161 | How could Rahab be mother of Boaz? | Num 6:23 | greentwiga | 140293 | ||
It is worse than you think. Amminadab was the father-in-law to Aaron and father to Nashon, who was the head of the tribe of Judah during the 40 years of wandering, and so died in the desert. There is at least 400 years covered by Salmon, Boaz, and Obed. This is an example of telescoping geneologies. This was standard practice at the time. Father in this context meant ancestor (through the male line.) They kept more complete lines elsewhere, and only used the shorthand here. Later, the Jews lost parts of the longhand accounts.

162 | how many years did it take | Gen 6:14 | greentwiga | 140238 | ||
gen 3 says God will wait 120 years before destroying the world. 6:10 lists Noah's three sons as having been born. 11:10 says that Shem was 97 when he got on the boat. 6:22 has Noah building the Ark, and 7:1 has Noah getting on the Ark. The building could be anywhere between a few months to 97 years. I was just going by standard boat building techniques, which fit the scenario perfectly. Unless the Bible specifies differently, I use outside sources to understand. The miracle was not styated to be boat building, but the flood DouglasS |

I was studying the Bible and realized that it seemed to be saying the Ark was an ocean going reed boat. The ancient Sumerians were experts at these boats and could have built it in a few months. Greentwiga |

Dear CDBJ; I am a fundamentalist Biblicist and came to the conclusion after delving deep into scriptures. Looking for the four rivers, I realized that the location had to be where fig trees grew. I then homed in on a Mountain in southern Turkey called Karacadag as the location. It divides its watershed into four major rivers or tributaries. Then looking for other biological clues, I saw that Adam was cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. Thus he had to grow wheat. He was also the first farmer. I researched the first domesticated foods (plants of the field) The center of wild lentils is in this area, Chickpeas only grow in this area, but the clincher was wheat. Scientists did a genetic study and concluded that wheat had been domesticated only once, from the wild wheat growing around Karacadag. I insisted that my conclusions agree completely with the Bible, but I prefer if it also agrees reasonably well with all the extra Biblical evidence. Greentwiga |

165 | Distance of Promise Land? | Exodus | greentwiga | 140096 | ||
The time depends on the speed of the travel. When traveling up the east side of the dead sea in preparation to attack Jericho, they traveled about 11 miles per day, a decent pace for children and herds. That would have been 19 days from Goshen to Hebron (abt 200 mi). Some think that they traveled 200 miles in 5 days to get to Ezion Geber for the crossing of the Red Sea. Of course, traveling so fast would have left them unfit for battle. | ||||||

168 | knowledge of good and evil | Gen 3:1 | greentwiga | 140093 | ||
The Hebrew word for evil means useless because it is broken. Other words mean useless because worn out etc. The word for evil is translated wicked when used of breaking the marriage covenant and temple prostitution. It is translated evil when breaking a covenant with God or a business contract. The sin was learning to break covenants, specifically the covenant with God not to eat of the fruit of the tree. | ||||||
