Pentateuch by William Kelly. Deuteronomy Chapters 16:18 to 34.
It is clear that a new division of the statutes and judgments of this book begins with the later verses just read from Deuteronomy 16. What belonged to the religious life of Israel was closed with the three feasts which fill the previous part of the chapter. Now we touch on…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Deuteronomy Chapters 1 to 16
n examining Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, we have found what may be called an abstract typical system. That is, we see in them a number of institutions laid down by Jehovah, the pattern of which was shown in the mount. These figures Moses was inspired to give as a whole…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Numbers Chapters 22 to 36.
The successes given to the children of Israel alarmed some of their neighbours, more particularly Moab; and this gives occasion for a striking episode in the history which brought to issue as solemn a question as any raised in the book of Numbers. The sending for Balaam on the part…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Numbers Chapters 10:11 to 21.
The previous portion of the Book of Numbers, viewed as a history, has evidently a prefatory character, however important and divinely wise. It is in a great measure preparatory for that which we have now to look at, — the proper journeying of the children of Israel and the instruction…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Numbers Chapters 1 to 10:1-10.
It is impossible to look at this book ever so cursorily without feeling the difference of the atmosphere from that of Leviticus. And this is so much the more striking because it cannot be fairly doubted by a believer that they were both the production of the same inspired author.…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Leviticus Chapters 16 to 27
We have seen the various forms of the work of Christ, of His offering of Himself to God, whether in all the perfectness of His life, or in His death as the means of our acceptance. We have seen further the consecration of the priests naturally following the offerings and…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Leviticus Chapters 1 to 15
The book of Leviticus has its own character quite as manifestly as Genesis or Exodus. Its peculiar feature is that from its very starting-point it is the revelation of what God saw in Jesus Christ our Lord, the typical application which grace made of Him and His work to souls,…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Exodus Chapters 19 to 40.
“In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.” Up to this point all the dealings of God have been the simple application and outflow of His own grace. This is…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Exodus Chapters 1 to 18.
There is hardly a book of the Old Testament that stands out in more decided contrast with the book of Genesis than the one which follows it most closely. And this is the more striking, because God employed the same inspired writer to give us both, as well as others.…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Genesis Chapters 25:19 to the End.
Having already shown the position of Isaac, I resume briefly with the remark that he stands before us clearly as the representative of the Son, and this too as dead, risen, and in heaven. All will understand it who remember that we have had His death and resurrection parabolically in Genesis…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Genesis Chapters 12 to 25.
We have had hitherto God’s account of that which He had made; then the trial and utter ruin of the creature, with the revelation of divine mercy in Christ the Lord. We have had in fine the judgment of the world before the flood, and the universal history, we may…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Genesis Chapters 1 to 11.
There is one characteristic of divine revelation to which attention may be profitably called as a starting point. We have to do with facts. The Bible alone is a revelation of facts, and, we can add (not from the Old Testament, but from the New), of a person. This is…

Pentateuch by William Kelly. Introduction to the Pentateuch.
Lectures Introductory to the Study of the Pentateuch. Preface. The Lectures which follow were delivered in London, during the month of May, 1870, and corrected from notes taken in shorthand, with additions. It may be painful to some that so much notice is taken of sceptical assaults on the Pentateuch.…
