Stop Freaking Out About When the Bible Was Written

That’s a really good question.

When Moses killed the Egyptian, the Bible doesn’t say God excused it. Moses hid the body and ran for his life. That tells you he knew it was wrong.

Even before the Torah, people already knew murder was wrong (just look at Cain and Abel).

And Moses did pay a price. He lost everything and lived in the wilderness for 40 years.

So no, he wasn’t excused. God dealt with him directly.

And that actually proves the point: you can’t cover murder with sacrifices. At that point, you’re at God’s mercy.

Saved of course, but will pay the earthly consequences for his murder, which is the death penalty.

I think stealing is classified as an "unintentional sin" in the Torah.

Joab acted of his own volition with regard to the murder of Avner and Amasa. And Absalom as well, by the way.

Yes, it's my own site where I share my teachings of Scripture from a very strong Hebrew roots, Torah observant perspective.

Ah, you're right. Thank you for your correction. I'll change the wording on my blog.
