Best Answer
A:I know of no biblical account that reports anyone plotting to destroy the entire Hebrew nation, or even all the people of Judah.

However, the Book of Esther, which Leonard J. Greenspoon (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch) describes as a second-century Jewish novel, says that the wicked Haman sought to have all the Jews living in Persia killed.

What best describes how Christians view the Hebrew Bible?

Christians generally view the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament, as sacred scripture that is inspired by God and serves as a foundation for their faith. They believe that the Hebrew Bible is important for understanding the history and teachings that lead to the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.


The languages which the old and New Testaments were written in?

Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a slight variation of which is still spoken today. Parts of it (notably in the book of Daniel) are written Aramaic. Most of the New Testament is written in Koine Greek (which is not quite like ancient Greek from Homer or Aristotle but is also not like the Greek spoken today in Greece.) Some words in the New Testament are given in Aramaic, like "Talitha koum!" in Mark 5:41. The Aramaic language dates back a long ways and has undergone some changes, particularly because it was a widespread language at one time. However, the primary languages of the Bible are Hebrew and Koine Greek.

Joel 3:2 - "I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land."


What is Canaan and why is it important in the Old Testament?

Canaan was an ancient region located in the eastern Mediterranean, roughly corresponding to present-day Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.
