Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

A Torah obedient Gentile is superior to a Torah despising Israelite 
King Saul enjoyed a pure Israelite bloodline [being from the tribe of Benyamin], yet God rejected him. On
the other hand, king David was the offspring of a Gentile (Moabite) Women, yet God made him King over all
pure bloodline Israelites. 
Beware never to disregard Divine truth, even when the latter seems to spring from non conventional 
sources (pagan people and enemies included!) 
God’s Law puts words of wisdom into the lips of a donkey («And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and 
she said unto Balaam: “
What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
”… And 
the ass said unto Balaam: “
Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? 
was I ever wont to do so unto thee?” And he said: “Nay”
»- Numbers 22:28-30, J.P.S., 1917 Edition). 
But, do animals actually speak? Of course not! What then is Torah trying to teach with such narrative? Well, 
it’s aim is to point at the idea that “God’s word, is God’s word”; and therefore we will do good paying heed 
to it, no matter what the source may be, and no matter if it is uttered by Jews, or by Samaritans; By 
Christians, or Muslims; by Monotheists, or Polytheists”. 
And from whence do we learn the former to be true? We learn it from King Josiah. You see, story goes that 
the Creator had spoken directly unto an Egyptian Pharaoh named “Necho”, sending the latter upon a Divine 
mission: to wage war against his enemies (the Assyrians). Necho goes on and let Josiah know about the 
Divine message he had received but, though a righteous and God fearing king, Josiah foolishly disregards 
Pharaoh’s words [which came from the very mouth of God!], thinking that a pagan person can never be the 
herald of Divine truth. In the end, the Jewish king decides to oppose [and thereby hinder] Pharaoh’s mission, 
not realizing that, by so doing, he was actually opposing God [a grave and often deadly mistake!]. 
245


As is written: “After all this, when Josiah had prepared the Temple. Necho king of Egypt came up to fight 
against Carchemish by Perath and Josiah went out against him. But he sent messengers to him, saying, What 
have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah?
