Leading Cases in the Bible (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Leading Cases in the Bible Of the decisions - where decisions are made are, as a rule, not the views expressed in either the Jewish or non-jewish religious or legal literature. They have been considered from the historical point of view, read, as far as possible, in the light of their own times, with out regard to the interpretation which later ages have placed upon them. There has never been a uniform system of interpreting the Bible, and every possible construction has been given to these cases, according to the knowledge, the religion or the prejudice of the interpreter. I offer my guess as to their meaning with all due deference to the Opinion of the many who will disagree with me, both among the orthodox and the heterodox interpreters of the Bible. I have re ceived a few suggestions from the Hebrew commenta tors and from some of the modern higher critics, but the bulk of the commentaries and works on exegesis that I have examined are entirely valueless for my purpose.
