Dear List Members,
I am interested in your opinions on Deut 32:7-9. I have provided a summary of my view on it to get things going. Thank you. Lloyd Barre Think back to the older days, think over the years, down the ages. Ask of your father, let him teach you; of your elders, let them enlighten you: When Elyon gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided the sons of men, he fixed their bounds according to the number of the sons of El, Yahweh's portion is his people, Jacob his inheritance. The introduction begins with the statement that a student may learn of an ancient event, the knowledge of which first came to his grandfather's generation. The event was an executive decision by El who assigned his divine "sons" to rule over various peoples. Here Yahweh is made the preeminent "son of El" who has been assigned the people of Jacob. This theological scheme is illustrated in the following diagram: El | Sons of El | Chemosh Dagon Baal Yahweh Milcom Hadad Qos | | | | | | | Moab Philistia Canaan Jacob Ammon Aram Edom |
