Name of Par’shah- 48.3b Gebulot- Boundaries
Par’shah- Deu 19:14-21:9
Property Boundaries
Deuteronomy 19:14 (ESV) “You shall not move your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in the inheritance that you will hold in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess. This is given specifically for ha’eretz, however anywhere we should respect property boundaries.
Laws Concerning Witnesses
Deuteronomy 19:15 (ESV) “A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established. One of the most important legal principles in Torah. Conviction requires sufficient proof.
Deuteronomy 19:16-19a,21 (ESV) If a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing, then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days. The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. … Your eye shall not pity. It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Perjury should be treated as a very serious offense, including the death penalty in capital cases.
Laws Concerning Warfare
Deuteronomy 20:1 (ESV) “When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. When faced with overwhelming odds, trust God.
Deuteronomy 20:2-4 (ESV) And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’ We have chaplains. They should be men of courage and conviction, and should not be restricted in ministering to their charges.
Deuteronomy 20:10-11 (ESV) “When you draw near to a city to fight against it, offer terms of peace to it. And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you. Aways try for peace first, and if your enemy surrenders treat them accordingly; fairly, honorably, and with a degree of compassion.
Deuteronomy 20: (ESV) But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. 13 And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword, Belligerent forces are treated more sternly.
All these were given specifically to the Hebrews who were about to go in and conquer Israel. However there is no proscription on us adopting them today. I chose the ones that most could apply to us today. In actuality, we’d do well to adopt them all. But I tried to be practical. So it there are any you think should be added to our list, feel free to post. Also, you may have noticed, but I am giving these names taken from the first verse in the passages I am breaking out. Gebulot- Boundaries comes from:
דברים Devarim 19:14 (WLC) לֹ֤א תַסִּיג֙ גְּב֣וּל רֵֽעֲךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר גָּבְל֖וּ רִאשֹׁנִ֑ים בְּנַחֲלָֽתְךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּנְחַ֔ל בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃
H1366 גְּבוּל gebûl From H1379; properly a cord (as twisted), that is, (by implication) a boundary; by extension the territory inclosed: - border, bound, coast, X great, landmark, limit, quarter, space.
