    446 THE SOJOURN OF THE ISRAELITES IN EGYPT. remained unbaptized for anything he says to the contrary; just as the statement of the evangelist, that "as many as touched were made perfectly whole," 1 leaves it doubtful whether all who desired to touch the hem of Christ's garment succeeded in gratifying their wish. If St. Paul had been a sacramentarian, he would have taken care to exclude the possibility of doubt.2 A. B. BRUCE. THE SOJOURN OF THE ISRAELITES IN EGYPT. IN the present rapidly advancing knowledge of Egyptian history derived from Egyptian monuments of various kinds, papyri, inscriptions on tombs, on rocks, and so on, it is become a matter of supreme importance, as well as of lively interest, to ascertain correctly what is the true evi­ dence of Holy Scripture as to the events, and as to the chronology of the events, which befell the Israelites in connection with Egypt. We are perhaps unreasonable if we expect to find a re­ cord of transactions which were of vital consequence to the Israelites, and so occupy a large space in Israelite annals, in the annals of the great Egyptian empire, and more especially when those transactions were calamitous or in any way discreditable to the Egyptian power. But at the same time if the Bible history of the sojourn of the Israelites in l)]gypt is history and not fiction, the facts must harmonize with the condition of Egypt at the time when they are stated to have occurred. It is a matter, therefore, of con­ siderable moment to the cause of Divine truth that we 1 Matthew xiv.

  • The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies
    Vetus Testamentum XL, 2 (1990) THE INTERNAL CONSISTENCY AND HISTORICAL RELIABILITY OF THE BIBLICAL GENEALOGIES by GARY A. RENDSBURG Ithaca, New York The general trend among scholars in recent years has been to treat the genealogies recorded in the Bible with an increased skep- ticism. Whereas past generations of scholars may have been ready to affirm the trustworthiness of at least some of the Israelite lineages, current research in this area has led to the opposite con- clusion. Provided with parallels both from ancient Near Eastern documents and from the sociological and anthropological study of tribal societies of the present, most scholars today contend that the biblical genealogies do not constitute a reliable source for the reconstruction of history.' The current approach is that the genealogies may retain some value for the reconstruction of political ties on a national or tribal level,2 but that in no way should they be taken at face value. This is especially true for those genealogies which purport to be from early Israelite times, such as the lineages of Moses or David. In the present article I will offer some evidence which, depending on how it is judged, may stem the tide described above. The approach to be taken will differ from recent work on the subject, in that it will adduce no external evidence from either ancient or modern times. Instead, I will concentrate on the genealogies them- selves, in particular those lineages of characters who appear in Exodus through Joshua. I anticipate one of the results of my analysis with the following statement: the genealogies themselves 1 See especially R.

  • Unexpected the Women in Jesus’ Genealogy
    Unexpected The women in Jesus’ Genealogy INTRODUCTION TO THIS STUDY: Aside from Mary, Jesus’ mother, there are only four women mentioned in Jesus’ genealogy (Matthew 1). Of course, for every man named there is a woman that played a role in this family tree. What can we learn from the lives of these four women? Why do their names appear when many others don’t? The stories of these four women are unexpected, and God chooses to use them as a part of the story of his redemption in our world. IMPORTANT! Read the story about the woman who will be discussed before coming to each group ​ ​ meeting. Some stories will take too long to read together in person (e.g. Ruth, Bathsheba). ​ Reading ahead of time will help everyone know what each story is about and the discussion will be more engaging and helpful. Here are the women and their corresponding chapters to read for each week: WEEK 1: Tamar (Genesis 38) WEEK 2: Rahab (Joshua 2) WEEK 3: Ruth (Ruth 1-4) WEEK 4: Bathsheba - described as Uriah’s wife in the genealogy (2 Samuel 11-12; 1 Kings 1-2) THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS: Matthew 1:1-16 1 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, ​ ​ Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, 4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, ​ ​ Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, ​ ​ Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David.
