    Genesis Bible Study Guide Rev. John Barnes Week 14: Genesis 37, 39 & 40 Review Last week we talked about another turning point in Jacob’s life. He prays earnestly to God in Gen. 32:9- 12. He wrestles with God/a man/an angel/the Angel of the Lord and receives a blessing from him. He receives a new name: “God Fights.” Jacob is wounded in the fight, but also blessed. The theme of the sermon was: When you really meet God you are changed—broken and blessed. It was a confusing passage in that it was unclear why Jacob was wrestling and who he was wrestling. Context 27-28 Jacob deceives Isaac & Esau, Esau threatens to kill Jacob so he leaves to find a wife. Jacob has vision of God and God promises protection. 29-30 Jacob goes to Laban, Laban deceives him with Leah; Jacob has 2 wives and 2 maids. Jacob’s children are born. Jacob’s flocks increase. 31 Jacob leaves Laban secretly for Canaan. Laban follows and catches Jacob; they make a covenant. 32 Jacob prepares to meet Esau. Jacob wrestles with God/man) 33 Jacob meets Esau and they are reconciled. 34-35 Jacob’s daughter Dinah is raped by a Shechemite. Simeon and Levi avenge their sister’s rape by killing many Shechemites. Rachel dies giving birth to Benjamin Isaac dies. 36 The story of Esau’s descendants. 37 Joseph has dreams of greatness that he shares with his family Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers. 38 Judah has an illicit relationship with Tamar.

  • The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church
    ABSTRACT “Much More Ours Than Yours”: The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church by John Lee Fortner This paper investigates the figure of Joseph the patriarch in early Christian interpretation, demonstrating the importance of such figures in articulating a Christian reading of the history of Israel, and the importance of this reading in the identity formation of early Christianity. The paper also illumines the debt of this Christian reading of Israel’s history to the work of Hellenistic Judaism. The figure of Joseph the patriarch is traced through early Christian interpretation, primarily from the Eastern Church tradition up to the 4th century C.E. The key methodological approach is an analysis of how the early church employed typological, allegorical, and moral exegesis in its construction of Joseph as a “Christian saint of the Old Testament.” A figure who, to borrow Justin Martyr’s phrase, became in the Christian identity “much more ours than yours.” “Much More Ours Than Yours”: The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History by John Lee Fortner Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2004 Advisor ________________________ Dr. Edwin Yamauchi Reader ________________________ Dr. Charlotte Goldy Reader _________________________ Dr. Wietse de Boer Table of Contents Introduction 1 Early Christian Hermeneutics 1 The Aura of Antiquity 6 Apologetics of Hellenistic Judaism 8 Scope and Purpose of Study 12 1.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter Provided Fundamental
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provided fundamental ideas of analyze the difference sentence structure portrayed between Meccan and Medinan surahs of Shakir’sQu’ran English translation. It consists of background of the study, research problem, research objectives, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and definition of key term. 1.1. Background of the study Tree diagram has becomes an interestingfield to be investigated of many researchers in the past decade. Therefore the development of research on tree diagram develops constantly. A series of the research have been analyzed the tree diagram as their study on undergraduate thesis (Yun, 2009), book (Haryati, 2015), newspaper (Nani, 2003), magazine (Muhammad, 2012), corpus (Dukes, et.al, 2013), language spoken (Timothy, 2014) and journal research article (Qiang, 2010). Tree diagram is important to understand by assigning an individual tree diagram to each rule and can help to get understanding of ambiguous sentences. Muhammad (2012) said that an ambiguity occurs when a word, a phrase, a sentence can be understood or interpreted in more than one meaning. In another word can say that ambiguity occurs because a word a phrase or a sentence has 1 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 2 unclear meaning.Thus, a sentence can be proved to be grammatically appropriate with the help of structure description. Tree diagram consist of some contexts such as types of sentences, phrases, clauses, and word classes. Some other researchers have already done their study in various focuses of tree diagram, such as pronoun (Timothy, 2014), sentence (Nani, 2003), adverb (Muhammed, 2013), structures (Muhammad, 2012), noun phrase (Haryati, 2015), and types of sentences(Chandni, et.al, 2014).

Investigative Notes on Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall’s Translation of the Qur’anic Surahs’ Names. International Journal of Language and Linguistics. Vol. 7, No. 6, 2019, pp. 286-297. doi: 10.11648/j.ijll.20190706.16 Received : October 7, 2019; Accepted : October 26, 2019; Published : November 5, 2019 Abstract: The Meaning of The Glorious Qur’an of Muhammad Marmaduke is one of the earliest English translations of the Qur’an conducted by Muslims’ translators and the first translation conducted by an English-speaking Muslim scholar. This translation of the Qur’an has been the focus of a number of studies that scrutinise it from different angles. Yet, there has been no thoughtful study dedicated to investigate the issue of Pickthall’s translation of the Qur’anic surahs’ names. Utilising the Contrastive Analysis approach as a theoretical framework, this study aims to fill this gap by assessing the accuracy of the equivalents provided by Pickthall to the 114 Qur’anic surahs’ names. The study consists of an introduction and five sections. It gives a succinct description of the Qur’anic surahs’ names, pinpoints the major features of Pickthall’s translation of the Qur’an, details his own approach in handling the Qur’anic surahs’ names, and analytically discusses the difficulties he encountered when rendering such vital terms of the Qur’an into English.

The proposition of the article is that wisdom in the book of Proverbs is tôrāh-oriented and that Malachi’s use of tôrāh serves to present and elevate tôrāh as Israel’s Wisdom Tradition/teaching. The ideas of hearing, keeping, or forsaking the tôrāh in Prov 28:4, 7, 9; 29:18 correspond to the idea of remembering the tôrāh of Moses in Mal 3:21. Within the contextual perspective of the Mosaic covenant, it is believed that keeping the Mosaic tôrāh constitute wisdom for Israel (Deut 4:6; cf. Ps. 19:7; 119:130). As taught in the OT, wisdom is, in some extent, the manifest expression and outworking of the Yahweh’s law in the heart and life. Thus, in light of the close connection between tôrāh and wisdom in the OT, this article presents a general understanding of wisdom relative to the HB as a background, it examines tôrāh wisdom from selected passages in the book of Proverbs, analyses the use of tôrāh in Malachi’s dialogue and then concludes with a synthesis of the relationship between tôrāh wisdom in Proverbs and tôrāh usage in Malachi’s dialogue.
