Jødiske skrifter: Tanakh, Tora

One of the most important Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha works of the Second Temple Period is Enoch.According to the biblical narrative (Genesis 5:21-24), Enoch lived only 365 years (far less than the other patriarchs in the period before the Flood).Enoch "walked with GOD."Enoch is a figure who receives direct personal revelation from God. He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth. Among the more controversial material within this text is the detailed account it gives of fallen angels on earth and their cursed offspring, the Nephilim. Azazel features heavily as the instigator of metal weapon production, the use of cosmetics and advocate of widespread promiscuity and fornication. In this book, the figure of Enoch is charged with the knowledge of God's chosen and brutal punishment for the Nephilim, their human mothers and their Angel fathers.The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the "Apocalypse of Weeks," written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a "pseudepigraphical work," meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

For centuries, Paul, the apostle who ?saw the light on the Road to Damascus? and changed dramatically from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Jesus, has been one of the church's most widely cited early teachers. Yet for leading New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright, most Bible scholars and pastors have not fully grasped what Paul was actually doing and why.In focusing on Paul's letters and theology, Wright argues, they have, in short, overlooked the essence of the man's life and the extreme unlikelihood of what he achieved. In response, Wright offers a new way of understanding one of the most famous Christian figures. Wright draws attention to Paul the man?the man who survived assassination attempts, imprisonments, and shipwrecks all while inventing new language and concepts for faithfully translating Jesus's story for the Gentile world. In this pioneering new account, Wright celebrates Paul's humanity, arguing that this is the best context for understanding him and ultimately for appreciating how he invented new paradigms for how we understand Jesus. ?The problem,? Wright explains, ?is that while Paul is central to any understanding of early Christianity, we cannot understand him without taking full account of the pre-Christian Jewish beliefs and hopes that he believed had been fulfilled in Jesus.? Only when we consider Paul in this manner can we move on to understanding how he led the way for Christianity to conquer the Roman world.

King Hezekiah of Judah unfolds in unprecedented detail the incredible, eventful life of King Hezekiah, full of faith, grace, and miracles. It comprehensively illuminates the person, the king, the man Hezekiah in his personal defeats and his victories in faith with God.

The chronology of the kings of Israel, which has been disputed for centuries, is given a special framework. Here it is now shown that all the biblical dates of this period can be harmoniously fitted into the dating of extra-biblical sources and events that are considered certain.From the first page to the last, however, this book does not fail to find repeated applications and deductions for our Christian life today. After studying King Hezekiah of Judah, we may question and realign our walk with God. Every reader is warned: studying this book could have consequences for your life!

My purpose for writing a book of Genesis commentary for all readers is to help kids and grown-ups understand the stories in the Bible better. Genesis is a very important book that tells us about the beginning of the world and the first people. The commentary will explain the stories in Genesis in a way that is easy to understand, using simple words and examples that a ten-year-old can grasp.By writing this commentary, the author wants to show how the stories in Genesis can teach important lessons and help you think about big questions. You can learn about things like how the world was created, why there is good and evil, and how we all should treat one another. The commentary will help everyone see the true meaning behind the stories and how they can be relevant to our lives today.This commentary was written to encourage conversation and discussion among readers. It helps to create a space where kids and grown-ups can talk about the stories, ask questions, and share their own thoughts and ideas. By doing this, the author hope to make Genesis more engaging and enjoyable for everyone, fostering a deeper understanding of the Bible and its teachings.

Michael A. Milton uncovers the treasures of one of the Bible's regularly overlooked books in this pastoral treatment of Leviticus. God's call changed everything for the Israelites. Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun-scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin - the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry - life abruptly changes. With the first line of Leviticus, "And the Lord called," God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God's plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. Leviticus for modern-day Christians This call doesn't just affect the ancient Israelites - Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ's followers today. This book of the law points consistently to Jesus, the fullness and fulfilment of every antitype. It reveals to us in stark terms the abhorrence of sin, and the barrier it creates between mankind and God. Beginning with a helpful overview of Leviticus, and after providing some beneficial information about its title, authorship, time and biblical context, Milton tackles the book in four sections: Called to Worship (chapters 1-7) Called to Ministry (chapters 8-10) Called to Purity (chapters 11-16) Called to Holiness (chapters 17-27) Throughout, we see how this call applies not only to the ancient Israelites, but also to us. Get into this fascinating book Approaching God will be excellent for personal bible study, or for a pastor or small group leader working through the book.

Der Jalkut Schimoni ist ein Sammelwerk rabbinischer Auslegungen zur gesamten Hebräischen Bibel. Unerforscht ist, nach welchen Kriterien die Auslegungen ausgewählt wurden und ob das Werk als umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für exegetische Fragen, zur Verbindung von Bibelauslegung in Talmud und Midrasch oder zur Reform der rabbinischen Auslegungstradition konzipiert wurde. Die Übersetzung des Werkes ist ein erster Schritt, diese Fragen zu beantworten.

When unexpected events cause us to question what we have previously "known," do we stop and reexamine the foundation and content of our own beliefs and values? Do we seek to learn and separate "truth" and "facts" (i.e., reality) from the "knowledge" that we acquired simply by rote memorization or that we thought "felt right" -- what we wanted to be true. The most profound truth is acquired by correcting our mistakes or errors. This is especially relevant to the most crucial of life's concerns: our spiritual health and relationship with our Maker. At times, we need to be reminded of, reeducated in, or encouraged in the basic foundations of life itself.Come, take a journey through God's inspired message to mankind and experience what God has done and seen taking place over time. He welcomes and desires your accompanying presence, as well as your thoughts and questions, as you journey with Him through His story with His beloved mankind.

"But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?" The book of Job is challenging. Its Hebrew is often obscure, its length and subject matter are intimidating, and its meaning has been debated throughout the history of biblical interpretation. In this commentary, Duane A. Garrett presents a fresh argument for the book's meaning. Job demonstrates the inability of Wisdom, as a theological tradition, to solve the problem of evil. Without rejecting Wisdom, it shows that only God can truly deal with evil. God's answer to evil is found only in Christ, who is anticipated in the book of Job. The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series is a premiere biblical commentary rooted in the original text of Scripture. Each volume includes historical and literary insights and addresses exegetical, pastoral, and theological concerns, giving readers a full understanding of the text and how to apply it to everyday life.
