  • Yahoel As Sar Torah 105 Emblematic Representations of the Divine Mysteries
    Orlov: Aural Apocalypticism / 4. Korrektur / Mohr Siebeck 08.06.2017 / Seite III Andrei A. Orlov Yahoel and Metatron Aural Apocalypticism and the Origins of Early Jewish Mysticism Mohr Siebeck Orlov: Aural Apocalypticism / 4. Korrektur / Mohr Siebeck 08.06.2017 / Seite 105 Yahoel as Sar Torah 105 emblematic representations of the divine mysteries. If it is indeed so, Yahoel’s role in controlling these entities puts him in a very special position as the dis- tinguished experts in secrets, who not only reveals the knowledge of esoteric realities but literally controls them by taming the Hayyot and the Leviathans through his power as the personification of the divine Name. Yahoel as Sar Torah In Jewish tradition, the Torah has often been viewed as the ultimate com- pendium of esoteric data, knowledge which is deeply concealed from the eyes of the uninitiated. In light of this, we should now draw our attention to another office of Yahoel which is closely related to his role as the revealer of ultimate secrets – his possible role as the Prince of the Torah or Sar Torah. The process of clarifying this obscure mission of Yahoel has special sig- nificance for the main task of this book, which attempts to demonstrate the formative influences of the aural ideology found in the Apocalypse of Abraham on the theophanic molds of certain early Jewish mystical accounts. In the past, scholars who wanted to demonstrate the conceptual gap between apocalyptic and early Jewish mystical accounts have often used Sar Torah sym- bolism to illustrate such discontinuity between the two religious phenomena.

  • The God Who Delivers (Part 2)
    The God Who Delivers (part 2) Review from Creation to Jacob’s family in Egypt? Our last study ended the book of Genesis with Joseph enjoying life as the Pharoah’s commanding officer. After forgiving his brothers for what they had done, Jacob and his entire clan moves to Egypt and this is where the book of Exodus begins. What turn of event occurs in the life of the Israelites in Egypt? Exodus 1:8-11 A generation passes and new powers come to be. A new pharaoh “whom Joseph meant nothing” became fearful the Israelite nation, becoming so fruitful and huge, would rebel against him. The Israelites became slaves to the Egyptians. The Pharoah comes up with what solution? 1:22 Kill every Hebrew boy that is born. The future deliverer is delivered. 2:1-10. A boy is spared, saved from a watery death through the means of an “ark”. Sound familiar? Moses is delivered to one day deliver God’s people out of Egypt, but for the time being, was being brought up in the Egyptian royal household. Moses becomes an enemy to Egypt. 2:11-15. Moses tries to do what is right, but has to flee Egypt for his life so he goes to Mdian. God has a message for Moses. Chapter 3. The Lord tells Moses he will be the one to deliver the Israelites out of slavery, but Moses immediately doubts. 3:11. God tells Moses who He is. 3:14-15. I am who I am. God gives Moses special abilities in order to convince the people.

  • A Brief Chronology
    A Brief Chronology B.C.E. is an abbreviation of "Before the Common Era" and C.E. of the "Common Era." The Common Era is that of the Gregorian calendar, where time is measured before or after what was thought to be the birth year of Jesus: in Latin, Anno Domini, the "Year of the Lord," abbreviated A.D. In fact, Jesus' date of birth is now placed in or about 4 B.C.E. Muslims also use a "before" and "after" system. In their case the watershed date is that of the Hijrah or Emigration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 C.E., called in the West A.H., or Anno Hegirae. Jewish time reckoning is only "after," that is, from the Creation of the World, normally understood to be about 4000 years B.C.E.

  • Torah Texts Describing the Revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb Emphasize The
    Paradox on the Holy Mountain By Steven Dunn, Ph.D. © 2018 Torah texts describing the revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb emphasize the presence of God in sounds (lwq) of thunder, accompanied by blasts of the Shofar, with fire and dark clouds (Exod 19:16-25; 20:18-21; Deut 4:11-12; 5:22-24). These dramatic, awe-inspiring theophanies re- veal divine power and holy danger associated with proximity to divine presence. In contrast, Elijah’s encounter with God on Mt. Horeb in 1 Kings 19:11-12, begins with a similar audible, vis- ual drama of strong, violent winds, an earthquake and fire—none of which manifest divine presence. Rather, it is hqd hmmd lwq, “a voice of thin silence” (v. 12) which manifests God, causing Elijah to hide his face in his cloak, lest he “see” divine presence (and presumably die).1 Revelation in external phenomena present a type of kataphatic experience, while revelation in silence presents a more apophatic, mystical experience.2 Traditional Jewish and Christian mystical traditions point to divine silence and darkness as the highest form of revelatory experience. This paper explores the contrasting theophanies experienced by Moses and the Israelites at Sinai and Elijah’s encounter in silence on Horeb, how they use symbolic imagery to convey transcendent spiritual realities, and speculate whether 1 Kings 19:11-12 represents a “higher” form of revela- tory encounter. Moses and Israel on Sinai: Three months after their escape from Egypt, Moses leads the Israelites into the wilderness of Sinai where they pitch camp at the base of Mt.

  • The Monk Encounters the Prophet—The Story of the Encounter Between Monk Bahīra and Muhammad As It Is Recorded in the Syriac Manuscript of Mardin 259/2
    Cultural and Religious Studies, Nov.-Dec. 2015, Vol. 3, No. 6, 349-357 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2015.06.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Monk Encounters the Prophet—The Story of the Encounter between Monk Bahīra and Muhammad as It Is Recorded in the Syriac Manuscript of Mardin 259/2 Abjar Bahkou Baylor University, Waco, USA The Syriac communities have been, since the eighth century, orally circulating the story of monk Sargis-Bahīra. Although its oral tradition is widely spread, the written story is not well studied or publicized.1 Moreover, the oral story (stories) has been embellished and/or distorted and ends with varying conclusions. At a later period, the Christian version of Bahīra was translated into Armenian and Latin where it gained more popularity, as a means of apology. There are a few versions of the story in different languages such as Arabic, Armenian, Latin, west-Syriac and East-Syriac. It is not the purpose of this study to present a critical edition of the various versions of the story. The purpose is to present an overview that will highlight the important historical events embedded in the story and its religious motifs, with the particular attention to the Syriac manuscript of Mardin 259/2. Throughout the story, the reader will be guided to look at the text within its own historical and apologetic context. Keywords: Christian Arabic Theology, Muslim-Christian dialogue, Church History The Text of Monk Bahīra The text of Monk Bahīra is an evidence of how historical traditions may have been perverted for polemical purposes.

With British pressure in 1906, a more formal boundary was established between Egypt and Ottoman Palestine. This study focuses on these events and on the history from 1841 to the present. The study area includes the Sinai peninsula and extends from the Suez Canal in the west to what is today southern Israel from Ashqelon on the Mediterranean to the southern shore of the Dead Sea in the east.

  • Why Did Moses Break the Tablets (Ekev)
    Thu 6 Aug 2020 / 16 Av 5780 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Torah discussion on Ekev Why Did Moses Break the Tablets? Introduction In this week's portion, Ekev, Moses recounts to the Israelites how he broke the first set of tablets of the Law once he saw that they had engaged in idolatry by building and worshiping a golden calf: And I saw, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord, your God. You had made yourselves a molten calf. You had deviated quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. So I gripped the two tablets, flung them away with both my hands, and smashed them before your eyes. [Deut. 9:16-17] This parallels the account in Exodus: As soon as Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he became enraged; and he hurled the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain. [Exodus 32:19] Why did he do that? What purpose did it accomplish? -Wasn’t it an affront to God, since the tablets were holy? -Didn't it shatter the authority of the very commandments that told the Israelites not to worship idols? -Was it just a spontaneous reaction, a public display of anger, a temper tantrum? Did Moses just forget himself? -Why didn’t he just return them to God, or at least get God’s approval before smashing them? Yet he was not admonished! Six explanations in the Sources 1-Because God told him to do it 1 The Talmud reports that four prominent rabbis said that God told Moses to break the tablets.

  • Chronology of Wilderness Wanderings
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com CHRONOLOGY OF WILDERNESS WANDERINGS INTRODUCTION It matters where things happened in the Bible. It matters when things happened in the Bible. The Bible tells us only a few dates. Only a handful of locations are undisputed. One thing we know for absolute sure is Mt. Sinai is in Arabia (Gal. 1:17 4:25). The traditional location of Mt. Sinai is wrong. In the time of Paul Arabia did not extend past the Gulf of Aqaba. Believe the Bible, it is the word of God. SUMMARY We subscribe to the conclusions of Bible.ca who propose the following map of the wilderness journey: There are three wilderness journeys: the first [Red Arrows] is from Goshen in Egypt to Mount Sinai (first white spot); the second [Blue Arrows] is from Mount Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (second white spot); the third [Yellow arrows] is from Kadesh Barnea to Jericho (third spot). Bible.ca provides more detailed maps. However, we like this high level view because the precise location of Mt. Sinai and Kadesh Barnea cannot be proven. The main point for the Bible student to realise is all of what is called the Sinai Peninsula today was part of Egypt until 106 AD when the Romans annexed it. The whole purpose of the Exodus was to draw God’s people out of Egypt. If Mt. Sinai was in Egypt the whole mission would have Bible.ca provides solid arguments why the traditional Red Sea routes been a failure. cannot fit the Biblical account. The route they propose fits Paul tells us Mt.

  • Today's Bible Story Is About Crossing the Jordan River and Conquering Jericho
    The Story (7.5): The Battle Begins 08/29/2021 Joshua 6:2-5 Rev. Dr. Sunny Ahn Today's Bible story is about crossing the Jordan River and conquering Jericho. After 40 years of the honeymoon in the wilderness, God and God's people are about to move into their new home in the Promised Land—Canaan. This moving is not gonna be an easy one for God's people as they face a wall of the Jordan River, a land of warriors, and powerful cities on the way. So, God prepares them, starting with their new leader and God's new partner, Joshua, by strengthening his heart, mind, and soul with a commend, "Be strong and very courageous." Now, it is the time for Joshua and God's people to put their faith in action for crossing the Jordan River and conquering Jericho. Crossing the Jordan River was one of the key events in Israel's history. Just as God brought God's people out of the land of bondage by dividing the Red Sea, so God brings them into the Promised Land by dividing the Jordan River. No armies were chasing Israel this time as in Egypt. They could have built boats and taken their time to cross the Jordan River, but God led them by dividing the Jordan River for three reasons: First, to put His confirmation on Joshua as Moses' authorized successor. He says in Joshua 3:7, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you." Second, God aimed to strengthen the people's faith that He is with them and will give them victory in the battles ahead (Joshua 3:10).

  • A Brief Response to an Alternate Mount Horeb
    A Brief Response to the Alternate View Placing Mount Horeb in Midian by William D. Barrick, Th.D. The Master’s Seminary Sun Valley, CA 1. Claim: Mt. Sinai is in Arabia (Gal 4:25). Response: a. “Already in classical times identifications [of the Hyksos] had begun to proliferate. Josephus records that ‘some call them Arabs,’ a statement not so inexplicable as once thought. This derives solely from the constant use of ‘Arabia’—that is, the ‘East’—in classical writers to designate the regions of Asia closest to the Suez frontier, regions that in pharaonic times would have been known collectively as ‘the northern countries,’ namely Palestine and Syria.” – Donald B. Redford, Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1992), 99. “One ethnic element that was to play an important role as an intermediary here was the enclave of the Arabs. Egypt until the end of the second millennium had maintained a working relationship with the early tribes of the ‘Arabah in an effort not only to mine the material resources of the region but also to control the incense trade” (349). b. The ancient Greek geographer Strabo (64 B.C.-ca. A.D. 25) described the borders of Arabia as the Nile River in the west and the Persian Gulf at the east (Geography 16:4:2; 17:1:30-31). The translators of the Septuagint extended the borders of Arabia so far west that the land of Goshen in Egypt was included (kai; katoikhvsei~ ejn ghÊ` Gesem ∆Arabiva~, and you shall settle in the land of Gesem of Arabia, Gen 45:10).
