Old Testament

King David's first six brothers are listed in 1 Chronicles 2:13-15: Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea, Nethanel, Raddai and Ozem. His other brother is not named anywhere in the Bible. Elsewhere, we learn that David had a brother named Elihu (1 Chr. 27:18), which may be the name of his seventh brother, or which may simply be a variant form of "Eliab." Also, the Bible speaks of "Shammah/Shimeah/Shimei" as David's brother, but all these are most likely variants of "Shimea" (without doubt this is the case with at least "Shammah" [1 Sam. 17:13]). If his seventh brother is not named in the genealogies, it may be because he died without children.

In the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, the characters Cain and Abel represent the duality of human nature, with Cain embodying jealousy and violence, and Abel representing innocence and vulnerability. Their relationship reflects themes of sibling rivalry and the consequences of envy and betrayal. Additionally, their presence in the series adds depth to the exploration of morality and the complexities of human relationships.

Well, honey, the dodo bird is the life of the party that missed the ark and is now extinct. They were too busy strutting their stuff and not paying attention to Noah's guest list. So, now we just have to admire their fabulousness from history books.

Moses Delgado is likely a person with that name. Maybe he's a plumber, a teacher, or just a regular Joe Schmoe. But hey, who am I to know every Moses Delgado out there? Just make sure he's not running for president or something, cause then you might wanna pay attention.

Habakkuk 2:2 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it."

Although we can learn from all the scriptures, the ones we can immediately read and live are those specific to our day. Jesus' words applicable to our day encourage us to live with the reality of the power of the Holy Spirit in evidence.

Acts 1:6-8 "When they therefore were come together... he said unto them... ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Scriptures written since the day of Pentecost transform us, and we instantly 'run' with them because they communicate our reality. The seven church epistles, Romans through Thessalonians, are God's communication to the body of Christ in the age of Grace. The book of Acts is also our blueprint, providing an example of believers living with the power of the Holy Spirit during this age.

I Thessalonians 1:5,8 "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance... For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad..."

While reading and delighting in all the scriptures, we are most readily transformed by the Word that applies to our day. We experience the reality of the Holy Spirit in evidence and inspire others to do the same.

It is impossible to provide an exact number of individuals named David in the world as it would require comprehensive data collection from every country and population. However, David is a common name in many cultures, so it is safe to assume there are millions of individuals named David globally. Variations in spelling, cultural differences, and naming trends further complicate determining an exact count.

The Qur'an does not name or provide a source for the names of Yusuf's brothers. Historically, Qur'anic exegetes have held that in places where the Qur'an does not speak on a subject, the Bible and earlier traditions may be relied upon. Therefore, we can examine Coptic Bibles, wherein there are names for the all of the sons of Ya'aqub (يعقوب) who are not individually singled out in Qur'an. The sons are named as follows:

Reuben - Ra'ubin (رأوبين)

Levi - Lawi (لاوي)

Simeon - Sham'un (شمعون)

Judah - Yehudha (يهوذا)

Issachar - Yissakar (يساكر)

Zebulun - Zbulun (زبولون)

Dan - Daan (دان)

Naphtali - Naftali (نفتالي)

Gad - Jaad (جاد)

Asher - Ashir (أشير)

Yusuf - Yus'f (يوسف)

Benjamin - Binyamin (بنيامين)

Additionally, Yusuf had two sons who are counted in the Al-Asbatt (الاسباط) or Boni Asra'il (بني اسرائيل) (Levi and Yusuf are themselves not counted which brings the total to twelve.)

Ephraim - (أفرايم)

Manasseh - Mnasse (منسى)

Well, honey, both are right! "Song of Songs" is the literal translation of the Hebrew title "Shir HaShirim," while "Song of Solomon" is the traditional English title. So, it's just a matter of preference whether you want to sound fancy or stick to the classic English version. Either way, you're talking about the same steamy love poetry in the Bible.

In the biblical story of Daniel and the lions' den, there were originally 120 satraps appointed to rule over the kingdom. King Darius then appointed three administrators, including Daniel, to oversee the satraps. Due to Daniel's exceptional qualities, the other administrators became jealous and plotted against him, leading to his punishment of being thrown into the den of lions. The exact number of lions in the den is not specified in the biblical text.

Well, honey, in the Bible, Courtney isn't exactly a name you'll find. Names like Mary, David, and Moses get all the spotlight. But if you want to get creative, you could say Courtney means "valiant" or "brave" because you gotta have some guts to survive the drama in that book.

In the Old Testament, the 100th verse is in Genesis 6:10. The 100th word is "them" in Genesis 1:29. The 100th chapter is Psalms 100. The 100th letter is the Hebrew letter "he" in Genesis 1:1. In the New Testament, the 100th verse is in Matthew 5:18. The 100th word is "to" in Matthew 1:2. The 100th chapter is Matthew 15. The 100th letter is the Greek letter "alpha" in Matthew 1:1.

Well, honey, if we're talking about biblical figures, it was probably Eve when she needed some advice on that whole "apple incident." But let's be real, plenty of women have been asking the big guy upstairs for help ever since. Just remember, even the most powerful women need a little divine intervention sometimes.

According to the Bible, Joshua and the Israelites marched around the city of Jericho once a day for six days, and seven times on the seventh day. Jericho's ancient walls encompassed an area of around 8 acres, or roughly 0.0125 square miles. Assuming the Israelites followed the perimeter of the city walls, Joshua would have walked approximately 1.5 miles each day for six days, and 1.75 miles on the seventh day, totaling around 10.75 miles.

Joseph and Moses are not directly related by blood. Joseph was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (also known as Israel), while Moses was a descendant of Levi, one of Jacob's sons. However, they are both significant figures in the history of the Israelites, with Joseph playing a key role in the story of the Exodus and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt.

According to Sacred texts, Moses lived for one hundred and twenty years and the time period between him and Abraham was five hundred years, and the period between Moses and Jesus was one thousand and six hundred eighty years.

According to the Bible as we have it today, Moses died around 1400 BC. Jesus was born in either 4 or 5 BC. So the difference would be 1396 or 1395 years.

According to Deut. 34:7 "Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died."

Oh, what a lovely question! Let's imagine those 2000 cubits as a happy little stream flowing through a meadow. If we were to convert those cubits into miles, we would find that it's about 0.5 miles. Just a little stroll down the path of conversion, and we have our answer. Remember, there are no mistakes in math, just happy little accidents!

Joshua's occupation in the Bible was that of a military leader and commander. He succeeded Moses as the leader of the Israelites and led them in the conquest of the Promised Land. He is also known for his role in the Battle of Jericho, where the walls of the city famously came tumbling down after the Israelites marched around it for seven days.

Oh, what a lovely question! Samuel was just a young boy, around 12 years old, when God first spoke to him. It's amazing how God can use people of all ages to do wonderful things. Just like a happy little tree, Samuel grew and blossomed into a great prophet with God's guidance.

Sarah was 90 years old when Isaac was born, while Abraham was 100 years old. The birth of Isaac was considered miraculous due to Sarah's advanced age and previous infertility. This event is significant in the Bible as it fulfills God's promise to Abraham of having descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Jeremiah is not consider the eagle prophet, it is Isaiah that's consider to be the eagle eye prophet do to the fact that he was able to look through the corridors of time and see Christ some 700 years prior.

The Book of Jeremiah was written during the late 7th to early 6th century BCE. Jeremiah, the prophet and author of the book, lived during the final decades of the Kingdom of Judah before its destruction by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The text of the book reflects the historical and political context of this period, including the fall of Jerusalem and the exile of the Israelites to Babylon.

Well, let's imagine Ezekiel's journey like a beautiful painting. While there are different beliefs and interpretations about where he passed away, what truly matters is the impact he left through his teachings and wisdom. Just like how each brushstroke adds depth to a painting, Ezekiel's legacy continues to inspire and guide others on their spiritual path.
