COMMENT: It is because the “life” (or “soul” -- Strong's #5315) of an Israelite
person is precious to YEHOVAH God. How precious? Man’s life exceeds the
value of his ability to redeem himself by any of his own actions or assets. Nor
can he offer himself. Consequently YEHOVAH God alone can redeem His
people, even at great cost. The Blood of the Messiah is described as being
“precious”, a word we saw above.

3. Speaking of Jacob, what does Isaiah state? Isaiah 43:1-7.

COMMENT: We do not ever read of other races being “precious”. In saying
this there is no direct connection of blood with DNA mentioned in this pas-
sage, but DNA is in the blood as in all other cells. As to what happens exactly,
we are not told, and medical science seems to have made no mention to date.

The Word “WRITTEN”

This word is used of something that is recorded in a permanent sense, but it is
in the Imperfect Mood. This Mood describes a single action in the past in a
pictorial way, and suggests there is some process before its full development.
The word is much used in the Old Testament as referring to the keeping of
records.

1. How were the Ten Com-
mandments (Words) recorded?
Exodus 31:18.

COMMENT: The Ten Com-
mandments (Words) were “writ-
ten” by the finger of YEHOVAH
God. The idea is that that which
is written is not designed to be

extinguished. Thus we have the
idea of something being en-
graved or inscribed. We do not

find any reference to “write” or
“written” in the Book of Genesis itself, but in Genesis 5:1 we find reference to
the word “book”, so we will move onto that word.

The Word “BOOK”

In this section we will look at Exodus 32 which is the story about when Moses
went up the Mount of YEHOVAH God and received the Ten Commandments.
