  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • 1 Chronicles 1
    The First Book Of The Chronicles Or Paralipomenon The Argument The Jews comprehend both these books in one, which the Grecians because of length, divide into two: and they are called Chronicles, because they note briefly the histories from Adam to the return from their captivity in Babylon. But these are not those books of Chronicles, which are so oft mentioned in the books of the Kings of Judah and Israel, which did at large set forth the story of both the kingdoms, and afterward perished in the captivity, but an abridgement of the same, and were gathered by Ezra, as the Jews write, after their return from Babylon. This first book containeth a brief rehearsal of the children of Adam unto Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve Patriarchs, chiefly of Judah, and the reign of David, because Christ came of him according to the flesh. And therefore it setteth forth more amply his acts both concerning civil government, and also the administration and care of things concerning religion, for the good success whereof he rejoiceth and giveth thanks to the Lord. 1 Chronicles 1......................................................................................................................... 3 1 Chronicles 2......................................................................................................................... 6 1 Chronicles 3....................................................................................................................... 10 1 Chronicles 4......................................................................................................................

    Nehemiah 12-13 • Nehemiah has been living and working in Jerusalem for 12 years o He’s returned Israel to a place of obedience and spiritual strength it hasn’t known since the time of Joshua § The wall is rebuilt § The city is occupied § The temple is operating § And the people are working and living in submission to God’s law under the covenant o In less than 400 years, the Messiah will be sent to Israel § Which is just enough time for this reborn nation to strengthen § To spread out and repopulate the land § Though always under the authority of Gentile nations God sends in fulfllment of His promises to Daniel § That Israel would be held under Gentile authority until the Messiah’s Second Coming • So as we conclude the text of Nehemiah tonight, we frst read through an accounting of the authority of the priestly line in Israel o It’s important to establish for future generations of Israel that the line of Aaron is still presiding over the temple activities § Arguably, these people were the most important exiles to return to Israel § Remember Ezra stopped during his return to Jerusalem because he noted he didn’t have enough priests among the exiles § So he recruited more to join him o The priests were the one irreplaceable group of individuals within the people of Israel § Without this tribe, the temple services would be impossible to conduct according to the Law © 2014 – Verse By Verse Ministry International (www.versebyverseministry.org) May be copied and distributed provided the document is reproduced in its entirety, including this copyright statement, and no fee is collected for its distribution.

The reason for this is the continued efforts to interpret all kinds of texts from this era or referring to it. Until recently, these interpretations usually accompanied analyses of selected texts or pas- sages from them, particularly the First or Second Book of Maccabees. Even recently, the Hasmonean era was rarely analysed systematically, something that has changed only in the last few years. Over a short space of time, a whole host of monographs on the entire Hasmonean era or selected aspects thereof have been published in various countries. The observations, interpretations and conclusions made in them have not only added a significant amount to our knowledge on the subject, but also contributed to a profound change in its image. One of the most recent of these works is Vasile Babota’s monograph devoted to the office of the high priest of the Jerusalem temple, held by the first Has- moneans, Jonathan and Simon. This book came about on the basis of the author’s PhD dissertation, written under the supervision of Joseph Sievers. This is the latest in a series of theses supervised by this excellent scholar that study the history and significance of the function of high priest of the Jerusalem temple at various points in its history.

  • David's Final Decrees—Divisions of the Levites (C
    © 2021 Nathan E. Brown July 2 – OT Chronological Synopsis – NASB Version comeafterme.com David’s Final Decrees—Divisions of the Levites (c. 971t–970t BC) 1 Chronicles 23 Introductory Statement 1 Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. Divisions of the Levites 2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites. 3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000. 4 Of these, 24,000 were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and 6,000 were officers and judges, 5 and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise. 6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Gershon 7 Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei. 8 The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one class. Kohath 12 The sons of Kohath were four: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 13 The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever.
