Psalm 22 (is my favourite and I recite it each day Mon to Fri) innocent. After Priestly writers, new writing comes - Wisdom literature. If not, what replaces Covenant? What is new in the new Convenent of Christ? Is something new? Yes. Babylonic . Priestly writers offer hope and rework moments, creation with Noah and Abraham.
What values trying to put forward:
Abrahamic Arch:
Genesis 12: Call/challenge, Promises, First speech of God to Abraham (land, descendants, and blessing of all people). Leave and go to unkown land. I will show you (task). Either accept challenge, wish, tripple promise.
PROMISE - (How do I know?) Promise of land and promise of descendants (a gift). The centre of the Berit Covenant is the promise (gift). Abraham didn’t ask for it, it is purely a gift. Double promise.
Genesis 22: Call, Challenge, Promise - tripple promise.
to be continued.
