Daniel Francis Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well this is a very fine little commentary, and we do have in Accordance the Compact Dictionary and the Compact NIV Naves Topical (although Accordance no longer sells the NAVES volume)... Having read this volume cover to cover back in the early 90s I can recommend it as fine little volume... -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bennett Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Unlikely we'll get it with it being that 'old.' Have you seen the Expositor's Abridged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 HALLEY'S BIBLE HANDBOOK is a closer match to the said resource..... although I would tend to put it on a slightly lower level than Sailhamer's volume. Here is a sample of Halley's Leviticus 19–20 Miscellaneous Laws These chapters contain a number of miscellaneous laws, ranging from the Sabbath, to sorcery, to kindness to strangers. The diversity of these laws shows that God is interested in all aspects of life. He did not give laws only to keep Israel from doing what was wrong, but also to tell Israel what it meant to live as the nation chosen by God and as people who loved God. “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself” This injunction (19:18) is one of the highlights of the Mosaic law. It is the second great commandment Jesus quoted (Matthew 22:39; the first great commandment—Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind—is found in Deuteronomy 6:5). The law instructed the people to show great consideration to the poor. Wages were to be paid day by day. No inteest was to be charged (“usury” in the KJV refers to interest of any kind). Loans and gifts were to be made to the needy. A portion of the harvest was to be left in the fields for the poor. All through the Old Testament, unceasng emphasis is placed on kindness to widows, orphans, and strangers. The weak and the poor are everyone’s responsibility. Concubinage, polygamy, divorce, and slavery were allowed but greatly restricted (19:20; Exodus 21:2–11; Deuteronomy 21:15; 24:1–4). Moses’ Law lifted marriage to a far higher level than existed in surrounding nations. Slavery was tempered by humane considerations; it never existed on a large scale among the Jews, nor with such cruelties as were prevalent in Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Rome, and other nations. An Israelite could not be a slave forever (see on Leviticus 25). Henry H. Halley, Halley’s Bible Handbook, Deluxe, Accordance electronic ed.

Daniel Francis Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 EERDMANS COMPANION TO THE BIBLE, is an even closer match in my mind... 19 Practical Holiness If the first chapters of Leviticus primarily legislate ritual holiness, chapter 19 makes clear that God also requires of his people a practical holiness in both public and private life that results from fearing God (emphasized by the repeated phrase, “I am the Lord”) and that results in loving others in both word and deed (vv. 18, 34). Each of the Ten Commandments appears in some form here, with added directives that emphasize the importance of carrying out not only the letter but also the spirit of the laws. Not only must an Israelite refrain from robbery—he must not even delay paying a worker promptly (v. 13); an Israelite may express anger toward another, but he must not allow his anger to turn into heartfelt hatred (v. 17); and not only must a person restrain himself from taking vengeance on another—he must not even bear a grudge (v. 18). The Israelites’ oppression as slaves in Egypt gives birth to admonishments to love the needy and the resident alien through practical acts of concern (vv. 10, 33–34). Care must extend beyond one’s neighbor to include the rest of God’s creation—both land and animals (vv. 19, 23–25; cf. 25:1–7). So holiness must manifest itself not only in rejection of pagan practices (vv. 26b-30), but also in the performance of just and merciful acts—in right behavior. Gordon D. Fee and Robert L. Hubbard Jr., eds., The Eerdmans Companion to the Bible (Grand Rapids, MI; Cambridge, U.K.: William B.

Daniel Francis Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Just discovering it in OT I thought I would share the actual NIV Compact for fairest comparison with the suggested Accordance options above. -Dan ________________________________________ 3. Statutes and judgments (19:1- 37) This section is introduced with the admonition, “Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.” The first section (vv. 1- 18) consists of a list of twenty- one (three times seven) laws. These laws are broken up into smaller units by a sevenfold repetition of the phrase “I am the LORD (your God)” (vv. 3b,4b, 10b, 12b, 14b, 16b, 19b). The second section (vv. 19- 37) is introduced with the admonition, “You shall keep my statutes” (v. 19a) and concludes with a similar admonition (v. 37a) and the statement, “I am the LORD” (v. 37b). Like the first section of laws, it consists of twenty- one (three times seven) laws, broken up into smaller units by a sevenfold repetition of the phrase, “I am the LORD (your God)” (vv. 25, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36). We have already seen a close relationship between the laws in the Pentateuch and the early sections of Genesis. A similar relationship between the procedures outlined for planting fruit trees here and in Ge I may occur. According to Lev 19, when fruit trees were planted, they could not to be eaten until the fifth year (in the fourth year they were holy). In the account of Creation, God created fruit trees on the third day (Ge 1:11- 12), but there was not yet any person to eat from them. Taking the pattern of “days” in Ge I to correspond to a pattern of “years” in the present text, we see that humankind was created on the sixth day, the day when the fruit trees would be holy. On the next day, the Sabbath, they could eat from the fruit. Thus the writer of the Pentateuch portrays God as following the pattern of his own law. --John Sailhamer, NIV Compact Commentary Edited January 28, 2016 by Dan Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farcas Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 A Sailhamer work that I find fantastic: The Pentateuch as Narrative: A Biblical-Theological Commentary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnABarnett Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I studied under John Sailhamer at Biola College back in the 1970's. A good, good man, and a devoted scholar. After reading "The Meaning Of The Pentateuch" a couple of years ago I attempted to contact him via email and got a sweet and thankful response from his wife, Patty. She said that health issues kept him from replying himself, and that God's timing allowed him to finish "The Meaning..." in 2009 before the onset of debilitating health. God bless this man's work. Any book of his is worth reading and giving due consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdbertrand Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Could this title be created as an Accordance resource: The Pentateuch as Narrative: A Biblical-Theological Commentary? It really is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
