The Revelation of Yahweh to
His chosen People was given
to the Israelites and
transmitted from generation to generation
for centuries.
Peter defined the process of
handing down the Revelation
of Yahweh from father to son.
The Greek word for this process
of handing on the Word of
God is paradosis
.
1 Peter 1:18-19
... realizing that you were
ransomed from your futile
conduct, handed on (patroparadotos)
by your
ancestors, not with
perishable things like silver or gold
but with the precious blood
of Christ as of a spotless
and unblemished lamb
