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, […]

Gender Roles within the Sacrificial System Within the Mosaical sacrificial system, gender requirements were specified. How this is important to our topic of gender roles within the church, will be revealed. Before that, let’s notice the gender specifications. The priesthood and the Levitical ministers were all males. This is undisputed, and must be meaningful since […]

Studying Job, we find two conclusions his friends repeatedly came to concerning Job which are theologically flawed. This is because they believed in an unyielding law of retribution from God: Sinners are cursed and therefore suffer; the Righteous are blessed and therefore live a life of ease.

I will not say that Paul consciously alluded to Zechariah 3, but notice how Colossians 2-4 has many parallel thoughts to Zechariah 3. SATAN ACCUSES JOSHUA – Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. • Colossians 2:14 – […]

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. What if these translations are wrong? The main […]

Hands in the Deborah Pericope (I’m writing a chapter on Deborah in my book on The Genesis of Gender Roles, and this is just extra thoughts not in the book) The word “hand” is one of the key words in the Deborah narrative, both metaphorically and physically.

God said to Adam, “The day you eat from it you will certainly die” (Gen.2:17). Satan tempted to Eve, “You certainly will not die” (Gen.3:4). Then Adam and Eve ate but didn’t die. In defending God, some have suggested: 1. They did die that day, spiritually. Agreed, but is that what God meant in 2:17? […]
