Tanakh and Talmud

Moses is considered more important than Abraham in the Jewish religion because he is regarded as the greatest prophet and leader in Judaism. Moses is credited with receiving the Torah directly from God at Mount Sinai and leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. His role in delivering the Ten Commandments and establishing the covenant between God and the Jewish people solidifies his significance in Jewish tradition. Abraham, on the other hand, is revered as the patriarch of the Jewish people and the first to enter into a covenant with God, but Moses' pivotal role in shaping Jewish law and history elevates his importance in Jewish theology.

Well, isn't that a lovely question! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were likely young men when they faced the fiery furnace. While their exact ages aren't mentioned in the Bible, what truly matters is their courage and faith that inspired many. Just like a happy little tree, they stood tall and strong in their beliefs, no matter their age.

Yes, according to the biblical account in the Book of Exodus, the plagues affected both the Egyptians and the Hebrews living in Egypt. However, there is a distinction made in the text that some of the later plagues, such as the boils and the hail, specifically spared the land of Goshen where the Hebrews lived. This was seen as a demonstration of God's protection and favor towards the Hebrew people amidst the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians.

Oh, dude, at the time of Joshua, the people living in Jericho were Canaanites. They were just chilling in their city, probably not expecting some dude named Joshua to come along and make their walls come tumbling down. It was like a real estate nightmare for them, I guess.

He was about 97 years old. He was born about 1858 BC, when Isaac his father was 60 years old. (Gen 25:26). Jacob was 77 years old when he left Beer-sheba for the land of his foreparents, a land where he spent the next 20 years. (Gen. 28:10, 31:38).

Abraham's father was Terah, and his mother was a woman named Amatlah, daughter of Carnabu.

According to the Book of Genesis ch.11, Terah was the son of Nahor, who was the son of Serug, who was the son of Reu, who was the son of Peleg, who was the son of Eber, who was the son of Shelah, who was the son of Arpachshad, who was the son of Shem, who was one of the sons of Noah.

Terah had three sons: Abram, Haran, and Nahor. According to Genesis 20:12, Sarah, Abraham's wife, was his half-neice (Terah's granddaughter by a wife other than Abraham's mother). Terah lived in "Ur of the Chaldees," where his son Haran died, leaving behind his son Lot. Terah later migrated with Abraham (probably his youngest son) and Lot (his grandson), together with their families, from Ur. He intended to go with them to Canaan but he stayed in Harran, where he died at the age of 205 years (Genesis 11:24-32). Abram moved his family out of Harran when Terah was 145 years old (Gen 11:31,32). The Book of Joshua reports that Terah worshipped other gods (Josh. 24:2).

The Midrash regards Terah as wicked (E.g., Numbers Rabbah 19:1; 19:33). Rabbi Hiyya said that Terah manufactured idols and told the following account: Terah once went away and left Abraham to mind the store. A woman came with a plateful of flour and asked Abraham to offer it to the idols. Abraham took a stick, broke the idols, and put the stick in the largest idol's hand. When Terah returned, he demanded that Abraham explain what he had done. Abraham told Terah that the idols fought among themselves and the largest broke the others with the stick. "Why do you make sport of me?" Terah cried, "Do they have any knowledge?" Abraham replied, "Listen to what you are saying!" Terah then delivered Abraham to King Nimrod for punishment (Genesis Rabbah 38:13). The Zohar says that when God saved Abraham from Nimrod's furnace, Terah repented (Zohar, Bereshit 1:77b). Rabbi Abba b. Kahana said that God assured Abraham that his father Terah had a portion in the World to Come, meaning that Terah repented of his idolatry before dying (Genesis Rabbah 30:4; 30:12).

The Bible doesn't say when she died.

ANSWER

Although the Bible does not give many details of Esther's life, Persian records do. Esther was born about 492BC and was 14 when she became Queen. She was the wife of the Persian King Xerxes [aka "Ahasuerus" in many Bibles] who ruled Persia from 486 to 465 BC.

She had one son with King Ahasuerus, named Darius, who became King Darius II. Esther had brought him up to be favorable to the Jews and he later rebuilt the holy Temple in Jersusalem. It is believed that Esther's life extended into the reign of her stepson, Artaxerxes. but the date of her death is not known. However, just because you don't know when someone died doesn't mean they didn't exist. Jewish and Persian tradition is that Queen Esther's tomb is in Hamadan, also known as Ecbatana, located in what is now western Iran.

Her son Esau always disliked her, since she saw through his hypocrisy and favored Jacob.

Many interpretations say her failure to continue onwards in the narrative is indicative of her taking the curse of helping Jacob cheat his father and brother.

when the Jews where imprisoned in Egypt< God came (according to the Jewish religion) and told Moses to lead them out of Egypt. the Pharaoh refused< so God sent the 10 plagues. the tenth plague was the Angle of Death, which killed the firstborn son of every family. the only way the Angle of Death would pass over a house would be if (as God told Moses) the Jews put goats blood on their door frame. the Jews celebrate passover as the passing over of the Angle of Death

Psalm 23 contains a total of 118 words in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. The word count may vary slightly in different translations due to variations in wording and phrasing. However, the overall message remains consistent across versions.

• 1) King Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem.
• 2) Through his vast God-given wisdom (1 Kings ch.3), he spoke and taught about God's creations, influencing many nations (at least temporarily) to recognize the wisdom of God. This was similar to the practice of Abraham (Genesis 21:33) and is what is meant by "And he [Solomon] spoke of the trees, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on the wall; and he spoke of the animals, the birds, the insects, and the fishes. And people came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom" (1 Kings 5:13-14).
• During Solomon's time, the Israelites enjoyed unequaled prosperity (1 Kings 4:20).
• 3) King Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes (Kohellet), Proverbs, and Song of Songs.

Just judging by the Jewish culture and values, it's almost certain that the prophet Jonah

had a wife and children, although they're not mentioned in the book named for him. The

Hebrew scriptures are thoroughly frugal in their verbosity. An individual is named if s/he

is an important component of the message, and not named if s/he isn't.

8 gallons = 2.5 Se'ah or a little less than 1 ephah.

The Torah contains 248 mitzvot aseh ("positive commandments"). The Zohar, a mystical commentary on the Torah, indicates that these correspond to the 248 parts of the human body. One cannot perform positive commandments without one's body, and in turn, one sanctifies his physical being through the performance of the Torah's commandments.

To create a slash on a world tour, you would need to organize a series of concerts or performances in various cities around the world. This would involve securing venues, coordinating travel logistics for the band and crew, and promoting the tour to attract audiences in each location. It's important to plan ahead and consider factors like transportation, accommodations, and local regulations in each country.

No. Read Genesis 2. "Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

It seems they are two distinct trees, as they are mentioned by separate names at separate points.

Esther is from the book of Esther in the Bible. If you have the NIV it's probably starts on p.555.

No. Marine fossils are formed when marine creatures die and their bodies fall to the bottom of the sea, where they become covered in silt which eventually hardens into rock. If there ever was a great flood that could cover high mountains, any marine creatures that died would still fall to the bottom of the sea - not up to a mountain top. Nor would they form a scientifically correct geologically column on the mountain, with older species at the bottom of the column and more modern species at the top of the column.

The presence of marine fossils on a mountain top merely shows that the mountain is of recent origin, having been uplifted by geological forces perhaps only a few million years ago. Prior to the uplift, the mountain formed part of the sea bed.

Further, such a flood would not create fossils. Fossils most often form at the bottom of bodies of water were there is little oxygen and where they are repeatedly silted over and protected from mechanical damage. If a flood reached into the mountains, it certainly would not leave deep sediments there, so any marine creatures left behind would be eaten and scattered to the winds. And such fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, usually formed when layers of silt are laid down again and again over many years until they are crushed into rock by the pressure. A biblical flood could not create such rock. At best, it might leave a few pools of mud that might hold a few skeletons--but again, these would not become entombed in sandstone, nor fossilized.

Animal mating refers to the process by which animals reproduce sexually through the union of sperm and egg. It may involve courtship behavior, mate selection, copulation, and fertilization. The primary goal of mating is to produce offspring and ensure the continuation of the species.
