The ministry expanded in 2016. BIMT is now a support-based evangelical support-based non-profit 501c3 tax-exempt ministry dedicated to helping people “connect the dots” between the context of the ancient world of the Bible and Scripture. The two-fold purpose of BIMT is: 1. Leading highly biblical study-discipleship tours to Israel and other lands of the Bible, and 2. Providing “Physical Settings of the Bible” teaching and discipleship training for churches and schools. It is our prayer that BIMT helps people to not only grow in a deeper understanding (e.g.

  • Why Visiting Israel?)
    1 Ricardo Motta Pinto Coelho & Consultores em Recursos Hídricos www.rmpcecologia.com [email protected] +5531 3517 9793 2 1.- Introdução (Introduction) A maioria dos brasileiros aprende ainda na escola elementar que esse é um país das infinitas águas. Afinal, temos a maior bacia hidrográfica do mundo, ou seja, o complexo sistema fluvial do rio Amazonas. E não é só isso. Outro grande rio, em escala mundial, o rio Paraná nasce e corre uma boa extensão em território brasileiro. A esses dois sistemas fluviais, de importância global, o país ainda dispõe de vários outros grandes rios (com mais de 1.000 km de extensão), várias províncias ou distritos lacustres, o pantanal, uma das maiores wetlands de toda a biosfera. Esses superlativos lotam os livros das escolas elementares brasileiras. No entanto, essa realidade esconde uma outra, menos ufanista. O Brasil sofre com a crescente falta de água. E não é na Amazônia, nem na bacia do rio Paraná. A água está escassa nas maiores cidades do país, espalhadas pelo planalto central e pelo litoral Atlântico. Nessas regiões, onde se concentra a maior parte dos 250 milhões de brasileiros, graças às mudanças climáticas globais, ao mau uso das águas, e à falta de uma boa governança das águas está faltando água! English Most Brazilians still learn in elementary school that this is a country of infinite waters. After all, we have the largest river basin in the world, that is, the complex river system of the Amazon River. This is not all. Another great river, on a world scale, the Paraná River is born and runs a good extension in Brazilian territory.

  • Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻammudim in the Lower Galilee As a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband
    In the Highland’s Depth Volume 9, 2019, pp. 41*–51* DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/IHD/9/9 ISSN: 2521-9456 (print) Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻAmmudim in the Lower Galilee as a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband Abstract Excavation of a subterranean tunnel discovered in a water cistern at Horvat ‘Ammudim revealed evidence of an unfinished hiding complex dated to the Roman period. The main findings of this excavation, directed by the authors of this paper, are presented here. Important evidence supporting the identification of the tunnel as part of an unfinished complex included oil lamp niches, the location of the tunnel in a cistern, and the overall similarity of the tunnel to similar subterranean complexes in the Galilee and in Judah. The subject of unfinished tunnels has rarely been addressed in the research on hiding complexes. Over seventy hiding complexes, most of them dated to the Roman period, have been identified in the Galilee (Shivtiel 2019, 97–210). These complexes were hewn out of the local rock, and while they vary in size, quality, and number of chambers, they all contain one or more low tunnels that can only be accessed by crawling and that are connected to chambers (for a brief preliminary description, see ibid., 197–198). In addition, they are all located near or within Jewish settlements. In this paper, we present a recently discovered and excavated hiding complex at the Jewish settlement of Horvat ʻAmmudim. This is a rare example of an unfinished hiding complex, a phenomenon that has not been investigated sufficiently.

The professor and his students share a picture of life on a summer dig as they painstakingly unearth a picture of the town as it was in Roman, Byzantine and Medieval times. 8 Studying Western Tradition At the heart of Samford’s new University Fellows Program is a four-semester sequence on the Western intellectual tradition. “Ancient Rome sits at the foundation of that tradition, and Renaissance Rome is the pivot point,” says Fellows director Chris Metress. The first group of Fellows traveled to Rome to examine the remains of these cultures firsthand. 10 Presidential Homes Samford presidents have entertained students, faculty and other university friends in their homes over the years.

    Original Article Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 1 –20 Expansion and exile in © The Author(s) 2019 Article reuse guidelines: the Chronicler’s narrative sagepub.com/journals-permissions https://doi.org/10.1177/0309089219862827DOI: 10.1177/0309089219862827 of the two and a half tribes journals.sagepub.com/home/jot (1 Chr. 5.1-26) Itzhak Amar Bar-Ilan University, Israel Abstract Discussion of Exile in the book of Chronicles is generally limited to questions regarding its duration, scope, and comparisons of its portrayal in Chronicles with that in parallel books (Kings and Jeremiah). The prevalent approach to these questions in scholarship is that the Chronicler does not perceive this exile as a permanent state and usually downplays its duration or the number of people exiled. This is not the case, however, in regard to the two and a half tribes in 1 Chr. 5. Their exile is mentioned no fewer than three times in the genealogical lists of these tribes. I will attempt to explore why the exile of these tribes is relatively prominent in the text and how this contributes to the Chronicler’s perception of ‘all of Israel’. Keywords Chronicles, exile, expansion, Transjordan, two and a half tribes 1. Presenting the problem 1 Chronicles 5 consists of two clearly distinguishable parts. The first part (5.1-26) deals with the two and a half tribes that settled in Transjordan (Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh), while the second part (5.27-41) deals with the genealogical list of Kehat, the son of Levi.
