9/13 Reading (Deuteronomy 25-27; 1 Thessalonians 1)

Deuteronomy 25: We learn about corporal punishment, how to handle oxen when they are working, improper touching by a woman when she is defending her husband in a fight (her hand is to be cut off is she grabs the other manā€™s genitals), and honest business practices.

Deuteronomy 26: Chapter is about the ceremony the people are to do when they enter the promised land as well as a declaration that it is the end of the case laws.

Deuteronomy 27: The people are told how to set up whatā€™s called the stones of the instruction as well as an altar to God when the cross over the Jordan river into the promised land. We then see a list of 12 curses that the tribes have to agree to: construction of an idol, belittles father or mother, tampers with neighborā€™s property line, misleads a blind person, obstructs legal rights of immigrants, orphans, or widows, has sex with fatherā€™s wife, has sex with an animal, has sex with their sister, has sex with their mother-in-law, kills his neighbor in secret, accepts money to kill an innocent person, and doesnā€™t support the words of this instruction by carrying them out.

1 Thessalonians 1: I donā€™t have much to say here. I found it interesting that this book is considered the oldest one in the New Testament. Thatā€™s pretty cool. I find that I really want to learn more about Paul. As to this first chapter of this letter, I do wonder how the people felt reading it, especially the praise for them? For Paul to say to them: ā€œWe always give thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our prayers, constantly Ā³ remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christā€ (1 Thess. 1.2-3). That mustā€™ve felt good to read.
