    Since God had to list what to not do, there must have been some who were already disobeying God in that area. In Numbers 25:1-3, Israel participated in acts of sexual immorality with Moabite women and in the book of Jeremiah, when the Israelites turned away from God, they did what pleased them and that included prostituting themselves physically and spiritually. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a great example of immorality in Israel. Two angels came down to rescue Lot from that place. While they were staying with Lot the men from the town tried to break down the door so they could have sex with them.…

    The biblical book of 1 Samuel lays out the foundation of some of ancient Israelis most famous and influential kings, describing in detail the rise of king David, and the reign of his predecessor Saul. However, while presented as Israeli history, the tales of Samuel possess a clear bias in favor of King David, as the text attempts to exonerate him of any wrongdoing during his rise to king. 1 Samuel 25, a small excerpt from this larger kingship narrative, possesses important social and literal conflicts, as it broaches the notions of honor and shame, two principles of upmost importance in ancient Israeli society. The narrative tells of David’s positive challenge to a rich land owner, Nabal, requesting an offer of hospitality in exchange for his…

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.…
