In the various passages, where it is recorded that God gave instructions to Noah, it merely states that 'God said unto Noah' (Genesis 6:13) or 'The Lord said unto Noah' (Genesis 7:1) and 'God spoke unto Noah' (Genesis 8:15). We are not told how exactly this took place. In any case, especially in the initial one where the command and consequent details about the ark construction were given, there is a great amount of specific detail. It would appear from this that it is unlikely to have been in a dream or vision but in a highly tangible form.
In any case, however Noah encountered God, it did not appear to strike Noah as particularly unusual or strange, even though the task was monumental and the coming judgment drastic and terrible. Noah lived in the wicked pre-flood world and so he knew first hand that God's decision was right. If Noah was, as God Himself said 'righteous before me', then Noah may well have been accustomed to regular communion with God and so lived his life in a manner pleasing to God, unlike those around him. It was thus not an unusual thing to hear from God as his whole life was dedicated to living righteously before God.
King Solomon's death is not explicitly detailed in the Bible. However, according to Jewish tradition and historical accounts, it is said that he died of natural causes after ruling for about 40 years.
How old was Hannah when she gave birth to Samuel?
Hannah was likely in her childbearing years when she gave birth to Samuel, as women in the biblical era typically married and had children at a young age. While the exact age is not specified in the Bible, it is believed that she was relatively young, possibly in her late teens or early twenties, when she conceived and bore Samuel. This aligns with the cultural norms and practices of that time period.
the Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want. he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. surley goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
What is an artifact that relates to Moses?
An artefact is something made by man, often of historical or archaeological importance. Strictly speaking, an artefact should be something that has been physically identified rather than something merely written about long ago. On this strict definition, we have no artefact related to Moses because none has been found. Since the story of Moses and the Exodus are regarded by over 90 per cent of scholars as not based on actual events, we are unlikely ever to find any artefact relating to Moses.
From a biblical point of view, the tablets containing the Ten Commandments is probably the key artefact, followed by the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat.
Why do people say slow as moses?
The phrase "slow as Moses" likely originates from the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites through the desert for 40 years. The journey was perceived as slow and tedious, hence the comparison. Additionally, Moses is often portrayed as deliberate and patient in his actions, further reinforcing the idea of slowness. Overall, the expression is used to emphasize a significant degree of sluggishness or delay.
Where in the Bible does it say that Lucifer was God's favorite angel?
Isaiah chapter 14 talks of the pomp and splendour of the king of Babylon, who had ruled the nations in anger, and of his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the morning star (Lucifer, from Latin) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. He has become weak and like one of us; he will go to hell. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one. The Bible does not call Lucifer an angel.

What do the urim thummim look like?

Did GOD really make men wiser more intelligent holier and cleaner than women?
Oh, dude, that's a wild question. But like, let's get real here. Men and women are both awesome in their own ways. Intelligence, wisdom, holiness, and cleanliness aren't exclusive to one gender. We all bring something unique to the table, so let's just appreciate each other without getting into a whole superiority thing, ya know?
What kings did Daniel the prophet serve under?
According to the Book of Daniel, Daniel served under the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar from 597 to about 562 BCE, then under Belshazzar. The book credits Darius the Mede with conquering Babylon, and Darius was king of Persia from 522 to 486 BCE. Daniel served Darius with distinction until his death and then served Cyrus, who was actually king of Persia from about 560 to 530 BCE. Thus he served under four kings in the Book of Daniel.
If the above sequence seems strange, it is because the Book of Daniel was actually written about four hundred years after the events it sees to portray, and the author had a limited grasp of what was already ancient history. [This author's commentary is absurd. The Bible comes to us as a unit. The Jews were not an ignorant culture. The book of Daniel would not have found its place in the cannon alongside the Book of Ezra, which includes King Darius in historical timeline and his successor, King Xerxes, in the Book of Esther. That this author concludes that this person Daniel likely never existed and "served no king in Babylon or Persia" is more than enough to disqualify him as any time of reliable commentator in the area of Christianity (or Judaism). What hubris - no matter how "substantial" his home library is.] There is no evidence outside the Book of Daniel that the character Daniel even existed, although it should be expected that records would exist of someone who held such exalted positions in both the Babylonian and Persian empires. It is more likely that Daniel served no king, either of Babylon or Persia.
Does the pillar of salt exist today?
The pillar of salt mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the story of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt, is a religious and mythological concept. There is no scientific evidence or archaeological findings to support the existence of a literal pillar of salt today. It is considered a symbolic or metaphorical element within the biblical narrative, rather than a physical object that still exists.
Where do Shem's descendants live today?
Shem descendants are from the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who was the father to the 12 tribes of Israel which today are wide spread from Central Asia - East Asia - North America through Mexico, Central America and South America.
The bible says in Genesis 10:30 that Shem's descendants settled in Mesha
toward Sephar in the eastern mountains and according to the New Unger's
Bible Dictionary this is the Arabian area. (It appears that Shem's
descendants later spread to other Far East and Middle East locations and
from there migrated to other areas. Based on the scripture and the migration
pattern of Shem's descendants, it appears that Shem was the progenitor of
most Asian, Far East and Middle Eastern Peopl.We can say that Shem is ancestor of people in Middle East(such as Arabs,Jews,Assyrian,Chaldean,Syrian) & Yellow race people in Far East(South East Asia & East Asia) and America(Native American).

What does the 39 stripes on Jesus back represent?
The 39 stripes on Jesus' back, also known as the 39 lashes, symbolize the flogging he received as part of his crucifixion. In Roman law, it was customary to give criminals 40 lashes, but to avoid accidentally killing them, the punishment was reduced to 39 lashes. This act of physical torture was meant to humiliate and punish Jesus before his crucifixion.
When did Moses receive the Ten Commandments?
Answer 1
1446 BC I believe, according to a time line I found online. Not sure if its totally dependable though.
Answer 2
One date which differs a little, although using exactly the same principles, as mentioned below, is that of 1440 BC. This is commonly referred to as the 'early date' for the Exodus and subsequent giving of the law and is in the same general range as the others. 1 Kings 6:1 (King James Version)
1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
The date can be calculated based on a 961BC date for Solomons Temple, we then add the 480 years which arrives at 1441 BC for the Exodus. The 10 Commandments would have been received some time after that - probably in 1440 or later in 1441, depending on which month the Exodus began in. The verse below indicates it took 3 months to travel from Egypt to Sinai where the commandments were given to Moses.
Exodus 19:1 (King James Version)
1In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
Answer 3
Depending on how the chronology is calculated, it appears that he was given the ten commandments about the year 1513 BC.
Bible chronology is computed by counting bible periods from the known dates of corresponding prominent historical events.
A key date in calculating/extrapolating Bible dates is the date of the overthrow of the city of Babylon by the Medes and Persians under King Cyrus. This event is recorded both in the bible (Daniel 5:30) and in world history. From this date it is possible to compile tables both backwards and forward in time, thus providing a framework for dating other bible events. Using such dates, together with linking bible texts, it is possible to calculate, with reasonable accuracy, the dates of many events recorded in the bible, including the date of when Moses was given the ten commandments.
However, the historical dates of ancient events in history are sometimes disputed, so differing opinions may lead to slightly different dates being used as starting points. Consequently some may consider a year other than 1513 BC to be the date of this biblical event.
Answer:Jewish tradition places the receiving of the Ten Commandments in 1312 BCE.
