Israel as son of God in Torah.

Biblical Theology Bulletin | June 22, 2004| | Copyright

Abstract

In Exodus 4:22, God declares, "Israel is my first-born son." This image of the individual, Israel, continues through this and the remaining books of Torah. The masculine singular for Israel, the son, occurs repeatedly. No imperative is addressed to Israel other than in the form of the masculine singular. There is no hint in any passage that the reader should think of Israel as feminine. The book of Deuteronomy brings to fullness the theme of Israel as the son of God. The focus on sonship suggests responsibility and growth for the individual, Israel.
