consideration:
ID: Inductive Questions (Asking the text questions like who, what,
where, when, why, & how?”)

the vague by the clear.)
WS: Word Study (Understanding definition, theological meaning, and
usages in other passages.)
·
ID Read through the commands in this
section and mark which command they are most related to. Which of The Ten Commandments are most
frequently referred to in this section.
·
ID
Which of the commands have a reason (or warning) associated with them?
·
CR (21:17, 24; 22:28) Three of these
commands are quoted in the New Testament (Mark
7:10; Matthew 5:38; Acts 23:5). Do
the NT allusions to these commands shed any light on them?
·
APPLICATION: Do any of these commands
demonstrate a principle which would be helpful in a situation that you have
been thinking about? Which of these
commands are puzzling to you? Why?
J. Hampton Keathley III, in his article, “The
Mosaic Law: Its Function and Purpose in the New Testament”, identifies
three kinds of laws in the Mosaic law given to Israel in the OT.
“It is common to divide the Mosaic
Law into three parts as illustrated below, but though this is helpful for
analysis and the study of the Mosaic Law and the way it functions, such a
division is never stated as such in Scripture. Rather it is seen as a unit.
Arguments for this will be given below.
Part 1: The Moral Law or the Ten
Commandments. This part of the Law governed the moral life giving guidance to
Israel in principles of right and wrong in relation to God and man (Exodus
20:1-17).
Part 2: The Judgments, or the
Social Law. This part of the Law governed Israel in her secular, social,
political, and economic life (Exodus 21:1–23:13).
Part 3: The Ordinances or the
Ceremonial Law. This was the religious portion of Law which guided and provided
for Israel in her worship and spiritual relationship and fellowship with God.
It included the priesthood, tabernacle and sacrifices (Exodus 25:-31:
Leviticus).”
