1 | difference between the soul and spirit? | Bible general Archive 4 | Michael Draves | 196994 | ||
'Ruach' in Hebrew which is sometimes translated 'spirit' can also be translated as 'breath' or 'wind'. 'Ruach' is used in Eccl 3:18-21 to refer to animals as well as people. 18 I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts." 19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity. 20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust. 21 Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth? 22 I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot For who will bring him to see what will occur after him? |

Deut 13:1 "If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, Deut 13:2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,' Deut 13:3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 2 Cor 12:1 Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Cor 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor 12:3 And I know how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows-- 2 Cor 12:4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. |

lionheart I see I owe you a response I was taught about the relationship Amenemope/ Amenope/ Amenhotep/ Amen-em-Ope to Proverbs in a college class. The footnote on the NRSV says 22:17-24:34 is related to Amen-em-ope. When I did a google search for comparisons the ones listed seemed relevant. The critical apparatus of the BHS for this sections says 5 times "cf doctrinam Amenemope". If you do a books.google.com search on "A. AMENEMOPE AND PROVERBS" you should see a google books entry for "PROVERBS 1031: Volume 18 - Page 753". This is Proverbs 10-31, Volume 18 by Michael V. Fox who is a Jewish scholar. Scroll down and see the line "In 1924, the Egyptologist Adolf Erman argued that Proverbs 22:17-24:22 was a translation of sayings from the Wisdom of Amenemope (Erman 1924a)." see "Fine Àgyptische Quelle der 'Spruch Salomos". I don't read German. It was proposed there were 30 possible sayings in Proverbs 22:17-24:22 to possibly corresponding to 30 chapters Amenemope. Obviously 30 sayings can't be a translation of 30 chapters and those that are proposed to correspond are not all in the same order though in the book by Fox he does mention a small section with a tighter correspondance of thought. I didn't decide how to respond then and noticed it now when I returned. There is some correlation of thought but it's not a translation. You might look at why Whybray changed his opinion against the relationship. "thirty" as a proposed emendation to Prov 22:19 by Adolf Erdman "Amen-em-ope" as a proposed emendation by Gary A. Rendsburg Look how the proposed emendations effect translations: Catholic New American Bible Prov 22:19 That your trust may be in the LORD, I make known to you the words of Amen-em-Ope. Prov 22:20 Have I not written for you the "Thirty," with counsels and knowledge, NASB Prov 22:19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have taught you today, even you. Prov 22:20 Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, NIV Prov 22:19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.

Well g3ills since you have had time to do some research has any of your views of what the Bible is changed? Why do Jews call the Bible the TaNaK? Hint:(What do Torah, Neviim and Kethuvim mean?) What is the JEDP theory? What is the Septuagint and what does it have to do with Christians dividing the Old Testament into 4 types of writings? Though Protestants and Catholics divide the Old Testament the same way Protestants accept the same books as the Jews. What do Protestants call these books (and portions) they reject from the canon and what do Roman Catholics call these books (a portions) that they include? Could any of the Old Testament books be reclassified as some type of mashal? What is the classification for the first three Gospels that John does not fall into? What is the classification for the writings that were written first? Who is accepted as the author of the only Historical book in the New Testament? Name a book that was not accepted into the New Testament? Could any of the New Testament books be reclassified as plays? |

The Tanak is the same as the Old Testament which the Jews divide by the 3 divisions you found and the name is just the first letter of each word with a vowels added so it could be pronounced. Mashal is a broad term for wisdom statments like a proverb or parable. Deuterocanonical is what Roman Catholics call the Apocrypha. In the New Testament of what we have the Epistles were written first. The Pentateuch is the first part of the Old Testament and is the same as the Torah. JEPD is a source theory for the Torah one that used YHWH(Jehovah) for the name of God, one spoke of Elohim, one was concerned with priestly matters and a separate source was proposed for Deuteronomy. Your ability to research is fine and Hank's appraisal of the questions has merit. | ||||||

You should have got hits in a Search engine with Tanak though I may have confused you by putting TaNaK to hint at the sections. Transliteration is a problem also on doing searches because someone might have used Tanak or Tanach or Tanakh in a relevent page. The usual problem with searches is not too little data but too much that is irrelevant. If from your current readings you want to investigate something further search on the words from it that would not come up in a typical conversation. If you do need to look up a real Hebrew or Greek word hopefully for now you can use the number from a Strongs concordance and use it in an online lexicon like the ones at www.studylight.org which you may have seen if you got to this web page by way of www.biblegateway.com . Mashal not showing up without specifying a similar concept like proverb may be a search engine ranking problem. If you want to find reasonably priced Christian references you might look at www.ChristianBook.com at least to request catalogs. Before the internet became popular to do exhaustive research on Biblical Topics you would use the printed Religious Periodicals Index Number 1 which has been absorbed into the ATLA (American Theological Library Association) Religion Index whose CD might be available at the nearest Seminary or Bible School Library. |

From your original question I thought maybe it was referring to the man the Good Samaritan helped. With the context of Proverbs did you look at Proverbs 1:10-19. Maybe this pastor just likes to speak that way. |

15 | spanish translation of the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 2 | Michael Draves | 114660 | ||
The Jewish Publication Society translation is based on the oldest existing complete Hebrew Masoretic text, the Leningrad Codex created in about 1010 A.D. . The Septuagint was a translation from Hebrew to Greek of the Tanakh. The Septuagint is very important since the translation was prior to 200 BC. The dead sea scrolls oldest fragment dates to about 270 BC. The Dead Sea scrolls have some texts that agree primarily with the Hebrew Masoretic texts and some are closer the the Septuagint readings. The Latin Vulgate was translated from the Septuagint. All Catholic Bibles will have the texts that are in the Septuagint but not in Hebrew in a Deuterocanonical section that Protestants call the Apocrypha. The Latin Vulgate was translated into Castilian in 1280 and is called the Alfonsina Bible. Other Spanish translations as early as 1430 follow the Hebrew text. The Old Testament in Protestant Bibles follow the order of books in the Septuagint but contain only the text in the Hebrew Tanakh. Wycliff Bible Translators make translations into languages that don't have one. Their translators don't have to know the original Biblical languages. The translators must sign a doctrinal statement. Their primary contribution would be creating a written language where it didn't exist before. They are very skilled at figuring out a language that no outsider knows. |

Acts 17:10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

Commitment seems to be what you mean by "skirting" and is represented by covering with the corner or "wing" of a garment and can be a metaphor for God's love. (see Ezekiel 16:8, Psalm 17:8, 36:7, 61:4, 63:7, 91:4) As for defilement search for "uncover" and also search for "lay" in the scripture search on the right of the screen. Consumation is usually described as "going into". (see Genesis 16:4, 19:31, 29:30, 38:8) There can be some overlap in the words used in both Hebrew and English. Try to interpret Psalm 68:12b-13 and Hosea 4:19a. | ||||||

Your question was marked answered when I responded asking if you were combining 3 passages which I listed. You first responded Yes then responded with a request for an explanation for all of them. I requested that you repost 3 specific questions, 1 for each passage so the responses would come back to you and the first responder can indicate the verse it applies to which future people can lookup. You can of course, as has been suggested, search on a verse on the bottom right search box and click on the green N in a box left of a verse to see notes from other discussions. This one won't appear there because it is marked NT General because I didn't know what you were specifically referring to when I first responded. You can however see this dialog thread by clicking on the title of this response and scroll to the bottom but the answer you want isn't there. Post new specific questions if you want someone to answer. | ||||||
