Document Summary
Rlga02 winter 2013: study questions for midterm: describe the contracts or covenants outlined in the stories of the hebrew bible. Discuss themes connected to successful and/or failed attempts to live up to these contracts. Make sure to include specific examples of these contracts. Answer: covenants that god made: adam, noah, abraham, jacob (israel) and moses. The main ones are the covenant god made with abraham and the one he made with moses. A covenant is a special agreement b/w god and the jewish people. Covenant w/ adam: live in the garden of eden where you and eve don t have to work and everything will be provided for you, as long as you don t eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, eve is tempted by the serpent and eats the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and adam follows her lead, even though they know they are disobeying god.
