Key Observation

The concept tool mapped H6440 (panim/face) to the WORSHIP concept. The expanding circles show extensive use of panim/face language throughout Moses' writings and the broader OT — "before the LORD," "before your faces," "see my face," "in my presence." This confirms that "al panay" (before my face) in Exo 20:3 is a spatial/relational phrase denoting God's presence.

  1. 1 Chronicles 17:20 [OBEDIENCE] — "O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears."

Key Observation

The concept tool mapped H8085 (shama, "hear") to the OBEDIENCE concept. The Shema is not merely about hearing information — shama carries the sense of hearing AND obeying. The same-chapter result (Deu 6:3, 13) reinforces this: hearing God's oneness leads to fearing, serving, and obeying Him alone. Note especially 1 Chronicles 17:20 which links hearing with the confession that there is no God beside YHWH.

1 Corinthians 8:4 — concept_context.py "1CO 8:4"

Result: "No theological concepts found in 1CO 8:4"

Note: The concept context tool did not find any tagged theological concepts in this verse. This is a limitation of the tool's tagging system, not an indication that the verse lacks theological content. The verse's content ("an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one") is directly relevant to the first commandment but was not tagged with a concept in the tool's database.
