Read the passages below.
- Genesis 1:3
- Leviticus 21:1
- Numbers 12:4
- Note common features that suggest their elevated authority.
All of the texts you read on the previous page claim to convey divine revelation. They give us the very words God spoke to His people in the ancient world. (Notice that the humans who speak for God include both men and women.)
Each of these passages comes from the Torah, which is full of divine speech and commands. As we know, these first five books are not only the beginning but also the core of the Hebrew Bible, which the Prophets and Writings reference and share as their foundation.
