    Redemption 304: Further Study on Japheth and Balaam biblestudying.net Brian K. McPherson and Scott McPherson Copyright 2012 Melchizedek (Shem), Japheth, and Balaam Summary of Relevant Information from Genesis Regarding Melchizedek and Abraham This exploratory paper assumes the conclusions of section three of our “Priesthood and the Kinsman Redeemer” study which identifies Melchizedek as Noah’s son Shem. Melchizedek was priest of Jerusalem (Salem) and possibly of the region in general. Shem was granted dominion over all the Canaanites by Noah. Genesis 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. Melchizedek is clearly presented as a king. And Abraham clearly pays tithes or tribute to this king after a victory in battle. Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.

  • Interpretation of the Book of Genesis
    INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS BY FATHER TADROS Y. MALATY Translated by Dr. George Botros 2 3 4 AUTHOR’ S NOTE: The Word of God is the food granted by the Holy Spirit to the Church of Christ, to let her live continually renovated in spiritual youth; practicing no incapacity of old age or perishability. My good Lord gave me the grace, during the last few years, to study the Word of God, as experienced by the fathers of the early Church, as Spirit and Life. I began by going through meditations and interpretations of these fathers, in the hope that we also would live with the Spirit and thought of the early Church; enjoying, by the Holy Spirit, the Word of God active in us, until it raises us up to our heavenly Groom “The divine Word”, who is to come on the clouds, to grant us the fellowship of His glories, and to enter with us into the bosom of His Father, to be eternally with Him in His heavens. If I did not commit myself, in my interpretation, to the order of succession of the books as they come in the Holy Bible; My goal was not to author a comprehensive series of interpretations, but to enter with every soul into the secret place of the Word, and to enjoy Him as an eternal Groom, who fills the heart and mind and all the inner depths.

  • Dating the Tower of Babel Events with Reference to Peleg and Joktan
    JOURNAL OF CREATION 31(1) 2017 || PAPERS Dating the Tower of Babel events with reference to Peleg and Joktan Andrew Sibley This paper discusses and seeks to identify the date of the Babel event from the writing of biblical and extra-biblical sources. This is a relevant question for creationists because of questions about the timing of post-Flood climatic changes and human migration. Sources used include the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, and the Book of Jubilees, and related historical commentaries. Historical sources suggest that the Babel dispersion occurred in the time of Joktan’s extended family and Peleg’s life. The preferred solution of this paper is to follow the Masoretic Text and the Seder Olam Rabbah commentary that places the Babel event 340 years post-Flood at Peleg’s death. Other texts of the Second Temple period vary from this by only three to six decades, which lends some support to the conclusion. his paper seeks to identify the date of the Babel incident “These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according Twith reference to events in the life of Eber’s sons, Peleg to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these and Joktan. Traditionally the Babel event is associated the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.” with a division (Genesis 10:25) in the life of Peleg, and this The problem is that even if Joktan was the elder traditional understanding, relating to confusion of languages brother (which is doubtful because the name implies lesser and demographic scattering, is accepted here.

  • The Cosmic Multiplications. 99
    THE COSMIC AlULTIPLICATIONS. BY LAWRENCE PARMLY BROWN. THE extant stories of miraculous multiplication or increase of things in number or quantity were evidently suggested by the natural phenomena of reproduction and growth in the animal and vegetable kingdoms ; the solar or soli-cosmic father-god being the great multiplier as the active or spiritual factor in nature, while the function of the earth-mother appears to have been considered of such a purely passive character that she is generally ignored in the multiplication stories that have come down to us. In the Old Testament we find Jehovah as the great multiplier, especially of men (Gen. xvi. 10; xvii. 2, 20; Ex. xxxii. 13; Ezek. xvi. 7; etc.). Habakkuk says to him: "Thou makest men as the fishes of the sea" (i. 1-1—the Heb. dag = fish, from dagah = to multiply, being "so called from multiplying abundantly" ; Gesenius, in voc). Ezekiel makes Jehovah say: "And I will multiply upon you man and beast. .and I will call for the corn, and will multiply it (A. \\, 'increase it') . .And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field" (xxxvi. 11, 29, 30). In Ps. iv. 7, it is said to the Lord : "Thou hast put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their corn and their wine multiplied (A. V., 'increased')." In 1 Kings xvii. 8-16, a "handful of meal in a barrel and a little oil in a cruse" are miraculously multiplied or increased from day to day, as "the Lord God of Israel" promised Elijah, thus for many days feeding not only the prophet but also the poor widow of Zarephtah and her son who dies and is restored to life by Elijah (doubtless for the solar child born of the widowed earth-mother in the fruitless winter season, in which he also dies to be resurrected in the spring as the season of nature's multiplica- tions).
