Hebrew Bible Study: Commentary & Translation

"The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is the canonical collection of Hebrew scriptures, including the Torah. These texts are almost exclusively in Biblical Hebrew, with a few passages in Biblical Aramaic

Judaism was a false doctrine that taught men to keep the Mosaic Law in addition to the Law of Christ (see Acts 15:1-5). Judaism had made deep inroads in the Lord's church at the time of writing. The Hebrew writer combats this erring doctrine by setting forth the superiority of Christ to angels, Moses, the Mosaic Law, Levitical priesthood, and Abraham. To attain the righteousness of God, the Hebrews would need to be taught to reject Judaism and do not permit their persecution and temptation to sin to get the better of them."
