Guiding Questions: Micah 6

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. With whom is God to “debate”?
  2. What is the “argument” advanced in Micah 6:3?
  3. Would Micah 6:4-5 indicate a firm familiarity by the prophet with the wilderness experience following the exodus from Egypt?
  4. Does Micah 6:6, referring to Karbanot and confessionals actually inquire or is it a rhetorical statement?
  5. To what might the second part of Micah 6:7 refer in terms of the “first born”?
  6. In essence, then (according to Micah 6:8) what is it that God would want of the faith adherents?
  7. What might be meant by the phrase “walking modestly with your God”?
  8. In the criticizing Micah 6:9-12 — what is the essential transgression that is condemned: improper observances or, rather, economic malpractice?
  9. As a result, what is predicted for this type of conduct (Micah 6:14-15)?
  10. The reference is to Omri and Ahab in Micah 6:16; what were their “practices” which lead to this comparison?
