Ancient religions had requirements for admission into sacred spaces - usually sacrifices and purification rites. The requirements had nothing to do with true beliefs or moral behavior. This was true of pagan religions and of many in ancient Israel as well. There was, however, a philosophical school in ancient Israel that was particularly concerned about truth and morality. We consider an ancient Israelite poem that gives conditions for entering Yahweh's tent. What are the conditions? Not animal sacrifices or other typical ritual demands, but instead, the conditions are exclusively moral, and the description of the moral conditions makes it evident that the author was a proponent of truth-based morality.
If the poem sounds familiar, you've probably read translations of it before. It's known as "Psalm 15" in the book of Psalms of the later Hebrew tradition and "Psalm 14" in the book of Psalms of the later Greek tradition. Originally, though, the poem was an independent composition. Since ancient naming traditions often named something according to the first line, this poem might have originally been called, "Yahweh, Who May Travel Into Your Tent?" The translation of the poem in this podcast is my own translation: Not A Bible Translation.
