The Bible’s Book of Deuteronomy refers to the day on which God spoke His Ten Words from the midst of the fire on Horeb as the “Day of the Assembly.” This foundational event is described in detail in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Each presents the same basic story, but each version provides different details. In this class, we explore these two versions by comparing and contrasting our sources side-by-side in a method described as horizontal study. What can we learn when we compare and contrast similar narratives within the Bible? Are there textual variants within the Hebrew Bible? Yes, and this class introduces the subject and seeks to provide a tool to benefit all who wish to study the Bible with the intent of discovering the truth from our varied sources.
