John Calvin—Swiss Reformer, preaching Deuteronomy—observes that prosperity does something insidious. You stop remembering your own wretchedness. You feel exempted. No longer of the common sort. And that kills compassion entirely. You forget what others endure. Some respond by locating a minor inconvenience and suggesting the genuinely suffering simply replicate their heroism. Calvin would not have been impressed.

Calvin, preaching Deuteronomy, notes that Proverbs 22:2 commands rich and poor to meet together — proximity being the mechanism by which help actually reaches people. God, apparently, considered physical nearness load-bearing. Today we prefer charitable giving at arm’s length: a click, a transfer, no eye contact. Very efficient. Entirely missing the point Calvin was making, but very efficient.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I would love to know how De Wette's thesis of 1805 (that #Deuteronomy was composed for the Josianic reforms in the 7th C BCE) went from being a possibility to being academic orthodoxy.

Just saw #Deuteronomy 1:7 and 1:19-20 right after each other in someone's draft and man, that whole second part of verse 7 looks super sus.

#Deuteronomy 12 famously refers to a place YHWH will choose for his cult, which scholars often take as referring to Josiah's reforms (2 Kings 23). But in Deuteronomy the verbs are future tense (יבחר).

Or are they? SamP thinks otherwise.

All 21 times where the text refers to the place which God will choose (Deut 12:5, 11, 14, 18, 21, 26; 14:23-25; 15:20; 16:2, 6-7, 11, 15-16; 17:8, 10; 18:6; 26:2; 31:11), MT imperfect יבחר corresponds to SamP perfect בחר.

In Num 21:21, the Samaritan Pentateuch (SamP) has one of its long interpolations, taken from Deut 2:24-25. It is entirely normal for SamP to put material from #Deuteronomy in #Numbers, a harmonizing tendency not found in any of the other ancient witnesses. The same source explains why SamP reads "words of peace" (from Dt 2:26) late in the verse.

BUT the LXX *also* reads "words of peace" in Num 21:21. Could that phrase be original, accidentally omitted from MT?

I love seeing #Deuteronomy quoted in this context. Ironic that so many Christian Bible thumpers are so resistant to debt forgiveness, when it is literally in the book they claim to follow.

The Lord will protect you from all sickness, and you will not experience any of the terrible diseases that you knew in Egypt; instead he will inflict them on all those who hate you. Deuteronomy 7.15 NET.

A wonderful promise to the people of Israel preparing to enter the promised land. God’s people today have better promises.
