Study Notes
The Structure of the Torah
- The traditional five-view approach to the Torah is still followed by many who focus on promise fulfillment.
- The Torah has two basic divisions: Genesis 1-11, which shows the need for Abraham, and Genesis 12-Deuteronomy 34, which is the outworking of the promise to Abraham.
Kleine's Consistent Approach
- Kleine's approach is consistent, with the central passage being Genesis 12:1-3.
- The first 11 chapters of Genesis lead up to Genesis 12:1-3, laying the foundation for the promise to Abraham.
- Everything that comes after Genesis 12:4 is an outworking of what is in Genesis 12:1-3.
The Outworking of the Promise
- The giving of the seed (descendants) and the land is worked out in Genesis 12-50.
- By the end of Genesis, we have a knowledge of who the seed is.
- Deuteronomy 4 echoes the promise, with a calamity leading to repentance, seeking the Lord, and the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant.
Literary Style
- The literary style of the Torah is narrative followed by poetry with an epilogue where there is death.
- The hope is at the end of the days, not in the immediacy, which is only death.
The Five Books of the Torah
- Genesis is the narrative of the fathers of Israel, introducing the nation of Israel.
- Exodus 1-Leviticus 27 establishes a relationship between God and Israel through the law, after redemption and deliverance from Pharaoh.
- Numbers 1-Deuteronomy 34 anticipates going into the land, with Israel preparing for war and taking the land.
Alternative Approaches
- Merrill's approach has a threefold division, leading to Israel in Exodus 1-Deuteronomy 34.
- Merrill's structure includes primeval history, patriarchal history, and the history of Israel.
