15. Original meaning Latin : Proto Ido-European *pak- fasten, link, attach Semitic : *slm, sound, whole, uninjured

16. Peace as to pay Exodus 22:7 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the mans house; if the thief be found, let him pay double. Quran 2:233 Divorced mothers shall nurse their infants two full years, if the father so wishes. The father shall provide the mothers food and clothing equitably. No one shall be burdened beyond his ability. No mother shall be harmed on account of her infant, nor shall the father be harmed because of his infant. (If the father dies), his inheritor shall assume these responsibilities. If the infants parents mutually agree to part, after due consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing mothers, so long as you pay them equitably. You shall observe GOD, and know that GOD is Seer of everything you do.

17. Idea of a sacrifice to appease God Gen 22:7 Ram substituted for Isaac as burnt offering . Exo 20:22-24 burnt offerings and peace offerings peace offering = , shelem Quran 5:97 GOD has appointed the Ka`bah, the Sacred Masjid, to be a sanctuary for the people, and also the Sacred Months, the offerings (to the Sacred Masjid), and the garlands marking them. You should know that GOD knows everything in the heavens and the earth, and that GOD is Omniscient.

18. Yet God says Your offerings I did not desire Ps 40:6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. Hos 6:6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Ps 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Quran 29:6 Those who strive, strive for their own good. GOD is in no need of anyone. Quran 35:15 O people, you are the ones who need GOD, while GOD is in no need for anyone, the Most Praiseworthy.

19. Peace as Contract Ps 7:4 if I have repaid my ally with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, Gen 9:11 I establish my covenant with you [Noah], that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. Gen 17:4 Behold, my covenant is with you [Abraham], and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. Quran 2:63 We made a covenant with you [Moses], as we raised Mount Sinai above you: "You shall uphold what we have given you strongly, and remember its contents, that you may be saved."

20. Yet, transgressors excluded from covenant Matt 3:9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father, for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Quran 2:124 Recall that Abraham was put to the test by his Lord, through certain commands, and he fulfilled them. (God) said, "I am appointing you an imam for the people." He said, "And also my descendants?" He said, "My covenant does not include the transgressors."

21. Contradiction ? God orders sacrifices to be made in His honour then says offerings I did not desire . God speaks of a covenant but then says transgessors are excluded. And he is the only judge of who is a transgressor. What is the meaning of this ?

22. Peace in Arabic: Submission Quran 2:131 When his Lord said to him [Abraham], "Submit," he said, "I submit to the Lord of the universe." Out of 141 occurrences of the root SLM in the Quran, 79 are of words expressing the idea of submission. What does submission mean ?

23. Submission = Surrender SLM words sometimes translated as Surrender What is surrender ? Example of Vercingetorix surrendering to Caesar. Surrender is humiliation (ego crushing). The consequence of surrender is captivity (slavery).

24. Submission = Surrender Quran 1:5 iyyka nabuduwa-iyyka nastanu Root of nabudu = abad = slave Quran 2:54 Recall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshipping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful. Isaiah 53:10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

25. Peace Submission no Submission no Peace Opposite of Submission is Rebellion If we rebel against God, we are at war with Him. We lose. Being at war with God means being at war with everybody because God controls everything. Chaos, insecurity, etc.

26. Practising Submission Giving freely of our time and money for Gods work as if we were trying to appease a dangerous monster. Trying anxiously to follow Gods commands as if we were trying to fullfill an all-important contract. Feeling meek and crushed in spirit as if we were vanquished slaves who had just surrendered to a victorious conqueror.
