Israelites

The Bible narrative story I chose was Joshua 2:1-24. The Bible story is about a woman named Rahab. The Bible story begins when Joshua secretly sends two spies to go to the land of Jericho. When the two spies got to Jericho they entered a house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there. However, the king of Jericho was told about the two spies from Israel that entered the house of the prostitute named Rahab. The king was angry and mad. Then, the king of Jericho sent a message to Rahab and said…

hailstorm in Egyptian history struck, A swarm of Locust at all the Egyptian’s crops, Egypt came into total darkness and, the firstborn of all the household of Egypt died. The Israelites recall eating the lamb they slaughtered with the unleavened bread. They also celebrate the Angel of death “passed-over” the houses of the Israelites. 2.

story in God’s overall story line The book of judges shows me how God is very patient and that He would never turn His back on His people no matter what they did as long as they come back to Him. The period in this book was a dark period for the Israelites as they were pretty much messed up. God brought up different judges to save His people as they would cry for help though they turned away their heart in the good times. 2. My…

The history of those who practice Judaism is one that pre-dates Christianity. The history of Judaism is traced as far back as Abraham. The Hebrew Bible tells us that, Yahweh and Abraham had made covenant. In the covenant Yahweh promises Abraham land known as Canaan, the promise land, and an abundance of descendants. The descendants later become to be known as the children of Israel after Jacob, Abraham’s grandson that Yahweh renames as Israel. The people of Israel reside in Canaan until famine…

3:1-2: Amos began chapter 3 by responding to implied (or assumed) objections to his previous edicts. For example, the Israelites believed God’s election and faithfulness in previous generations protected them from judgment. However, Amos provided evidence showing that God’s election of Israel only exposed them to greater judgment because of the responsibility of being God’s elect and their covenant relationship with Yahweh. Author Robert Jamison commented, “the greater the privileges, the…

Samarian means, watchers of the Torah. Samaritans believe that they follow and guard the true Hebrew religion of the ancient Israelites prior to their Babylonian Exile. They believed the true Hebrew religion was preserved by the Israelites who were able to remain in their land during the exile while those in Babylon altered the Torah. Samaritans claim descent from the Israelite tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh - the two sons of Joseph - as well as from the priestly tribe of Levi. Recent DNA…

My understanding of the bible is that Israelites is talking about one god. Jesus changed the world, and influenced other from other religions to convert to Christianity. You had to understand the language to understand the bible back then. Which the bible first languages where Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic. The language of the bible was powerful, well it had well more power in the past than now. Starting with Abram, the Israelites are the ones who wrote the powerful word, and who basically…

Old Testament, God uses prophets as His mediators. They serve as a middle man between God and man. As God’s story unfolds in the Old Testament, we see great prophets emerge during times of great injustice. Among these great prophets is Elijah, an Israelite and worshiper of God under during the reign of Ahab and his murderous, idolatrous wife Jezebel. Ahab himself let his uncertainty and fear drive his passivity, which, even more so, gave way to Jezebel’s evil desires. As Ahab & Jezebel ruled, a…

northern and Southern Palaces, a swimming pool, a richly decorated reception hall, a Roman-style bathhouse, ritual baths, and a synagogue.” However, the brilliance of its well-made, historical and architectural buildings are dimmed as the nation of Israelites remember the suicides that took place there, when the Jews could not bear being overrun. It is written that “Masada, Hebrew Horvot Mezada (“Ruins of Masada”), ancient mountaintop fortress in southeastern Israel,” is the” site of the Jews’…

there were also a lot more of them so they were slower and the chariots were catching up to them. But God being omniscient put a pillar of the cloud to separate and protect them from the pursuing Egyptians. The Egyptians were in darkness, but the Israelites had light. Exodus 14:19 “And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind…
