The Torah repeatedly warns against this spirit of division and sets down examples where strife leads to judgment or loss of blessing. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Torah Parallels to \u201cNot Walking in Strife\u201d<\/span> &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Connection to Romans 13:13<\/span> &#8211; Genesis 13:7\u20138 Strife between Abram\u2019s and Lot\u2019s herdsmen is an example of quarreling over resources. Abram seeks peace: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cLet there be no strife between me and you\u2026 for we are brethren.\u201d<\/em><\/span> A direct Torah ethic against contention. Genesis 26:20\u201322 Isaac\u2019s wells disputed by the herdsmen of Gerar is Strife over territory. Isaac names the wells Esek (contention) and Sitnah (enmity), then moves on until he finds peace. Torah shows strife as unfruitful. Exodus 2:13\u201314 Moses rebukes two Hebrews fighting, illustrating how the Torah portrays strife as destructive to unity and covenant identity. Numbers 12:1\u201310 Note how Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses. Strife through envy and rivalry leads to judgment; envy and strife are linked, just as Paul pairs them in Romans 13:13. Numbers 16:1\u201335 Note also Korah\u2019s rebellion which is strife against God\u2019s appointed leadership. This is a dramatic example of contention leading to destruction. Also, in Deuteronomy 1:12 Moses laments the people\u2019s strife. The burden of constant quarrels, the Torah frames strife as a heavy weight on leadership and community life. Paul\u2019s warning in Romans 13:13 is deeply Torah-centered: Israel\u2019s history shows that strife corrodes covenant unity, wastes energy, and invites judgment. Instead, the Torah consistently points to peace, humility, and brotherhood as the way of walking \u201cin the day.\u201d This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let Us Not Walk in Strife &#8211; Episode 638 Romans 13:13 \u05d5\u05bc\u05db\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d1\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05e0\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05d4\u05b5\u05d2 \u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b0\u05dc\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05db\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d6\u05b4\u05de\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e6\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e7\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4, #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Romans 13:13 13:13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24076,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[90,233,232,228,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-24074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-biblicalunity","10":"tag-faithwithoutstrife","11":"tag-messianicinsight","12":"tag-romans1313","13":"tag-torahethics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24074"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24075,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24074\/revisions\/24075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
