Quote #7
You shall live in booths for seven days; all that are citizens in Israel shall live in booths, so that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. (NRSV 23:42-43)
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. (KJV 23:42-43)
In the Festival of Booths, the Israelites commemorate their journey out of Egypt by living in tents for a week. It's a lot like Burning Man, except in the Bible the festival takes place after the Exodus.
Quote #8
If any of your kin fall into difficulty and become dependent on you, you shall support them; they shall live with you as though resident aliens. Do not take interest in advance or otherwise make a profit from them, but fear your God; let them live with you. You shall not lend them your money at interest taken in advance, or provide them food at a profit. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God. (NRSV 25:35-38)
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. (KJV 25:35-38)
Land is a big deal in Leviticus. When a fellow Israelite is so poor that he no longer has any real estate, he's basically just a foreigner or tourist. Still, God says, everyone in Israel is a traveler in the land he gave them, so be nice.
As for your Israelite sisters? Well, in ancient Israel the average woman doesn't own real property—she is property. This is why the tenth commandment lists a man's wife as one of his belongings, along with his house and his donkey.
Quote #9
I will look with favor upon you and make you fruitful and multiply you; and I will maintain my covenant with you. (NRSV 26:9)
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. (KJV 26:9)
The promise of God's contract is that he will be Israel's Oprah. "You get a cow! You get crops! You get children! Everybody gets a cow and crops and children!"
