Week 21 - The Egyptian Hallel
When you read Psalms 113-118, did you know that you were
reading a historic document called the Egyptian Hallel? Hallel means “praise”
and the word Egyptian reminds the people of their bondage and miraculous
release by God. During the first century, Psalms 113-114 were sung before the
Passover meal and Psalms 115-118 were sung after. These songs of praise , read
by us today, connect back to King David and Solomon and the building of the
Temple. We share those writings with our Lord, who used them to remember His
people’s history the night before He was crucified.

This week we learn more about David’s exploits – and of the
deaths of his son and rape of Tamar. The opening scene was fitting of a current
TV show (proving that nothing really changes!).
Absalom, David’s son, had a sister named Tamar. Tamar’s half-brother
was Amnon. Amnon pretended to be sick to lure Tamar into his bedroom,
ostensibly to bake him some food. During this visit, Amnon raped Tamar. Amnon
broke the commandment in Leviticus 18:9:
You shall not uncover the nakedness
of your sister, your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether
brought up in the family or in another home. Lev
18:9 (ESV)
