  • Where Did Cain Get His Wife? Where Did Cain Get His Wife? Genesis 4:15-17
    Where did Cain get his wife? Where did Cain get his wife? Genesis 4:15-17. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch Where did Cain get his wife? On 10 July1925, in Dayton Tennessee, the so-called “Monkey Trial” began. John Thomas Scopes, a young high school science teacher, was accused of teaching evolution in violation of a Tennessee state law. The law, which had been passed in March, made it a misdemeanour punishable by fine to “teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” With local businessman George Rappalyea, Scopes had conspired to get charged with this violation, and after his arrest the pair enlisted the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to organize a defense. Where did Cain get his wife? Hearing of this coordinated attack on Christian fundamentalism, William Jennings Bryan, the three-time Democratic presidential candidate and a fundamentalist hero, volunteered to assist the prosecution. Soon after, the great attorney Clarence Darrow agreed to join the ACLU in the defense, and the stage was set for one of the most famous trials in U.S.

  • The Book of Jubilees and the Midrash on the Early Chapters of Genesis
    THE BOOK OF JUBILEES AND THE MIDRASH ON THE EARLY CHAPTERS OF GENESIS ZVI RON The Book of Jubilees is a retelling of Genesis and the beginning of Exodus in the form of an angel speaking to Moses. It was written by a Jew in Hebrew some time around the early second century BCE, perhaps even earlier. The original Hebrew is lost to us today; our translations are based primarily on Ethiopic texts. The main focus of the work is to demonstrate that the narra- tives in the early part of the Bible contain legal instruction, although the legal elements are hidden in the biblical narrative.1 Jubilees often supplements the biblical narratives with additional information, in much the same way as the Midrash; at other times Jubilees provides a resolution to a difficulty in the biblical text, another concern of the Midrash. As such, the Book of Jubilees may be categorized as an early form of midrashic literature.2 Some of the interpretations in Jubilees are, in fact, preserved in later midrashic literature. The title "Book of Jubilees" reflects the author's particular way of viewing the chronology of the world as a series of forty-nine year cycles, but it was also sometimes referred to as "The Little Genesis" (Bereshit Zuta in Arama- ic),3 since it is an abbreviated retelling of Genesis.4 Jubilees was not incorpo- rated into rabbinic literature, as it differs in some very fundamental legal points, most famously its insistence on a purely solar calendar, as opposed to the rabbinic lunar/solar model,5 and stringencies regarding Shabbat ob- servance.6 In this article we will show how Jubilees dealt with various diffi- culties in the text of Genesis in ways sometimes similar to and sometimes very different from the later rabbinic midrashic literature.

    Welcome to the Realm of the Shining Ones! From Transylvania to Tunbridge Wells The history and etiquette of Vampirism in the Home Counties~ A collection of essays on the Derkesthai Culture with accompanying extracts from the Dragon Court archives by Nicholas de Vere Sovereign Grand Master - The Imperial and Royal Dragon Court Edited and Illustrated by - H.E. Michael Hunter B.A. - Archaeological and Anthropological Consultant - Baron Richard Dufton B.A. - Dedication This work is dedicated to the memory of an Elven Princess of the House of Llewelyn who opened her heart in love, threw the doors of Elphame wide and gave birth to the Sovereign Dragon Nation once more; and to the Grail Maidens and Dragon Princesses who are the sole and rightful custodians of Eternity’ Extracts from this collection first appeared in Mr. Laurence Gardner's book 'Genesis of the Grail Kings' with the kind permission of HI&RH Prince Nicholas de Vere, who also formerly permitted further extensive essay and research material, and archival extracts from the Dragon Collection to form the bulk of Mr. Gardner's September 1999 'Nexus Lectures' and his next book 'Ring Lords of the Dragon' which, although due to be published by Element Books in September 2000, has now apparently either been abandoned or renamed’ From Transylvania to Tunbridge Wells Frontispiece "The Beast, the Dragon, the terrible monster, is the disguise of the beloved; the horror to be overcome itself is, or contains, the Reward’ Beauty and the Beast must be conjoined’ The old tag that a serpent becomes not a Dragon save by devouring another serpent, has an Alchemical sense: These are the two Dragons, male and female: they destroy one another, or one destroys the other and a new and mightier one is born, a fiery wonder: A Phoenix (traditionally depicted as having red and gold plumage*), a leaping glory, a STAR of dream ascending to the throne of the world.

A CIP catalogue record for this title is available from the British Library. Dedication This story is especially dedicated to Zechariah Sitchin and the other subsequent translators of the Sumerian texts, who have shown us that the Creation Story may well have been much older and different to what historians tell us. Foreword The literature of ancient Sumer, which is around 6,000 years old, is so far the earliest translated literature pre-dating the Bible. That said, we should look to Sumerian literature as the source of information on the global flood, the wars of heaven and Earth, the ancient gods, the creation of mankind, and the fall of humanity. There are recorded details of these momentous events in Sumerian historical literature, making it the real Bible for humankind.

  • Where Did Cain Get His Wife? 1
    Where Did Cain Get His Wife? 1 This question, "Where did Cain get his wife?" has, probably, been asked more than any other single question, when it comes to questions concerning subjects in the Bible. Those, of us who believe in the infallibility of God's Word are expected to be staggered into utter silence when asked this apparently unanswerable question. However, if this question, (supposedly the hardest nut to crack), has a satisfactory answer, isn't it reasonable to suppose that all other questions concerning difficulties in the Bible, which we are not yet able to understand, have an acceptable answer as well? The story of Cain begins at the beginning of time, back in the Garden of Eden; back before the curtain of sin had rung down on the fairest scene this world has ever known. Senator Taylor of Tennessee once painted a beautiful word-picture of the Garden of Eden. We are apt to forget the glories and the grandeur of this home where God placed our first parents. Senator Taylor wrote, describing the Garden of Eden, "It glowed with ineffable beauty, rimmed about with blue mountains, from whose moss-covered peaks, a thousand glassy streams spread out ten- thousand bridal veils, catching a thousand rain-bows from the sun, gorgeous in their coloring. Grapevines staggered from tree to tree, drunk with the nectar of their own clusters. Where peach, plum and blood-red cherries, bending bough and bush, hung like drops of rubies and pearls. A wilderness of flowers . spring pulsing with bird song . dappled fawns played upon banks of violets, leopards, peaceful and tame, lounged in the copses of magnolia and lions panted in jungles of roses.

  • Jubilees.” in Early Jewish Literature: an Introduction and Reader, Edited by Archie T
    Todd R. Hanneken, “The Book of Jubilees.” In Early Jewish Literature: An Introduction and Reader, edited by Archie T. Wright, Ron Herms and Brad Embry. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2014. Introduction to Jubilees Introduction The book of Jubilees describes itself in the prologue and first chapter as the angelic dictation to Moses from the heavenly tablets the day after the “first law” was given to Moses (Exodus 24). This revelation retells the basic story of Genesis and the first half of Exodus, with frequent additions, deletions, summaries, and alternate versions of stories. Jubilees infuses Genesis and Exodus with other parts of scripture, including Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Psalms, and the Book of the Watchers. Besides solving interpretive problems (see the sidebar on early biblical interpretation), Jubilees traces legal issues, including festival calendar, to Genesis and asserts the eternality of the laws, originating well before Sinai and enduring forever after. The introduction suggests its contents will cover “all time,” but in fact Jubilees makes only short predictions of the progress of history after Moses. It seems the laws and calendar described in Jubilees are for all time, not that all events of history are recorded in Jubilees. The Four Assumptions of Early Biblical Interpretation according to James Kugel Jubilees is a prime example of early biblical interpretation. James Kugel describes four assumptions that distinguish early from modern biblical interpretation. The first assumption is that the Bible is cryptic—it means more or other than what it appears to mean. For example, Jubilees interprets “on the day you eat of it you shall surely die” to mean “in the millennium you eat of it you shall surely die.” The second assumption is that the Bible is perfect.
