God's Will and Testament: Inheritance in the Gospel of Matthew and Jewish Tradition

by Daniel Daley and Daniel Daley

The Hebrew Bible expresses the Israelite belief that the Israelites were the people of God uniquely chosen from among all peoples of the earth, and that this status as elected people guaranteed them certain privileges not granted to other peoples. One of these privileges was the right to an inheritance granted by God himself--a birthright that provided a sense of God's protection and an awareness of Israel's relationship to God as a special nation.
