Pam Hartman for Greg. Stephen Hartman
Is there a pattern to imperativities? Looking at New Bible Commentary, I see that the last 8 (a significant number) of The Twelve (minor prophets) are chronological! This could point to Jesus, as having fulfilled the chronology.
Now, I see 371 (I counted them) imperativities in the New Testament, but are they a chiasm, or alternating inside the church and toward the unconverted? Or maybe there's a Hebrew Cadence.
Cascione ('Repetition in the Bible') says that significant numbers of words/concepts are in the Gospels, as they were in Moses. (From Casuto through Jordan, etc.)
Is the first--a way to start--somehow related to the last command?
Etc.
