This is not surprising, considering that some of his descendants built engineering marvels like the Egyptian pyramids. One of his distant descendants, also known as a carpenter (Mark 6:3), would give His life on a cross of wood so that we could be forgiven of our sins. The daily labors of animal care on the Ark probably required the presence of a workshop. Tools, wagons, and cages may have undergone occasional maintenance and repairs. In addition, Noah and his family may have done woodworking for personal crafts and to prepare for life after the Flood. 9.

  • Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

  • Noah Aboard the Ark… 10) Strange, We Haven’T Seen Another Boat for Weeks
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY GENESIS 7-10 Here are the Top 10 statements uttered by Noah aboard the Ark… 10) Strange, we haven’t seen another boat for weeks. 9) If only I had brought along more rhino litter. 8) I never want to sleep in a waterbed again. 7) Fish for supper – again? 6) Does anyone have more Dramamine? 5) What? You don’t have film to photograph the rainbow? 4) Honey, please stop saying, “Into each life a little rain must fall.” 3) How can I fish with just two worms? 2) God, are you sure I don’t need to keep the termites in a tin can? 1) And as Noah exited the Ark, he slapped the back of his neck and mumbled, “I should’ve killed those lousy mosquitoes while I had the chance!” In the first six chapters of Genesis God goes from good to grieved. After His creation “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.” But by chapter 6, the world was so wicked God was grieved He had made man – and the only way for God to save us was to destroy the earth and start over… And a man named Noah “found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Noah was told to build a boat – an Ark - then gather his wife, his three sons, their wives, and two of every kind of [1 animal on the earth. Noah was obedient… Which is where we pick it up tonight, chapter 7, “Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.” What a moving scene… When it’s time to board the Ark, God doesn’t tell Noah to go onto the ark, but to “come into the ark” – the implication is that God is onboard waiting for Noah.

  • Noah's Wife and Heterosexual Incestuous
    Judaica Ukrainica I (2012), 29–46 No Name WomaN: Noah’s Wife aNd heterosexual iNcestuous relatioNs iN GeNesis 9:18–29 corinne e. Blackmer Southern Connecticut State University [email protected] [Noah’s wife] was a nameless woman, and so at home among all those who were never found and never missed, who were uncommemorated, whose deaths were not remarked, nor their begettings1. I. The terse language and riddling innuendo of Gen 9:18–29, which narrates how Noah comes to curse Canaan, the son of Ham, has engaged the inter­ pretive energies of readers since the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud spe­ culated that Ham had castrated his father2. The language of this narrative, bristling with obscure phrases, loud hints of dreadful sexual transgression, and pious cover ups, has often left subsequent interpreters sensing that the story has meanings that the narrator declines to delineate. Indeed, the only thing that remains clear is that Gen 9:18–29 functions as an etiological myth to justify the permanent subordination of the tribes of Canaan. Canaan commits an un­ speakable sexual crime against Noah’s family that results in the subsequent physical displacement and sweeping rejection of the customs of the Canaanite peoples. Indeed, Israel’s secure possession of the Promised Land is predicated on repudiating the cultural institutions of the preceding Canaanites. Whatever the larger and associated issues, however, interpretive positions have gener­ 30 Corinne E. BLACKMER ally revolved around two broad questions. What was the nature of Ham’s of­ fense, such that when he “saw his father’s nakedness” and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, it merited the terrible curse of permanent servitude Noah pronounced over him3? Second, what was the rationale for the punishment of Canaan and why, if Ham committed the crime, would his son Canaan suffer the penalty instead? Exegetical traditions have identified the deed for which Noah curses Ca­ naan either as voyeurism, castration, or homosexual paternal incest.

  • Seven Mountains to Aratta
    Seven Mountains to Aratta Searching for Noah's Ark in Iran B.J. Corbin Copyright ©2014 by B.J. Corbin. All rights reserved. 1st Edition Last edited: August 30, 2015 Website: www.bjcorbin.com ​ Follow-up book to The Explorers of Ararat: And the Search for Noah’s Ark by B.J. ​ ​ Corbin and Rex Geissler available at www.noahsarksearch.com. ​ ​ Introduction (draft) The basic premise of the book is this... could there be a relationship between the Biblical "mountains of Ararat" as the landing site of Noah's Ark and the mythical mountain of Aratta as described in ancient Sumerian literature? Both the Biblical Flood mentioned in Genesis chapters 6-8 and The Epic of Gilgamesh in tablet 11 (and other ​ Sumerian texts), seem to be drawing from the same historical flood event. Probable Noah’s Ark landing sites were initially filtered by targeting "holy mountains" in Turkey and Iran. The thinking here is that something as important and significant as where Noah's Ark landed and human civilization started (again) would permeate throughout history. Almost every ancient culture maintains a flood legend. In Turkey, both Ararat and Cudi are considered holy mountains. Generally, Christians hold Mount Ararat in Turkey as the traditional landing site of Noah's Ark, while Muslims adhering to the Koran believe that Mount Cudi (pronounced Judi in Turkish) in southern Turkey is the location where Noah's Ark landed. In Iran, both Damavand and Alvand are considered holy mountains. Comparing the geography of the 4 holy mountains, Alvand best fits the description in Genesis 11:2 of people moving “from the east” into Shinar, if one ​ ​ ​ ​ supports that definition of the verse.

The content of the book was collected by him throughout his travels1.” The ‘Hida, like his father Isaac Zera’hia before him, had been appointed as a rabbinic envoy (shalia’h) to collect the funds necessary for the upkeep of the Hebron community.

The Hidden Legacy of Abraham Copyrighted material Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin 1 | Out of Ur Why did the Jewish people need to exist in the fi rst place? It’s an odd question, mostly because Jews are the only ethnic group who would actually have the audacity to ask it about themselves. It is diffi cult to imagine Swedes, Bosnians, or Italians sitting around and pondering that question. Jews have never been able to aff ord the luxury of that lack of introspection. The German liberal rabbi and theologian Leo Baeck put it this way: “The Jews have always been a minority. But a minor- ity is compelled to think, and that is the blessing of being a minor- ity.” So, why does there need to be a Jewish people? It’s quite sim- ple: the Jews were God’s last resort. The Book of God’s Disappointments For a supposedly “Jewish” book, the TANAKH (the Hebrew Bible) certainly takes its time in getting to the Jews. The fi rst eleven chap- ters of the Bible have nothing to do with Jews or Judaism.

    AFTER THE FLOOD 6 OBSERVE “What does this passage say?” Did You Know? Read Genesis 11:10-32 “The Elect” What do you find interesting? What questions do you have? What needs to be What’s in a Name? Shem literally means clarified? “name” and is the word used in the phrase, “make a name.” Shem is also the source of the word, “semite” and Shem’s son Eber is the namesake of the Hebrews. Last Shall Be First In his genealogies, the author of Genesis often places the elect line last. INTERPRET “What does this passage mean?” A Perfect Ten Why do you think the author connects this genealogy of Shem to the flood This list performs a (Gen 11:10)? similar function as the one in Genesis 5, drawing a line of ten faithful descendents. The number ten carries the connotation of completion. Compare this passage with Genesis 5:1-32. What similarities do you see? What Which Ur? differences? What point is the author making? Recently, scholars have discovered textual evidence for a second Ur north of the more famous one to the south. Since that northern region aligns where the Chaldeans resided, it’s likely where Abram’s family originally came from. Why do you think the author includes the lifespan of the patriarchs in his That Ur is much closer genealogies? What is he trying to demonstrate? to Haran. Moving Haran Haran was located on in modern day Turkey about ten miles from the Syrian border. What is the role of the second genealogy in Genesis 11:27-32?

    Christianity 101: “Repeopling” The Earth Course 101 - Lesson 9 Prepared by: Ptr. Ronnie Tejada (Ref.: CBU Foundation to Build; “The Pentateuch” by L. Thomas Holdcroft) MEMORY VERSE: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 OBJECTIVE: To recognize that without God we can do nothing. But, with God nothing is impossible. INTRODUCTION: Quick review. After the flood: - Noah built an altar - God renewed the covenant - Noah planted a vineyard and get drunk - They traveled to the land of Shinar - They settled down and multiplied DISCUSSIONS: Let’s examine what the Bible says about the following: 1.) HOW MANY LANGUAGES DID THE PEOPLE SPEAK AFTER THE FLOOD? The whole earth spoke one language, and they all had one speech. Genesis 1:1 2.) WHEN THE PEOPLE LIVED IN SHINAR, WHAT DID THEY DESIRE TO DO? After the flood, they traveled east until they came to the land of Shinar. Here they lived, and here is where they conceived their great idea to build a tower to reach into heaven. Genesis 11:4 3.) WHY WAS IT DANGEROUS FOR THE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE TOWER? The people were in "unity” with the wrong motive. They could do anything that eventually can hurt them, so God decided to stop them. This is how powerful “unity” is. Genesis 11:6 4.) WHAT DID GOD DO? God came down from third heaven and gave them all different languages. They could not talk together anymore, so they scattered and stopped building.
