Us Bible teachers like to remind people against taking individual verses out of their linguistic, literary, chapter, letter/book contexts and cultural context. Even we forget the apply that to certain books of the Bible, like Psalms (each is connected in order of appearance to tell a larger story), Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs. Here is a three-verse connection in the a chapter that makes the point of the chapter, context that makes the larger book'scontext point quite well. Questions 1: have you ever noticed that in several books of the Bible (and the Bible itself, there are patterns? 2: how does this chapter fit a pattern telling a larger story? 3. Compare with the overarching structure of Chapters 1, 15 and 31. Particularly, note the center verse of the book, 15:6 and the verses above and below. "The refining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] tries the hearts. A wicked doer gives heed to false lips; [and] a liar gives ear to a naughty tongue. Whoso mocks the poor reproaches his Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished."

The Jewish Marriage and Betrothal Ceremony provides the structure for both the Old and New Testaments. In this course, we will explore how New Testament authors skillfully incorporated these Old Testament themes into their writing by utilizing existing Jewish Midrashic techniques. In addition, we will examine the background and significant contributions of Ezra the Scribe, who played a pivotal role in preserving and compiling the books of Moses, the Prophets and the Writings (aka., The Old Testament). Through an examination of Midrashic hermeneutics, we will uncover the interpretive principles employed by ancient Jewish scribes, including the importance of community consensus in the interpretation of scripture. By the end of this course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding and overview of the Jewish Marriage Theology Thread woven through the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Jewish world during the time of the New Testament and its impact on the biblical text.
