Then [Abraham] said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?”

And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” (Genesis 18:32)

And [Elijah] said, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

Then Yahweh said to him: “. . . Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” (1 Kings 19:14-18)

Suddenly a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, saying, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I am Yahweh’ ”

So Ahab said, “By whom?”

And he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘By the young leaders of the provinces.’ ”

Then he said, “Who will set the battle in order?”

And he answered, “You.”

Then he mustered the young leaders of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he mustered all the people, all the children of Israel—seven thousand. (1 Kings 20:13-15)

For the sake of seven thousand faithful—no, rather, by means of the faithfulness of seven thousand, and nothing else—God’s judgment is stayed.

For they are not all Israel who are of Israel. (Romans 9:6)

We saw that Jesus is the sense of the word.

And we know that the church is his body, totus Christus.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. (1 Cor 12:27)

Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? (Acts 26:14)

Therefore the church is the sense of the word.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
​​Because He has anointed me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
​​To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19)

Also Jeshua, . . . and the Levites, helped the people to understand the law; and the people stood in their place. So they read distinctly from the book, in the law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading. (Nehemiah 8:7–8)

So he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And he was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written:

“The spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he has anointed me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” (Luke 4:16–21)

Jesus the living word is the sense of the word.
