Part A — Doctrine Matrix (Registry-Consistent)
| # | Doctrine (registry key) | Portuguese Doctrine Name | Risk | Supporting Passages (1 Chronicles) | Translation Risk Summary | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | genealogical_continuity | a genealogia e a continuidade do povo de Deus | Medium | 1:1–9:44; 9:1 | Chs. 1–9 assert unbroken covenant identity from Adam through the exile; lexically stable terms (“genealogia,” “gerações”), but pastoral risk of readers/translators treating names as inert filler rather than a theological argument. | Native speaker review |
| 2 | divine_election_over_birthright | a eleição divina sobre o direito de primogenitura | High | 5:1–2; 2:3–4 | Reuben’s forfeited birthright transferred to Joseph while kingship runs through Judah; shares the baseline’s High-risk “eleição” doctrinal ground (sovereign, not merit-based, choice); guard against a Kardecist merit-across-lifetimes misreading of why one line was chosen. | Human theologian |
| 3 | levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order | o culto e a ordem levítica | High | 6:1–81; 9:10–34; 23:1–27:34 | ”Sacerdote” (kohen) must never be rendered “padre” (imports a modern Roman Catholic parish-clergy category). Ordered, appointed rotation of personnel is the point, not ad hoc ministry. | Human theologian |
| 4 | holiness_in_worship | a santidade no manejo das coisas sagradas | High | 13:1–14; 15:1–16:3 | Uzza’s death (ch. 13) and its positive correction (ch. 15, poles, consecration) teach that access to what is santo requires Spirit-appointed order, not spontaneous enthusiasm; must avoid both ritualistic-sacramental and Kardecist gradualist-purification misreadings. | Human theologian |
| 5 | davidic_covenant_reaffirmed | a aliança davídica reafirmada | Critical | 17:1–15 (core); 11:1–3; 14:1–2; 22:6–10; 28:2–7 | The triple wordplay on בַּיִת/“casa” (David’s palace / God’s desired temple / God’s dynastic house for David) is the book’s theological pivot and the OT root of NT Davidic-messianic hope. Every occurrence’s specific sense must be recoverable from context or a translator note, or the doctrine collapses into a building narrative. | Human theologian |
| 6 | sonship_typology_solomon_and_christ | a filiação pactual de Salomão e sua tipologia cristológica | Critical | 17:13; 22:9–10; 28:6 | 17:13 establishes covenantal father-son sonship with Solomon that Hebrews 1:5 typologically reapplies to Christ. Must not collapse Solomon’s adoptive covenantal sonship into Christ’s unique ontological Sonship (baseline “Filho de Deus”), nor deny this verse’s own historical meaning. | Human theologian |
| 7 | messianic_anointing | a unção messiânica | High | 11:3; 14:8 (implied kingship); 29:22 | David’s and Solomon’s anointings are the historical root-events behind the later title “Messias” (Critical in baseline). Must be taught as direct root of that title, not detached generic ANE court ritual. | Human theologian |
| 8 | covenant_loyalty_chesed | a fidelidade leal da aliança (chesed) | High | 17:13; 16:17; 16:34, 41 | God grounds his promise in his own unchanging chesed, contrasted with its removal from Saul. Must not flatten to generic “misericórdia” or romantic “amor”; guard against Kardecist merit-accumulated-across-lifetimes readings, per baseline “graça.” | Human theologian |
| 9 | eternal_davidic_throne | o trono eterno de Davi | Critical | 17:12, 14; 22:10; 28:5, 7 | ’ad olam (“forever”) applied to the throne is the textual seed of Christ’s eternal messianic reign (quoted Luke 1:32–33). Softening “para sempre” to a merely long or provisional duration severs the book’s central promise from its NT fulfillment. | Human theologian |
| 10 | divine_pattern_for_temple | a revelação divina do modelo do templo | High | 28:11–19 | The temple design is a bounded, once-given revelation “by the Spirit” to a named historical figure, not human innovation; must be distinguished from Kardecist psicografia’s claim of ongoing mediumistic transcription. | Human theologian |
| 11 | prohibition_of_mediums_and_divination | a proibição de consultar médiuns | Critical | 10:13–14 | The single highest-stakes doctrine introduced beyond the baseline Romans set: Saul’s medium-consultation is covenant treason costing him the kingdom. “Médium” is the ordinary, respected term for mainstream Brazilian Kardecist practice; requires explicit, unsoftened contrast. | Human theologian |
| 12 | personal_spiritual_adversary | o adversário espiritual pessoal (Satanás) | Critical | 21:1 | Chronicles attributes the census-incitement to a personal adversary (contrast 2 Samuel 24:1’s “anger of the LORD”) while still holding David responsible. “Satanás” must not soften into impersonal “força negativa”/“energia,” framings current in Brazilian folk-spiritual/New Age discourse. | Human theologian |
| 13 | providence_over_national_security | a providência de Deus sobre a segurança nacional | Medium | 19:1–20:8; 21:1–17 | Misplaced confidence in military numbers rather than the LORD; distinct application (national security, not personal destiny) of the baseline’s providence concern. | Native speaker review |
| 14 | temple_preparation | a preparação para o templo | Medium | 18:11; 21:18–30; 22:1–19 | David’s material, administrative, and spiritual preparations for a fulfillment he will not personally see; risk is ensuring preparation reads as an act of worship, not mere logistics. | Native speaker review |
| 15 | gods_faithfulness_across_generations | a fidelidade de Deus através das gerações | Medium | 1:1–9:44; 16:15–22; 17:23–27; 28:2–10; 29:10–19 | Spans the whole book; aggregate pastoral risk is treating any single link (name, judge, generation) as insignificant when the book’s argument depends on the unbroken whole. | Native speaker review |
| 16 | human_transience_before_eternal_god | a condição passageira do ser humano diante do Deus eterno | High | 29:15 | ”Strangers and sojourners… days like a shadow” teaches the brevity of one earthly life before an eternal God; must not be assimilated to the Kardecist doctrine of a soul’s passage through many successive earthly lives. | Human theologian |
| 17 | freewill_worship_and_giving | a adoração e a oferta voluntária | Medium | 29:1–9, 14, 17 | Temple funded by grateful, uncoerced worship; risk is ensuring giving is not moralized into a prosperity-gospel-style transaction. | Native speaker review |
| 18 | prophetic_word_and_revelation | a palavra profética e a revelação | Medium | 17:3, 15; 16:22 | Nathan’s oracle is a bounded, authoritative, once-given word/vision, contrasted with his own earlier mistaken counsel (17:2); must be taught as closed, historically specific revelation against Brazil’s live psicografia claim. | Native speaker review |
| 19 | unity_of_gods_people | a unidade do povo de Deus ao estabelecer o rei | Medium | 12:38 | Israel’s unanimous, Spirit-enabled resolve to crown David; narrower application of the baseline’s High-risk “Unity of Jews and Gentiles” doctrine. Risk is ensuring unity reads as God-given consensus, not political expediency. | Native speaker review |
| 20 | inheritance_and_covenant_land | a herança e a terra da aliança | Medium | 2:1–8:40 | Tribal land-allotments are covenant gifts, not merit-earned conquests; risk is primarily interpretive (avoiding a bare real-estate reading). | Native speaker review |
| 21 | levitical_musical_worship_service | o serviço musical levítico de adoração | Low | 6:31–32; 16:4–36; 25:1–31 | Lexically stable, minimal syncretism risk; “cantores,” “louvar” are standard established Bible-translation vocabulary. | Automated review |
| 22 | administrative_organization_of_temple_service | a organização administrativa do serviço do templo | Low | 9:17–34; 23:1–27:34 | Standard, lexically unambiguous organizational vocabulary (divisions, gatekeepers, treasurers); minor imprecision would not distort essential doctrine. | Automated review |
Risk summary (must equal registry totals): Critical 5 · High 7 · Medium 8 · Low 2 · Total 22 · Human theologian required: 12 doctrines · Native speaker review: 8 doctrines · Automated only: 2 doctrines.
Part B — Full-Book Chapter-by-Chapter Coverage
Per the PRD full-coverage mandate, every chapter of 1 Chronicles is accounted for below, whether or not it introduces new doctrinal load. Chapters contributing no new terms or doctrines beyond an already-tabled doctrine are explicitly marked “reviewed — no new doctrinal load.”
| Ch. | Content Summary | Doctrine(s) Engaged (registry key) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adam to Abraham to Esau/Israel genealogy | genealogical_continuity; gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Opens the unbroken-line argument at creation itself; no new terms beyond Part A glossary items. |

| 3 | David’s sons; royal line to the post-exilic generations | genealogical_continuity; davidic_covenant_reaffirmed (background); gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Confirms the dynastic line survived exile — direct narrative support for eternal_davidic_throne’s later claim. |
| 4 | Judah continued; Simeon; the prayer of Jabez | genealogical_continuity; inheritance_and_covenant_land | Reviewed — no new Critical/High doctrine; Jabez’s blessing (4:10) flagged in glossary against prosperity-formula misreading, feeding into freewill_worship_and_giving’s grace-not-merit guard. |
| 5 | Reuben, Gad, half-tribe of Manasseh; birthright transferred to Joseph | divine_election_over_birthright; inheritance_and_covenant_land | Core textual anchor for divine_election_over_birthright (High). |
| 6 | Levi’s genealogy; priestly line; Levitical cities | levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order; inheritance_and_covenant_land; levitical_musical_worship_service (6:31–32) | First full statement of the priestly/Levitical office structure later organized in chs. 23–27. |
| 7 | Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Asher | genealogical_continuity; inheritance_and_covenant_land | Reviewed — no new doctrinal load beyond continuity/inheritance already tabled. |
| 8 | Benjamin’s genealogy, including Saul’s family line | genealogical_continuity | Reviewed — sets up ch. 10’s account of Saul’s death; no new doctrine introduced here. |
| 9 | Resettlement after the exile; gatekeepers and temple servants listed | administrative_organization_of_temple_service; genealogical_continuity; gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Genealogies resume on the far side of exile — visible proof of covenant continuity surviving judgment. |
| 10 | Saul’s death; his unfaithfulness explicitly named, including consulting a medium | prohibition_of_mediums_and_divination; gods_faithfulness_across_generations (negative contrast) | Anchor passage for the Critical-risk medium/necromancy doctrine; theological hinge between Saul’s failure and David’s rise. |
| 11 | David made king over all Israel; capture of Jerusalem; mighty men | davidic_covenant_reaffirmed (narrative background); unity_of_gods_people; messianic_anointing (11:3) | Establishes the kingship that ch. 17 will covenantally confirm. |
| 12 | Warriors who joined David at Ziklag and Hebron; “one heart” to make him king | unity_of_gods_people | Core textual anchor (12:38) for this doctrine. |
| 13 | Ark moved on a cart; Uzza’s death | holiness_in_worship | Negative case study corrected positively in ch. 15. |
| 14 | David’s house built by Hiram; victories over the Philistines | davidic_covenant_reaffirmed (house/casa motif first introduced); providence_over_national_security | ”Casa” (David’s palace) here is the first leg of ch. 17’s triple wordplay — must be tracked forward. |
| 15 | Ark carried properly on poles; Levites consecrate themselves | holiness_in_worship; levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order | Positive correction of ch. 13; establishes the Spirit-appointed-order principle underlying holiness_in_worship. |
| 16 | Ark placed in the tent; David’s psalm of thanksgiving; the everlasting covenant recalled (16:15–22); “touch not mine anointed” (16:22) | covenant_loyalty_chesed; gods_faithfulness_across_generations; levitical_musical_worship_service; prophetic_word_and_revelation (16:22, anointed ones as prophets/kings, not the passage’s main referent but proximate) | 16:17’s “aliança eterna” directly primes the reader for ch. 17’s covenant reaffirmation. |
| 17 | Nathan’s oracle; the Davidic covenant reaffirmed (core passage) | davidic_covenant_reaffirmed; sonship_typology_solomon_and_christ; eternal_davidic_throne; covenant_loyalty_chesed; prophetic_word_and_revelation | Theological center of the entire book and this curriculum; five distinct Critical/High doctrines converge here. |
| 18 | David’s military victories; spoils dedicated to the LORD | temple_preparation | First concrete act of temple-preparation (dedicated metals later used in the temple, cf. ch. 22, 29). |
| 19 | War with the Ammonites and their Aramean allies | providence_over_national_security; gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Reviewed — no new doctrine; illustrates God’s hand in battle outcomes. |
| 20 | Continued wars; defeat of Philistine giants | providence_over_national_security | Reviewed — no new doctrinal load beyond ch. 19’s pattern. |
| 21 | David’s census; Satan’s incitement; the plague; the threshing floor of Ornan purchased | personal_spiritual_adversary; providence_over_national_security; temple_preparation (threshing floor becomes the future temple site, confirmed 2 Chronicles 3:1) | Critical convergence of Satan doctrine with the narrative origin of the temple site itself. |
| 22 | David gathers materials; charges Solomon to build the temple; “rest” theme | temple_preparation | Preparation vocabulary (“preparar”) is the doctrine’s namesake verb here. |
| 23 | Levites numbered and organized by age and duty | levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order; administrative_organization_of_temple_service | Reviewed — extends ch. 6’s Levitical foundation into full administrative structure. |
| 24 | Priestly divisions (24 courses) established | levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order; administrative_organization_of_temple_service | Reviewed — no new doctrine beyond ch. 23’s structural principle. |
| 25 | Musicians (singers) organized into courses | levitical_musical_worship_service | Full development of the office first named in 6:31–32. |
| 26 | Gatekeepers and treasurers organized | administrative_organization_of_temple_service | Reviewed — completes the administrative structure begun in chs. 23–24. |
| 27 | Military divisions; tribal leaders; royal officials | administrative_organization_of_temple_service (civil/military parallel structure); gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Reviewed — extends the ordered-administration principle to civil government; no new Critical/High doctrine. |
| 28 | David’s assembly speech to all Israel; the temple pattern given by the Spirit; charge to Solomon | divine_pattern_for_temple; eternal_davidic_throne (28:5, 7); sonship_typology_solomon_and_christ (28:6) | Second major convergence point of Critical/High doctrines after ch. 17. |
| 29 | Freewill offerings for the temple; David’s prayer of praise; Solomon anointed king a second time; David’s death | freewill_worship_and_giving; human_transience_before_eternal_god (29:15); messianic_anointing (29:22); gods_faithfulness_across_generations | Closing chapter; brings the genealogical arc opened in ch. 1 to rest in a peaceful, divinely sanctioned succession. |
Coverage confirmation: All 29 chapters of 1 Chronicles have been reviewed and mapped above. No chapter is silently omitted; chapters 4, 7, 8, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, and 27 are explicitly marked as contributing no doctrinal load beyond doctrines already tabled elsewhere, per the full-coverage mandate.
This document must be loaded alongside assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json and analysis/08_core_glossary.md before Phase 2 segment translation of 1 Chronicles begins. Any apparent conflict between this document and the registry must be resolved in favor of the registry, and this document corrected to match.
Critical Risk Doctrines
The Davidic Covenant Reaffirmed
Portuguese name: a aliança davídica reafirmada
Key terms: house, casa, covenant, aliança, kingdom, throne
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL: the core passage’s triple wordplay on בַּיִת/casa (David’s cedar palace vs. God’s desired temple vs. the dynastic house God will build for David) is the theological pivot of the entire book and the direct OT root of the NT’s Davidic-messianic hope. ‘Casa’ preserves the Hebrew’s triple range as a translation asset, but every occurrence’s specific sense (palace/temple/dynasty) must be recoverable from context or a mandatory translator note, or the doctrine collapses into a mere building-project narrative.
Covenantal Sonship: Solomon and Its Christological Typology
Portuguese name: a filiação pactual de Salomão e sua tipologia cristológica
Key terms: father, son, Pai, filho
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL: 17:13 (‘I will be his father, and he shall be my son’) establishes a covenantal father-son relationship with Solomon that Hebrews 1:5 typologically reapplies to Christ. This directly intersects the baseline’s Critical-risk ‘Filho de Deus’ doctrine (Christ’s unique, eternal, ontological Sonship). Collapsing Solomon’s adoptive covenantal sonship into Christ’s unique Sonship (or vice versa) either denies Christ’s uniqueness or denies this verse’s own historical meaning — the same collision risk the baseline documents for ‘Filho de Deus’ vs. the general ‘filhos de Deus’ applied to believers in Romans 8, now compounded by an additional historical layer.
The Eternal Davidic Throne
Portuguese name: o trono eterno de Davi
Key terms: forever, para sempre, throne, trono, ‘ad olam
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL: ‘ad olam (‘forever’) applied to the Davidic throne is the textual seed of the doctrine of Christ’s eternal messianic reign, directly quoted in Luke 1:32-33. Softening ‘para sempre’ to a merely long or provisional royal duration would sever this book’s central covenant promise from its NT fulfillment in Christ’s eternal kingship — a Critical-tier failure parallel to the baseline’s treatment of ‘resurrection’ and ‘lord.‘
Prohibition of Consulting Mediums
Portuguese name: a proibição de consultar médiuns
Key terms: medium, médium, necromancer, inquire, buscar o SENHOR
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL: this is arguably the single highest-stakes doctrine introduced by this curriculum beyond the baseline Romans set. 1 Chronicles 10:13 presents Saul’s consultation of a medium as covenant treason severe enough to cost him the kingdom, contrasted with ‘inquiring of the LORD.’ ‘Médium’ is the ordinary, respected term for mainstream Kardecist practice in Brazil, home to the world’s largest self-identified Spiritist population. This passage must be taught with explicit, unsoftened contrast to that mainstream practice, not treated as an obscure ANE cultic footnote.
The Personal Spiritual Adversary (Satan)
Portuguese name: o adversário espiritual pessoal (Satanás)
Key terms: Satan, Satanás, adversary
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL: Chronicles attributes the incitement to number Israel to a personal spiritual adversary (contrast 2 Samuel 24:1’s ‘anger of the LORD’), while still holding David responsible. ‘Satanás’ must not be softened into an impersonal ‘força negativa’ or ‘energia,’ framings with real currency in Brazilian folk-spiritual and New Age discourse; the doctrine requires a personal being distinct from God, operating under, not equal to, God’s sovereignty.
High Risk Doctrines
Divine Election over Natural Birthright
Portuguese name: a eleição divina sobre o direito de primogenitura
Key terms: firstborn, birthright, primogênito
Review routing: Human theologian
5:1-2 explicitly narrates Reuben’s forfeited birthright transferred to Joseph’s sons while the royal/messianic line runs through Judah. This shares the same doctrinal ground as the baseline’s High-risk ‘eleição’ entry (God’s sovereign, not merit-based, choice) and requires the same guard against a Kardecist merit-across-lifetimes misreading of why one line rather than another was chosen.
Worship and the Levitical Order
Portuguese name: o culto e a ordem levítica
Key terms: levita, sacerdote, divisões, porteiros, cantores, ordenança
Review routing: Human theologian
The extensive organizational material (chs.23-27) establishes that God’s worship is administered through an ordered, appointed rotation of personnel, not ad hoc or self-appointed ministry. High risk specifically because ‘sacerdote’ (kohen) must never be rendered ‘padre,’ which in Luso-Brazilian usage denotes a Roman Catholic parish priest and would import an anachronistic institutional-Catholic clerical category into the OT cultic office.
Holiness in the Handling of Sacred Things
Portuguese name: a santidade no manejo das coisas sagradas
Key terms: holy, santo, consecrate themselves, poles, ordinance
Review routing: Human theologian
Ch.13 (Uzza’s death for improperly touching the ark) and its positive correction in ch.15 (Levites who santificam-se and carry the ark on poles ‘as Moses commanded’) together teach that access to and handling of what is santo requires Spirit-appointed order, not spontaneous popular enthusiasm. Shares the baseline’s High-risk ‘holy’/‘sanctification’ concerns; must not be moralized into either ritualistic Catholic sacramental caution or a Kardecist gradualist purification framework.
Messianic Anointing
Portuguese name: a unção messiânica
Key terms: anoint, ungir, Messiah
Review routing: Human theologian
David’s and Solomon’s anointings are the historical root-events behind the later title ‘Messias’ (Anointed One), already Critical-risk in the baseline. High rather than Critical here because the immediate referent is historical kingship rather than the fully developed title itself, but this must be taught as its direct root, not a separate or unrelated royal ritual, to prevent the anointing motif from being read as generic ANE court ceremony detached from messianic promise.
Covenant Loyalty (Chesed) as the Ground of the Promise
Portuguese name: a fidelidade leal da aliança (chesed)
Key terms: chesed, benignidade, fidelidade leal, grace
Review routing: Human theologian
God grounds his promise to Solomon’s line in his own unchanging chesed, explicitly contrasted with its removal from Saul. Must not be flattened to generic ‘misericórdia’ (loses covenant-loyalty dimension) or romantic ‘amor’ (loses binding relational sense), and must be guarded against a Kardecist reading of favor accumulated through good conduct across lifetimes — the same doctrinal guard the baseline applies to ‘graça.‘
Divine Revelation of the Temple Pattern
Portuguese name: a revelação divina do modelo do templo
Key terms: pattern, modelo, planta, tavnit
Review routing: Human theologian
David states the temple’s design came to him ‘in writing from the hand of the LORD… by the Spirit’ — a bounded, once-given revelation to a named historical figure, not human architectural innovation. This must be distinguished from Kardecist psicografia’s claim of ongoing, repeatable mediumistic transcription, per the baseline’s ‘inspiration_of_scripture’ doctrine concern.
Human Transience before the Eternal God
Portuguese name: a condição passageira do ser humano diante do Deus eterno
Key terms: sojourners and strangers, peregrinos e forasteiros, shadow
Review routing: Human theologian
David’s confession that Israel’s people are ‘strangers and sojourners… our days like a shadow’ teaches the brevity of a single earthly life before an eternal God. This must not be assimilated to the Kardecist doctrine of a soul’s passage through a long sequence of successive earthly lives (reincarnation); the biblical image is of one life’s brevity, not a spirit’s multi-life journey — a live and mainstream rival framework in Brazil.
Medium Risk Doctrines
Genealogy and the Continuity of God’s People
Portuguese name: a genealogia e a continuidade do povo de Deus
Key terms: genealogy, generations, sons of, tribe, exile
Review routing: Native speaker review
The nine opening genealogical chapters are a theological claim of unbroken covenant identity from Adam through the exile and return, not antiquarian record-keeping. The main risk is pastoral/homiletical (readers skimming genealogies as irrelevant lists) rather than lexical; ‘genealogia’/‘gerações’ are lexically stable in Portuguese.
Providence over National Security and Numbers
Portuguese name: a providência de Deus sobre a segurança nacional
Key terms: census, numerar, plague, peste
Review routing: Native speaker review
David’s census reflects misplaced confidence in military numbers rather than the LORD. Connects to, but is distinct from, the baseline’s ‘providence’ doctrine concern about Romans 8:28 and the Kardecist ‘lei de causa e efeito’; here the application is to national security rather than personal destiny, and the risk is primarily one of clear narrative causation, not direct terminological collision.
Preparation for the Temple
Portuguese name: a preparação para o templo
Key terms: prepare, preparar, dedicate, threshing floor, eira
Review routing: Native speaker review
David’s extensive material, administrative, and spiritual preparations (though he himself will not build the temple) establish that faithful obedience sometimes means preparing for a fulfillment one will not personally see — a pattern of derived, not diminished, faithfulness. Lexically stable terms; main risk is ensuring the theological point (preparation as an act of worship, not mere logistics) is not lost.
God’s Faithfulness across Generations
Portuguese name: a fidelidade de Deus através das gerações
Key terms: genealogia, aliança eterna, juízes, palavra de Deus, cheio de dias
Review routing: Native speaker review
This doctrine spans the whole book, from the genealogies (ch.1-9) through the everlasting covenant recalled in David’s psalm (16:15-22) to the peaceful succession at the book’s close (ch.29). Terms are individually lexically stable; the aggregate pastoral risk is treating any one link (a genealogical name, a judge, a generation) as insignificant, when Chronicles’ argument depends on the whole unbroken chain.
Freewill Worship and Giving
Portuguese name: a adoração e a oferta voluntária
Key terms: freewill offering, oferta voluntária, willing mind, whole heart
Review routing: Native speaker review
Temple preparation is funded by grateful, uncoerced worship, not obligation or merit-transaction. Shares the baseline’s grace-vs-merit concern in a stewardship rather than soteriological register; risk is primarily ensuring the giving is not moralized into a prosperity-gospel-style transaction.
Prophetic Word and Revelation
Portuguese name: a palavra profética e a revelação
Key terms: word of God, palavra de Deus, vision, visão
Review routing: Native speaker review
Nathan’s oracle is grounded in a bounded, authoritative, once-given prophetic word and vision, explicitly contrasted with his own earlier (mistaken) counsel in 17:2. Given Brazil’s live Kardecist claim of ongoing mediumistic revelation (psicografia), this must be taught as a closed, historically specific revelatory event, not an open or repeatable channel.
Unity of God’s People in Establishing the King
Portuguese name: a unidade do povo de Deus ao estabelecer o rei
Key terms: one heart, coração unido, lev echad
Review routing: Native speaker review
Israel’s unanimous, Spirit-enabled resolve to make David king pictures covenant unity, related to (though narrower in scope than) the baseline’s High-risk ‘Unity of Jews and Gentiles’ doctrine. Risk here is primarily ensuring the unity is understood as God-given consensus, not mere political expediency.
Inheritance and the Covenant Land
Portuguese name: a herança e a terra da aliança
Key terms: inheritance, herança, tribe, tribo
Review routing: Native speaker review
The tribal land-allotments recorded across the genealogies are covenant gifts, not conquests earned by merit. Lexically stable term (‘herança’); the risk is primarily interpretive, ensuring the land-inheritance material is not read as merely historical real-estate record disconnected from covenant grace.
Low Risk Doctrines
Levitical Musical Worship Service
Portuguese name: o serviço musical levítico de adoração
Key terms: singers, cantores, praise, louvar, continually
Review routing: Automated review
The office of appointed singers and the vocabulary of praise are lexically stable and carry minimal syncretism risk in Portuguese; ‘cantores’ and ‘louvar’ are standard, unambiguous Bible-translation vocabulary.
Administrative Organization of Temple Service
Portuguese name: a organização administrativa do serviço do templo
Key terms: divisions, divisões, gatekeepers, porteiros, treasuries, tesouros
Review routing: Automated review
The organizational vocabulary for courses of service, gatekeepers, and treasurers is standard and lexically unambiguous in Portuguese; minor imprecision here would not distort essential doctrine, unlike the priesthood terminology itself (see ‘levitical_priesthood_and_worship_order’).
