Another short observation. Here we have the eternal flame for the Lord. And we have the year of jubilee. We have death penalty for blasphemy and the requirement for fallow fields. We have the famous code of ancient moderation:
Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.
Lev. 24:19-20. In church we have just finished the Sermon on the Mount including the following:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
