- That’s why I usually put this small message to tell people to be careful with translations :

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

 

[JLG]

Somebody says :

Well, I agree with you and I note that you have fallen into the same trap that you warn others about.

I pointed that you claimed that Abraham was given land in the land of Canaan, but Stephen said that Abraham was not given any of the land of Canaan, even to rest his foot upon. The members of the Sanhedrin standing around him did not disagree with Stephen in Acts 7.

It seems that you have missed the context of what I have posted. I posted my paraphrase of Genesis 13:14-15 using the NKJV this time with the changes that I believe are required to provide the right context of what was recorded in the original Hebrew text.

If you want to disagree with my contextual paraphrase, then write your rebuttal based on those verses so that you can demonstrate that I am in error, otherwise you are fishing for other passages that may not be speaking of the same thing.

The passages that you quoted Ex 3:8, 3:15, 6:3, 6:4 and 6:8 are all not applicable to the conversation that you have started.

Shalom

 

[JLG]

My answer :

- On the contrary, Yah.weh made a promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (thus he appeared to them as God almighty but not as Yah.weh)!

- He revealed himself as Yah.weh to the Israelites when they received the promised land of Canaan when they took it by fighting and with Yah.weh's help!

- Of course, Abraham didn't get the land of Canaan!

- He was only a foreigner!

- And there were many people living on this land!

 

[jdyson]

Genesis 25:9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite,

Genesis 47:30 but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me [ Israel ] where they are buried." "I will do as you say," he said. ;

Genesis 49:31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah.

Genesis 50:10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation:

Genesis 50:13 For his sons carried him [ Israel ] into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

Genesis 50:14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.

The Israeli's claim the land they now occupy the homeland of the Israelites while their great leaders were buried elsewhere; Israel, Isaac, Rebekah, Abraham, Leah and Sarah were not buried in the land we now call "Israel" but in a land called Canaan which was beyond the Jordan river.

Why is there such a disconnect from biblical history and the occupied land of today?

You bury your great leaders in your own homeland.

Which Is Not the land falsely called “Israel” today

Why are the Israelis falsely claiming the land they are now occupying their “ancient homeland?”

 

[JLG]

Somebody says :

And now you are agreeing with what I had originally posted in my first response in this thread to your claim in Chapter 13 of Genesis that: -
by saying that Abraham in Genesis 13:14-15 was not given any of the land that he had walked upon, but that his descendants after him would receive this land for a finite period of time where the end point of that time period would be beyond their ability to comprehend.

So, all of your rebuttal post had no purpose in this conversation.

You have confirmed why I am only need to skim through your very long posts.

Shalom

 

[JLG]

- My answer :

- Not at all !

- Of course, Yah.weh didn’t give the land of Canaan to Abraham when he was there !

- Why do I always have to go back to Ancient Hebrew grammar to explain the basic ?

- And it is the same with Ancient greek grammar !

Verb Imperfect​

Summary​

An Imperfect verb is used generally to indicate an action that is not COMPLETE, or an action that either OCCURS in the PRESENT or WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. However, an Imperfect verb can also be used to describe other kinds of actions.

Article​

In Biblical Hebrew the Imperfect conjugation is used generally to describe actions that are not completed or actions that occur in the present or future. However, the Imperfect conjugation is also used to describe several other kinds of actions as determined by the context. These include frequentive or durative actions, negative commands, indirect commands, potential actions, and actions of greater or lesser desirability (similar to Jussive verbs and Cohortative verbs).
The normal Imperfect conjugation with the conjunction waw (וְ “and”) as a prefix is different from the Sequential Imperfect, which utilizes a specialized form of the conjunction and contains a different meaning. Sometimes a verb with Imperfect conjugation occurs within a clause after another finite verb (as in Gen 49:27 below, supplying the linking verb to be). In these cases, the context must determine whether the Imperfect verb is functioning as a non-finite verb to complement the preceding main verb, or whether it is functioning as a second main verb.



- AND ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO REPEAT THAT EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO GOD’S NAME WHICH IS YAH.WEH MEANING THE GOD OF THE PROMISE OR OF THE PROMISES !

- Yah.weh made the promise to Abraham that he would give the land of Canaan to his offspring !

- But there was a covenant to respect from Yah.weh and the israelites !

- Then you get what you get according to your actions !

- Yah.weh made the promise to Abraham to give him a son but Abraham and Sarah were old !

- It took time but it finally happened !

- Faithful servants of Yah.weh must show their faith in him !

- You can say Abraham didn’t offer his son to Yah.weh but he was to do it !

- That’s why he was called Yah.weh’s friend !

- Yah.weh gave him his son Isaac and he told him he would become a great nation through him !

- And Abraham had faith in Yah.weh !

- The Israelites lost the promised land because of their opposition and their lack of faith !

- It was only their children who finally inherited the promised land !

- But they finally lost everything !

- That’s the same for us today !

- Nothing has changed !

- That’s the same history !

- The difference this time is that it is the whole mankind !

- Do I have to remember you how it used to be to get married !

- Do you remember Joseph and Mary !

- They were to get married !

- But there is a big difference with today !

- When you were promised in marriage, you were married !

- That’s why Joseph wanted to divorce secretly from Mary !

- IF YOU SEE WITH MAN’S EYES, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE !

THAT’S WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO STUDY THE BIBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN !

- THEN WE SHOW THAT WE CARE FOR YAH.WEH !

[JLG]

56) ABRAHAM


Chapter 14


- There was a war and Lot and his household became prisoners!


- When Abraham was told, he organized his men and he freed Lot and his household!


Chapter 15


- Abraham had a vision!


- God told him that his offspring would become slaves in a foreign land and would be afflicted for 400 years!


- But after that his offspring would come back to the land of Canaan!

 

[JLG]

57) ABRAHAM


Chapter 16


- Sarai had no children so she gave her Egyptian servant Hagar to her husband!


- And she became pregnant!


- But she began to despise her mistress!


- So Sarai humiliated her and she ran away from her!


- Then God’s angel appeared to her!


- He told her to return to her mistress and humble herself!


- And she had to call her child Ishmael!


- And he would become a great nation!


- Abraham was 86 years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him!

 

[JLG]

58) ABRAHAM


Chapter 17


- When Abraham was 99, God appeared to him and told him he would become a great nation!


- And God changed his name from Abram to Abraham!


- And he told him again that they would get the land of Canaan!


- And he established a covenant with him: every male had to get circumcised!


- The one not being circumcised had to die!


- And he changed the name of Abraham’s wife from Sarai to Sarah!


- And she was to have a child!


- But Abraham began to laugh and to say in his heart: “Will a man 100 years old have a child born to him, and will Sarah, a woman 90 years old, give birth?”


- Thus Abraham and all the men belonging to him were circumcised!

 

[JLG]

59) ABRAHAM


Chapter 18


- Abraham saw 3 men and he met them and invited them to eat something!


- So he told his wife to prepare bread!


- And he asked one of his attendant for preparing a young bull!


- Finally, one of them told him that next year Sarah was to have a son!


- And Sarah began to laugh to herself because she was too old!


- God said to Abraham he was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah!


- Then Abraham had a discussion with God!


- And God told him he was not going to destroy the two cities if he was to find 50 or 45 or 40 or 30 or 20 or 10 righteous men he would not destroy the two cities!


- Think about the men who could have such a discussion with God!


- Not many indeed!


- God really considered Abraham as a faithful servant!

 

[JLG]

60) Definition of irrelevant: not connected with or relevant to!

- A chapter of the Bible is one thing!

- Taking the most important thing in a chapter about a character is connected to this character!


- Looking for the information is the basis of the study!


- If you only take the whole chapter, the information you are looking for is diluted!

- To understand a biblical character, reading is not sufficient, you need to engrave it!

- Reading for reading leads nowhere!

- Reading to understand and analyze is meaningful!

- It's the same about Acts and the personality checkup!


- To get personality traits you need to get the exact extract and only think about it!

 

[JLG]

61) ABRAHAM


Chapter 20


- Once again Abraham doesn’t say that Sarah is his wife but just his sister!

- He tries to survive!


- We remember what David did!


- And many others were or are ready to kill for a woman!


- So king Abimelech sends for Sarah and takes her!


- But God warns him!


- And he tells Abimelech to send Sarah back if he doesn’t want to die!


- Thus Abraham does his part to survive and so does God!

- So as Abraham, we have to do our part if we want God to do his part!


- There is no other way!

 

[JLG]

62) ABRAHAM


Chapter 21


- Sarah became pregnant at the appointed time God had promised him!


- Apparently Abraham and Sarah waited 25 years for the fulfillment of God’s promise!


- But above all they were old!


- So 25 years means a lot more than only 25 years!


- But it is difficult for men to wait!


- Think about the time the Israelites had to wait to get the promised land!


- Think about the time men have to wait for God’s world to come!


- Abraham showed respect for God’s gift!


- But the Israelites didn’t!


- What about us?


- Are we ready to wait for it?
