Synopsis
Old Testament canon by the prophetical books of pre diction. The two together form the middle portion of the threefold canon, under the common name of Onaccount of their relative position in the canon, the former are also described as WfihKVJ WW tythe first prophets, and the latter D3nn 5n? the last prophets. In the Masora this central portion is sometimes designated as NP ift Ptf, possibly because it exhibits a complete and homogeneous whole. The first prophets are in that case distinguished from the last, as Knwj? Nnob Kand N$n untitafc The thorah is indeed also a prophetical work, since Moses, the mediator through whom the law was revealed, was for that very reason a prophet without an equal (D eut. xxxiv. 10); and even the final codification of the great historical law-book possessed a prophetical character (E zra ix. 11). But it would not have been right to include the thorah (P entateuch) in that portion of the canon which is designated as the prophets (nebiim), inasmuch as, although similar in character, it is not similar in rank to the other prophetical books. It stands by itself as perfectly unique the original record which regulated on all sides the being and life of Israel as the chosen nation, and to which all other prophecy in Israel stood in a derivative relation. And this applies not to prophecy alone, but to all the later writings. The thorah was not only the type of the prophetic histories, but of the non-prophetic, the priestly, political, VOL. I.

Product Description
Excerpt from Biblical Commentary, Vol. 1: On the Prophecies of Isaiah The prophetical histories are followed in the Old Testament canon by the prophetical books of prediction. The thorah is indeed also a prophetical work, since Moses, the mediator through whom the law was revealed, was for that very reason a prophet without an equal (Deut. xxxiv. 10); and even the final codification of the great historical law-book possessed a prophetical character (Ezra ix. 11). But it would not have been right to include the thorah (Pentateuch) in that portion of the canon which is designated as the prophets (nebiim), inasmuch as, although similar in character, it is not similar in rank to the other prophetical books. It stands by itself as perfectly unique - the original record which regulated on all sides the being and life of Israel as the chosen nation, and to which all other prophecy in Israel stood in a derivative relation. And this applies not to prophecy alone, but to all the later writings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
