Questions

  • Who is the Almighty God speaking to Abraham here (v.1)?
  • How does the command to be "perfect" (v.1) in the Abrahamic tradition compare to the concept of perfection (being without spot) in the Mosaic tradition? Are they different? Can we see the Lord repeating this command during his earthly ministry as a restoration of a lost principle?

Lexical notes

  • The Hebrew term "tamiym" is translated here as "perfect", but is translated as "without blemish" almost 40 times in Numbers and Leviticus.
