43 | what does "moses" mean? | Ex 2:10 | Michael Draves | 197546 | ||
"Moshe" has the same consonants as "masha" meaning "draw out". It is similar to the Egyptian words for "child" or "is born". Ex 2:10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water." |

44 | Why translations use LORD not Yahweh? | Ex 3:15 | Michael Draves | 198602 | ||
Check if the editors of your Bibles have in the introduction why LORD is used for the name of God revealed to Moses. The four letters of this name are sometimes called the tetragrammaton. To be sure not to violate the commandment not to take the name of God in vain Jewish people avoid saying the name. When the masoretes added vowel pointing to their scrolls they used the vowels from Adonai, meaning Lord, when the tetragrammaton occurs. This was to prevent someone from pronouning the divine name by mistake. Following this tradition LORD is used for the divine name. The name Jehovah is a result of trying to pronounce the yod-hey-vav-hey consonants of the divine name with vowels from Adonai. | ||||||

Since you posted this as a question I feel free to respond. Unless you accept that the Torah is edited together from different traditions or that one person can rightly say they did something because there agent actually did it at there bidding you are going to have a hard time reconciling these things. In 1 Ch 21:15 the destroyer is the angel of the Lord. There are times in the Torah there is confusion of who is acting whether it is God or the angel of the Lord. Some people consider the visitor's Abraham before the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah to be God. There is a possibility that none of these other beings actually exist but it is a way of communicating that the people of that time would understand. |

46 | When were the 3 items placed in the Ark? | Ex 16:33 | Michael Draves | 191160 | ||
14 Things inside the Ark of the Covenant 2 Tablets 1 Rod 1 Jar of Manna 5 Golden Mice 5 Golden Tumors Ex 16:33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept throughout your generations." Ex 16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the Testimony, to be kept. Ex 25:16 "You shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you. Ex 40:20 Then he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. Deut 10:2 'I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.' Num 17:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father's household: twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers' households. You shall write each name on his rod, Num 17:10 But the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die." 1 Sam 6:4 Then they said, "What shall be the guilt offering which we shall return to Him?" And they said, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords. 6 1 Sam 6:5 "So you shall make likenesses of your tumors and likenesses of your mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will ease His hand from you, your gods, and your land. 7 1 Sam 6:11 They put the ark of the LORD on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the likenesses of their tumors. |

47 | Why can't I have several wives? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102388 | ||
Monogamy is the ideal for marriage but the Bible allows polygyny but not polyandry. Marrying Tamar the wife of a deceased brother was expected of Onan in Genesis 38 and was later part of the Law in Deuteronomy 25 which doesn't mention whether the man already has a wife. This was an attempt to heal the social fabric by producing an heir to a deceased brother and support for his wife. Ruth 3 and 4 tell of Boaz marrying Naomi when the nearest kin refuses. David's adultery was taking another man's wife not his multiple wives but Deuteronomy 17:17 warned against Kings having multple wives. Women were treated as property and that is how the commandments were interpretted then. Paul taught in 1 Timothy 3:2,12 that Church leaders should have only on spouse but churches in Africa have been wrong to cause converted men to divorce all but one wife to be accepted into membership. Deuteronomy 17:17 "He shall not multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself. Deuteronomy 25:5-10 5 "When brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the family to a strange man. Her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. 6 "It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall assume the name of his dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel. 7 " But if the man does not desire to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to establish a name for his brother in Israel; he is not willing to perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.' 8 "Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak to him. And if he persists and says, 'I do not desire to take her,' 9 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the sight of the elders, and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face; and she shall declare, 'Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.' 10 "In Israel his name shall be called, 'The house of him whose sandal is removed.' 2 Samuel 12:8 'I also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these! |

48 | Pologomy Allowed? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102430 | ||
Deuteronomy 17:17 and 1 Timothy 3:2,12 make limitations for certain leaders but there is no out right ban on polygamy in the Bible and polygyny was in practice. Protection is given to the inheritance of the firstborn son born to an unloved wife in Deuteronomy 21:15-17. See the paper "Is Polygamy Sin?" by Rev. Caleb Mathebula http://www.africanazarene.org/pages/education/thHome.html |

Ex 23:15 "You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. Deut 16:16 "Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed. |

50 | is there biblical information on aging? | Lev 19:32 | Michael Draves | 159370 | ||
Lev 19:32 'You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the LORD. Prov 16:31 A gray head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness. Prov 17:6 Grandchildren are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons is their fathers. Ps 92:12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Ps 92:13 Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God. Ps 92:14 They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, Is 46:4 Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you. 1 Pet 5:5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. |

51 | forbidden to mary stepmother | Lev 20:11 | Michael Draves | 148862 | ||
Lev 20:11 'If there is a man who lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 1 Corinthians 5:1 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. Leviticus 18:8 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. Deuteronomy 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife so that he will not uncover his father's skirt. Deuteronomy 27:20 Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |

52 | Crossing over into Promised Land - why? | Num 14:30 | Michael Draves | 103432 | ||
All the adult males at the time of the spying of the land were dead except Joshua and Caleb who gave a good report. Numbers 14 26 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 27 "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who are grumbling against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they are making against Me. 28 "Say to them, ' As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you; 29 your corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered men, according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me. 30 'Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 'Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey--I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected. 32 'But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness. 33 'Your sons shall be shepherds for forty years in the wilderness, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your corpses lie in the wilderness. 34 'According to the number of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition. 35 'I, the LORD, have spoken, surely this I will do to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be destroyed, and there they will die.'" 36 As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land and who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report concerning the land, 37 even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the LORD. 38 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive out of those men who went to spy out the land. |

55 | Why is a Cross with Jesus not idolatry? | Deut 5:8 | Michael Draves | 151691 | ||
The previous Pope's opinion can be found on: http://www.truecatholic.org/pope/honor.htm It contains the following statement: A teacher asked the children in catechism class: what is the difference between a Crucifix and the Holy Eucharist (after consecration). A child answer correctly when she said: on the Crucifix we see Jesus, but he is not there. In the Eucharist we do not see Jesus, but He is there. Based on the above it doesn't sound like the crucifix is idolatry. I am not sure why the cherubim were put on the Ark of the Covenant nor why Moses was asked to make the serpent on the pole which Hezekiah later destroyed because it was being worshipped even though the Gospel John uses it as symbolic of Jesus on the cross. |

56 | Thumbs and toes cut off | Judg 1:6 | Michael Draves | 199629 | ||
The Stone Edition Tanach note on Judges 1:6 Nowhere else do we find Jews mutilating their opponents, as they do to Adoni-bezek. God prompted them to do this in order to frighten the remaining Canaanite rulers and to punish Adoni-bezek measure for measure for the atrocities he had inflicted on his victims (Ralbag). Search books.google.com and amazon.com for "cut off thumbs jewish" Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics P. 54 under Amputee: Legend relates that the Jews exiled to Babylon after the destruction of the first Temple cut off there thumbs so that the would not have to sing songs of Zion and play musical instruments before Nebuchadnezzar. Judas Maccabaeus: The Jewish Struggle Against the Seleucids p 369 regarding the treatment of Nicanor: The Babylonian Talmud version is further removed: 'They cut off the thumbs of his hand and feet and hung them at the gates of Jerusalem and said, A mouth that used to speak arrogantly and hands that used to be brandished at Jerusalem...' (Taanith 18b). |

57 | Numbers in Hebrew letters/words? | Judg 12:14 | Michael Draves | 140446 | ||
Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah puts a lot of stock in the numeric values of Hebrew words. The practice of counting the values of letters in words is called Gematria. The only place I know of that suggests attempting gematria in the Bible is in Revelation regarding the number of the beast. Ray Summers in "Worthy is the Lamb" shows some theories theories on this name and number. You can search in side a version on Amazon pages 175-177: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0805413146 The real value there would have been numerically with a text would be in being able to count the number of verses, numbers and letters in a book to know if it were copied correctly. Addison G. Wright, S.S. in "The Riddle of the Sphinx Revisted: Numerical Patterns in the Book of Qoheleth" (CBQ vol 42,1980) showed the value of the phrase in Ecclesiastes translated "Vanity of Vanities all is Vanity" as 216. This is number of verses in the book minus the epilogue. Neither of the two verses containing this phase is preserved in the Dead Sea Scroll fragments but you can see from the fragments available the primary difference in the Dead Sea scroll and the Masoretic text was of spelling. One of the most common differences was the holem vowel letter being present in the Dead Sea Scrolls as a "vav" that wasn't in the Masoretic text. The word for "all" is one of these words and the value of a "vav" is 6. If this letter was originally present then the value of the phrase is 222 which is the number of verses in Ecclesiastes. Without a text being transmitted perfectly down to the letter then the claims of Kabbalists and those doing "The Bible Code" are without merit. "The Bible Code" was already discredited by the failed prediction made for a Israel and Palestinian treaty. If you want a bibliography on numerical patterns in different books of the Bible see "Numerical Literary Techniques in John: The Fourth Evangelist's Use of Numbers of Words and Syllables" by M. J. J. Menken. You might look at the article on Gematria in the Jewish Encyclopedia. http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com Also you might do a google search fpr "On the Number of Verses, Words and Letters in the Bible" by Menachem Cohen of Bar-Ilan which is on the site http://cs.anu.edu.au . |
