.... yeah.. and look what they are to teach the other nations as a holy nation...Exodus 19:3-6
-I even used a Christian translation to avoid accusations from certain people that those evil Rabbis changed the words-
What do we have here?
God is speaking to Moses...
God tells Moses to say something to the people of Israel...
He tells Moses to remind them of God's great deeds...
Look at this:
Ok, so God has instructed Moses to tell the people of Israel that if they keep God's covenant, then they will be His possession...now, let's look at verse 6:
This verse qualifies what it means to be His possession...they are to be to God a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
God has laid out the terms of His covenant...now, the response of Israel in verse 8:
Thus, the covenant between God and Israel is struck...no mention of worldwide adherence is mentioned.
It's a pretty straightforward set of verses. There's not a lot of room for hermeneutic gymnastics.
Leviticus 24:22
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
Numbers 15:16
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Numbers 15:29
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
