What reading level is The Early Religion of Israel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
V. 8. ^ See p. 80.
52 THE MOSAIC PERIOD goes so far as to say that Yahweh gave Israel this particular commandment in wrath in order that he might make them desolate/ The remaining laws of the code are all adaptations of earlier Semitic institutions. In other respects also we must suppose that Moses left most of the rites of primitive Semitism unchanged.
The covenant code contains no ethical requirements, nevertheless these were log- ically involved in the Mosaic conception of Yahweh. The god wh...o took pity upon an alien race and delivered it from its bondage in Egypt was one who naturally required his worshipers to help the distressed. In the earliest historical records Yahweh already appears as the champion of righteousness and the friend of the oppressed. The germ of this development must be sought at the beginning of the religion of Israel, even ^ See p. 94.
53 THE EARLY RELIGION OF ISRAEL though no precise information on the sub- ject has come down to us; and in this fun- damentally ethical character we see the clearest evidence of the divine origin of Mosaism.
