:patrice: :patrice:

is the battle between Ephraim and Gilead happening across translations :ohhh: the first judge of Moses must be when he saw "An Egyptian smiting a hebrew, and when he looked this way and that way and saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian"

but if the tribes of Israel are said to be able to return to Egypt if Joseph is alive...:jbhmm:


How does heaven become brass, and the earth iron? :why:


Despite rains from above ('copper' represents humidity), there will be drought below ('iron' represents aridity). The admonition here at Mount 'Eval parallels the earlier, more forceful, tοchaħah (reproof, reprimand, telling off) delivered at Mount Sinai in Vayyiḳra 26:19.

I was thinking about this again and how to fix it

because if it says that God will make those things like this, and like that. Then it can only be interpreted as the boundary of the serpent :jbhmm: cause it said to Eve that you will be "like" something, which is inherently the source of confusion

when is something definitely something and when is it "like" something (mirror reflections and the actual object)?

IE In the Torah it does not say that Abraham has a mother, but only a father (Terah). But the Talmud says that the mother of Abraham is Amathlai

Would that make the Talmud like copper? and the Torah like Iron? :lupe:

@Marks semi related, but if the Earth is in the center of the universe and everything revolves around it, does that mean the orbits of the sun, mercury and venus are within the Earth? whereas the outer planets are above the earth :patrice: an elohay vs eloheka debate

Context. And sometimes one verse will use the preposition while its parallel passage will not. For example, the verse you brought omits it; however, the text of the parallel passage (Vayyiḳra 26:19) does not: כַַּבַַּרְְזֶֶֶל kabarzel ('like iron'), כַַּנְְּחֻֻֻשָָָׁה kan'ħushah ('like copper').

IE In the Torah it does not say that Abraham has a mother, but only a father (Terah). But the Talmud says that the mother of Abraham is Amathlai
It is interesting you bring this g'mara as it was learned two weeks ago as part of our septennial דַַּף יוֹֹמִִי daf yomi ('daily page') cycle!

Anyway, the same passage continues with the question ?לְְמַַאי נָָָפְְקָָָא מִִנַַּהּ l'maai naf'ḳa minnaH? ('What difference does this make?') and gives the answer: לִִתְְשׁוּבַַת הַַמִִּינִִים litshuvat haminim ('as a retort to heretics' - should they ask why the names of the mothers of important figures are not considered in the Biblical account, they can be answered that their names are known from our oral tradition).

Would that make the Talmud like copper? and the Torah like Iron? :lupe:
Hmm... I don't think it does the two justice, although I can't say I have a metaphor at the moment that would.

The word for officer is also the same word for eunuch???
is potiphar infertile?
Yes, the word סָָָרִִיס saris can mean 'officer' and/or 'eunuch'. And there is a midrash that explains how Pοṭifar was given the [feminine] name Poṭi-fera upon making unharlem-like advances toward Yοsef, and for which reason the angel Gavri'el castrated him—ergo סָָָרִִיס saris; but Onḳ'lοs’s Targum translates both instances of this word using the Aramaic רַַבָָָּא rabba ('chief'), and this is the plain meaning.

@Koichos


The basic story goes as follows:

Four entered the orchard: Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, Acher (i.e., Elisha ben Avuya), and Rabbi Akiva. One looked and died. One looked and was harmed. One looked and cut down the trees. And one went up in peace and went down in peace.
— Babylonian Talmud, Tosefta Hagigah 2.2[1]

can one see into Egypt and into Persia and not fall into the boat in between?

Beyond removing amnesia, TIME COMPRESSION has also been removed. It is a plot contrivance that most
will admit was poorly explained and poorly executed.
But it is also more necessary to the main plot than
the amnesia, and so removing it has had greater implications on the story as a whole. That means that a
more comprehensive change to the plot was necessary to resolve this issue. I am very confident, however,
that the alternate explanation I have provided is less contrived and more coherent, and also has a more
personal and meaningful impact on the main characters.

@DoubleClutch you said in this thread "Gods can move".

But in Exodus it is stated here:

Exodus 15:3-6

3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

why and how do you think did God make the Ant eater?

Didn’t expect a random Ant eater video :banderas:

But I think my comment was referring to how the “Gods” of Egypt weren’t confined to Egypt

But you’ll find those same Gods appear in other cultures under different names (languages) and identities perhaps and among different people.

Really it’s the people who give the gods their power and relevance after all….. right? :manny:

When’s the last time we had an “atheist” kingdom or a “god less” country? :jbhmm:

look closely at the red line created by pressing play :ufdup: it is stated that Esau was a hairy man and that his father Isaac loved the wild game he hunted in the field

how can you say that when most Taoists are theistic? its only Confucians that are atheistic (for pure legalism)

see Shang Di or Yu Di or even Yuanshi Tianzun

all of the chinese kings even with confucianism also believed in the mandate of heaven which would imply theism(even if they put themselves in that place).
the majority of china is irreligious right now..........*
