542 | Why translations use LORD not Yahweh? | Ex 3:15 | skccab | 198603 | ||
Shalom James 008, I am just beginning to learn Hebrew, but I think I may know enough to answer your question. Biblical Hebrew has no vowels, only vowel symbols which were created long after the Torah scrolls were written. (They are used in Hebrew Bibles but still not in the Torah scrolls.) No one really knows what vowel sounds were originally given to the Tetragrammatron (spelling?) yod-hei-vav-hei. For that matter, people who use the word Yahweh, I think, have it wrong, for in Biblical Hebrew there is no "W" sound (in modern Hebrew the vav can be either a "V" sound or a "W' sound.) Anyway, I think that's the main reason the translators don't use the name "Yahweh," because no one knows for sure just how to write it out correctly. Or, it could be that they took their cue from the Jewish people who don't use the name for that reason, as well as they believe the name to be too holy to utter. I hope this helped a bit Cheri |

543 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | skccab | 198234 | ||
Shalom Hadassah, Since your question posted 4 times, I'll go ahead and try to answer at least your first question; someone more knowledgeable may answer both much better. In Exod. 2:8 we're told that Moses' birth mother was paid to nurse him and remembering Isaac's feast at being weaned at 5 years of age, I think we can safely figure they had 5 years together. She surely shared his heritage with him. And in Exod. 2:11 we're told that Moses was aware of his lineage with the Hebrews. The burning bush episode begins in 3:2 and appears to go on until 4:17. We are not told how much time passed from verse 17 to verse 20 - hours? days? weeks? In Exod 4:20 we're told that Moses began his journey back to Egypt and in verse 24 at some emcampment God sought to kill him. We are not told how much time passed between those four verses, but it must have been at least 1 or 2 days. You would think (and I'll bet God thought so too) that the man who was going to rescue his brethren from Egypt would at least have circumcised his own sons by now (remember, he knew he was born a Hebrew). How would the Hebrew elders receive Moses if they found out that his sons were not circumcised? There may be more to the story than what I'm seeing, but this is how I understand it :-). Your question about Pharaoh is a good one, but I don't have an answer. I'll be watching this thread to see what others will tell you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Cheri |

Shalom budderfligh, Just thought I'd give you some info on Greg Koukl. I don't agree with everything he says, but he says it in such a way that I will usually at least take a second or third look at how I see things. He hosts a weekly radio call-in show which you can download or listen to on-line. It's quite an interesting show, actually, or at least on long, lonely midnight shifts it makes for a good listen. The website is called Stand to Reason, you can google it. Cheri |

545 | why did God wait ? | Ex 4:24 | skccab | 207802 | ||
Vblocal, Welcome to the forum!! Are you talking about the circumcision of Moses' sons? Scripture doesn't say why the boys were not circumcised first. But God works in patterns, and He was about to redeem Israel from slavery in Egypt, and His redemption is "free." He redeems first and then shows one how to live the life of a redeemed person.

547 | significance of 4 requests specifically | Ex 12:11 | skccab | 188031 | ||
Hi Jellybean and InGod, In Ex. 11:8 the Lord thru Moses says: And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. It sounds like the Israelites would be "sent" out (to put it kindly) after the angel of death had gone thru the land, and that's why they were told to eat this first passover dressed ready to be on the move quickly. any other thoughts? blessings cheri |

548 | Murder vs Killing | Ex 20:1 | skccab | 212010 | ||
Dear Kamschoolgrad, You've got it pretty right on. I, too, have many disconcerting questions about things that we are supposed to do (or not do) but for one reason or another we don't or cannot. These, I just have to put down to Deut. 29:29 and figure we'll get the answers we need soon enough. Doesn't that sound like a horrible cop-out? But after much prayer and advice-seeking from pastors and rabbis that's the best I can do. And the best I can say is - observe to do what God commands in His glorious Torah to the best of your ability (and of what the law of your land allows you to observe and do) - and that is ALL that you can do with a good conscience. And, remember, that thru Messiah's finished work on the cross, we are not BOUND to or UNDER the curse of not observing all the Law, but we are FREE to receive the blessings of observing the commands of the Lord. Hallelujah!! Praise God for His Mercies endure forever. Amen? Amen!!! Sorry I couldn't be of MORE help. Cheri |

549 | Must Christians keep the Sabbath today? | Ex 20:8 | skccab | 193341 | ||
God's day to you xcaret, I agree with you that Shabbot is the day that sets apart the nation of Israel (original and grafted-in) but WOS is absolutely right in bringing to your remembrance "that where there are two or three" gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them - on Monday or Wednesday, and, yes, even on Sunday! Please, don't take G-d's Word and beat your brethren up with it! Our G-d is One of love and patience and understanding - I think He'd sooner we all worship him at 3pm on Thursday than we get into strife over it :-). Remember He is our Sar Shalom Cheri |

550 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | skccab | 186718 | ||
HeirofGod, Here is the scripture that describes the unforgiveable sin, and it is not suicide: Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. cheri |

553 | Personal rights predating government | Ex 22:2 | skccab | 199081 | ||
Shalom Doc, You're absolutely right, those "laws" did pre-date Moses - I probably have the spelling wrong but it is(was) called the Hammurabi Code. (There are some differences between the two laws, though.) Anti-Bible people tend to use that to try to take away the divine inspiration of the Bible. (This is all I know about it :-) ). Cheri |

554 | Personal rights predating government | Ex 22:2 | skccab | 199108 | ||
Evening Doc, Yes, I knew you were talking mostly about the inner "knowing" that Paul talks about in Romans, but I thought you were also alluding to the Hammurabi Code that was written prior to the Mosaic Law. Anyway, me foot don't taste tooo awful :-). Cheri |

556 | Colors - Tabernacle/High Priest | Ex 25:3 | skccab | 191664 | ||
Morning all, Over the weekend I was doing a small study of the wilderness Tabernacle from Exodus Ch. 25. As I was reading the description as given to Moses I noticed that the colors for the Tabernacle match the colors for the High Priest's garments, only reversed - the Tabernacle is white from the outer to the inner colors and the priest's are outer colors to the white inside (underneath). Is there any significance to this? Just wondering Cheri |

Thank you, Rabban, You hit it pretty much the way I was looking at it. Just kinda wanted a thumbs up :-) that I was on the right track as I continue in it later tonight. Much appreciated Cheri |

558 | Colors - Tabernacle/High Priest | Ex 25:3 | skccab | 191677 | ||
Hi Doc, I did not ask guidance from any "authority" - you dear folks are all just studiers and learners like me (just WAY further along :-) ). Rabban, by his simple answer, let me know I was heading in the right direction - not over nor under spiritializing the significance of the reversal. I have the e-Sword software and all the wonderful commentaries available in it BUT sometimes so much is said about a particular verse(s) that by the time I'm finished reading all the comments, I've forgotten exactly why I was reading them!! Sorry, getting brain-dead I guess, or does anyone else get lost in them? Cheri |

559 | Leviticus16:8,10,20-22 | Leviticus | skccab | 210965 | ||
Shalom fellow-Ohioan, I think one reason you are getting confused is that you have decided that Azazel is satan. As far as my knowledge goes, the sages don't really know who or what Azazel was/is. The goat for Azazel indeed did carry the sins of the people into the wilderness (and to keep it from returning or winding up somewhere else, it was usually thrown off a cliff, as history records it). There's much more written about this but I don't have the references to state them on the Forum. :o( Cheri |

560 | What caused two of Aarons sons to die. | Lev 10:2 | skccab | 212840 | ||
Greetings MJH You did just fine without spell check!! First of all, let me thank you for your explanation of your previous post (I'm a Sabbath person :o) ). I just wanted to add to this subject my 2cents - Lev. 10:1 says that Nadab and Abihu took fire and incense (which appears to be fire and incense from somewhere other than the God-ordained altars) and my Bible reads that "each took his censor" which leads me to believe that possibly the censors were their own to be used in their homes, again a thing that God did not tell them to do. Mostly, though, look at verses 8-11 - it appears that these men went before the Lord in a drunken state....??? It's not so much that they got drunk, it's that they got drunk and then went before the Lord to do service to Him of their own accord. So it looks like they missed it big time - unholy fire, unholy incense, unholy utensils, and unholy behaviour. You think? :o) Cheri |
