1 | Any suggestions for commentaries? | Ps 119:1 | Turk Fowler | 236194 | ||
Thank you, Doc. I am definitely looking for instruction, knowledge and place a premium on wisdom. That being said, what external commentaries or sources do you recommend to dig deeper into the verses. I'm trying to use the Talmud but it's not an easy source to understand. Thank you, Doc. | ||||||
2 | Good Commentaries on Proverbs? | Ps 119:1 | Turk Fowler | 236187 | ||
I'm asking as a way to gain insight that I don't have. I'm reading (with some difficulty) some things from the Talmud and was wondering what other commentaries might give me insight into the culture, thus enlightening the context of the verses. I'm unsure of what you mean by "prompting" but am guessing you suspect other motivations than learning, in which I have none. I do appreciate any help you have. If you don't the answers, I certainly don't mind and will dig a little on my own. Thank you again. | ||||||
3 | Were there Hebrew commentaries? | Ps 119:1 | Turk Fowler | 236172 | ||
It appears to me they may have been referring specifically to something beyond the Pentateuch but I'm not familiar enough with Old Testament history to know. I guess I was digging a little deeper but don't of any textual help with the context and Jewish traditions. Was it primarily oral or written? Were there extra-biblical texts of priestly commentary that enlightened scripture? I appreciate your help. |

4 | Is "discernment" from God or study | Ps 119:1 | Turk Fowler | 236166 | ||
Proverbs Chapter 1 "To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding," Were there specific "sayings of understanding" being referred to here and what were they? Is "discerning" the "sayings of understanding" a reference to the fact that discernment was only open to believers or just encouragement to read carefully? |
