ENG 330: Literature of the Bible, Melvin J. Hoffman, Spring 2008. 

1:00	Bible Versions either Required for Course or Recommended for Comparison

1.10	Students must use one of 3 versions below. To compare, students are 
invited, not required, to use versions under 1.20, 1.40, or 1.30--as well as-
but NOT INSTEAD OF 1 of the 3 versions below:

Assignments and Questions are Keyed to these 3 Versions Only:

The Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha*     (RSV) 
The New Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha* (NSRV)
The Revised English Bible with Apocrypha*        (REB)

1.11	questions are based on & keyed to only these 3 versions, i.e. questions 
assume these 3 versions' verse numbers, person & place names, translation 
choices, etc. & the presence of all books discussed (Assignment I. is an exception 
as I provide an old public-domain version in the syllabus.)

1.12	If you answer incorrectly because you are not using an approved version, 
the error will be considered an error in following instructions and will still 
count against you. Put another way, statements such as " My version does not 
have that book.", "My version does not use that name.", or "My version has 
different verse numberings." will not be considered valid excuses.

1.20	The next 3 versions lack only 3 books of the Vulgate, 2 of which have 
course- assigned portions; otherwise, these fine versions would have been added 
to the 3 versions in section 1.10.

The Jerusalem Bible (JB), The New American Bible (NAB), The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB).

1.30	These versions, which have editions both with and without the 
Apocrypha, are fine translations but are inconvenient for this course.

The New English Bible (NEB) makes identification of individual  verses difficult or 
impossible for reference purposes.

The Good News Bible/Today's English Version (TEV) regularizes different names for 
people and objects to one; and--in many places--adds non-original interpretive words 
for clarity. (Note: all versions augment, but this version's rampant use makes it 
problematic for the course.)

1.40	These excellent versions are excluded only for lack of books. The 1st. two 
lack editions with an Apocrypha*; the last lacks both Apocrypha* & Greek Christian 
(New Testament) Scriptures.

The New American Standard Version (ASV)		
The New International Version (NIV)
The Tanakh (TNK), JPS 1984 [Hardcover Only]

1.50	Using Versions (below) is discouraged either/both as many words in them have 
altered/lost original English meanings and/or as their translators lacked recent 
archaeological & textual evidence.

The King James Version (KJV)	
The Douay-Rheims Version of the Vulgate (D-R) 
The Holy Scriptures [1917] (THS)

1.60	Reference Sources:

Examples are on the Syllabus' last 2 Pages. Students should know library, or other 
sites, for Biblical Atlases & Dictionaries, Commentaries, Concordances, Sources, & 
Theological Dictionaries.

2:00	Terms and Texts:

2.11	Terms for Scriptures

Many scripture terms depend on denomination,e.g. "Old Testament," is "old" for 
Christians, but not Jews. Consequently, for objectivity, scripture terms used by 
the instructor in class & in syllabi combine the original intended audience's 
religion with the language in which they are written. ( Those with NRSV cf. pp. 
vi.  vii.)

2.12	Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures:

The earliest literature is termed Jewish Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures. They 
are canonical for the most familiar Jewish groups and for all Christians of whom 
I am aware. Some Jews use a Hebrew acronym, TaNaKh, for this literature. It 
forms the entire Old Testament for Protestants and Part of the Old Testament 
for Roman, Orthodox, and Oriental Catholic churches.

2.13	The Aramaic Portion:

Aramaic/Chaldee/Syriac words & influences occur in some Psalms, Ezekiel, Esther, 
Job, Jonah, Songs & elsewhere, but certain examples are: 2 letters in Ezra, 
4.8-6.18 & 7.12-26; one narrative in & about Daniel, 2.4b-7.28; 1 verse in 
Jeremiah, 10.11; &  2 words in Genesis, 31.47.

2.14	Jewish Greek Scriptures:

Books--for Protestants, Apocryphal, & for Roman Catholics (3 books excepted) 
Deutero-Canonical --are called "Jewish Greek Scriptures" in this course. No 
Jewish group put them in the canon. They occur in 2 text families: Western & 
Eastern. The Latin Vulgate/Biblia Sacra has a Western book whose original 
Greek is lost: 2nd/4th Esdras. Eastern texts have the Western list minus 
2nd/4th Esdras plus the Psalms of Solomon, the Odes, the 151st. Psalm and 
3rd & 4th Maccabees. Protestants term them Apocryphal books, or term the 
whole Western Text: the Apocrypha. Roman Catholics put the Western books 
in a "2nd.” recognized canon, Duetero”-canonical, with 3 exceptions: 1st/3rd 
Esdras, 2nd/4th Esdras & the Prayer of Manasseh, appended in Latin, but not, 
vernacular versions. Greek Orthodoxy puts the Eastern Text in the canon 
except the Psalms of Solomon & the Odes, but appends 4th Maccabees. Russian 
Orthodoxy puts the Eastern Text in the canon except the Psalms of Solomon, 
the Odes & 4th Maccabees. 

2.15	Christian Greek Scriptures:

Not canonical for Jews, They are canonical for almost all Christians. An 
exception is the Syrian Orthodox Church which excludes 2nd  and 3rd  John, 
2nd  Peter, Jude and Revelations.

2.16	Textual Terms:

Global terms like "Western" and "Eastern" texts simplify complex circumstances 
with mixes of and alternatives among, original sources'; various versions reflect-
ing original-language sources, preserved in other ancient languages; and scho-
larly standardized, annotated, & edited texts and/or reconstructions of original 
sources--topics, too narrow & specialized for this course's general scope.

2.17	Uses of Non-Canonical Scriptures:

Besides mandatory or optional inclusion in appendices, various denominations 
have non-canonical scripture uses. For example, Anglicans use Apocryphal works 
in Lectionaries and in Liturgy. Likewise, the Orthodox use Odes in Liturgy.

3.10	Methods:

There are no tests or term papers but 13 multiple-choice tests of 22 questions, & 
a 14th. multiple-choice test of 44 questions as a final. Students may use class & 
reading notes & books during tests. Sharing notes or conversation is not allowed.  
(You get questions ahead of time in this syllabus; multiple-choice answer sheets 
only are handed out on the day of the test.) Lectures do not teach texts but 
provide background for "literary" interpretation of  texts.

3.20	Final Grade Determination:

The total raw score possible is 330 pts. (13 x 22 = 286)+(1 x 44 = 44). From the 13, 
not 14th. tests, the lowest 4 drop for an adjusted score: 242 points (9 x 22 = 198)
+(1 x 44). The adjusted score x 3/7, fractions rounded off, gives a semi-final maxi-
mum possible score: 104 from which each class-hour absence over 6 causes a 1 point 
deduction. (see below.) I decide student grades from final scores curved against all 
others in the course. Where no natural gaps occur, typical attendance & participation
--of any student group sharing a point total--affect boundary decisions.

3.30    Attendance Policy:                                          TOP

Attendance starts after adjustment day. I deduct 1 point for each class-hour absence 
above 6. (See Table Below) EXCUSED & UNEXCUSED ABSENCES ARE NOT DISTINGUISHED. Though 
absences may not be your fault, innocence does not equal attendance. 6 class-hour 
absences are allowed to cover advisement, registration and work conflicts; court ap-
pearances; family crises; field & team-away trips; funerals; illnesses; jury military 
duty; religious holidays, vehicular failure,  weather delays etc. 6 class-hour ab-
sences are more than 10% of the semester's meetings. 

After add day, I pass out an attendance sheet at the start (and sometimes, without 
prior notice, at the end) of class. Prenotified departures, may, or may not, result 
in deductions--depending upon time lost. Unannounced departures (leaving class early 
without telling me in advance) receive penalties listed in the description below.

Number of Unpenalized Absences:                                 6
Points lost for each absence beyond the above:                  1
Unannounced Departure Penalty:                                  2/3
(Final  Scores  with  Fractions  will  be  Rounded  off.)

3.40	Test Limitations:

No late or make-up test may be taken after discussing test answers in class. Therefore, 
if students know that they will be absent in advance, they should arrange to take the 
test earlier.

3.50	Student Awareness of Progress:                                                       

Students may ask to see their scores. This may occur--if time permits--just before or 
after class, or during my regularly scheduled office hour. I will recite them softly, 
write them, or cover all scores but the inquirer's. Student privacy laws prevent 
students seeing scores besides their own.

6.00	Miscellaneous Notes:

6.10	Numbering of Chapters and Verses:

Letter abbreviations refer to books

Numbers before periods refer either to book chapters or to specific numbers in 
     	serially numbered collections like the Psalms or Proverbs.

Numbers after a period refer to the verse(s).

Small-case letters following verse numbers refer to analytical  subdivisions 
	of verses made by your instructor or others which will not be found in 
	any of your versions.

6.20	Explanation of the "Most Correct Answer":

"Most correct" means the answer best characterizing the common theme, 
concern, person, role, institution etc. among a set of verses, not what 
is most frequent among a question's verses.

6.30	Course Objectives:

Students will learn about the Bible from the standpoint of a literary anthology.
Students will learn basic historical, literary, cultural, linguistic and other 
	contexts as background for Biblical study.
Students will learn how varied the literatures that make up the  Bible are in 
	terms of genres, styles, themes and authors.

6.40	Behavior:

Behavior conveying disrespect or rudeness toward anyone based on age, race, 
religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or 
marital, veteran or socioeconomic status as well as other behavior-in the 
instructor's opinion-disruptive to the educational process may result in the 
instructor's having such a student removed from the classroom and in charges 
brought against such a student pursuant to Buffalo State College's Procedure 
Regarding Disruptive Individuals.

6.50	Consideration of Disability

If you have or suspect that you have a disability 
that requires any kind of accommodation to fulfill 
this course's requirements, please contact the Of-
fice of Special Services for Students with Disa-
bilities at 878-4500.

7.00	The Assignments:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.01	Assignment One: INFANCY NARRATIVE LITERATURE:

Questions 1-22 have one question with 22 different answers: "The same row's 
verses all share what common factor?" To simplify your work, I have excerpted 
from the 1901 American Standard Version (an old public-domain version) so you 
don't have to look up verses. At first, this chart's format looks difficult, 
but eases with practice. Excerpts largely cite the original; minor editing 
corrects or shortens text, or treats a religious sensibility (e.g. replacing 
vocalized Tetragrammatons with "the Lord.") The 2nd.-19th. assignments have 
no excerpts provided; you are on your own then.

Experts differ on Infancy-Narrative definition and schema. The next page's 
schema is a, not the, system. Comparative-religion experts may go beyond 
"Biblical" and compare with other scriptures' early lives of Manu, Zoroaster
/Zarathustra, Gotuma Buddha/Siddartha etc. (Even within Biblical infancy-
narrative study, people differ on legitimacy of using narratives from the 
Jewish Midrash, the Pseudepigrapha, or Christian [New Testament] Apocrypha etc.)

1 Samuel 2.1a-10 (Samuel)

My heart exulteth in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord; My mouth is 
enlarged over mine enemies; Because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none 
holy as the Lord; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock 
like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out 
of your mouth; For the Lord is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are 
weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken; And they that stumbled are 
girded with strength. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; 
And they that were hungry have ceased to hunger: Yea, the barren hath borne 
seven; And she  that hath many children languisheth. The Lord killeth, and 
maketh alive: He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. The Lord maketh 
poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up. He raiseth up 
the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make 
them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of 
the earth are the Lord's,  And he hath set the world upon them. He will 
keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in 
darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail. They that strive with the 
Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them will he thunder in heaven: the 
Lord will judge the ends of the earth; And he will give strength unto his 
king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.

Luke 1.68-75 (John)

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought 
redemption for his people, And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us 
In the house of his servant David  (As he spake  by the mouth of his holy 
prophets that have been from of old), Salvation from our enemies, and 
from the hand of all that hate us; To show mercy towards, our fathers, And 
to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he spake unto Abraham our 
father, To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our 
enemies Should serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness 
before him all our days.

Luke 1.46-55 (Jesus)

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced 
in God my Savior. For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: 
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he 
that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name. And his 
mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him. He hath 
showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud  in the 
imagination of their heart. He hath put down princes from their thrones, 
And hath exalted them of low degree. The hungry he hath filled with good 
things; And the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath given help to Israel 
his servant, That he might remember mercy (As he spake unto our fathers) 
Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.

And the glory of thy people Israel. ... Behold, this child is set

In the Jewish Greek texts, hence in R.C. editions, Susannah is the 13th.--and Bel 
and the Dragon, the 14th. chapter of Daniel. They do not occur in the Jewish or 
Protestant canons. Limit answers for questions 12-15 to  protagonists in the 
preceding verses.

12.	What hero of three narratives, important in a fourth, is also an exemplar 
	of which of two other literatures that you have studied. (Two part 
	question: who & which?)

13.	Name another protagonist, patriarchal, who is such an exemplar.

14.	Both heroes have a gift which most of us do not have--what?

15.	Three protagonists are heroes, generically,  not technically--
	who are they?

Though millennia old, the narratives still deal with people like ourselves. 
Themes such as sex, violence, envy, and political power are still foci for 
entertainment and news in  popular media. The questions which follow depend 
on such aspects of heroic narratives. Some of the books and/or 
their contents provide answers to more than one question.

16.	Which narrative has the Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, Monk, Hercule 
	Poirot genre? 

17.	Which narrative uses JAG, the Practice, and Law & Order's Jack McCoy 
	type talents?

18.	Which narrative has sibling rivalry, a woman scorned, false arrest 
	and imprisonment? 

19.	Which single individual, not group, is guilty of professional jealousy 
	& anti-semitism?

20.	Which narrative is concerned with genocide?

21.	Which narrative mostly concerns sexual harassment? 

22.	What narrative depicts a group of people guilty of professional 
	jealousy and religious intolerance?

7.04	Assignment Four:: LITERATURE OF THEOPHANY.

The LITERATURE OF THEOPHANY, from Jewish Hebrew/Aramaic Scriptures, includes 
"Latter" & "Minor," not "Former," Prophets, and excludes all "Writings" but Psalms, 
Job & Chronicles. Fifteen books, within examination limits prescribed, record 
events in the Jewish Hebrew/Aramaic Scriptures--classifiable as theophanies.

Torah:                  Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Former Prophets:        Joshua, Judges, 1st & 2nd Samuel, 1st. & 2nd. Kings.
Writings:               Job, Psalms, 1st & 2nd. Chronicles et al.

(This literature is organized following a Jewish grouping of scripture; other 
groupings occur later.) Unlike prior assignments, verses are not grouped for you. 
Rather, verses follow assigned versions' order of books--with upper-case letter 
appended. Note: these categories do not reflect consensus. A broad Theophany 
definition is used. Some authorities would exclude some items listed here. 
Others might lump categories, distinct here, into fewer types. You need not 
accept or agree with the categories, merely identify and characterize them.

Questions one to thirteen require thirteen different answers to a single 
question: what do all verses, which share a single upper-case letter, have 
in common? Focus should be on the type of manifestation, not on the message 
of the communication.

1. A, 2. B, 3. C, 4. D, 5. E,  6. F, 7. G, 8. H, 9. I, 10. J, 11. K, 12. L, 13. M.

Questions 14-22 generalize or lump various theophanies to explore generalities 
and tendencies.

14.	Characterize theophanies' general tendency in the Torah/Pentateuch & Joshua

15.	Characterize the general tendency of theophanies in the history pairs: 
	Samuels, Kings and Chronicles.

16.	Characterize the common factor in Genesis 32.30, 35.15; Exodus 24.9-11; 
	Numbers 12.8; and Deuteronomy 34.10.

17.	Characterize the common factor in verses Exodus 19.21, 33.18-23, 40.35;
	Judges 6.22;  and 2nd. Chronicles 7.2

18.	With questions 14 through 17 in mind, describe the overall tendency of 
	change in theophanies from the earlier to the later books. (Note: 
	"God said to ... ")

19.	The Pentateuch/Torah has many selections stating "God spoke to Moses 
	and Aaron." What reasons exist for wondering whether or how often God 
	spoke to Aaron directly?

20.	In Joshua, many verses have "the Lord said to Joshua." Why do some 
	then deny any direct physical manifestations of God to Joshua?

21.	Who is the first person mentioned as having prophetic power in the 
	Pentateuch / Torah at the time of Moses besides Moses himself?

22.	Who was the first person whom the Torah / Pentateuch records as 
	replying to the Lord during a theophany?

The following list of theophanies is divided into 15 sections, 
one for each book which contains the theophanies being studied.

The entries include, 	
first, the name of the person addressed;  
second, the chapters and verses of the book; and, 
third, the capital letter assigned to the particular kind of theophany.

7.05	Assignment Five  MIRACLE/SIGN LITERATURE
	
Questions 1-21 focus on what common factors verses marked with the same capital 
letter. (F is in two lists distinguished by subscripts.) Questions are not in 
alphabetical order, so be careful

1.   P,     2.  Q,     3.  T,     4.  I,     5.  K,     6.  R,     7.  B,  
8.   C,     9.  D,    10.  J,    11.  L,    12.  A,    13. F2,    14.  G,  
15.  H,    16.  O,    17.  S,    18.  E,    19.  F1,   20.  M,    21.  N.

22	This question asks you to figure out why the letters are out of order.

i.	Books listed with the same sign letter are in parallel.
ii.	Distant parallels are enclosed in parentheses.	
iii.	Parallel situations which do not include a corresponding sign are enclosed 
	in slashes.
iv.	Numbers following letters distinguish specific signs but do not concern 
	your answers except F's subscripts.

	ruler over all of Israel?

2.	Who became king/ruler over Israel when Saul died? 
	(Read carefully & thoroughly.)

3.	What woman ruled as queen in Israel or Judah (with no king on 
	the throne) while she was neither chief wife, concubine, mother,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROPHECY, in common use, predicts the future. Believers insist that God must 
inspire a prediction--to distinguish it from fortune telling. The narrower and 
more technically restricted terms, STRICT PROPHETIC, APOCALYPTIC & ESCHATOLOGICAL 
Literature are used in this section.

STRICT PROPHECY         In good times, warning of future bad times, 
                        if people don't repent.
APOCALYPTIC LIT.        In bad times, promising future good times, 
                        if people repent.
ESCHATOLOGICAL LIT.     Often found with APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE--End Times, 
                        Final Judgments, Diaspora Returns, Peaceable Kingdom, 
                        Evil ended.

7.13	Assignment 13: LYRIC LITERATURE

	Many selections here suggest genres other than songs, e.g., blessings, 
prayers, oracles  etc. However, anthems, canticles, graduals, hymns, introits, 
offertories, orisons, prefaces, processionals, recessionals etc. are songs which 
serve other functions. Some hymns, e.g., are originally Biblical prose adapted 
for musical settings. Anglican plain chant, Gregorian chant, Russian choral 
chant etc. put any prose texts  into musical format.

	There is no consensus that all selections to follow are songs, yet each 
one must have song-like or lyric qualities; otherwise, no scholar would have 
claimed it as a "song." As such judgments are very subjective, some authorities 
use the term Lyric Literature to embrace both songs & song-like or lyric prose 
for such material.

	Dual classifications exist. Wisdom Psalms are Wisdom in content, Lyric 
in form. Some canticles in Luke are Infancy-Narrative in content but Lyric in 
form. Other literature can also have dual classification. Job's dialogues could 
have triple classification: in content, Wisdom , in organization, Dramatic; 
but, in form, Poetic.

Question 16.

Compare  Ps.  14. 1- 7   with   Ps.  53. 1 - 6,
Compare  Ps.  18. 2-50   with   2Sm. 22. 2b-51,

Compare  Ps. 105. 1-15   with   1Ch. 16. 8 -22

16. 	 Why? 

17.	Ecclesiastes 3.1-10.  In the mid-sixties, a group--the Byrds--based a 
	folk song on these vv. The title had "Turn, Turn" in it. Of what do 
	these words remind us? (Use verses 2.25 & 3.10-11 to help you interpret.)

18.	2.10b-13, 1.12-14, 5.2-6, 7.1-9. Song of Song vv. in chapter 2 are often 
	cited, so I include them, but the question concerns the other verses. 
	Why might some rabbis at Jabneh/ Jamnia not have accepted "The Lord and 
	his people" allegory?

19.	Isa. 12.2-6, 55.6-11. If you had not known that the two portions were 
	from Isaiah, from what book might you have identified them, both in 
	content and form?

20.	Prayer of Manasseh. If you had to name the literature to which this 
	belongs--in content, not form, what would be than name?

21.	1Sm.  2. 1a-10, Luke  1.68 -79, 1.46-55,Gen. 16.12, Luke  1.76 -79, 
	2.29-32, 3.4b-6 & 18-19 are not PROPHETIC LITERATURE in the technical 
	use of the term except possibly Gen. 16.12. They are LYRIC LITERATURE 
	in form. What are they in content?

22.	How can vv. Rev. 4.11, 5. 9b-10, 12b & 13b. be a song if they 
	are so divided?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.14	Assignment 14: FIRST FRUITS,HUMAN SACRIFICES and HOLY WAR.

Gen. 22.1-13 (first-born son  of his wife); Exd. 12.11-13 & 29 (3); 13.13b-15; 
22.29b-30; 23.16 & 19; 34.19-20; Lev. 23.10-11; 27: 26-29; Num. 15.20-21; 18.12-17; 
Deu. 14.23; 15.19-21 (1); 18.4 (2); 21.15-17 (4); 26.1-4 & 10; Pro. 3.9-10; 
Neh. 10.35-37.

 1.	What 3 kinds of 1st. fruit offerings, required by God, are most frequently 
	mentioned.

 2.	(1) What two reasons prevent first fruits from being offered? 

 3.	(2) What two kinds of first fruits are to be ransomed?

 4.	What happens to the first fruits which are not ransomed?

 5.	From what then do many authorities conclude that human first fruits 
	are ransomed? (Compare Gen. 22.1-13 and Lev. 27.28-29)

 6.	(3) However, our attention is drawn away from this possibility, and 
	a different association with first fruits is made--what is it?

 7.	(4) How are human first fruits exalted?

 8.	The first born among humans which the verses discuss are not necessarily 
	the actual first born technically. Which first-born humans are not taken 
	into consideration?

 9.	Regarding human first fruits, the Israelites' Canaanite neighbors are 
	more consistent, in a way not permitted to Jews--how? (The information 
	is not explicit in the vv. provided; you will have to deduce the answer. 
	Hint: review question five.)

10.	How do we know that the Egyptians did not follow the Caananite custom 
	of offering first fruits? (Hint: review question six.)

11.	For this question, quickly review Samuel, Samson & John the Baptist 
	in the Infancy narratives. How are they a compromise between being 
	"devoted to" and "ransomed from" God?

12.	Jesus/Jeshua, Mary's/Miriam's "first-born" son's death has allusions from 
	studying 1st. fruits--both too many to address here & too delicate, due to 
	diverse faith understandings, to treat directly in a constitutionally 
	non-sectarian public forum. Metaphorically, then, the "sacrifice" & "draining 
	of blood" from the spear wound allude to pagan Canaanite practice, how? 
	How do they compromise between being "devoted to" & "ransomed from" God?

13.	Read Lev. 18.21 and 2Kgs. 3.27 & 16.3. Who normally burned children as 
	sacrifices?

14.	Read Exd. 13.2 and 22.29-30. What do these verses hint at?

15.	Read Gen. 22.1-19. Why might Abraham not have complained of God's order? 
	(Do not consider faith or obedience.)

16.	Read Deu. 18.9-14 (particularly 10) & Isa. 57.5 to determine God's law about 
	child sacrifice?

17.	Read Exd. 13.13-15 & 34.20 and Num. 18.15, and determine what compromise God 
	provides between Canaanite "typical practice" and his "new" law.

18.	Considering the answers to questions 15-17, the changing focus shows what 
	development?

19.	Read Jdg. 11.29-40; 1Kg. 16.34; 2Kg. 16.3, 17.17, 21.6, 23.10; Jer 7.31, 
	15.5, 32.35; and Mic. 6.7. What sad fact do these record?

20.	Why are vv. in Jsh. 6.21 and 1Sm. 15.18 & 33 associated with offerings/
	sacrifices?

21.	How do vv. in Jsh. 7.10-26 (mainly 15); Jdg. 8.18-21; & 2Sm. 21.1-9 
	associate with offerings/sacrifices?

22.	How else might these deaths be understood?

Human sacrifice requires some knowledge of sacrificial offerings. Before the exam., 
find such offerings defined in Bible references, make notes, then match to exam 
choices. (Questions 23-31)

23.	Holocaust  'oola- / kaali-l			

24.	Communion Sacrifice  zebah- / sh:laami-m=

25.	Sacrifice of praise / thanksgiving toodha-

26.	Freewill / Voluntary Offering  n:dhaaba-	

27.	Votive Offering  neder

30.	Showbread / Bread of Presence leh-em= happaani- m =/ hamma'a:reketh

31.	Incense/Perfume Offering  q:t-ooreth

Characterize the vv. in

32.	Exd. 15.3;Num. 10.35; Isa. 59.17; and Eph. 6.10-17.

33.	2Sm. 22.29-43				

34.	Num.33. 50-53 and Deu. 2.31-3.22.

35.	Pss. 18; 20.6-9; 68.1-3 & 28-31; 98.1-3; 118.5-14; 124; 144.1-4; 
	Mic. 4.11-13; & 1Mc. 3.42-53.
