Some fascinating points emerge from this analysis.* First, that the one exception** is Moses, who I had always thought of as the Lawgiver*** – but he is with implementors, down at U~, where in the early autumn of the annual calendar lawyers are statistically significant.**** As one might then expect, he is immediately followed by the Judges.

The Kings at A~ represent the temporal, not sacred, kingship of Israel; Israel’s brief period of secular triumph is here, like most people’s: after the struggle and before the retribution or decline. Samuel is seen, like Moses, as an implementor, a fixer in the period of increasing complication: if an expression of God, then God working in the outward circle, veiling the Spirit with the curse of destruction.#
