COMO'S
Volume Defines Biblical
Attitude Toward Miracles
Biblical Hebrew has no
word corresponding to the
English "miracle" (Ex. 3:20;
Josh. 3:5; Ps. 78:11; etc.),
but, says the Encyclopaedia
Judaica, the meaning of
"wonder" is much broader
than "miracle."
A particular class of mir-
acles, however, can be con-
sidered as a definite biblical
concept, since it is desig-
nated by terms of its own.
These are the "signs", i.e.,
extraordinary and surpris-
ing events which God
brought about in order to
demonstrate His power and
will in particular situations,
when men had to be con-
vinced. A sign can be given
turned into a serpent to
show that Moses was indeed
sent by God (Ex. 4:1-7); the
10 plagues coerced Pharaoh
to accept the divine com-
mand and let the people go.
Some biblical miracles
are more than signs, in
that their purpose goes
beyond the mere proof of
divine power. Israel was
saved and Egypt's army
destroyed by the parting of
the Red Sea, the people
were given water and food
in the desert by means of
miraculous acts, and so
on.
Such miracles can be
viewed as direct divine in-
tervention at critical mo-
ments of human history.
Even in these incidents the
element of a "sign" is never
wholly absent.
There is a third type of
miracle in the Bible in
which the sheer admiration
of the wonder-worker seems
more important than both
elements discussed above.
One cannot escape this im-
pression when reading the
stories about Elijah and, to
an even greater degree,
about Elisha. Such stories
are a regular feature of pop-
ular religion of all times and
in all places — in the Bible
— they are almost entirely
confined to the figures of
these two "nonliterary"
prophets.
The problem of whether
miracles are "natural" or
"supernatural," which
was of concern to scholars
of later ages, does not
bother Bible writers. In
one case (Num. 16:30) a
miracle is described as a
"creation", which indi-
cates an awareness of
what moderns might call
the "suspension of natural
laws" (see also Ex. 34:10).
On the other hand, the
miracle of the descent of
the quail (Num. 9:18-23) is
quite plainly and clearly
described as a "natural"
— though unexpected —
occurence and yet is
treated as a full-scale mir-
acle.

The Bible does not, as a
rule, tell miracle stories for
their own sake, but it does
regard the "signs and won-
ders" of God as extremely
important. Man has to know
that God can do anything.
whenever and wherever He
chooses; that this has been
demonstrated in history
many times, and the sacred
history of Israel has been
shaped often enough by di-
rect and quite evident divine
intervention. Faith that can
do without this notion of
miracles is possible, but
unthinkable in biblical
terms.
Law Confab Rules
`Embargoes Illegal'
TEL AVIV — A seven-
man panel of jurists ruled
by a five to one majority at
the World Conference on
Law in Washington Oct. 17
that economic boycotts and
embargoes levelled against
third countries for political
reasons are illegal under
international law.
The jurists also decided
that countries imposing
such sanctions must pay
reparations to third-party
states financially injured by
the discriminatory actions.
The panel of judges,
drawn from more than 4,000
lawyers, judges and law
professors from 140 coun-
tries, included the Chief
Justices of Ireland, Trini-
dad-Tobago, Finland, the
Philippines, Norway, the
Sudan and Israel.
By large majorities, the
delegates also ruled that
acts of terrorism are con-
trary to international law
and should be considered
crimes. Arab delegates dis-
sented.
