41 | Triplets? | Gen 5:32 | keliy | 214637 | ||
Hello Vintage, My feelings are that I have to disagree with Searcher on this one, sorry Searcher. In Gen vs 32, there is the connecting word 'and' that bring together two events that were otherwise very possibly unrelated. Again, just my view, but the verse tells us Noah's age, AND that he fathered 3 sons. Again my viewpoint tells me that Noah was not 500 years old when he had his first child. These three names are brought up separately, because our Lord separated these three, each for their own special purpose and destiny. Namely, to father three nations of mankind. The lists of names of fathers and sons were preserved only for the Jews alone, meaning Shem, especially, and this for the sake of the Messiah. Now, I don't know about the others, but Shem was 100 when he gave birth to his son two years after the flood. (Gen 11:10) This would mean that Shem was born when Noah was 502. Now back to Searcher, I do not disagree with you entirely, for there is no conclusive evidence that the three were not triplets. But, by the same token, one could possibly argue that Cain and Able were twins. -As this has been done by the famously false, prophet Branham. Blessings to you, keliy |

42 | Need to know the answer on where was Abr | Gen 11:31 | keliy | 220928 | ||
I believe that your answer is found two verses prior to chapt. 12. 11:31, And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (and Terah died in Haran vs. 32) 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country I am so grateful to serve a Lord wholoves us so much, and has grace upon grace in store for us, that He will not allow us to stake out our camp any where that comes short of the Promised Land. |

43 | Why did Moses' send his wife to Midian | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 210762 | ||
Greetings, senicienta, Welcome, and thank you for your question. It seems as though he had sent them back, probably from the inn where his wife’s aversion to the circumcision of her son could have likely cost him his life. See 4:24, "And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him." He presumed there would be difficulty in the Pharaoh's court, and decided not to take any along with him of his own family, the protection of them is likely only one reason, another possibility is that he sent them to his father-in law, fearing they may become a further hindrance, or maybe Pharaoh could have used their presence as a bargaining tool against Moses. Other possibilities are likely as well. keliy |

44 | besides Moses who was to go without food | Ex 4:25 | keliy | 212571 | ||
Question 1, from Mat 4:1,2 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Question 2, From Chuck Smith: So he would veil his face when he would go out and talk with the children of Israel, because he would have this shining on his face. When he'd go before the Lord he'd take the veil off. Now twice in the New Testament this veil is mentioned there in a couple of different ways. Number one, why the veil over the face of Moses? Because it was hard to look at his shining face? No. In Corinthians we are told that the reason for the veil over his face is so that they would not see the shining go away, fading. But the fact that the shine was fading away from his face, was indicating the fact that the law that God was given was to fade away when God established the new covenant with man through Jesus Christ. So that they would not see the fading away of the old covenant, his face was veiled. But Paul goes on to say, "But even today their faces are still veiled when it comes to the word of God." They can't see the truth of God in Jesus Christ. They still have that veil over their face as God seeks to speak to them today, and they cannot see that Jesus Christ is indeed the Messiah that God had promised to the nation Israel. So the veil still over their eyes, not being able to behold the truth of Jesus Christ. keliy |

Hello Barbell, Welcome to the forum, your question is appreciated but is also confusing. The 21st chapter of Exodus contains laws that relate to the fifth and sixth commandments. Looking at the numbers in the Scripture reference you mention, there appears to be a typo. Could you please rephrase your question for us? Blessings, keliy |

Hello, Humility, It was on March 7, 321 A.D., when Constantine I decreed that Sunday would be observed as the Roman day of rest. This is past the biblical era so I am afraid that support from the Good Book will be hard to come by.

48 | how big was the arc | Ex 37:1 | keliy | 210352 | ||
Greetings, llcjwbek Welcome to Forum. It does help to be very specific in your questions because there are a lot of people here who take things in different ways, and the Bible is so broad in scope. I will answer to the best of the ability that God gives me. The KJV answers your question in 3 different verses, in Gen 6:15, The ark is spoken of is the sanctuary for the animals during the great flood. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. Now, a Cubit is said to be the length of the section of a man's arm between the elbow and the tip of his outstretched fingers. But how long was Noah's arm? This is commonly held to be (in U.S.A.) at 17ft 6 inches, which would make the ark 5250" long, or 437 feet and 6 inches. The breadth, or width would be 73 feet, and the height would be 43 feet 9 inches. The other options for your answer, and you can do the math, since I do not know if you are using the metric system or not, are: Exd 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. Exd 37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: This ark is of course meant to be the sanctuary for the Lord, that He may dwell with His people, as in Exod 25:8 I hope this helps, if you need more info, don't be shy ;o) Keliy |

Hi taustin, When a teacher asks such questions of the students, it is not because of the significance of which direction is travelled, it would be to see how well the reading assignments are being followed.

50 | Banker are sinner or not | Deut 23:19 | keliy | 214650 | ||
Ggood morning Rajeeb, welcome to the forum and thank you for the question. If only more bankers would start out with questions like yours, what a world we would be living in (o: ! The wording of the verse contains the clue to the answer. "You shall not charge interest to your countrymen" So we must remember to whom our Lord was addressing this directive, and His purpose was for the preserving of the purity and honor of the families of Israel, What He was saying was that they must not lend for the gain of interest to another Israelite. This is because God had given the promised land to His people and for the purpose that all should share in common all they have been given. In extreme cases, such as in the case of a crop faillure another person should see it no great burden to lend of the excess of his crop to the one who has needs to feed his family. This would be of no great sum, usually a small amount from the excess as the Lord has seen fit to sustain His people. In the lending of money, when no agriculture is involved for instance, when a neighbor has an honest need, and it takes a little bit of cash to tide him over, we should give him the amount that is needed, until he is able to return it to us without interest, because if this neighbor is unable to make ends meet with what he has earned, then the interest we charge would be a greater burden on him for the next pay period, causing him to come up even shorter. In this way our lending to him would be a hindrance rather than a help. This is not to be confused with the prrocess of lending money as a way of making a living, which in our culture is not only accepted but often expected. If a person were to want a house or a boat, and agrees to the terms of the contract beforehand, it is a perfectly acceptable venture in the eyes of both parties, as both parties receive a benefit. keliy |

51 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | Deut 24:1 | keliy | 211235 | ||
Pete, I just finished posting on your other thread, so I apologize for the confusion, but this is an unconnected thought. I was just reminded of something that I had learned about the difference between the Old and New Testaments and I would like to share them, hoping to shed some light on your studies. Everthing in the Old Testament points Forward, -to the Cross. Everthing in the New Testament points Backward, -to the Cross. Two different ways of looking at the connection between the two are these: 1) The Old Testament contains the New Testament, -concealed, while the New Testament contains the Old Testament, -revealed. 2) The Old Testament holds the New Testament, contained, while the New Testament contains the Old Testament, explained. Continued Blessings, keliy |

52 | Samuel serving where he shouldn | 1 Sam 1:1 | keliy | 213369 | ||
Hi MJH, Good question, and good to hear from you again. Samuel's father was Elkanah, a descendant of the tribe of Levi (1 Chronicles 6:26,33). In 1Sam 1:1 in my Bible I have underlined the term “Mount Ephraim”, and in the margin wrote: geography, not genealogy. Lord's blessings. keliy |

53 | Can anyone summarize 2 Samuel 5-7, 11-12 | 2 Sam 12:9 | keliy | 214603 | ||
Hi Smartalek. I am likely to be taken to task for this by the forum, because we are not here to do peoples homework for them. Your Bible study class is just that, a place where you go to study the Bible. There are no shortcuts to be taken because you will only be fooling yourself if you think you have taken the easy route. As you think you may have gained, it actually is you who suffers the greater loss. I would normally not do this, but the moral is actually in the story, so I will put in 2 pence worth and hope you learn, as David learned. The story begins in 5:2 with a divine appointment from the Lord who said, "Thou shalt feed my people Israel" that is, he was to shepherd them in all things resulting in their benefit. David was thirty years old when he began his reign, the same age as Jesus was when He began His public ministry, and the same age that the priests were to begin the full capacity of their office. David was also successful in bringing back the ark, which was for many years neglected, making it no surprise that the spiritual condition of the kingdom was also in a state of wilderness. So chapter 7 finds David at rest. He stayed home from the battlefields at last, for as he claims in Psa 120:7, he was a man who desired peace. As he settled in his leisure after building a palace for himself, he was pondering the building of a house for the ark. However, Chapter 11 holds the adultery and murder David was guilty of. Not to mention the cover-up that was attempted when David tried to make Uriah out to be the father of his own sinful offspring. This therefore attests to the saying that the devil finds work for idle hands, and shows us that even the man after God's own heart is not safe. (may you be convicted into doing your own homework) We are shown here what the best of men will be up to when our Lord leaves us to ourselves, as the sin of sloth only produced more temptation to sin in David's life, and each sin led David deeper into the next sin. Finally we are told of David's repentance, in Ch 12. After being convicted by Nathan, David repented, but a contrite heart will not always do away with all physical consequences of sin and the produce of the affair still brought David much grief, adding further to his sorrow. Then we have an account of God's grace and forgiveness, with the birth of Solomon as evidence that God did not deal with David according to his sins. May our Lord bless you in your studies, keliy |

54 | Manuscripts | 2 Sam 23:2 | keliy | 213628 | ||
Hi fcs375, This can be a very large subject with loyalists on many sides, but I do not see it as a polarizing issue, rather an issue where we can find unity throughout and within the diversity. Also, I have just a scant knowledge in this area, but find it interesting -so I will start with some information as I understand it, then others may expound as they are led. I would like to add that Christianity is not based upon a person's knowledge of biblical facts, but is a relationship with God through His Son Jesus made possible by Jesus' perfect obedience while enduring a shameful execution for not His sins, but ours. It is a religion of faith not logic. Now, basically there are two sources of manuscripts: Alexandrian and Byzantine. These are not original, or "autograph" manuscripts, but are extremely accurate copies of the originals. These manuscripts come from Alexandria, Egypt and Antioch, Syria. The Pentateuch is a later recension of the Hebrew Torah text from around 400 B.C. 'Recension' is the editing or revising of a text through critical analysis. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, from around 280 B.C. The Dead Sea Scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, that include texts from the Hebrew Bible. These copies were discovered between 1947 and 1956 in several caves on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The Latin Vulgate version results from the work of Jerome, who was commissioned by Pope Damasus I in 382 A.D. The Masoretic Text (MT) is the Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible (Tanakh). It defines the books of the Jewish canon, and also the precise letter-text of the biblical books in Judaism, as well as their vocalization and accentuation for both public reading and private study.: A.D. 500.

55 | why did solomon kill adonijah | 1 Kin 2:24 | keliy | 220782 | ||
Hi obyrne, Solomon was not King David's oldest son. That was Adonijah, who would have held the rights to the throne upon the King's death. But since David promised Bathsheba that Solomon would be the next king, he had Solomon anointed by a priest while he was still alive. But Adonijah had his eyes on the throne already, and knowing that King David was not much longer for this world, he declared himself to be king. Two of David’s closest advisors, Joab son of Zeruiah and the priest Abiathar, sided with Adonijah. So, there was a measure of opposition to be faced by Solomon. Then, when Adonijah came to Solomon and requested the king’s servant as a wife, Solomon recognized this as a threat to take over his kingdom. This is what prompted Solomon to send a messenger to kill Adonijah. |

57 | why was Jabez named sorrow maker | 1 Chr 2:55 | keliy | 214260 | ||
Hi Sista, Could you please tell us where your information comes from about Jabez making sorrow? Was it possibly a sermon you heard? In the King James Bible, the word Jabez does not appear together with sorrow, or maker. neither do the words sorrow, or maker appear together in the same verse. Is there a different Bible translation that I should be looking at? Very little is actually said about Jabez in the Bible and there is much room for guesswork, but that would be irresponsible. In Him, keliy |

58 | did Jabez have sicle cell | 1 Chr 4:9 | keliy | 214258 | ||
Hello Sista Sorry, I am having difficulty making a connection between what the Bible says and the pain of Jabez. There is no disease mentioned in the life of Jabez that I know of. The pain mentioned is due to his mother's labor pains which are understood to be beyond normal. The pain felt by Jabez was actually removed by God as an answer to the prayer of Jabez. See the following passage, Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain." Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested. (1Ch 4:9-10) Forgive me for not knowing more about the sickle cell, but I understand it to be caused by genetic mutations. These mutations develop over time, so I would assume that this blood-borne characteristic was not in existence during Jabez's time. Again, this is only my assumption, there may be references to disease in the Old testament that could be translated as sickle cell but I am unaware of any. One symptom of sickle cell is a shortened life span, and this is not mentioned in Jabez. Lord Bless, keliy |

59 | Was Job written before the flood? | Job 19:25 | keliy | 211379 | ||
Hi glad2bcp, welcome to the forum. Your question has been 'up' for about 4 hours, so, although I am by no means an expert, I will do my best to answer before it gets too late. Then, the floor will be open for others more knowledgable than I. There is much speculation about the authorship of Job, the date, and even where Uz was. Some say that Job was a contemporary of Abraham, because the economy was that based on livestock, and Job lived to be more than 140 yrs old, a typical lifespan of the patriarchal period. And I have also heard that Job is the oldest Book in the Bible, which would place it around 1500 BC at the earliest. The events that took place are not necessarily contemporaneous with the writing og the Book. But, The details of the conversations between Job and his friends suggest that it would have been written in a not-too-distant future. Nevertheless, everything I have learned tells me that it must have been written after the flood. Otherwise, Noah would have had to carry the Book of Job onto the ark with him, right? Since there is no mention of Israel, my suggestion would be, that it is likely pre-mosaic, but not pre-flood Blessings to you, keliy |

60 | name 5 categories in Psalms? | Psalm | keliy | 210769 | ||
Hello, Tnaik; Thank you for your question. When I was first saved, I did not have any idea what to do with the Book of Psalms. Now I have studied it exstensively, and cannot seem to get enough out of these wonderful and inspiring chapters. To answer your question, Manuscript and Massoretic authorities, the Talmud as well as the ancient versions, divide the Psalms into five books. The Midrash on Ps 1:1 says "Moses gave to the Israelites the five books of the Law; and corresponding with these David gave them the five books of the Psalms." Psalms 1 - 41. Corresponding to: THE GENESIS BOOK, and CONCERNING MAN. Psalms 42 - 72. Corresponding to: THE EXODUS BOOK, and CONCERNING ISRAEL AS A NATION. Psalms 73 - 89. Corresponding to: THE LEVITICUS BOOK, and CONCERNING THE SANCTUARY. Psalms 90 - 106. Corresponding to: THE NUMBERS BOOK, and CONCURRING ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. Psalms 107 - 150. Corresponding to: THE DEUTERONOMY BOOK,, and CONCERNING GOD AND HIS WORD. There are many other interesting features in the chapters as well. There is a web site that I got most of this information from, that I am obliged to give you here: http://members.tripod.com/(?)HarveP/Psalms.html -IN PLACE OF the question mark in the parenthesis, use the tilde, located to the left of the one, at the top of the key. Blessings to you as you search out our Lord's Word. keliy |
