Difference Between Judaism and Christianity? An Orthodox Jew was interviewing a well-known “Christian Pastor”. The Jewish man stated, “other than a certain story”…. This sounded personally and painfully vague on his part, but some Jews refuse to say Jesus’s name because of Exodus 23:13: “Make no mention of the name of other Gods”. Back to […]

An Old Story Made New Again Do you remember this true event? Deity descended resulting in fire, speaking, loud sounds, crowd reacting to the sounds, water, and a promise received? This is the story of Israel at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19), before crossing through the Jordan, to reach the Promised Land. There is a belief […]

This makes reading more fun! There is the command to be fruitful and multiply. Then there is the reality they were fruitful and multiplied. There is a new ruler who acts cunningly. And there is a new ruler who acts shrewdly. The end resort was their labor became cursed. And their end result was their […]

What Did Moses Mean When He Gave His Excuses? What I am about to present as an explanation for two idiomatic statements by Moses concerning his speech is based upon an presumption that I believe is reasonable. That is, when Moses spoke to the Hebrews and to Pharaoh, Moses spoke Hebrew and not Egyptian. Therefore, […]

Who Am I? One study method I enjoy is “Who Am I?”. The first part is where I give facts which leads others to figure out the answer based upon those facts. The more facts given, the more specific the answer. For example, “Who Am I?” 1. Given a land. 2. The given land was […]

Did the Israelites Plunder the Egyptians? Did the Israelites Plunder the Egyptians? I am going to argue that, no, they didn’t. The evidence for the Israelites plundering the Egyptians is Exodus 3:22 and 12:36. Very plainly, every translation I checked states that the Israelites plundered the Egyptians.

The First 5 of the 10 Commandments For those who like chiasms, this helps explain a few things. Unlike the Christian community, Jews combine what we consider the first two commands into one, making them the second command or as the Jews call these, “words” (instead of commands). Therefore the Jews see this list as […]

Only those reading mindlessly will pass over the comparisons between Moses and Joshua; and between the Exodus from the Slave Land and the Entrance to the Promise Land. Both servants being told to remove their sandals due to being on holy ground is just one (Exodus 3:5; Joshua 5:15). Crossing the Red Sea and the […]
