On the one hand, it is intimately related to the way God builds his kingdom on a cosmic scale, and on the other hand it addresses how God\u2019s royal family should rule and live rightly in his world. Specifically, wisdom is the exercised knowledge by which God oversees or governs his world in an ordered way and by which humans, through a fear-generating encounter with God (through his word and presence) are to do the same as his representatives. Concerning the relationship between wisdom and the law, the law provided general guidelines and examples but still needed to be embodied in daily lives with specific applications for every circumstance. In Job, there are several references to God\u2019s words, ways, and commands, which suggests a general grounding in the biblical tradition (6:10; 21:14; 22:22; 23:11\u201312). The author of Job drew not only on broad wisdom traditions but also directly from the Pentateuchal materials, which suggests both an organic connection between wisdom and law but also the covenantal nature of Israel\u2019s wisdom writings.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4596","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
