  • Chapter Three MASSAH and MERIBAH
    Chapter Three MASSAH AND MERIBAH In this chapter I increase the specificity further by analysing the legends of the waters that flow from a mountain or are associ­ ated with the names Massah and Meribah (Exod 17:1-7; Num 20:1-13). For comparative purposes, the traditions of Beer (Num 21:16-18) and Marah (Exod 15:23-26) are discussed first, even though they properly belong with the thirst stories of chapter one. Beer The simplest account of the miraculous production of water in the wilderness in the days of the desert wanderings of Israel is Num 21:16-18: 16And thence [they traveled] to Beer [Well]; that is the well where Yahweh said to Moses: "Gather the people, and I will give them water."1 17Then the chil­ dren of Israel sang this song: "Rise, well, ,,Z they sanl to it. 18"0 well which the princes dug, which the leaders of the people 4 hewed with scepter [and] staff."5 What can we make of this fragment? It is often described as archaic,6 but such a dating largely reflects past scholarship's predisposition to regard short poems as the original form of Israelite tradition; the somewhat murky contents perhaps contri­ bute to this evaluation. The lack of relative pronoun in 18a and of conjunction in 18c are insufficient grounds for assigning the poem an early date, especially since its present form seems gar­ bled. In fact, the fragment is undatable, but its relation to the Massah-Meribah tradition is clear. Yahweh commands Moses to gather the people, and he himself will provide water.

  • Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The Hebrew title of this book (we'elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words. "The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God's people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis."1 Exodus cannot stand alone, in the sense that the book would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and." The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodus, from the Septuagint translation, meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites' departure from Egypt. "The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament …"2 DATE AND WRITER Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (17:14; 24:4; 34:4, 27-29).

C-MATS Question: What were the final words of Moses? These final words of Moses are a combination of blessing and prophecy, in which he blesses each tribe according to its national responsibilities and individual greatness. Moses' blessings were a continuation of Jacob's, as if to say that the tribes were blessed at the beginning of their national existence and again as they were about to begin life in Israel. Moses directed his blessings to each of the tribes individually, since the welfare of each tribe depended upon that of the others, and the collective welfare of the nation depended upon the success of them all (Pesikta). came from Sinai and from Seir He dawned on them; He shined forth from יהוה ,And he (Moses) said 2 Mount Paran and He came with ten thousands of holy ones: from His right hand went a fiery commandment for them. came to Israel from Seir and יהוה ?present the Torah to the Israelites יהוה Question: How did had offered the Torah to the descendants of יהוה Paran, which, as the Midrash records, recalls that Esau, who dwelled in Seir, and to the Ishmaelites, who dwelled in Paran, both of whom refused to accept the Torah because it prohibited their predilections to kill and steal.

  • Deuteronomy 31.7–32.47 7 Then Moses
    Deuteronomy 31.7–32.47 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him before the eyes of all Israel: “Be strong and be courageous, for it is you who will go with this people to the land that Yahweh swore to their fathers, to give to them, and it is you who will make them inherit it. 8 As for Yahweh, he is the one going before you; it is he who will be with you. He will not let you weaken, and he will not leave you. Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed.” 9 Moses wrote this torah and gave it to the priestly sons of Levi who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Moses commanded them: “At the end of every seven years, during the appointed time in the year of release, during the festival of Sukkoth, 11 when all Israel comes in to appear in the presence of Yahweh your god in the place that he will choose, you will read out this torah before all Israel, in their ears. 12 Assemble the people—the men and the women and the children and the migrants of your towns—that they may hear and that they may learn, so that they may revere Yahweh your god and observe the en- acting of all the words of this torah 13 —and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to revere Yahweh your god, all the days that you live on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” 14 Yahweh said to Moses: “Look, your days are drawing near to death.

  • “Where Is God When Bad Things Happen?” Psalm 130, Exodus 17:1-7
    “Where Is God When Bad Things Happen?” Psalm 130, Exodus 17:1-7. John 4:7-15 “He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord, saying, ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’” Exodus 17:7 By the Reverend. Joanna Adams Morningside Presbyterian Church Atlanta, Georgia February 27, 2005 This third Sunday in Lent, we continue our journey to Good Friday and to Easter Sunday by means of a sermon series addressing some of the more perplexing questions of faith. Next Sunday we will explore the question “Should I Believe in Miracles? Last Sunday, we talked about Jesus as the way to salvation. Today’s concern is the whereabouts of God when bad things happen. The story is told of an encounter between the famous theologian Paul Tillich and one of his students after he had delivered a particularly obtuse lecture, the theologian that is, not the student. Tillich’s fame and stature were due in part to the fact that he had developed a whole new glossary of terms to be used in the theological conversation. For example, he referred to what the Christian tradition refers to as “God” as “the ground of all being” or “the power of being” or “being itself”. Instead of the word “faith,” Tillich preferred to use the term “ultimate concern”. On the day in question, Tillich’s student mustered his courage after class and said, “Professor Tillich, I very much appreciate your remarks about “the ground of being” and “ultimate concern,” but what I really want to know is this: do you think that the ultimate is concerned about me?” In the student’s question, we hear the echo of the anxious questions of people throughout the ages who find themselves in circumstances of loss and need and wonder where God is, whether God cares, and if God intends to do anything to help.

  • Massah & Meribah
    Corona Season (14.3.21) Exodus 17.1–7 Lent 4 John 19.23–27 MASSAH AND MERIBAH The place was named Massah and Meribah because of the grumbling of the sons of Israel and because they put Yahweh to the test saying, ‘Is Yahweh with us or not?’ EXODUS 17.7 What a question! After all that God had done for them, the Israelites ask, ‘Is Yahweh with us or not?’ Four hundred years of slavery have been brought to an end; a multitude the size of the population of Birmingham have been liberated; they have plundered their enemies; they have seen them not only defeated but drowned; they have been led to freedom by the safest route, guided by cloud and fire, sustained on the march with heavenly food – and yet when the going gets tough they rebel; they grumble; they moan; and they ask, ‘Is God really with us or not?’ No wonder Moses was at breaking point: ‘How am I to deal with this people?’ he cries out to God. ‘A little more and they will stone me!’ It’s not that the people were always complaining. At times they were ready to trust Yahweh. As they watched their enemies flounder in the mud of the Sea of Reeds they venerated Yahweh; ‘they put their faith in Yahweh and in Moses his servant.’ It is easy to accept the good things from the hand of God, but not adversity. In tough times even slavery can seen preferable to freedom. When hunger gripped the Israelites slavery seemed the better option and they turned against Moses: ‘Were there no graves in Egypt that you must lead us out to die in the wilderness? What good have you done us, bringing 1 us out of Egypt?… Better to work for the Egyptians than die in the wilderness!’ Yet despite the complaining God continued to provide for his people.

  • V‟ZOT HA‟BERACHAH – “And This Is the Blessing”
    V‟ZOT HA‟BERACHAH – “And this is the Blessing” DEUTERONOMY (D‟VARIM 33:1 – 34:12) INTRODUCTION: 1. This portion describes what happened on the very last day of Moses‟s life. 2. Following in the tradition established by Jacob goes from tribe to tribe to blessing them. a. Like Jacob, Moses‟ blessing combines prophecy with the blessings. 3. Before leaving them, Moses gives a general blessing to the entire nation: “There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, who rides on the heaven as your help.” 4. Because this is the last portion, this is the one read on Simchat Torah – rejoicing in the Torah – when the annual cycle is completed. a. Simchat Torah marks when the scroll is rolled back to the Beginning. b. Can‟t help but think of what Scripture has to say as all things are being restored: “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.” - Revelation 6:14 CHAPTER 33: THE BLESSING 1. Verse 1: “And this is the blessing (v’zot ha’berachah).” a. The Song was an admonition describing punishments for disobedience. b. The Blessings describe Israel‟s ultimate destiny determined by God. 2. This is Moses‟ last act – to bless the ones who were, indirectly, responsible for his transgression which made it impossible for him to cross over into the land. a. When others might be tempted to curse, he blessed. b. He could do no less that Bila‟am who sought to curse but could only bless.

Bereshit G‑d creates the world in six days. On the first day He makes darkness and light. On the second day He forms the heavens, dividing the “upper waters” from the “lower waters.” On the third day He sets the boundaries of land and sea, and calls forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixes the position of the sun, moon and stars as timekeepers and illuminators of the earth. Fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land animals, and then the human being, on the sixth. G‑d ceases work on the seventh day, and sanctifies it as a day of rest.

  • Division of the Book of Exodus Into Fundamental Literary Units According to the Thought of Its Final Writer-Redactor Presentation of the Research Method Sequence
    Division of the Book of Exodus into fundamental literary units according to the thought of its final writer-redactor Presentation of the research method sequence Wojciech Kosek Abstract. The present paper shows subsequent methodological steps to discover the division of the Book of Exodus into basic literary units according to the thought of its final writer- redactor, the one who arranged the text under to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. In the first step, one ought to make a list of the more essential means of dividing this book, which occurred from the very beginning to our times. It concerns, of course, the version in the Hebrew language, and also its translations into different languages, including the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate. One must take into account also the contribution of the contemporary biblicists done through their translations and scientific discussions and analyses resulting in books or articles in specialized magazines. The comparative material collected in this way will answer the question about the criterion for the division of the text: is there visible an original logic in the contemporary editions of the Bible according to which the last editor-writer finally shaped this holy text? What is this original logic? Can this be discovered with scientific credibility? The second step of the methodological looking for the original division of the Book of Exodus will be a through-out reading of the Hebrew text. For providing the fulfillment of the requirement to read the text profoundly, one will involve the principle of theocentrism as the essential criterion for this task.

  • March 15, 2020 Taking God to Court Exodus 17:1-7
    March 15, 2020 Taking God to Court Exodus 17:1-7 Not so long ago there were two high profile cases when God was put on trial. In 2005, Pavel Mircea, a Romanian convict was serving time for murder. He tried to sue God for breach of contract. “He was supposed to protect me from all evils and instead he gave me to Satan who encouraged me to kill,” was Mircea’s argument. Then in 2007, Nebraska state senator, Ernie Chambers filed his own lawsuit against God, accusing the Almighty of “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues,” and the like. As we might have predicted, both lawsuits were dismissed. Since God doesn’t have a legal address, the presiding judges argued, he can’t be summoned to appear in court. Our reaction is to laugh at such craziness. But in this week’s reading from the book of Exodus, we encounter a courtroom scene out in the desert even more dramatic than the charges of Mircea and Chambers’. We could use C.S. Lewis’ pointed phrase, “we find God in the dock” God is put on trial. God---his legal address notwithstanding---showing up of his own accord to face the accusations of the people. The setting is the wilderness of Rephidim. Newly freed from slavery, the Israelites have been traveling from place to place under God’s command. They’ve seen pillars of cloud and fire. They’ve seen manna rain down from the heavens and quail appear to ease their hunger. But now they’re camped in the wilderness, water has run out, and dehydration for them is imminent.
