For centuries, though, God dealt in a special way with Israel, giving a national Law code, arranging for priests to offer sacrifices at his temple, and providing the Promised Land in which to reside.
Kuid sajandite jooksul kohtles Jumal Iisraeli erilisel viisil, andes rahvusliku Seaduse kogu, korraldades, et preestrid ohverdaksid tema templis ohvreid, ja andes neile asustamiseks Tõotatud Maa.
