Well, honey, that dove brought back an olive branch to let Noah know that the flood waters were finally receding. It was like Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hang in there, Noah, better days are coming." So, next time you see an olive branch, just remember it's a symbol of hope and survival, courtesy of that little bird.
What color were the people of Moab in the Bible?
It's unlikely we can know for sure, but logic would tell us that they were probably white to possibly somewhat dark complected. This is because Moab was a decendent of Lot who was Abraham's nephew. Abraham's family were ultimately decendants of Shem, the son of Noah. The African people were unrelated, since they were the sons of Ham the son of Noah.
Why was Joseph not included in the twelve tribes of Israel?
On the contrary, he got two of them, even though his descendants had by far what were not the most numerous tribes (Numbers ch.2 and ch.26). He was given this honor because of his leadership, his forgiving of his brothers, his supporting the family in the famine, and his superlative righteousness.
Answer:
Joseph was considered to be so fertile that the descendants of each of his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh were so numerous as to be their own tribes.

Why did God allow David to live after he murdered Uriah?
God was watching, however, and uncovered the whole reprehensible matter. If God had permitted the case involving David and Bath-sheba to be handled by human judges under the Mosaic Law, both of the wrongdoers would have been put to death, and of course, the unborn offspring of their adultery would have died with the mother. (De 5:18; 22:22) However, God dealt with the case himself and showed mercy to David because of the Kingdom covenant (2Sa 7:11-16), no doubt because David himself had shown mercy (1Sa 24:4-7; compare Jas 2:13) and because of repentance that God observed on the part of the wrongdoers. (Ps 51:1-4) But they did not escape all punishment. By the mouth of the prophet Nathan, God pronounced: "Here I am raising up against you calamity out of your own house."---2Sa 12:1-12.d
God did not curse the mule, He simply told the Israelites that they were not to let their livestock breed with another kind (Leviticus 19:19). Mules were not allowed, but they were used early in the period of the kings (II Samuel 13:29; I Kings 1:33, etc). They were imported from Togarmah (Ezekiel 27:14). The Hebrew term pered undoubtedly refers to the mule.

How were Rebekah and Isaac related before being married?
According to the Book of Genesis, the patriarchal family line is a self-contained unit, originating solely in Terah, with no pathways to or from the outer world. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and even Joseph were all descended on both sides from Terah.
Sarai was Abram's sister and therefore not only Isaac's mother but also his aunt, so that any further genetic relationship would be, in effect, doubled. Rebekah was the daughter of Bethuel, Isaac's own cousin through Nahor. Bethuel was also the son of Isaac's own cousin Milcah. Jacob, in turn married his cousins, Rachel and Leah. In this story, Rebekah and Isaac were closely related, as second cousins on both sides, separated by one generation through Nahor and Bethuel, or two generations through Haran, Milcah and Bethuel.
How many years in history before Christ?
It depends on who you ask, really. The Christians believe that the world is somewhere around 6,000 years old, therefore making it roughly 4,000 years in history before Christ. Many scholars disagree, with answers ranging from 1,000 to even 10,000 years before Jesus. These theories come from "doing the math" generation to generation mentioned in the Bible, along with dates and/or times specified by the writings in the Bible. If you were to ask someone who was not religous, the answers range from 10,000 years to well over 65 million. Carbon dating is a way that scientist figure out the age of material(s). The truth of it is, however, that science has, in the past, been wrong, meaning that two or more scientist carbon dated the same material and came up with different answers. So it really boils down to your personal beliefs.
(Disclaimer: The following portion is from a scientist,)
Actually the world is about 4.6 billion years old. If you are talking about how long humans (in their current form) have been around it's closer to 100,000 years. Humans have a rich history, the majority of which was hunting and foraging. Depending on how you define "history", it could be from when writing was invented, the birth of Christ, or the tens of thousands of years before homo sapiens started making written accounts.
Modern-day Judea is located in the southern part of the West Bank, which is a territory in the Middle East.

How many baby boys were killed when Pharaoh was trying to kill baby Moses?
Egypt occupies a very large territory and any instruction to kill Hebrew babies would have to have been put in writing and distributed throughout the land, but no such written instruction has ever actually been found in Egypt, and in fact there is no record that even hints of the presence of the Israelites there, so we must rely on the biblical account. The Bible says that the pharaoh ordered all the new-born Israelite boys to be cast into the river.
Since Moses lived to be 120 years old, he must have already been 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt. And we know that the Bible attributes his survival to the pharaohs daughter. This passage implicitly assures us that, apart from Moses, there could scarcely have been any Israelite males under eighty years old, although other passages do seem to contradict this.
Who is Jonathan's mother in the bible?

Why did the Israelites choose to follow kings instead of judges?
Kings were able to control anyone. Judges only helped people, and they weren't as powerful as the kings. The judges were more like the king's servant, like the Egyptian scribes, priests, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is Romans in the old or New Testament?
Other answers from our community:
Some consider Acts of the Apostles to be a history of the early Church.
Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John give the history of Jesus. That is why they are called the Gospel, or good news. Acts gives the History of the early Christians, and the spread of Christianity throughout Israel, Asia Minor, and Europe.
Acts is the one that contains most history in a concentrated form and is the only one that could be considered as 'pure history'. The Gospels contain 'history' of a different kind as their main focus is also on the life, teachings, and miracles of Jesus. They are thus history with a very clear focus and concentrated on a relatively short period of time.
The Gospels record the history of Christ's time on earth. Acts records the history of the beginning of the church. All Bible books have SOME history in them, but the 'New Testament' books that come to mind are the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as they give an account of Jesus' life and ministry. Also, Acts, since it's basically the history of the early Christian congregation and the beginning of the Christian preaching work.
Acts of the Apostles.

Why was Joseph sold for only 20 pieces of silver?
The Scripture plainly states that Joseph was sold to Midianites for 20 shekels of silver (Genesis 37:28). But the question is why and the Scripture does not directly say. However, the reader may infer that 20 shekels was the going rate at that time but that does not reconcile with later Israelite law for 30 shekels found in Exodus 21:32. The reader may consider the Midianites (term used interchangeably with Ishmaelites as both were sons of Abraham and wandering Arab traders) coming upon this scene sensed foul play and bargained for the lesser price for their silence. Conjecture but plausible with the ways of men, even today.
In any event, the reader can see how commentaries and the above explaination are only the views of someone and not direct from Scripture which is silent on this topic - yet provides enough information for these differing viewpoints.
How long is 300 cubits long 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high?
Well, honey, I'm not Noah building an ark, but if we do the math, 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high would give you a space of 450,000 cubic cubits. So, if you need to store a whole bunch of animals or treasures, you're all set!

How are the 8 beatitudes different to the 10 commandments?
The 10 commandments teach you to have the single Faith in ONE God, not to indulge in blasphemy, never to forget the lord's day, to honor the parents, not to commit sins like killing, adultery, stealing, false witness, not to be envious and wanting for others women an property.
The 8 beatitudes preach you about the importance and blessed gift of having compassion, love, apathy, righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, harmony and peace, sacrificing the life for the sake of righteousness.
They are essentially the same in concept. However, there are EIGHT beatitudes and Ten commandments.
The Ten Commandments define what sin is: [I John 3:4].
The Beatitudes define the "attitude" or "character" of God's Children.
