish to take capital punishment out of judges\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n

So Caiaphas\u2019 judicial error and his political skill at persuading Pilate to carry out a sentence the high priest no longer had the authority to mete out, condemned Jesus to death.\u00a0 His death is the foundation of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-8 NET):<\/p>\n

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you \u2013 unless you believed in vain.\u00a0 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received \u2013 that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day<\/a> according to the scriptures [Table<\/a>]<\/em>, and that he appeared to Cephas [Peter]<\/em>, then to the twelve.\u00a0 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at one time, most<\/a> of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.\u00a0 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.\u00a0 Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>This might seem like a strange journey, from God\u2019s judgment against Nadab and Abihu to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 But these events, joined as they are, were like inverted bookends to my flirtation with atheism.\u00a0 The beginning of my unbelief was not the harshness of God\u2019s judgments, but his leniency with me when I started having sex with my high school girlfriend.\u00a0 It took me completely by surprise when He didn\u2019t punish me for sin.<\/p>\n

This makes sense to me if Lavinia Cohn-Sherbok<\/a> was correct in her assertion that: \u201cGod\u2019s name was almost certainly pronounced in early times, but by the third century BCE [e.g., about the time the Septuagint was translated into Greek] the consonants were regarded as so sacred that they were never articulated.\u201d11<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0Another article on myjewishlearning<\/a>\u2014\u201cWhat Is The Tetragrammaton?<\/a>\u201d\u2014acknowleged, \u201cThe origin of the taboo on pronouncing God\u2019s name aloud \u2014 viewing this as irreverent or possibly even a violation of the commandment not to take God\u2019s name in vain \u2014 is not entirely clear.\u00a0 However,\u201d the article continued:<\/p>\n

some attribute it to a Temple practice in which only the High Priest was allowed to utter the name, and only when in the Temple and reciting the priestly blessing.\u00a0 In the\u00a0Mishnah<\/a> (in Sanhedrin 10.1<\/a>), as Rabbi Louis Jacobs notes in\u00a0The Jewish Religion, the sage Abba Saul declares that one who pronounces the divine name with its letters (i.e. as it is spelled) has no share in the\u00a0World to Come<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found the following concerning writing the Name in \u201cThe Name of God<\/a>\u201d on Mechon Mamre<\/a> online:<\/p>\n

Jews do not casually write any Name of God.\u00a0 This practice does not come from the commandment not to take the LORD’s Name in vain, as many suppose\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The Torah does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it only prohibits erasing or defacing a Name of God.\u00a0 However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated, or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.<\/em><\/p>\n

The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deuteronomy 12,3<\/a>.\u00a0 In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities.\u00a0 Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God.\u00a0 From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface a Name of God.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The translators of the Septuagint carried this tradition into their writing, substituting \u03ba\u03cd\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> for \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/a> (ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>) and \u03b8\u03b5\u03cc\u03c2<\/a> for \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05d5<\/a> (\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym<\/em>), and then the New Testament authors followed that same tradition.\u00a0 (We still mostly follow this tradition<\/a> even when translating the Masoretic text into English.)<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s quotation of Joel 2:32 (3:5) came to mind, For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved<\/strong><\/em>.12<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0As I compared the translations from the Hebrew (Table9<\/a> below) with that of the Greek (Table10<\/a> below), I found that the Masoretic text had nothing equivalent to \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03b5\u1f50\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03b9\u03b6\u1f79\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9<\/a> (NETS: \u201cand people who have good news announced to them;\u201d Elpenor: and they that have glad tidings preached to them<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Though I am more and more willing to consider this prima facie evidence that the Masoretes removed it rather than that it was added as a \u201choax<\/a>\u201d perpetrated by Eusebius and Origen, I would consider it stronger evidence if either Paul or Peter (Acts 2:17-21<\/a>) had quoted the entire verse.\u00a0 In this particular verse I concede that a Christian scribe might have added \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b5\u1f50\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03b9\u03b6\u1f79\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9 as a qualification, whom the Lord<\/em> (yeh\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) will call<\/em>.\u00a0 I try to stay open to the idea that the discovery of older manuscripts or manuscript fragments may still bolster one reading over another.<\/p>\n
