581 | Balaam and Balak | Num 31:16 | skccab | 196844 | ||
Shalom Ken, Thank you for the Ch. 31 reference in Numbers. I hadn't gotten that far yet (I'd skimmied throught about ch.28 looking, but stopped short). Thanks to all for your help Cheri |

582 | Reason 4 "6" Cities of Refuge? | Num 35:6 | skccab | 213942 | ||
Shalom Pattycake, I don't know of any significance in the particular number of cities, but I think I can help in the other part of your question. It was an ancient tradition to avenge the killing of a family member. This would be done by the "blood avenger." The cities were to be for refuge for accidental killings, not pre-meditated murder. The accused would find shelter within one of these cities as he awaited the verdict of the "judges" concerning the death. If pre-meditated murder he would pay with his life by the hand of the "blood avenger", there would be no refuge; if accidental (where there was no previous animosity between the two), then he would remain within the city until the death of the current high priest. If he left the confines of the city before that time, then the "blood avenger" could seek his life. (Num. 35:9-33) I pray this helps a bit, and that someone else may have an answer on the specific number of cities, that might be interesting.... Cheri |

Shalom Angela, Yes, I know that numbers very oftem are significant in Scripture, but in this case???? As far as you question about 2 tribal areas per city, I had thought of that for a moment, but the designation was 3 on either side of the Jordan, and if I recall correctly there were only 2 tribes that did not enter the promised land proper, so that figuring wouldn't work.... Sounds like you and your "ladies" are going to have fun...Sorry, though, I can't really help you in the customs thing. I just get little snippets here and there from Talmud, Josephus, teachings, etc. I know very little about the family structure in our Master's time... I know that there are books out there that would be of interest to you, but I don't know of them. I'm sure some of the other SBFers will be able to help you there. :o) Keep us informed on your classes, or email me with updates (in my profile) - it really sounds like you're going to have fun.

584 | divorce? | Deuteronomy | skccab | 194664 | ||
Hey Michael, You have lots of questions :-) Deut. 24:1-5 talks about divorcing a wife and she remarrying and getting a divorce or being widowed, the first husband is not to re-marry her. But it says nothing about the two changing their minds before any other types of arrangements have been done. Cheri |
||||||
585 | divorce? | Deuteronomy | skccab | 194666 | ||
Aaah, nothing wrong with questions at all. It's fun looking up the answers. If the answer is in the Torah, I can find it pretty easily. We just re-rolled our scroll back to Genesis this past Shabbat. The fact other folks are asking you gives the reason why they seemed so disconnected. Cheri |

586 | divorce? | Deuteronomy | skccab | 194668 | ||
I only have 2 midnight shifts but I love 'em! I get so much reading done and have plenty of almost uninterrupted time to listen to teaching CDs and files. I dislike having to work on Shabbat but it's almost like not working, I get paid to listen to teaching CDs!! That's cool! A little something to give you thought: Heb. 8:1-5, especially v4. Shalom Cheri |

Bereans Online.org has an excellent study on Hebrews, with an outline and a workbook to boot, but be warned it's Messianic, a slightly different aspect is studied. I'm on lesson 17 of the 20. | ||||||
588 | divorce? | Deuteronomy | skccab | 194673 | ||
I'm actually looking into starting my own Torah Club with the help of FFOZ (First Fruits of Zion), they have the program: CDs, books, workbooks - I'm just not sure how it would go over here. (By the way, take a peek at that site also :-)Their Messiah magazine is free; I like "free" alot!!!) Don't forget to email, I'll send you lots more. But I don't put too many of them here on this forum. Now read Deut. 6:4-9 :-) Shalom Cheri |

Michael, Here's one last question for you tonight. I"ll even tell you to look for the answer in Gen. 1. Besides the Sabbath, which other day is special and why? Talk to you tomorrow night :-) Cheri |

590 | Books for a high-tean girl to read | Deut 6:7 | skccab | 189088 | ||
hi 00123, Many of the larger Christian book stores have a fiction section including an area for teens. You might look into some of those titles. They range from mysteries to friendships to teenage romance situations. And of course, there's always non-fiction. I remember as a girl how awe struck I was reading about Corrie Ten Boom. And Joni. Hope this helps somewhat cheri |

591 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | skccab | 207076 | ||
Shalom John, Dt. 21:10-13 is talking about an enemy female. Verse 13 says she is to remove the clothing of her captivity (the women would dress nicely in hopes of not being killed) and put on clothing of mourning and mourn her family for a month in the warrior's home. If the warrior changed his mind after the month was up, he could not degrade nor treat her brutally nor sell her; she was to be set free to live in the camp as her "home town" and family had been destroyed and she had been humbled. I think it's understood that she would be obliged to worship the God of Israel who had saved her alive. (I actually marvelled over these instructions - what a wonderful God we serve. He shows concern and compassion even on His enemies!! He gives these women time to mourn their losses before having to face being married to someone who had been an enemy! Also this would give the warrior a chance to see her at her worst - shaven head, short nails, clothes of mourning, red eyes, etc., and then the warrior must treat her gently if he changes his mind. Wow!!) Just a thought along the lines of not marrying the pagans - I believe that was intended that they not go into areas that are alive and well and marry; but this circumstance is talking about a situation where all but the few women that would be marrying the warriors would be killed, so it would be relatively easy to assimilate these women into their religious beliefs. If I've misunderstood your reply, please forgive. This is just my 2cents worth :-) Cheri |

592 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | skccab | 207077 | ||
Shalom Bowler, I have failed to welcome you to the Forum, I have enjoyed following your questions and answers. Just an idea about the difference between Dt 7 and 10. In chapter 7 Moses give the names of seven particular peoples and the reason why not to marry - they were greater than Israel. Although it's not stated in the Bible, could his orders in chapter 10 just be understood by those people involved that the seven previously named were out of the running? were not included in the allowances elsewhere? :-) Cheri |

593 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | skccab | 207081 | ||
Shalom Bowler, It could also be that some of the battles the spoils were to be God's, like Jericho. Absolutely nothing was to be taken from that city (see what happened to Achan when he took a few items that belonged to God!), and other battles the spoils were open for the taking. All the nations mentioned in chapter 7 were to be completely destroyed (but I don't think that that happened). But the cities spoken of in chapter 21 are also spoken of as being completely destroyed except for the few women that would be taken as wives (that's why God gave them time to mourn, the loss of parents, family, friends, homeland). I don't think that allowance is talking about an Israelite man going off into some gentile country and taking a wife, only the few enemy women taken captive in battle. (There were many instances where the order was to keep alive the virgin girls and young children, and livestock.) Again, my understanding of the passages Like you, still learning, and Loving It!!! Cheri |

594 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | skccab | 207082 | ||
Hiya again Bowler, I neglected to address your first sentence. I did not mean that the Israelites couldn't marry from those countries only. They were not to leave them alive at all, not make any treaties or covenants with them nor show them any mercy because "...seven nations greater and mightier than you." Dt 7:1b. :-) Cheri |

595 | Which Enemies Could Israel Marry? | Deut 21:10 | skccab | 207085 | ||
Bowler :-) I think between the two of us, we might just have it! Or at least a beginning of a better understanding, and that's a good start!! Yes? I'm sorry my wording wasn't so good. Cheri |

John, Aaaah, that's OK. Just shows that my Super Bro is a Super humanBro, and we all make mistakes (of which I seem to take the helm - arrrgh). :-) Shalom Cheri |

597 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | skccab | 214559 | ||
Shalom y'all, I'm missing something here, so I need some help. Deut. 23:3 says that a Moabite will "never" enter into the assembly of God. Wasn't Ruth a Moabitess? How do we reconcile a Moabitess joining Israel (and becoming a part of the lineage of Jesus) to Deut. 23:3? What am I missing? Thanks in advance Cheri |

598 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | skccab | 214561 | ||
Thanks John, That's pretty much what I figured, males only. Like I've told you before, when I begin reading Gill, he's sooo good, I forget why I went there. Thanks for being focused for me.....!!!!! Cheri |
||||||
599 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | skccab | 214563 | ||
Hiya, I was thinking in terms of one of the Ammonites/Moabites joining themselves to Israel thru conversion, so I'm not sure of that, cos it would go against the "will not...forever" statement. But I can agree that the women and girls could be exempt from it, maybe even young boys who were still teachable....???? Good discussion, thank you. Cheri |

Shalom again John, Gotcha!! I think we're on the same page, I was asking only in the context of the "OT bible days". I use the NKJV mostly, and it reads like the ESV you quoted, and I knew I was missing something, just couldn't figure out what :o) Cheri |
