Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

From the words spoken by Moses to his fellow Israelites 
before Moses went upon Mount Nebo, saw the Promised Land, 
died, and was divinely buried, and Joshua, his successor,
led the Israelites across the divinely parted
Jordan River and onto the Promised Land:


 Deuteronomy Chapter 25 consists of 19 verses, 
 verses 1-16 are listed below: 

1.If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 

2.And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 
3.Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

4.Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.


5.If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

6.And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. 
7.And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in   Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. 
8.Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her; 
9.Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. 
10.And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

11.When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 

12.Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

13.Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

14.Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15.But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

16.For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.


In the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, many abominations to the Lord God are revealed. In the Promised Land,  King Ahab, the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, and King Ahaz, the 11th king to rule Judah, the southern nation, and Ahaz's grandson Manasseh, the 13th king to rule Judah, and Manasseh's great-grandson Jehoiakim  (Eliakim) the 17th king to rule Judah, were known for the abominations they committed. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites  in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. During the 9th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered the royal city, Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Less than 140 years after Samaria was conquered, Jehoiakim began ruling Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem, the royal city, and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the 11th year of the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. When Jesus was amid a group of listeners that included his disciples and some Pharisees, Jesus taught about abomination.
