Jephthah's Sacrifice In Genesis 22
From the story in Genesis 22 I would say that Jephthah's thought that when he returned home that the first thing that would come out of his door to greet him would be his animal and this would be his sacrifice to the Lord in return for the Lord delivering the Ammonites into his hands but instead of it being an animal it was his precious daughter that was the first to walk out the door and because of his vow that he made to the Lord it resulted in the sacrifice of his daughter. ( Tullock & McEntire, 2006 p.110).

    John W. Oswalt Summary

    the author and Old Testament scholar John W. Oswalt begins with an introduction in which he presents the argument for the book. In this book, it is divided into two main sections: The Bible and Myth and The Bible and History. However, Oswalt puts emphases on myth and history. Oswalt addresses the Bible and myth, the Bible and history, the Old Testament, and the Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) myth all in ten chapters. However, revelation, myth, and history are the main topics of this book. Oswalt further discusses the differences between Scripture and myth; as well as the issues involved in the Bible’s relationship to history and historiography. Oswalt argues that while there are undoubtedly many surface comparisons among the Old Testament and…

    Exegesis of Genesis 22:1-19

    The book of Genesis forms part of a series of ‘historical’ books that begins with the creation story and ends with the destruction of the kingdom of Judah (6BCE.) These narrated events are in a chronological sequence (Barton 2001:38).It is the first book of the Old Testament and Pentateuch (Barton 2001:12) . Jews name these five books the Torah or ‘the law’(Holdsworth 2005:71). The passage(Gen22:1-19) reveals God’s relationship through a trial with a major character, Abraham. Key themes that are central to the Pentateuch lie within the passage; the sovereignty and grace of God; sacrifice and obedience; the establishment and reaffirming of covenants and the redeeming nature of God. What lies before and after this encounter will be considered to try to determine the ‘original’ intended meaning and to examine its relevance and application for people today.…

    Day of Atonement Sacrifices: Text: Leviticus 16.

    Day of Atonement Sacrifices: Text: Leviticus 16.

    The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a disputed issue not only among the non-Catholics but also among the Catholics. Why should we go to a priest to have our sins forgiven? Don’t we receive forgiveness when we turn to the Lord directly with repentance? I see a lot of Catholics not approaching to this Sacrament because they don’t believe in the media of the priest to get absolution. Reflecting on Zohar’s “Repentance and Purfication”, and Fretheim’s “The Book of Leviticus” I see certain connection between the present Sacrament of Reconciliation and the sin offerings in the Old Testament. This connection springs out of the relationship between repentance and the ritual of sin offering which are part of the sacrament of Confession to some degree. We shall reflect on their connection in the light of the given sources.…

    A Journey Through the Old Testament

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    What Does The Bible Symbolize Japheth

    “GOD SHALL ENLARGE JAPHETH” THE EUROPEAN JAPHETH AND THE CANAANITES God shall enlarge Japheth (Genesis 9:27). Noah went on and stated that God will enlarge Japheth, this was prophetic utterance which was pronounced on Japheth’s offspring’s, which have to do with the expansion of territories. The name Japheth itself means “enlargement”. The Bible never told us that Noah ever said bless the Lord God of Japheth, but he only said bless the Lord God of Shem, which means through Shem’s offspring the Messiah “Jesus” will descent. Jesus was an offspring of a Semitic Arab, and not from the offspring of European Japheth.…
