21 | Who was Abraham's heir before Eliezer? | Genesis | loavesnfish | 232211 | ||
In Genesis 15:2-3, Eliezer, Abram's servant, is the only one left who could inherit from Abram. 1. Was Abram resentful due to losing Lot? Previously, Abram sort of dragged Lot along with him wherever he went, despite God's command to leave his father's family behind. 2. Could this indicate that Abram had adopted his nephew when his brother died? 3. Then when Abram offered Lot his choice of land and he chose Sodom, was he receiving an inheritance of some kind? |

22 | Why did she feed Saul? | John 6:48 | loavesnfish | 233336 | ||
In 1 Samuel 28:21-25 the medium insists on feeding Saul and Saul's servants agree with her. Why does she do this? Does the Bible ever tell what happened to her? | ||||||
23 | 1 Sam. 28:8 guilt by association? | Lev 20:6 | loavesnfish | 232728 | ||
In 1 Samuel 28 Saul, king of Israel, visits the medium at Endor who had escaped his previous order to destroy all the mediums. Leviticus 20:6,27 and Deuteronomy 18:10-12 dictated that mediums and those who used them should be put to death. 1 Sam. 28:8 mentions the two men who went with Saul. Were they also guilty for going along? Should they have refused to obey? Or should they have reported Saul and stoned him? How could they have obeyed God in this situation? | ||||||
24 | What are the books of Revelation 20:12? | Rev 20:12 | loavesnfish | 232156 | ||
In Revelation 20:12 It says "the books were opened" and "the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books." Usually, I have heard the books interpreted as records of the deeds of the dead. Where did this interpretation come from? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that these are the books of the Law which are publicly read to confront people with their sins as Ezra did in Nehemiah 8:1-9 and 9:3? Or as in modern courts where the laws are "on the books" and infractions of them are publicly judged? | ||||||
25 | Zech.14:16-17 key to Ezekiel 40:41, 43? | Zech 14:16 | loavesnfish | 233343 | ||
Ezekiel 40:41,43 shows animal sacrifices on the tables in what many have called the temple of the messianic kingdom. Those who consider this the millennial temple agree that Hebrews 10 makes it clear that Jesus was the last sacrifce needed. These are explained as memorials. In Zechariah 14:16-17 there are mandatory sacrifices made yearly at Tabernacles as a sign of submission to God. Could these be the offerings pictured in Ezekiel 40:41,43? | ||||||
26 | Offerings of Proverbs 7 adulteress? | Proverbs | loavesnfish | 232149 | ||
In Proverbs 7:14-15 the adulteress (of verse 5) mentions having offered peace offerings to fulfill her vows. Is this her way of offering her victim a "steak" dinner (lamb shank or some meat) so he will come home with her? My understanding is that when peace offerings were offered, the people who offered ate the meat at the temple. Or was that only the priestly families? Also in verses 19-20 she says that her husband is on a business trip and won't be back for a long time. How was she able to make an offering without his help? Were women able to make offerings on their own without a male relative? | ||||||
27 | Help me understand how do the parts fit? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232096 | ||
Beja, I am not criticizing your view. I agree that Christ is the Temple as Revelation says. I am just trying to understand how all the parts fit together. It seems to me that a correct understanding should include all the elements, no matter what view one takes. Certainly, according to the view you have expressed, the sacrifices on the tables in Ezekiel 40:43 would signify Christ's sacrifice for us. So the whole thing could represent what was for Ezekiel a work to be accomplished and what is for us a work finished already on the cross. Is that what you mean? Then the problem among the various interpreters would have more to do with a perspective in time than whether or not there is a stone building? |

28 | Ezekiel 40-44 measurements? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232092 | ||
Thanks for answering, Beja. I follow your reasoning, but I still don't understand about all the measurements, which seem to be intended as literal. If Ezekiel's vision was only symbolic, how do they fit in? By the way, if one menorah is an almond tree, does that mean that ten (as in Solomon's Temple) are an orchard (like the garden in Eden)? loavesnfish |

29 | Ezekiel's Temple vision-when, why, who? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232088 | ||
Concerning Ezekiel's vision of the Temple in chapters 40-44: 1. Which temple is this (i.e. when)? 2. What are the sacrifices for? 3. Who is the prince? 4. What do all the measurements mean (symbolism if any)? I have read several commentaries on these chapters and I am still confused. |

30 | Target language problem? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232071 | ||
Have you considered that this is a problem with the English language and not the Greek or the translator? In English there is a verb "to be filled in" (such as a form) and a verb "to be filled" which takes a prepositional phrase. In order to keep the intention of the Greek intact, the translator had to avoid giving the English reader the "wrong" verb. Since you are aware of the problem, you can use your knowledge to encourage others in their study of New Testament Greek. | ||||||
31 | Who was Theophilus? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232077 | ||
Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1 show that these writings were addressed to someone named Theophilus. Who was Theophilus? I have heard that one of the high priests appointed by the Romans, who was related to Annas and Caiaphas, was also named Theophilus. Could Luke have been addressing him in defense of Paul? |

32 | Why ten lampstands and tables? | OT general | loavesnfish | 233341 | ||
1 Kings 7:49 and 2 Chronicles 4:7-8 Exodus 25:23-40 and Exodus 37:10-24 Why did one lampstand and one table in the tabernacle become ten lampstands and ten tables in Solomon's Temple? (Thank you for the reminder to be thorough!) |
||||||
33 | In Psalm 68:13 what is "sheepfolds" ? | Ps 68:13 | loavesnfish | 231992 | ||
In Psalm 68:13 the word translated "sheepfolds" could also mean the "hooks" in the Temple which held the carcasses of the sacrificial animals for flaying (as in Ezekiel 40:43). Then the meaning of the verse might be that the lives lost on the battlefield were lain down sacrificially like the lives of the sacrificial animals. Also, it could apply as a messianic prophecy of Jesus. I don't understand the thinking behind "sheepfolds" or why there is so much confusion about this word among commentators and translations. Is it going too far to interpret this as "hooks" here? What am I missing? I really want to understand this verse and I would sincerely appreciate your help. This is my own question and not any kind of assignment, etc. Thanks! | ||||||
34 | One lampstand and one table became ten ? | Bible general Archive 4 | loavesnfish | 232002 | ||
In the Tabernacle in the wilderness there was only one lampstand and one table of shewbread. In the temple there were ten of each. Why the increase? Is there a symbolic meaning? or was it just a matter of filling space? | ||||||
35 | Are Luke 15 and John 21 related? | NT general | loavesnfish | 231920 | ||
Is the teaching of Jesus in Luke 15 related to how Jesus dealt with Peter and the other six disciples in John 21? | ||||||
36 | Twelve years of Luke 8:40-56? | Luke | loavesnfish | 231918 | ||
In Luke 8:40-56, why is the age of the little girl and the number of years the woman suffered the same? Does Luke have a reason for saying this or is it just a coincidence? | ||||||
37 | Is Mt.18:21-22 related to Dan. 9:24-27? | NT general | loavesnfish | 231916 | ||
In Matthew 18:21-22 is there any connection to Daniel 9:24-27? Is Jesus using this number to remind Peter of how forgiving God is and remind us to imitate Him as dear children Ias Paul says in Ephesians 5:1)? Or is it just a coincidence that this number appears twice in the Scriptures? | ||||||
38 | Shewbread made of manna in wilderness? | Ex 25:30 | loavesnfish | 231914 | ||
When Israel was eating manna in the wilderness, what did they do about the shewbread? Was it also made of manna? | ||||||
