Tanakh and Talmud

It is difficult to provide an exact number of people named Jacob in the world as it varies over time. However, Jacob is a common name in many countries and is likely to be found in multiple regions globally.

There is no definitive information available publicly that confirms whether Jacob is left-handed or right-handed.

The word chronicle is a record of what happened in a kings rule , and it was kept to be read later. For example we see in the book of Esther , the king could not sleep and he called for the chronicles to be read .

Christian answer: There are many reasons why Biblical figures did what they did, they were predestined to do it from before time, and also the blessed son of Jacob was a picture of Christ, the Messiah, to whom Joseph was to be a great ancestor. Jacob chose to bless Joseph because Jacob saw a special something inside Joseph that he did not see in his other sons; this was why Jacob chose Joseph for his gift of the multicolored coat. Joseph was betrayed just like Christ would be, by his own brothers/brethren; and just like Christ, Joseph was left for dead; and even more like Christ, Joseph seemingly rose from the dead to be the leader over his brothers, thereby proving Jacob correct in choosing Joseph in the first place; just as God the Father chose Jesus Christ, His Son, to die for the world, though Christ was perfect in all of His ways, as Joseph appeared to be in his tale in the Bible.

Jewish answer:

Jacob blessed:

1) His son Joseph, and Joseph's sons Menasheh and Ephraim;

2) All his (Jacob's) twelve sons, except for Reuben, Shim'on and Levi, whom he rebuked;

and 3) All his (Jacob's) twelve sons, no exceptions.

The Tanakh or Jewish Bible is considered to be God's revelations to mankind, providing the key instructions on how to behave in the highest ethical manner. The commentaries like the MishnaH, Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, and numerous other such books expand and interpret the words of the Torah, the first part of the Tanakh. These expansions and interpretations serve to make the rules of the Torah applicable to daily circumstances and life-issues.

In English it is called the "Holy Ark". In Hebrew it is called the "Aron Kodesh" (אָרוֹן קׄדֶש).

"Praise" is mentioned 214 times in the King James Version of the Bible.

The same as today: the Jordan River and the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith [believing] it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

A Biblical truth common throughout the scriptures is the law of believing. God is pleased when his people believe for and appropriate His blessings, miracles, and deliverance. The events recorded in Exodus clearly illustrate this:

Hebrews 11:23-29 "By faith [believing] Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned."

Well, honey, Queen Esther and King Xerxes didn't have any children together. Esther was actually married to King Xerxes, but she didn't pop out any little princes or princesses for him. So, to put it simply, their royal crib was child-free.

God commanded the Israelites to put fringes, known as tzitzit, on the corners of their garments. This served as a reminder for them to keep the commandments of God. The fringes were to have a blue thread, symbolizing their commitment to the covenant with God.

That's in the book of Kohellet (Ecclesiastes) 1:3 (and many other verses). It can also be found several times in the Talmud; for example, Berakhot 59a.

Call it the Diaspora, Galut, exile, dilution, dispersion, assimilation, etc.

Whatever you call it, you should not be picturing a Jewish tsunami that overspreads

the globe like a blanket of volcanic ash.

The total Jewish population everywhere is estimated now to be 0.2% (two tenths of one

percent) of the world's total population, and Israel has now reached the 50% mark of the

world's Jews.

So when you talk about the "spread" of Jewish people around the world, remember

that you're talking about roughly 1 individual out of each 1,000 , and that they reside

in more than 130 different countries ... a rather thin 'spread' worldwide.

Yes, according to the Bible, God led the Israelites by a pillar of cloud during their journey through the wilderness. This cloud would move ahead of them during the day and would settle in a specific location at night. The Israelites would then set up camp around the cloud.

The term "Jews" originated from the word "Judah," which in Hebrew is "Yehudah." The name change for the Hebrew people did not occur in the Bible. It is believed to have happened later, during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE, when the descendants of the tribe of Judah and other Israelite tribes came to be collectively known as Jews.

No, the Bible does not trace the Hebrews back to a man named Solomon. The Hebrews are believed to have descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, while Solomon was a later king of Israel who ruled after the Hebrews had become a distinct people.

The Torah is comprised of many of the laws of the Old Testement. These are the laws which the Jews lived by (And still do) before Christ brought with Him the New Law which the Jews have yet to accept. The Torah is therfore a part of the original bible and was not combined with it.

Well, you have to establish a timeline for that question. For example: when they were entering Canaan(the promise land), they were only fighting canaanites. No other Israelites were fighting the Israelites when the came to conquer. During the time of the Judges, they also only fougth against other tribes who were attacking them.

But, there were times they fought against each other. For example: when one or several tribes were revolting against God, God will use outside enemies (ammonites, philistines, etc..) or another tribe (not so often) to punish them for their sins. Another time they fought against each other was during their civil wars...(Solomon against David) and (Israel against Judah).

The Ark of the Covenant had no powers. Jews have always believed that only God has powers. As for why God's powers didn't always work for the Israelites, you'd have to ask God. We can only theorize.

khatikh (חתיך), which also means hunk.

No - in its original form Hebrew did not have a J sound (as in Jay).

However, in modern Hebrew the ג (Gimmel - third letter of the Hebrew alphabet) is used with an apostrophe to change it from G "as in Give" to J as in "Jay". This is a linguistic invention to allow transliteration from other languages.

The Jewish religion doesn't have holy men, but prayer services are sometimes led by special teachers, called Rabbis. The Hebrew word for Rabbi is Rav (רב).

A rabbi may be male or female (yes there are Orthodox women rabbis) and they are not required for prayer services.

Jews do not recognize the gospel.

Therefore, to Jews, the first five books of the bible are the Torah, which is:

Genesis

Exodus

Leviticus

Numbers

Deuteronomy
