Start By Observing The Text
- Use the study book's guidance: first observe the Old Testament law before trying to interpret it.
- Ask simple questions like 'What is happening?' and 'What questions do I have?' to begin Bible study.

- Forgetfulness explains their fear at the spies' report despite witnessing Sinai and the Red Sea earlier.

- The law's repeated commands aim to reorient Israel from polytheistic neighbors back to Edenic living.
- Obedience would 're-Edenize' the world by modeling covenant holiness now and anticipating the New Jerusalem.
