What was one of the 613 rules of the Jewish Law?
One of the 613 rules and regulations of the Jewish Law was a Sabbath-day walking limit: a person could walk only so many furlongs on the Sabbath. It illustrates how the Law had degenerated into a list of regulations and stipulations.
Les explains that the Law was pure when given on Mount Sinai, but over 1500 years it became watered down and degenerated. By the time of Christ, the Law had become 613 rules and regulations, one of which limited how many furlongs a person could walk on the Sabbath day. Les notes this was part of all the stipulations that turned Judaism into a religion with no saving power, though a few true believers remained.
