Summary
Among the manuscripts left by Earl C. Davis were a large collection concerning various aspects of the history of the Bible, which are collected here.
Lecture VI, "Finding the Book of Instruction in the Temple," concerns the discovery of "the book of instruction," in the Temple in Jerusalem during repairs in the year 621 B.C.E. The chapter covers the complicated geopolitical history of Israel and Judah during the years 722 B.C.E. through 444 B.C.E. when the Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile in Babylonia. These events were crucial to establishing the Pentateuch as the Sacred Scripture of the Jews of Judah and Israel.
