I could find in the Bible more instances of Jahweh's cruelty and barbarity and lack of mercy than I can find room for. In Deuteronomy, the Lord hardens the heart of Sihon, King of Hesbon, to resist the Jews, and then "utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city."
I have already instanced Jahweh's injustice in cursing the seed of Adam for Adam's sin, and in destroying the whole animal creation, except a selected few, because he was angry with mankind. And again Jahweh acted in blind wrath and injustice, for he sent a pestilence, which slew seventy thousand of the people for David's fault. But David he allowed to live.
It is J. who describes the story of Jacob wrestling with some mysterious person, who, by inference, is Jahweh. He tells a very strange story in Exodus iv. 24, that when Moses was returning into Egypt, at Jahweh's own request, Jahweh met him at a lodging-place, and sought to kill him. In Exodus xiv. 15 it is said Jahweh took the wheels off the chariots of the Egyptians.
But let us look further into the accounts of this original God of the Christians, and see how he comported himself, and let us put our examples under separate heads; thus: Jehovah's Anger Jahweh's bad temper is constantly displayed in the Bible. Jahweh made a man, whom he supposed to be perfect.
