The Forty Day Covenant<\/a><\/td>\n\n

After the Golden Calf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nThe Lord said to Moses, \u201cGo up from here, you and the people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, \u2018I will give it to your descendants.\u2019<\/p>\n

Exodus 33:1 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u201cI am going to send an angel before you…<\/p>\n

Exodus 23:20a (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

I will send an angel before you…<\/p>\n

Exodus 33:2a (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…to protect you as you journey and to bring you into the place that I have prepared. \u00a0Take heed because of him, and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him. \u00a0But if you diligently obey him and do all that I command, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to your adversaries.<\/p>\n

Exodus 23:20b-22 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
For my angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them completely.<\/p>\n

Exodus 23:23 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\u2026and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.<\/p>\n

Exodus 33:2b (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nGo up to a land flowing with milk and honey.\u00a0 But I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, and I might destroy you on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exodus 33:3 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nWhen the people heard this troubling word they mourned; no one put on his ornaments. \u00a0For the Lord had said to Moses, \u201cTell the Israelites, \u2018You are a stiff-necked people. \u00a0If I went up among you for a moment, I might destroy you. \u00a0Now take off your ornaments, that I may know what I should do to you.\u2019\u201d \u00a0So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments by Mount Horeb.<\/p>\n

Exodus 33:4-6 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the angel\u2019s function\u2014to protect<\/em>\u2014and the warning\u2014Take heed<\/em>\u2014were both forms of sh\u00e2mar<\/a> <\/em>in Hebrew.\u00a0 The former (\u05dc\u05e9\u05de\u05e8\u05da) was translated \u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u1f71\u03be\u1fc3 (a form of \u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ac\u03c3\u03c3\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint<\/a>.\u00a0 If anyone hears my words but does not keep<\/a> <\/em>(\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u1f71\u03be\u1fc3, a form of \u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ac\u03c3\u03c3\u03c9) them, <\/em>Jesus said, I do not judge that person.\u00a0 For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world<\/em>.[2]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 The latter (\u05d4\u05e9\u05de\u05e8) was translated \u03c0\u03c1\u1f79\u03c3\u03b5\u03c7\u03b5 (a form of \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ad\u03c7\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint<\/a>.\u00a0 Until I come,<\/em> Paul wrote Timothy, give attention<\/em> (\u03c0\u03c1\u1f79\u03c3\u03b5\u03c7\u03b5, a form of \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ad\u03c7\u03c9) to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, to teaching<\/em>.[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

The Hebrew word translated obey <\/em>in obey his voice<\/em> was sh\u00e2ma\u02bd <\/em>(\u05d5\u05e9\u05de\u05e2<\/a>; See Table<\/a> below) which was translated \u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u1f71\u03ba\u03bf\u03c5\u03b5 (a form of \u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint. \u00a0But the angel said to him, \u201cDo not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard<\/em> (\u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u03b7\u03ba\u03bf\u1f7b\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7, another form of \u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>), and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you will name him John<\/em>.[4]<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0The Hebrew word translated rebel <\/em>in do not rebel<\/em> was m\u00e2rar <\/em>(\u05ea\u05de\u05e8<\/a>) which was translated \u1f00\u03c0\u03b5\u1f77\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9 (a form of \u1f00\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03b8\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint. \u00a0He who believes <\/em>(\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u1f7b\u03c9\u03bd, a form of \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>) in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe <\/em>(\u1f00\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03b8\u1ff6\u03bd, another form of \u1f00\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03b8\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>) the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him<\/em>.[5]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

And finally pardon <\/em>was n\u00e2\u015b\u00e2\u02bc <\/em>(\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\u05d0) in Hebrew which was translated \u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u1f77\u03bb\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1\u1f77 (a form of \u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03c9<\/a>) in the Septuagint.\u00a0 You know that I did not hold back<\/em> (\u1f51\u03c0\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03b9\u03bb\u1f71\u03bc\u03b7\u03bd, another form of \u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03c9<\/a>) from proclaiming to you anything that would be helpful<\/em>,[6]<\/sup><\/a> Paul declared to the Ephesian elders.\u00a0 But here the translators of the Septuagint took a different turn since they didn\u2019t even translate pesha\u02bd <\/em>(\u05dc\u05e4\u05e9\u05e2\u05db\u05dd<\/a>; transgressions<\/em>): \u201cFor he shall not hold you in undue awe, for my name is upon him.\u201d[7]<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0It makes me wonder if they were trying to put a better spin on for he will not pardon<\/em> (or, bear<\/em>) your transgressions<\/em> for Greek consumption.<\/p>\n

The clause detailing the angel\u2019s purpose\u2014to protect you as you journey<\/em>[8]<\/sup><\/a>\u2014was missing from the restatement of the covenant after the golden calf incident, yet for forty years in the wilderness ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>[9]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0cared and provided for them.\u00a0 So why don\u2019t I consider that all of the missing elements of the covenant should be assumed in the later restatement?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m no lawyer but I did spend several years calculating and writing the conditions that went into my employer\u2019s boilerplate contracts.\u00a0 It seems pretty apparent to me that when ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>did not destroy Israel<\/a> and make a great nation of Moses<\/a>, when He accepted Moses\u2019 description of that act as evil<\/a>, then both parties had abrogated the covenant and the contract became null and void.\u00a0 Care and provision for Israel became a matter of grace, no longer stipulated by contract, by law.<\/p>\n

What is clearly missing from the restatement of the covenant is the contractual language: But if you diligently obey him and do all that I command, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to your adversaries. \u00a0For my angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them completely<\/em>.[10]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 This was replaced by a simple unilateral statement: I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite<\/em>.[11]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

I hesitate to call this grace<\/em>\u00a0(though it may qualify as election<\/em>) since ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>called it dread (Deuteronomy 32:26, 27 Tanakh):<\/p>\n

I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men; Were it not that I dreaded (<\/em>g\u00fbr, \u05d0\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8<\/a>)<\/em> the enemy’s provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not HaShem hath wrought all this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Accepting that the clauses missing from the restatement of the covenant are truly missing helps me to track the transition<\/a> from [Sin] (cha\u1e6d\u1e6d\u00e2\u02bc\u00e2h<\/em>, \u05d7\u05d8\u05d0\u05ea<\/a>; Septuagint<\/a>: \u1f25\u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2, a form of \u1f01\u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9<\/a>) desires <\/em>(te<\/sup>sh\u00fbq\u00e2h<\/em>, \u05ea\u05e9\u05d5\u05e7\u05ea\u05d5<\/a>) to dominate you, but you must subdue<\/em> (m\u00e2shal<\/em>, \u05ea\u05de\u05e9\u05dc<\/a>) it<\/em>,[12]<\/sup><\/a> to Paul\u2019s declaration to believers in Galatia (Galatians 2:20, 21 NET):<\/p>\n

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. \u00a0So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. \u00a0I do not set aside God\u2019s grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who would have thought that the way to subdue <\/em>or rule over <\/em>sin was to die to it (Romans 6:8-11 NET)?<\/p>\n

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. \u00a0We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him. \u00a0For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. \u00a0So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who would have thought that the way to subdue <\/em>or rule over <\/em>sin was to die to the law (Romans 7:4-6 NET)?<\/p>\n

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. \u00a0For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. \u00a0But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Viewed from this perspective the worship of the golden calf and ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h\u2019s <\/em>restatement of the covenant follows the pattern of Paul\u2019s explanation to believers in Rome (Romans 5:20, 21 NET):<\/p>\n

Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why would anyone want transgression to increase?\u00a0 This is scandalous to the religious mind.\u00a0 But Jesus taught<\/a> a Pharisee<\/a> (Luke 7:40-47 NET):<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon, I have something to say to you.\u201d \u00a0He replied, \u201cSay it, Teacher.\u201d \u00a0\u201cA certain creditor had two debtors; one owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty. \u00a0When they could not pay, he canceled the debts of both. \u00a0Now which of them will love him more?\u201d \u00a0Simon answered, \u201cI suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.\u201d \u00a0Jesus said to him, \u201cYou have judged rightly.\u201d \u00a0Then, turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, \u201cDo you see this woman? \u00a0I entered your house. \u00a0You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. \u00a0You gave me no kiss of greeting, but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet. \u00a0You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfumed oil. \u00a0Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little loves little.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ultimately, this love from God Himself subdues and rules over sin (Romans 13:8-10 NET):<\/p>\n

Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. \u00a0For the commandments, \u201cDo not commit adultery<\/em><\/strong>, do not murder<\/strong>, do not steal<\/strong>, do not covet<\/strong>,<\/em>\u201d (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, \u201cLove your neighbor as yourself<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d \u00a0Love does no wrong to a neighbor. \u00a0Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus warned (Matthew 5:17-20 NET):<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not think that I have come to abolish (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u1fe6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9, a form of \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em> the law or the prophets. \u00a0I have not come to abolish (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u1fe6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9, a form of \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c9)<\/em> these things but to fulfill them. \u00a0I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place. \u00a0So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. \u00a0For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law and the Pharisees<\/a>, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After explaining that the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more<\/em>, Paul continued (Romans 6:1-4 NET):<\/p>\n

What shall we say then? \u00a0Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? \u00a0Absolutely not! \u00a0How can we who died to sin still live in it? \u00a0Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? \u00a0Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, believers can say with Paul: We have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer<\/em> we who live, but Christ lives in<\/em> us. \u00a0So the life<\/em> we now live in the body,<\/em> we live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved <\/em>us and gave himself for<\/em> us. \u00a0We do not set aside God\u2019s grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!<\/em><\/p>\n

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another. \u00a0But \u201cwhen the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared, he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing <\/em>(\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03c2 , a form of \u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03af\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>) of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior. \u00a0And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life<\/a>.\u201d<\/em>[13]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.\u00a0 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed<\/em>.[14]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 This is the salvation believers in Philippi were enjoined to continue working out<\/em> (Philippians 2:12-18 NET):<\/p>\n

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed (\u1f51\u03c0\u03b7\u03ba\u03bf\u1f7b\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5, a form of \u1f51\u03c0\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em>, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence, for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort \u2013 for the sake of his good pleasure \u2013 is God. \u00a0Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish though you live in a crooked and perverse society, in which you shine as lights in the world by holding on to the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. \u00a0But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you. \u00a0And in the same way you also should be glad and rejoice together with me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>[1]<\/sup> I used the second spelling (n\u00e2s\u00e2h<\/em>) offered in Strong\u2019s Concordance in the tables and in a previous essay<\/a>, which confused me when I linked to the Hebrew dictionary.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[2]<\/sup> John 12:47 (NIV)<\/p>\n

<\/a>[6]<\/sup> Acts 20:20a (NET)<\/p>\n

<\/a>[7]<\/sup> Exodus 23:21b (NETS<\/a>)\u00a0 The Tanakh reads: for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name is in him<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[8]<\/sup> I won\u2019t argue that the angel\u2019s purpose was to keep <\/em>believing Israelites within the covenant, though I considered it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[9]<\/sup> In these essays I\u2019ve used several names for the Hebrew \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4.\u00a0 Admittedly, I was being catty when I used Jehovah<\/a> to obliquely reference the undercurrent in religious thought that Jesus died to save us from an evil god<\/a>.\u00a0 I abandoned the name Yahweh for reasons akin to the genetic fallacy<\/a>: I learned Yahweh <\/em>from Nietzsche.\u00a0 He was not only an atheist but a philologist<\/a> as well.\u00a0 I settled on ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>because it was in Strong\u2019s Concordance<\/a>, the same source I’ve used for all the other Hebrew words addressed in these essays.\u00a0 Subsequently I\u2019ve come across an argument favoring Yahweh on YAHWEH\u2019S restoration ministry<\/a> online in an article titled \u201cThe Yehovah Deception: Reinventing a Misnomer<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>The most succinct form of their argument reads: \u201cAs confirmed by the Jewish Talmud, hundreds of years before the birth of Yahshua the Messiah the Jews stopped pronouncing the divine Name and began concealing it by reading the vowel points from Adonai into the Tetragrammaton. \u00a0The motivation behind this practice was not from irreverence but through a strong veneration for the Name. \u00a0They were afraid that if it were pronounced, someone might misuse or blaspheme the Name. \u00a0Part of this hesitation doubtless arose from their time in Babylon. \u00a0While their reasoning was admirable, it is against the clear teachings of Scripture.\u201d<\/p>\n

I find that argument plausible and discouraging.\u00a0 My own working hypothesis concerning the Masoretes<\/a> was that they were generally honorable when dealing with the words of Scripture but may have shaded the meaning of certain Hebrew words a bit to defend Jewish religion from Christian scholarship.\u00a0 As a working hypothesis it limited the search field to points of contention.\u00a0 The idea that they may be the heirs of those who deliberately corrupted the name of God with vowels from a different word offers no limit to the mischief they may have perpetrated on words of lesser importance.\u00a0 If true, a searchable list of Hebrew homographs is no mere convenience but an absolute necessity for Old Testament study.\u00a0 Creating such a list is well beyond my abilities.<\/p>\n

My only purpose in using ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>is to remind myself that Lord <\/em>is not the word used in Scripture.\u00a0 I was taught from the pulpit that it is disrespectful to call Jesus by name, that Paul called Him Lord<\/em>, though now I think that was Paul\u2019s way of designating Him ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>(Isaiah 45:18-23<\/a>; Romans 14:10-12<\/a>; Philippians 2:5-11<\/a>; John 5:22, 23<\/a>).\u00a0 So for the time being I\u2019ll continue using ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h <\/em>since I definitely don\u2019t believe the name of God is a magical incantation that must be pronounced correctly<\/a> for the magic to work.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[10]<\/sup> Exodus 23:22, 23 (NET)<\/p>\n

<\/a>[11]<\/sup> Exodus 33:2 (NET)<\/p>\n

<\/a>[12]<\/sup> Genesis 4:7b (NET)\u00a0 Here, the Tanakh presents the subduing of sin as a comforting possibility rather than an imperative: …and unto thee is its desire, but thou mayest rule over it<\/em> (Genesis 4:7b Tanakh<\/a>).\u00a0 The Septuagint comforted Cain that he would once again rule over Abel (if he offered the appropriate sacrifice): \u201cBe still, his recourse is to you, and you will rule over him\u201d (Genesis 4:7b NETS<\/a>).<\/p>\n
