    Hammurabi, the exalted prince, also feared God and obeyed his orders to bring righteousness to the land, destroy the evil in life, and further the well being of mankind (Hammurabi, 2). God’s orders were taken seriously amongst all humanity and obeyed immediately because of the natural destruction he could inflict upon them at any second. God was also known for caring for and taking care of the humans he created. As he was about to flood and eradicate all living life on Earth, Noah caught his attention and proved to him that the lives were worth saving. After surviving the flood, “ God said to Noah, ‘come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.…

This story is about a young man (David) who defeats a giant (Goliath) with a slingshot and a rock. The story describes a young man who exhibits strength, courage, and the ability to conquer regardless of your size. In the Late Antiquity there is a painting of Samuel Anointing David possibly created between 245-256 that was found in Dura-Europos, that is narrating the story of how this young man, David, became the chosen one to rule with strength, courage, and as a conqueror. The Samuel Anointing David is an excellent example of Late Antiquity Art.…

    This clash of perceptions, results in a story that is difficult for the modern audiences to interpret. While the literary context makes it evident that David will rise to king, and gain the upmost honor, social interpretations of the text provide us with a much different view of David. Applying both to 1 Samuel 25, the actions of Nabal can be interpreted in two distinctly different ways. The literary model portrays a foolish image of Nabal, while the social model provides a scenario in which his actions are entirely justified. This conflict highlights the importance of understanding that both viewpoints are generated from models which serve merely as methods to synthesize the text into a comprehensible form, and that neither model can actually portray the narrative in the way in which the original ancient Israeli audience did.…

    In the Old Testament, a theme that is widely reflected between people and God is obedience. The relationships found throughout Old Testament were based on people’s obedience towards God’s instruction; probably making it one of the most important relational aspect. According to International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, obedience is defined as, “the supreme test of faith in God and reverence for him” (Obedience). God uses many prominent people in the Old Testament who obey and listen to what he calls them to do. For this paper, I’ll be using the story of Abraham as an example of obedience and go more in details about how God used Abraham’s life because he was obedient.…

    The story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan can, like many of the other stories of the Hebrew Bible, can be explained as reflections of the religious, political, and societal beliefs of their composers and editors. As a historical piece, the account of Israel’s conquest of Canaan fails to match the current archeological understanding of the Canaanite settlements mentioned in The Book of Joshau. The inaccuracies fail to reflect an accurate historical model, but they suggest that the Book of Joshua is symbolic of its writers. The religious purpose of the story of the conquest of Canaan is to explain the geopolitical and geographical aspects of pre-exilic Israel whilst maintaining their belief that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God. The story highlights and explains several important facets of the Hebrew world at the time of the Book of Joshau’s inclusion in the biblical canon.…
