For those of you who have kept up with all the lessons in this Bible study series, from lesson 1 to this lesson, lesson 22, you know that one goal is to see how the Torah may have been understood THEN, 3400 years ago, among the Hebrews just leaving Egypt. This lesson is another clear example. This event, of Noah planting a vineyard, seems out of place since we just dealt with the judgment of all mankind, the flood, and that the impact on evil in the world. Then, the flood is over, almost 350 years pass, and what does God have Moses write about? Another major event, another major lesson? NO. He inspires Moses to tell about Noah planting a vineyard. What's with that? Why is this so important?
It is important. But, once again we must go back and put these words in their historical setting. We need to ask ourselves what did those Hebrews who came out of Egypt see in this event? What did they "hear?" And knowing that it will enrich our Bible understanding and help us know God in a deeper and more profound way.
