Three types of rules:
Israelite civic laws (don’t apply to us)
Israelite ritual laws (don’t apply to us)
Ethical laws (do apply to us – usually appear in the new testament as well)

Wisdom
Two simple patterns:
Turn from your sin or face ten curses (death, disease, drought, dearth, danger, destruction, defeat, deportation, destitution, disgrace) Big with writers before the fall of Jerusalem
God is love: Six blessings (life, health, prosperity, agricultural abundance, respect, safety) Big with writers after the fall of Jerusalem when the people are in exile.
Start here: Proverbs 4, 10.
Psalms 19, 23, 27, 51, 84, 103, 139.
Job 1, 2, 38, 42 Eccles 3, 12
Teach us to worship, be honest with God, reflect and meditate
