4. What does verse 14 go onto say?

COMMENT: Moses was commanded to teach statutes and judgments that
ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. We are told
that keeping these is why other nations would think and know that Israel
was a great and a wise race. Here racial separation is demonstrated! It
is a common perception that none of the Law existed before it was given
through Moses on Mount Horeb, but we have seen that YEHOVAH God
knew Abram would obey the Law.

5. The requirement to obey the spoken words of YEHOVAH God starts
right back in Genesis. Notice Genesis 3:3.

6. Did Cain break YEHOVAH’s
commandments? Genesis 4:8.

COMMENT: Punishment for law

breaking prior to Sinai is first
found in regard to Cain in Gene-

sis 4:13, and it has 236 occur-
rences in the Old Testament,
most of which refer to Israel. No-
tice also I John 3:12.

The Scripture also records that
YEHOVAH judged other races,
and that obedience was required
of them. When their iniquity was
full YEHOVAH destroyed them.

7. What does Genesis 13:13 state regarding the actions of a non-Israelite
people?

COMMENT: One of the cities YEHOVAH God destroyed for wickedness
was Sodom. To be wicked, a Law must have existed for them to obey. The
law of YEHOVAH God was flouted in a way that was open, deliberate, and
public.

8. What does Isaiah say about this attitude? Isaiah 3:9.

9. Was this attitude also prevalent in Israel? Notice Jeremiah 23:14.

COMMENT: This verse confirms this attitude in reference to those in Israel
