The book of the Covenant:
Exo 24:7 BSB Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
So all the contents of Exodus chapters 20-23 amount to the Book of the Covenant. To be His people, these are the minimum statutes we must keep. There are more detailed laws later on how to keep these first few, but the Ten Commandments were just the opening act to this Covenant at Sinai.
The Hebrew text of Joshua 2:15 says Rahab let the spies down from her window with a rope because her house was built into the city wall, but the Septuagint just says she let them down from her window. Curious.
Since Rahab was using her roof as a place to dry flax, she probably had a rope/pulley system to lift the flax from the fields outside up to her roof. This is why she was able to lower the spies without help.
Check out the Torah Portion reading for this week!
Remember Cinderella? She’s a servant in her own home, oppressed by her adopted family, and unable to access her true identity as her father’s heir. We like that story because Cinderella finally steps into her noble identity and receives everything that has been kept from her. But it’s a fairy tale, right? Nothing like that could ever happen in real life.
Revis Daggett can tell you that this is no fairy tale for the multitudes of Hidden Jews, or Anusim, of the Americas. As a native of West Texas, she began to encounter clues about these children of Israel whose ancestors hid their identity and fled to the New World in search of refuge from the holocaust of the Spanish Inquisition. In this five-part interview, Revis shares her journey of discovery, not only of the Jewish ancestry of her Hispanic neighbors, but of her own Anusim identity.
Torah is a key component in this journey to discover our Hebraic roots. Contrary to what we may have heard, keeping Torah doesn’t bring us into legalistic bondage, but reorients us to the Law of Freedom. That’s the topic of discussion in the midrash by Barry Phillips and David Jones. As we hear in the music of Dylan White and Will Spires, this is a matter of trust that matures us into a reflection of our Creator.

Happy Monday everyone! The most difficult part of the week is over?
And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for YHWH your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
Joshua 2:11
The news of the Hebrews' slow trek across the desert must have been like a massive storm looming on the horizon to the Canaanites, divine destruction creeping closer year by year.

In Joshua 2:3-5, Rahab lied about the presence of the spies. God's Law forbids lying about someone. It doesn't necessarily forbid lying itself, especially when it is to save a life or confound God's enemies.
Rahab hid the spies under a pile of flax. Flax is used to make linen, which is used throughout Scripture as a metaphor of righteousness. This detail might have been included as a subtle nod to her righteous faith expressed in giving these men shelter. She acted in faith to save the two spies before making any requests of them. By the time she asked for their help, there was no turning back. Her life was already forfeit for defying the king of Jericho.
Rahab sacrificed her life, covered the Israelites in righteousness, sent them into the wilderness for three days, and then her life was metaphorically restored to her when Jericho fell. Hmm...

Good Morning Folks
I got bored of my profile pic and started playing with some selfies yesterday in the studio. Don’t know if I succeeded but Sarah got a laugh out of sending my different facial expressions to my mom. ?
No you don’t get to see them. Just the best one with my camera filters. ?

BUT it later became clear to me that all these writings weren't included in the Book of the Covenant.
Yes, they all have bearing, just like the New Testament, to explain what the Covenant laws are, but it isn't part of the Covenant agreement.
I now hold that Exodus 20-23 is the actual content that got read before the people and not most of the Old Testament.
