THE BIBLE UNEARTHED: THE MAKING OF A RELIGION -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |

KING JOSIAH!
For THE LAW would play a CENTRAL ROLE in UNITING the Israelites,
and later would UNITE all those who made a claim to Judaism. The law that WAS GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE, as it appeared in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, and in Deuteronomy, would put into writing the BOND that EXISTED between Jews and their God. The LAW SEEN AS A COVENANT, a HOLY covenant.
Since that time, this LAW, and ITS TRANSMISSION and study,
constitutes the second pillar of Judaism: a religion unites a people
and its God, as in the time of Josiah,
by a covenant that is read and interpreted for ALL TIME.
