Hireling ministers are a dime a dozen. Religious systems of men produce hirelings. This is a false spiritual paradigm that is self-sustaining and self-perpetuating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 17:13, <em>Now I know. <\/em><\/strong>Michah cared nothing about serving YHVH and obeying his commandments. His only concern for religion was for self-gratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#a02f6b\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 18:30\u201331, <em>Manasseh\u2026carved image. <\/em><\/strong><em>The son of Manasseh [Moshe\/Moses]. <\/em>The MT reads \ufb23\u05e9\u05c1\u05de\/Moshe (Moses) with a hanging <em>nun<\/em>\/\u05e0\u202d \u202cinserted by the Jewish sages between the <em>mem <\/em>\u05de and the <em>shin <\/em>\u05e9\u05c1 to make it read <em>Manashe<\/em> in an effort to hide the fact that the direct descendants of Moses became idol-worshippers. Jewish scholars readily admit this, and acknowledge the fact that the word <em>Moshe<\/em> is in the original (<em>The Artscroll Rubin Edition Joshua-Judges Commentary<\/em>, p. 223). Various versions of the LXX translate it either way. The Targums and the Syriac have <em>Manasseh<\/em>. (See Keil and Delitzsch, Adam Clarke and Bullinger in his <em>Companion Bible<\/em> for a more detailed discussion of this. The NIV, NRSV, RSV and ASV have <em>Moses<\/em> instead of <em>Manasseh, <\/em>while the NAS and NKJV have the latter, but add a footnote indicating that <em>Moses<\/em> as an alternate rendering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#9b0532\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 19:24\u201325, <em>Here is my virgin daughter\u2026his concubine.<\/em><\/strong>This is nothing more than the degradation and abuse of women. This incident speaks volumes about the status of women in the ancient world. Even though the Torah uplifts and upholds the status of women, the neighboring pagan cultures, which the Israelites tended to follow, obviously did not. Islam and the Koran still follow these ancient practices viewing woman as property, chattel and second class citizens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#d62919\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 20:1\u201348, A lesson in warfare<em>.<\/em><\/strong>Israel took a stand for righteousness against the sin of homosexuality. They did the right thing by inquiring of YHVH whether to go up against the Benjaminites who were harboring the sexually deviant brothers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twice YHVH told the Israelites to go up against Benjamin and that he would give them victory. Twice Israel was defeated losing thousands of soldiers. Each time afterwards, Israel did the right thing by humbling themselves, weeping and seeking YHVH\u2019s counsel. The third time, Israel was victorious against Benjamin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This begs an important question. Why wasn\u2019t Israel victorious the first two times? Perhaps there was sin in the camp as was the case with Achan when the Israelites were defeated at Ai. The Israelites were right in punishing the unrepentant tribe of Benjamin, yet the rest of Israel wasn\u2019t without sin either. After all, the Levite who had a concubine (a type of sex slave) in the first place, and then gave her to the mob of bisexual deviants to abuse and murder was also a guilty party. Not only that, the rest of Israel had failed to hold the Levite accountable for his sin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was the Levite\u2019s sin? First, he should not have had a concubine sex slave. Second, he should have protected her from the mob. Obviously such practices were common among the Israelites\u2014even among the Levitical leaders who YHVH had commissioned to be the guardians and teachers of the Torah\u2014YHVH\u2019s standard of righteous and set-apart living.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the leaders of nation are morally and spiritually compromised, what is to become of the rest of the nation? Moreover, how is YHVH to bless such a nation by delivering them from their enemies when they themselves are sin-laden?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When expecting YHVH\u2019s help and deliverance from our enemies and before engaging our enemies, we must clean our own house spiritually by repenting of sin. If not, we shouldn\u2019t expect victory, or at best, only a partial victory, which is also a partial defeat. When a nation is not serving and obeying YHVH completely, and as a result, there is sin in the nation\u2019s camp, and everyone in that nation is doing what\u2019s right in his own eyes, and there is no strong, righteous central leadership in that nation (Judg 21:25), the fate of that nation will be what Israel experienced in this story. YHVH will be with them, but only up to the level their obedience to him merits it. This is a result of the divine law of cause and effect\u2014the law of reciprocity. One reaps physically and spiritually what one sow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judges 20:28, <em>Phinehas the son of Eleazar.<\/em><\/strong>Either Phinehas was hundreds of years old, or this story is an anachronism, or out of chronological order. Adam Clarke in his commentary on this verse suggest that this event occurred shortly after the death of Joshua. If this is the case, then the book of Judges is not written in chronological order.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Natan\\&#039;s Commentary on Judges 17 to 20',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2021\/11\/10\/natans-commentary-on-judges-17-to-20\/',contentID: 'post-19764',suggestTags: 'The Book of Judges',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judges 17 Judges 17:3, I had wholly dedicated.
