  • Outline of the History of Assyria : As Collected from the Inscriptions
    : OUTLINE ov THE HISTOTIY OF ASSYRIA. AS COLLECTED TROM THE INSCRIPTIONS DISCOVERED BY AUSTIN HENRY LAYARD, ESQ. IN THE RUINS OP NINEVEH. LIEUT.-COL. EAWLINSON, C.B. PRINTED FROM THE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. LONDON JOHN W. PARKER and SON, WEST STRAND. 1852. 1^ # [The following Paper was intended by Colonel Rawlinson to form part of the Annual Report, but was received too late for insertion. It was therefore read at the first General Meeting after the anniver- sary. Colonel Rawlinson, in a letter, dated at the camp, Nineveh, 11th April, 1852, states that the paper was drawn up for the information of the Council— " in great haste, amid torrents of rain, in a little tent upon the mound of Nineveh, without any aids beyond a pocket Bible, a note-book of inscriptions, and a tolerably retentive memory."— It is intended to gratify public curiosity upon a subject of vast and daily increasing interest. Mr. Layard having been present at the reading, and having, at the request of the Council offered a few remarks on this interesting subject, he was requested to commit them to writing, and they are here appended to Colonel Rawlinson's importailt communication.] • OUTLINE OF ASSYRIAN HISTORY, COLLECTED FBOM THE CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTIONS, Every new fact which is brought to light from the study of the Cuneiform inscriptions tends to confirm the scriptural account of the primitive seat of empire having been established in Lower Chaldsea, or in the neighbouring district of Susiana, From hence a migration must have taken place in a western direction to the land of Shinar, or Sinlcar, the name of which is still preserved in the ruins now called Senlcereh.

  • Japheth and Balaam
    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.

  • Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam
    Institute of Asian and African Studies at The Hebrew University The Max Schloessinger Memorial Foundation REPRINT FROM JERUSALEM STUDIES IN ARABIC AND ISLAM I 1979 THE MAGNES PRESS. THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY. JERUSALEM PROPHETS AND PROGENITORS IN THE EARLY SHI'ATRADITION* Uri Rubin INTRODUCTION As is well known, the Shi 'I belief that 'Ali' should have been Muhammad's succes- sor was based on the principle of hereditary Califate, or rather Imamate. 'Ali's father, Abu Talib, and Muhammad's father, 'Abdallah, were brothers, so that Muhammad and 'Ali were first cousins. Since the Prophet himself left no sons, the Shi 'a regarded' All as his only rightful successor.' Several Shi 'I traditions proclaim 'All's family relationship (qariiba) to Muhammad as the basis for his hereditary rights. For the sake of brevity we shall only point out some of the earliest.A number of these early Shi T traditions center around the "brothering", i.e. the mu'akhiih which took place after the hijra; this was an agreement by which each emigrant was paired with one of the Ansar and the two, who thus became brothers, were supposed to inherit each other (see Qur'an, IV, 33? 'All, as an exception, was paired not with one of the Ansar but with the Prophet himself." A certain verse in the Qur'an (VIII, 72) was interpreted as stating that the practice of mu iikhiin was confined only to the Muhajinin and the Ansar, to the exclusion of those believers who had stayed back in Mecca after the hijra. They re- tained the old practice of inheritance according to blood-relationship." This prac- tice, which was introduced in al-Madi na, affected the hereditary rights of the families of the Muhajiriin who were supposed to leave their legacy to their Ansari * This article is a revised form of a chapter from my thesis on some aspects of Muhammad's prophethood in the early literature of hadt th.

  • HIDING-PLACES in CANAAN. 61 Separate History of Egypt, in Which All the Most Recent Results Will Be Taken Into Account
    HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. 61 separate History of Egypt, in which all the most recent results will be taken into account. HENRY GEORGE ToMKINs. Weston-super-Mare, N01Jember 16th, 1883. HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. V. THE CAVE OF ADULLAM, OR 0LAM, NOT NEAR AnULLAM, BUT AT KHUREITUN. JosEPHUs says this cave was near the city of Adullam, but William of Tyre identifies it with the well-known and often described cave of Khureitftn, four miles south-south-east of Bethlehem. I propose to show that, for once, mediooval credulity proves victorious over antiquity, ability, and the numerical superiority of its opponents. The explanation is simple enough : the Crusaders' rough practical knowledge of David's outlaw wants was a far more reliable guide than the subtler acumen of literary critics. The cave is named in two Biblical episodes. (1) "David departed thence (i.e., from Gath) and escaped to the cave (of) Adullam" (1 Sam. xxii, 1). (2) "Three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to Davi~, into the cave of Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem" (1 Chron. xi, 15, 16). In 2 Samuel xxiii, 13, a copyist's error gives "in the harvest time " for "to the rock." Hence we learn that there was near the cave some conspicuous rock or eminence, as well as some hold or fortress. It seems to me that this same hold is referred to in the following passages :-1 Samuel xxii, 4, 5; 1 Chronicles xii, 8, 16; 2 Samuel v, 17; and just possibly 1 Samuel xxiv, 22.

Here it not fair to the men, and gomorrah had sent us that the day of god protects those of those.

  • Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book comes from its traditional writer, as is true of all the prophetical books of the Old Testament. The name "Zechariah" (lit. "Yahweh Remembers") was a common one among the Israelites, which identified at least 27 different individuals in the Old Testament, perhaps 30.1 It was an appropriate name for the writer of this book, because it explains that Yahweh remembers His chosen people, and His promises, and will be faithful to them. This Zechariah was the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo (1:1, 7; cf. Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah, like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, was both a prophet and a priest. He was obviously familiar with priestly things (cf. ch. 3; 6:9-15; 9:8, 15; 14:16, 20, 21). Since he was a young man (Heb. na'ar) when he began prophesying (2:4), he was probably born in Babylonian captivity and returned to Palestine very early in life, in 536 B.C. with Zerubbabel and Joshua. Zechariah apparently survived Joshua, the high priest, since he became the head of his own division of priests in the days of Joiakim, the son of Joshua (Neh. 12:12, 16). Zechariah became a leading priest in the restoration community succeeding his grandfather (or ancestor), Iddo, who also returned from captivity in 536 B.C., as the leader of his priestly family (Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah's father, Berechiah (1:1, 7), evidently never became prominent.

  • Notes on Numbers 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Numbers 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The title the Jews used in their Hebrew Old Testament for this book comes from the fifth word in the book in the Hebrew text, bemidbar: "in the wilderness." This is, of course, appropriate since the Israelites spent most of the time covered in the narrative of Numbers in the wilderness. The English title "Numbers" is a translation of the Greek title Arithmoi. The Septuagint translators chose this title because of the two censuses of the Israelites that Moses recorded at the beginning (chs. 1—4) and toward the end (ch. 26) of the book. These "numberings" of the people took place at the beginning and end of the wilderness wanderings and frame the contents of Numbers. DATE AND WRITER Moses wrote Numbers (cf. Num. 1:1; 33:2; Matt. 8:4; 19:7; Luke 24:44; John 1:45; et al.). He apparently wrote it late in his life, across the Jordan from the Promised Land, on the Plains of Moab.1 Moses evidently died close to 1406 B.C., since the Exodus happened about 1446 B.C. (1 Kings 6:1), the Israelites were in the wilderness for 40 years (Num. 32:13), and he died shortly before they entered the Promised Land (Deut. 34:5). There are also a few passages that appear to have been added after Moses' time: 12:3; 21:14-15; and 32:34-42. However, it is impossible to say how much later. 1See the commentaries for fuller discussions of these subjects, e.g., Gordon J.
