False Setting Number 2 Now we have come to False Setting Number 2 ~Previously we have said the Mosaic Law of statutes and ordinances were the sacrificial system exclusively. But it cannot be only sacrificial law and still “amplified principles of Decalogue” (PP 364). Sacrificial law was not “designed to guard sacredness of Decalogue” (PP364) but pointed to the bridal price to be paid for our salvation and was fulfilled. “The law of Moses’ was to play an important part in helping people prepare for the day of the Lord” (4BC1134) this applies to our day. Since we have confused ordinances of God with the ordinance of man, I decided that I needed a deeper study on the word “ordinances.” So again I went to the Ellen G. White Index, and this is what I found: “Tithe is an ordinance”(TM 307), “marriage is an ordinance”(AH 70; 2SM 440) “Christ is our great ordinance”(7BC 967). We can see by this that not all ordinances ended at the cross. So I decided it was time to go to the Strong’s Concordance again. I found that there were not only six Greek and but also six Hebrew words translated to the one English word ordinance and two of these Hebrew words were also translated to the word statute. These two numbers are very important! They are 2706 and 2708. However, it is very difficult to tell the difference between these two words by the definition for their definitions are basically the same. Statute/ordinanceOT # 2706 Choq, khoke; from 2710; an enactment; hence an appointment (of time, space, quantity, labor or usage): —appointed, bound, commandment, convenient, custom, decree, (-d),due, law, measure, x necessary, ordinance (-nary), portion, set time, statute, task. OT # 2708 Chuqqah, khook-kaw`; as the fem. of 2706, and means, substantially the same: --appointed, custom, manner, ordinance, site, statute.Since these definitions definitely didn’t help in determining the difference between these two numbers I proceeded with a textual study focusing on the first five books of the Bible and this is what I found. Statute/ordinance The word statute 2706 was translated from the Hebrew word Choq, and applies most often to the statutes of sacrifices and oblations. The word statute 2708 was translated from the Hebrew word Chuqqah, and applies most often to the statutes of the moral law, permanently binding statutes of sanctification, textually seen with the word forever. The question is often asked, “I thought forever doesn’t really mean forever?” I found this to be true sometimes. Especially since there are about twelve Hebrew and twelve Greek words translated to this one English word forever. However the one that is used with statutes 2708 is the Hebrew word olam perpetual 5769, and is used in context that identifies God Himself, Who is forever everlasting as long as time should last. “God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM… I AM hath sent you … This is My name forever5769 [olam, perpetual] and this is My memorial unto all generations.” (Ex. 3:14-15)Not only do these two Hebrew words, choq and chuqqah, representing two laws: sacrificial and moral, but what amazes me is that these two words are gendered. Notice in the definition for statute # 2708 says that it is the “feminine part of 2706. Then the logical conclusion is that 2706 must be masculine. The Lexical Aid in the Complete Word Study Bible by AMG Publishers supports this conclusion. Here we see a dual part in the Ketubah Covenant agreement hidden in definitions of Hebrew words. Christ our Bridegroom has fulfilled His part and the bride’s part is soon to be fulfilled. Previously we have seen the Mosaic Law or Book of the Law that was deposited in the side of the Ark of the Covenant (Deut 31:26), as containing only laws of sacrifice. But NOW we see statutes 2706 sacrificial and 2708 permanently binding statutes of sanctification were both, together in the same book as the following quote points out.
