663 | Who were the Canaanites? | Gen 24:3 | azurelaw | 224799 | ||
Dear marigold, Others may have a more comprehensive answer. Here is what I have come up with:- 1/ Canaanites are a cursed people (Gen 9:18-19) 2/ They are immoral and wicked (Gen 10:19, Gen 13:13, Exo 23:23-24, Lev 18:3) Shalom Azure |

664 | How many went with Rebekah to Canaan | Gen 24:61 | azurelaw | 234011 | ||
How many maid servants accompanied Rebekah to the house of Abraham? Just her nurse (V59) or there were more (V61)? Or does V61 mean that those maids arose only to serve Rebekah mount onto the camel, but they did not go with Rebkah except the nurse? Thanks for your help. Shalom Azure |

665 | went to Seir or not | Gen 33:17 | azurelaw | 224778 | ||
Does this verse mean that Jacob did not go to Seir and in V14 he was just cheating Esau for he was still afraid of Esau taking revenge? From what has been portrayed, Jacob seems to be a man of suspicious. Somehow, I would consider that if Jacob did go to Seir and stayed with Esau, the tragedy in Chapter 34 could be avoided. Thanks for your input and Shalom Azure |

666 | went to Seir or not | Gen 33:17 | azurelaw | 224787 | ||
Thanks Searcher, for your input. Yes, for sure God is in control of everything. I, such a fallen human and fallen mind, just could not help to express the "hindsight". Anyway, my point is: Did Jacob go to Seir? I think he did not. But some commentator said he could have gone there but stayed for a short while. Shalom Azure |

667 | Any significance on Deborah's death? | Gen 35:8 | azurelaw | 236389 | ||
I am working on Gen 35. This is what puzzled me: Why was Deborah's death specifically mentioned here while Jacob's mother Rebekah's death was not recorded until chapter 49:31? Some commentary said :- 1/ Deborah could be the one sent by Rebekah to fetch Jacob (27:45). If so, it would be strange to send out such an old woman (though not sure if she went all alone) 2/ Deborah was sent to bring the death news of Rebekah as well. If so, why not make it more specific? If Deborah's death has any significance for Jacob, I don't recall any bible verse mentioning Jacob's relationship with her. The above questions focus on the story context/narrative itself. I would like to take a further step on viewing the chapter. Traditionally, the pentateuch was considered written by Moses. So, when we put our feet in the intended readers' (the ancient Israelites contemporary with Moses) shoes, what does it mean to them concerning this narrative in Jacob's story? Thank you very much for your help. Shalom Azure |

669 | Was Rachel living when Joseph was sold i | Gen 35:20 | azurelaw | 230795 | ||
Dear smyrdell, Most probably Rachel was still alive when Joseph was sold. See Genesis 37:10. Shalom Azure |

670 | Was Rachel living when Joseph was sold i | Gen 35:20 | azurelaw | 230796 | ||
Dear smyrdell, In addition to my previous post, please also read Genesis 48:7 where Jacob told Joseph about the death of his mother. So, it is pretty certain that Rachel was still alive before he was sold. Shalom Azure |

Dear elliebar, Welcome to the forum. Jacob has 2 wives : Leah and Rachel. Most probably Jacob was referring to Leah. Hope this helps. Shalom Azure |

673 | no imtimacy? | Gen 43:14 | azurelaw | 218218 | ||
"...your other brother..." This expression sounds odd to me. Israel (Jacob) seemed unloving to Simeon. He did not address his name. The translation of my Chinese Bible even convey a sense of distance (no intimacy) like "that brother of yours". [This is just like when I had a fight with my husband about our daughter, I would say "your daughter..."...:-)] Was it because he (Jacob) was still angry with his sons for the lost of Joseph? Thanks for your input. Shalom Azure |

Dear Grace, Please see Gen 50:25 Exo 13:19 Shalom Azure |
||||||
675 | Bring my Bones back | Gen 50:25 | azurelaw | 216516 | ||
Dear Grace, You are welcome. You may call me Azure which is my name :-). As far as I understand the verse, that is only the last will of Joseph's before he died. Of course, I also believe God makes use of it as a reminder to the Israelite of their origin (the Chosen nation) not to be satisfied with their lives in Egypt as it was not their destination. I am sorry that I do not agree with your preacher's interpretation and application on the verse and I don't find any scriptural support on his notion. Shalom Azure |

676 | Bring my Bones back | Gen 50:25 | azurelaw | 216517 | ||
Dear Grace, Hi, again. In addition, God's blessings and love to those who love Him will be extended to his children. Read the 2nd commandment in Deut 5:9-10. I think there are some more verses about God's abundant blessings to those faithful and their children can be found in Psalm. However, we have to be mindful that we (or our children) should stay humble and faithful to our Lord. Read Roman chapter 11. Shalom Azure |

677 | what was the difference in the red sea a | Exodus | azurelaw | 189811 | ||
Dear 300, Can you be more specific with your question? Nevertheless, my short answer regarding their obstacles is: their lacking of faith and disobedience. Does it sound familiar with you concerning our daily lives? Shalom Azure |

678 | Did God really speak the Ten commandment | Exodus | azurelaw | 191588 | ||
Dear skscott, Welcome to the forum. What kind of authority you are seeking but God's Word - the Bible. :-) Please read Exodus 19:16 to 20:23. Hope this helps. Shalom Azure |

679 | Psalms 1:2-3? | Exodus | azurelaw | 199132 | ||
Dear Nandi, Kindly note that context is very important in studying the Bible. May I suggest you go to the below site where you can find sound biblical commentary for better understanding. http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ Meanwhile, I would not hold the view that the depicted picture in Psalm 1:2-3 properly relates to Eden. Rather I view it in parallel to John 15:1-15 where Jesus is the vine and we are the branches to abide in Him to bear fruit. Shalom Azure |

680 | Resurrection Day, not easter! | Exodus | azurelaw | 215254 | ||
Dear justme, Is there a term covering the period (i.e. Friday, Saturday and the Lord's Day) instead of using the pagan term "easter"? For me, Resurrection Day is precisely the Lord's Day (i.e. Sunday). What do you call Friday - the day Jesus suffered? The pagan term "easter" generally viewed as the 3 days covered in our culture. However, in Chinese, it means exactly "Resurrection". We also have a term for Friday as the Lord's Suffering Day (this is my translation). Shalom Azure |
