Bits of Torah Truths – Paul quotes the Torah Exodus 16:18 in 2 Corinthians 8:15 – Episode 104

2 Corinthians 8:15
 טו כְּפִי שֶׁכָּתוּב׃ ״וְלֹא הֶעְדִּיף הַמַּרְבֶּה וְהַמַּמְעִיט לֹא הֶחְסִיר.״ (שמות טז׳ יח׳)

2 Corinthians 8:15 
15 as it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack.” (NASB)

Exodus 16:18 
18 When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat. (KJV)

Here in 2 Corinthians 8:15 Paul quotes from Exodus 16:18 to describe how the Lord will give to each person exactly what one needs in service to the Lord. This again demonstrates how the Torah remains valid for us to understand the NT text and what Paul is trying to say! The Torah has not passed away.
