Using signs of the covenant, they endeavor to justify the Gods decisions and prove that the Hebrew God is better than other gods. Discuss the evidence the specific passages you used or references from The Bible and Its Influence which you used to support your claim EVIDENCE Question: How do signs of the covenant and remembrance help maintain Gods legitimacy as the divine ruler of the Israelites? The compilers view God as the rightful ruler because their God is a covenant-making and promise-abiding God. References to the covenant often leads to Gods acts of compassion and mercy. PASSAGE When Noah is trapped on the ark and surrounded by flood waters for forty days, the compiler writes, God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and all the domestic animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided (Gen. 8.1). EXPLANATION remembered: The key word, remembered, points to the notion that God is capable of memory. God remembering Noah is a powerful statement. Compare the effect of this verse to that of Gods decision to raise the flood. In a previous verse, God is given to say I have determined to make an end of all flesh (Gen. 7.13). The compilers are presenting a conflicting image of God: God is an all-powerful being. Who gets to survive and who doesntthese are all decided by God. On the other hand, God is still a being that remembers. The compilers set their God apart from other Gods by putting side-by-side two different understandings of the God. One is a shared understanding among the Israelites that the God is capable of great violence and destruction. The other is the idea that God is a being that still remembers (His creations). God remembering the covenant indicates that the God will not abandon the chosen Israelites. The compilers also use the words of other characters in the Hebrew Bible to refer to signs of the covenant in a way that improves the Gods image and makes the Hebrew God appear superior to other gods. PASSAGE When Aaron and the Israelites create a golden calf and anger God, Moses makes one request to God: Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deut. 9.27). EXPLANATION Once more, the compilers demonstrate that references to the covenant lead to an act of mercy from God. What makes the Hebrew God unique is that He takes action for His spoken words and promises. In the quote, Mosess attempts to pacify the God by using the same word as the compilers: Remember. However, there is a difference between Moses speaking and the God speaking. In this quote, God is being spoken to by a human (Moses certainly has a good relationship with God). What the compilers are doing is having Moses guide the God into acting on the memory of the covenant. Mosess command, Remember, is being proven to sway the Gods decisions. These people have angered the God; God can also be violent. However, because the God is a covenant-making and promise-abiding God, Mosess references to the covenant and to remembrance succeed in calling upon Gods mercy. The covenant and remembrance of the covenant are also utilized in the story of Abraham. PASSAGE Abraham persuades God to preserve the lives of ten good people in Sodom and Gomorrah by asking God, Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it (Gen. 18. 24)? Noah succeeds in persuading God when the God is given to reply, For the sake of ten I will not destroy it (Gen. 18.32). EXPLANATION The compilers perceive Abraham as someone who uses the Gods covenant to pull God into the realm of remembrance. Abrahams term, righteous, calls upon Gods memories of Noah, the first person to have walked with God (to walk with God means to worship God and find favor in [Gods eyes] (Gen. 7.8)); and of all the living things formed during the time of Creation. Gods memory is provoked when Abraham mentions the words, sweep and forgive. Sweep and forgive are direct references to Gods promise to Noah to never again destroy every living creature as [He has] done (Gen. 8.21). Thus, the compilers depict Abraham and Moses as characters who understand Gods dependence on memory and covenants. God is perceived as trying to establish a divine bond with His creations using these covenants. In a way, the covenants also serve as a tool of communication between God and the humans. Explain how the evidence and/or your review of the text expanded or clarified your understanding of the text My review of the text helped me to understand the different images of the Hebrew God (a covenant-making God that relies on the Gods spoken word) as perceived by the compilers. The Hebrew Bible contains some conflicting images, such as the Holy War. As I searched for some signs of the covenant for my paper, I understood that Id have to read for subject not object. The Gods actions mean to do good for the Israelites. The God is only fulfilling His part in the covenant. The Israelites have to do their part and follow the God. Share your conclusions The compilers treat the covenant as a force that restricts both the God and the Israelites. They use the idea of remembrance and repeated references of the covenant to differentiate Him from other gods: the difference may be that the Hebrew God is never able to forget His promises because, even if the Israelites dont mention the covenant in the narratives, the compilers do. The compilers wrap Gods image around memory; and, thus, build a stronger connection between the Israelites and God. REFERENCE The New Oxford Annotated Bible, Fourth Edition. Michael D. Coogan, ed.
