Many male dominated laws are recorded. Yet, Yahweh is ever present who "turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you". Ceremonial cleanness is demanded "because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to save you". In the words of Michael Piazza we have a "tendency to read the Bible like history rather than mystery". Hidden in the legalistic jargon of organizing a community into a civil society we see "impressions" that suddenly these people "were transformed, empowered, and emboldened". They were continually aware of a saving presence of an invisible God.
