Chronicles: Temple and Kings Seminar 3: the Genealogies of The Discipleship Seminars (DS) presents … Chronicles: Temple and Kings Seminar 3: The Genealogies of the Priests and the Levites Personal Data Protection Act: This session is filmed and uploaded onto the Grace Baptist Church (GBC) website for private use by church members. By attending the class, you are giving us consent to film you.1 (1) INTRODUCTION TO CHRONICLES The book of Chronicles can be divided into two major sections: 1.1 Section 1 (1 Chr. 1:1—9:34) This section can be framed into three major sections: A. “Creation” Adam to Israel (1 Chr. 1:1-54) B. All Israel (1 Chr. 2:1—9:1a) Section boundary markers: 1 Chr. 2:1; 9:1 Internal Structure: Judah (2:3—4:23) Other tribes: Si., Re., Ga., Ma. (4:24—5:26) Levites (6:1-81) Other tribes: Is., Be., Na., Ma., Ep., As. (7:1-40) Benjamin (8:1—9:1a) C. “Re-Creation”: Return to Jerusalem (1 Chr. 9:1b-34) In the last two sessions, you have already cover 1 Chr. 1—4 in some detail. In this session, we will look at two more set of texts: (a) the Levitical genealogy in 1 Chr. 6:1-53 (at the centre of the “All Israel” section) and (b) the “re-creation” section in 1 Chr. 9:1b-34. 1.2 Section 2 (1 Chr. 9:35—2 Chr. 36:31) This second section is about the line of kings in Jerusalem from the beginning (Saul) to the exile (Zedekiah). As such, it has a linear structure. Text “Topic” Line of Kings 1 Chr. 9:35 — 10:14 Line of Benjamin {Genealogy of Saul} Saul 1 Chr. 11:1 — 2 Chr. 9:31 Line of Judah David Solomon 2 Chr. 10:1 — 28:27 Divided Kingdom Rehoboam Abijah Asa Jehoshaphat (Focus on Southern Jehoram Ahaziah Athaliah Joash Kingdom) Amaziah Uzziah Jotham Ahaz 2 Chr. 29:1 — 36:21 Only Southern Hezekiah Manasseh Amon Josiah Kingdom remains Jehoahaz Jehoiakim Jehoiachin Zedekiah 2 Chr. 36:22-31 Cyrus’ decree - In the following session, we will focus on 1 Chr. 9:35—10:14 (Saul’s genealogy and story) while also understanding the broad narrative sweep on the entire second section as well. 1 If you are not comfortable being recorded, please inform the videographer and he will omit you from the final video that will be uploaded. Page 1 of 9 (2) LEVITICAL GENEALOGIES (1 CHR. 6:1-81; 9:1B-34) 2.1 What are genealogies for? Socrates: “What are the subjects that the Spartans gladly hear from you?” Hippias: “They listen with the greatest pleasure to the genealogies of their heroes and men, to the settlement of tribes, and how cities were founded of old and, in a word, to everything concerning antiquarian knowledge.”2 We are often challenged in reading biblical genealogies. One reason is that we may not know what they are written for (“purpose”). After all, if they are merely family trees, what can they tell us? In fact, genealogies, as understood through the ancient mind, are capable of telling us a great many things. There are a great many functions that a genealogy can perform3: 1. ____________ (e.g. dating; census)(e.g. Numbers); 2. Link different stories together (e.g. Genesis); 3. Demonstrate the impact of a historical event by tracing its impact (e.g. Ruth); 4. Help its readers understand their present relationships to other ____________ groups, by understanding their past historical relationships (e.g. Genesis); 5. ____________ an individual in the “present-day” by linking that individual back to important ancestors (e.g. Matthew: Jesus to Abraham); 6. Establish the ethnic purity of a person/community (e.g. Ezra); 7. Assert the continuity of a community through a disastrous time (e.g. Chronicles); 8. Express God’s sovereignty in a divinely arranged plan (e.g. Genesis); 9. Express a theological view of an individual (e.g. Luke: Jesus to “Son of God”); 10. etc This, however, may lead us to our next question: Since genealogies can do so many things, and since a single genealogy certainly cannot be doing all of the above, how can we know what each of the genealogies are for? We can try to answer this question by using two inter-related Bible Reading Skills: 1. Careful observation; 2. Asking helpful questions of the text; These two skills are related, since we observe a text carefully when we know how to ask good questions of it. We will see and practise these skills as we read 1 Chr. 6:1-53 in the next section. 2 Gary Knoppers, I Chronicles 1-9, Anchor Bible Commentary (New York, N.Y.: Anchor Bible, 2004), 245. 3 Adapted from, with additions and amendments from me, from Marshall D.

  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

    The Structure of Salvation: Part 12 – Tabernacle and Priesthood P a g e | 1 The Aspects of the Tabernacle I. The Space A. Holy of Holies (Ex. 26:33-34) 1. The heart of the whole worship of God. It is the place in which God dwells among His people. 2. Represents heaven and the Garden of Eden; with cherubim around the throne of God (ark) and guarding the entrance (woven into the veil separating it from the holy place (Ex. 26:1, 31)). 3. Only the high priest can enter and only once a year to make atonement. B. Holy Place (Ex. 26:33-34) 1. Houses the altar of incense, the lampstand, and the table of showbread. 2. Only the priests may enter to do the duties of worship. C. Outer court (Ex. 27:9-19) 1. Has the altar of burnt offering and the wash basin. 2. Items made of bronze, as opposed to gold in the holy place and holy of holies. 3. Non-priests may enter but only to bring offerings. II. The Articles A. Ark. God’s figurative throne on earth (Ex. 25:20-22; Psa. 80:1; 99:1). The place where God grants atonement once a year for His people (Lev. 16:15-16). B. Altar of incense. The priests were to keep incense burning continually before the veil (Ex. 30:7- 8). The smoke represents the prayers of God’s people ascending to Him (Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4). C.

  • Unpacking the Book #12The Tabernacle
    The W.E.L.L. Stoneybrooke Christian Schools Sherry L. Worel www.sherryworel.com 2012.UTB.12 Unpacking the Book #12The Tabernacle I. An overview There are nearly 470 verses in our bible used to describe the form and furnishings of the Tabernacle and Temple. The bible gives a very specific plan for the building of the tabernacle. However, the temple is not outlined in detail. I Chron. 28:11‐19 does seem to indicate that the Lord gave David some sort of plan or model. The tabernacle was an ornate tent shrine that served the people of Israel for approximately 200 years until it was replaced by Solomon’s temple. This temple served as God’s home for approximately 400 years until the Babylonians destroyed it in 586 BC. When the Israelites returned from Babylon, Zerubbabel over saw the rebuilding of a much inferior temple in 520 BC. This building was damaged and repaired many times until Herod built his “renovation” in 19 BC. The Roman General, Titus destroyed this temple in 70AD. II. The Tabernacle (The Tent of Meeting or Place of Dwelling) A. Consider the New Testament perspective: Hebrews 9:9‐11, 10:1, Col. 2:17 and Revelation 15:5, 21:3 B. Moses was given a model of this meeting house by God Himself (Ex. 25:40) C. The craftsmen Bezalel and Oholiab built this ornate tent. See Ex. 25‐27, 35‐40 for all the details. 1. There was a linen fence that formed an outer courtyard. In that courtyard were two furnishings: a.

  • Holy Anointing Oil in the Bible
    Holy anointing oil in the bible Continue James 5:14 Are any of you sick? Then he must call upon the elders of the church, and they must pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; Mark 6:13 And they banished many demons and oiled many sick people and healed them. Jews 1:9 You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore, God, Your God, anointed you with the oil of gladty over your comrades. Ruth 3:3 Wash yourself so, and anoint yourself and put on the best clothes, and go down to the floor threshing; but don't make yourself aware of the man until he has finished eating and drinking. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord is God upon me, because the Lord anointed me to bring good news to the guardian; He sent me to tie a broken heart, to proclaim freedom to prisoners and freedom to prisoners; Psalm 45:7 You loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, anointed you with the oil of joy over your comrades. 1 John 2:27 As far as you are concerned, the anointing you have received from Him is in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about everything, and it is true and not a lie, and just as he taught you, you are in Him. Luke 10:34 and came up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put it on his beast, and brought him to the hotel and took care of him.

  • Foundations of Biblical Prophecy, Lecture 17 by Robert Vannoy
    1 Robert Vannoy, Foundations of Biblical prophecy, Lecture 17 For our time this morning in Obadiah we will look at some features of the content, and then get on into Joel. As you’re aware, Obadiah is only one chapter, and only 21 verses. So it’s a short book. I have what I think is the best way to break that up into sections. In the first nine verses you have “the pronouncement of judgment on Edom.” Verses 10 and 11 explain “the reason for that judgment.” We looked at 10 and 11 last week in connection with the discussion of the date of Obadiah, and you’ll remember that discussion centers around which destruction or plundering of Jerusalem is involved in those verses, because 10 and 11 says, “Because of violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, you will be destroyed forever. On the day you stood aloof, while strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.” So, it’s for that reason that Edom will be judged. I mentioned last week, that there is debate over whether you should follow 10 and 11, with 12 to 14. In other words, is 10 through 14 a unit, or, do verses 12 to 14 constitute a warning for the future? In other words, you’ve done this, now don’t do it again. I’m inclined to think the latter. We’re going to come back to that and look at it in more detail.

  • Levi References & Notes
    LEVI REFERENCES & NOTES: Ahimelech is of Ithamar’s line; Zadok is GERSHON KOHATH MERARI of Eleazar’s line (1 Chr. 24:2,3,6). Ahimelech murdered at Nob under Saul, Abiathar escapes to David (1 Sam. 22). AMRAM IZHAR HEBRON UZZIEL Abiathar unfaithful as high priest under David (defects with Adonijah); Zadok a faithful priest at time of David (1 Kings 1:5- AARON MOSES MIRIAM KORAH NEPHEG ZICHRI 8). Zadok made high priest under Solomon; fulfils prophecy of taking priesthood from NADAB ABIHU ELEAZAR ITHAMAR SONS OF KORAH house of Eli (1 Kings 2:27, 35) *Therefore Eli must have been of Ithamar’s line. At PHINEHAS some point the priesthood seems to have ELI* passed to Eli from Phinehas (and so changing family lines). PHINEHAS Line of Zadok lasted until the exile and AHITUB also the return (1 Chr. 6:8-15; cf. Ezra 3:2). ETHAN HEMAN ASAPH It continued through intertestamental AHIMELECH (JEDUTHAN) times until Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175- 164 B.C.) sold the priesthood to Menelaus, ZADOK ABIATHAR who was not of the priestly line (2 Macb 4:23-50). By the time of Christ, Roman powers often appointed High Priests for SERAIAH political reasons, and they did not serve *Eli succeeded Abishua or Uzzi for life (it was not a hereditary office). (Josephus, Antiq. viii. 1, 3; v.11, 5). EZRA** JEHOZADAK Key singers/musicians appointed to JESHUA **Ezra was the brother Jehozadak, accompany the ark being bought to JOIAKIM Post-exilic who was taken into captivity by Jerusalem under David (1 Chr. 15).
