We should not think of them as rules imposed by an impersonal government. They are more like the wedding vows joyously taken by a blushing bride on her wedding day. If we understand the Torah as a ketubah (wedding contract), we see that it is far more than an ethical system or a moral list of dos and don’ts. Instead it functions as the sacred marriage covenant between God and His people.

In a recent survey, people where asked “If you were given the chance to have dinner with someone from the Old Testament who would you choose and why?”
Here are the the top 3 responses: [ My comments in square brackets ]
- God (279 responses) [ What did you expect? ]
- David (158 responses) [ Meh, understandable. Kind of a big deal. ]
- Eve (126 responses) [ LOLZ! I wonder how many of the 126 responses where from men!? ]
And you?
