B. Dietary Regulations

“Animals are divided into categories of ‘clean’ and ‘unclean,’ indicating whether or not it is acceptable for the Israelites to eat them.  A creature may be ‘unclean’ because it has unsanitary contact with that which is putrefied; because it is associated with objectionable living habits; because it is unhealthful for human consumption; or perhaps because it is a creature typically used in pagan worship.  The eating of blood is particularly prohibited because blood represents all life, and because it is used to seek atonement for sin.”

V. Marriage, Divorce, and Sexual Relations
A. Marriage

“Modern notions of proper marriage relations do not necessarily reflect the custom and laws of the Israelites.  Most noticeable is the tacitly permitted practice of polygamy in the ancient law.  In centuries to come most societies, both religious and secular, will generally disapprove of the practice.

The marriage relationship is assumed to be permanent in nature and necessary for the establishment of certain rights and for the legitimacy of sexual relations (and for having offspring therefrom.)”

MARRYING A CAPTIVE WOMAN   Deuteronomy 21:10-14

FIRST-YEAR FREEDOM   Deuteronomy 24:5

IF VIRGINITY DOUBTED   Deuteronomy 22:13-21

B. Divorce

“The Israelites are taught the seriousness and finality of a dissolved marriage.  Later Scripture indicates that any ease of divorce under the Laws of Moses may be merely a concession on God’s part at this time.”

FINALITY OF DIVORCE   Deuteronomy 24:1-4

C. Sexual Violations
1. Introduction

CONTRAST WITH PAGANS   Leviticus  18:1-5

2. Adultry

“At the heart of the marriage relationship is the idea of faithfulness to the vows of commitment.  Faithfulness is important both in marriage ind in the people’s relationship with God.  Their unfaithfulness to God is considered spiritual adultery.  Breach of the marriage vow by sexual relations with a person other than one’s spouse is so serious that it is prohibited by one of the ten basic commandments.”

ADULTERY PROHIBITED  Deuteronomy 5:18

LAW AGAINST ADULTERY   Leviticus 18:20

PENALTY FOR ADULTERY   Leviticus 20:10/Deuteronomy 22:22

TEST OF ADULTERY   Numbers 5:11-31

3. Fornication

“Sexual relations between unmarried persons may result in certain adverse consequences.  As noted previously, the woman’s lack of virginity at the time of marriage can subject her to punishment.”  (See Deuteronomy 22:13-21)

4. Prostitution

“Prohibition of sexual relations given in exchange for money concerns not only the unapproved sexual activity itself, but also forbidden participation in pagan cult worship, in which prostitution by both men and women is commonplace.”

EVIL OF PROSTITUTION   Leviticus 19:29

NO CULT PROSTITUTION   Deuteronomy 23:17,18

5. Incest

“Sexual activity between blood relatives and other near relatives is prohibited.  This is therefore the formal end of the early period during which extremely close relatives married each other, presumably for more rapid propagation of the human family.”

III. Laws of Special Crimes

“In the theocracy of Israel, there are many offenses punishable by death which do not fall within traditional crime categories, and offenses which fall within traditional crime categories which are not punishable by death.  There is no punishment by imprisonment at all.  Theft, for example, is punished by a form of fine and restitution.  (Therefore the special crimes category set forth below is arbitrarily based upon more traditional classifications of offenses.)

II. Laws of Government

“In a theocracy, there is a minimum of legislative or administrative function.  The ruler is God, and it is he who determines the nation’s laws, as well as the people’s direction — politically, militarily, and economically.

2. Festival of Weeks (Harvest or Firstfruits)     3rd Month, 6th Day  (May-June)

“the second major festival takes place seven weeks following the Festival of Unleavened Bread.  Hence the name by which it is presently called, the Festival of Weeks, and the name by which it will one day be called, Pentecost (meaning 50).  Although closely associated with a time of agricultural harvest, it foreshadows various spiritual “firstfruits” in which believers in God will be “harvested.”

“Shortly before the third major festival, the Israelites are to celebrate one of less significance, known as the Festival of Trumpets.  It takes place on the first day of the seventh month according to the religious calendar.  And because that month is the first month on the civil calendar, it is a new year’s celebration as well, modernly called Rosh Hashanah.”

FESTIVAL AND OFFERINGS   Leviticus 23:23-25/Numbers 29:1-6

4. Day of Atonement    7th Month, 10th Day  (September-October)

“God called for an annual Day of Atonement, just before the Festival of Tabernacles or Ingathering.  The Day of Atonement was established when Aaron was the high priest, but will continue until even modern times, in which it is celebrated as Yom Kippur.  It is the only day upon which the Israelites are commanded to fast.  Its great significance lies in the confession of sins and the sending out of the scapegoat for atonement.”
