In the “Tale of Sinuhe,” the protagonist, Sinuhe, is a servant of the god-king, who rules with divine jurisdiction. Sinuhe’s self perception is defined by his sub-ordinal relationship to the pharaoh. At the start of the tale, Sinuhe describes himself to the readers as “a follower who followed his lord” (Sinuhe, 27). Here, Sinuhe is identifying himself as someone who is ruled by another’s will rather than his own. When Sinuhe learns of the death of his lord, his identity and purpose are…

Many people like to read the Book of Joel in today’s time. The prophet that wrote the Book of Joel was the prophet Joel. The Book of Joel was written between 835 and 400 B.C. The prophet Joel wrote to the Jews during this time period (Allen). The audience the prophet Joel wrote to was the Jews. Joel was talking to the Jews in the Babylonian Exile. At the time Joel lived the Exile was going on. The Book of Joel in the Bible stressed four main points. Joel wanted to warn the people of Judah, that…

Genesis is a book that should be divided in two. The sections, though not equal in length, are 1-11 and 12-50. It should come as no surprise to know that Genesis 1-11 and 12-50 go together. One must know what happened in 1-11 to truly understand 12-50. Genesis 1-11 provides the framework from which the rest of the Bible should be read. Genesis opens with the God creating and structuring all things. The pinnacle of creation is mankind. The creator looks on his creation and recognizes that all…

Abraham and Jacob are alike in many ways. Both men are looked upon with favor by God. Both men had families, are portrayed as heroes in the Book of Genesis, and have entered into covenants with God. God promised them that they would be fruitful and multiply implying that they would have many descendants. In the Book of Genesis there are verses where God says their descendants will be like “the dust ” of the earth, or as the “number of stars in the sky”. When Abram was 99 years old the Lord…

2 Kings 18-25 – The story of 2 Kings continues with the introduction of King Hezekiah of Judah, who is like a breath of fresh air when compared to his predecessors. This is because he does what is right in the eyes of God and tries his best to obey His commandments. YHWH also alters the rhythm of the story a little because He takes a more active role in Judah’s history. When Judah is threatened by foreign invaders, YHWH acts as the defender of His people and does not allow the enemy to…

The flood stories of Noah and Utanapishtim have many similarities throughout the stories. Noah was a man who found great favor in God's eyes. The entire population of mankind had become evil and wicked and God decided to bring a flood to the earth to destroy everyone but Noah and his family. God told Noah to prepare an ark big enough to hold one male and one female from every kind of animal and creature. When it started raining, Noah brought his wife and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth and…

Winstanley only references the Diggers that had “begun to dig Upon George Hill in Surrey.” Later in his defense of the Diggers against Ranterism, he makes reference to “we that are called Diggers,” an inclusive phrase with no geographic limiter. One of the most revealing documents, though, about the development of this network is the manifesto of the Digger community in Iver, Buckinghamshire. The community of Iver Diggers were aware that other Diggers had “begun mannuring the Commons in…

society. The story of Noah and his ark has been around for centuries as a children’s story, however, in today’s society, no one suspects the true meaning it hides within its pages. It is important to remember that the story of Noah was written by Moses as a sacred science and lesson for the following generations that would roam the…

through the leadership of Moses, but they make an important stop at Sinai, where they received the Law. To Canaan’s period took around 40 years (1290-1250) and it is described in Exodus 12-40, the books of Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. During this period, we can see the exodus of Israel through the leadership of Moses, the covenant, the pilgrimage of Israel through the desert, the leadership of Joshua and the conquest of Canaan by the twelve tribes. Moses was an Israelite, but he…

the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble. Moses was the greatest prophets in Jewish religion. He was born in 1400 BCE, and his father was Amram, his mother is Yocheved. After his birth, his mother left him on the Nile and a princess found him and raised him up. He was one of the most important people in Jewish religion who gave the Hebrews a nation, a leader and religion. Moses was very…
