This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Urim and Thummim and Extracts From the Talmud The Bible does not distinctly tell us what the Urim and Thummim were. That they were not the twelve precious stones contained in the breast-plate, as some have erroneously imagined, is quite clear. We do not find that God directed Moses to make the Urim and Thummim, as He did when He said: And thou shalt make the breast-plate of judgment with cunning work, &c. - Exodus xxviii., r 5. It is very plain from the text itself, that the Urim and Thummim were something in addition to the breast-plate, and put therein after it was finished, by Moses himself, and therefore God says And thou shalt put into the breast-plate of judgment the Urim and Thummim. From this fact it is evident that there was something additional placed in the breast-plate by Moses, and for this reason, it is supposed that it was made double, that it might the more conveniently hold them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oracle of Yahveh: Urim and Thummim, the Ephod, the Breastplate of Judgment Though the oracle by the Urim and Thummim played an important part in the ancient history of the people of Israel, its practice fell gradually into disuse. It was first abandoned, presumably as a relic of paganism, and its methods were absolutely for gotten during the Exile, while in the post-exilic age the loss of it was deeply deplored. Josephusl says that two hundred years before his time the Urim and Thummim had ceased to light up, but his statement is based on the very lowest margin, for they are no longer mentioned as being consulted after Solomon's reign.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from En Jacob, Vol. 5: Agada of the Babylonian Talmud R. Jochanan said: Where is the resur rection of the dead intimated in the Torah? It is said (num. 18, 28) And ye shall give thereof the heave-offering (t'rumah) 0f the Lord to Aaron the priest. Would then Aaron remain alive forever that Israel should give him heave-offerings? Infer from this that he will come to life again and Israel will give him heave - offerings. Hence here is an intimation in the Torah of the resur rection. The school of R. Ismael, however, explained the above passage in this man ner: 'to Aaron, ' means priests who are sim ilar to him - viz., scholars as he was. And from this it is inferred that no T'rumah should be given to an ignorant priest. R. Samuel b. Nachmeni said: Whence do we know that one must not give the heave offering to a priest who is an ignoramus? It is said (i Chron. 31, 4) To give the por tion of the priests, and the Levites, in order that they might hold firmly to the law of the Lord. Hence the priest who knows how to hold firmly to the law has a portion, but not he who is ignorant of the law. R. Acha b. Ada said in the name of R. Juda: Whoever gives T'rumah to an ignorant priest acts as if he threw it before a lion; just as in throw ing it before a lion there is a doubt whether it shall be trodden upon and eaten or not, so is it doubtful whether the priest will eat it in Levitical cleanliness or uncleanliness R. Jochanan said: He may even cause death to the ignorant priest [by doing so] as it is said (lev. 22, 9) That they may not bear sin through it, and die therefor, if they profane it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from En Jacob, Vol. 1: Agada of the Babylonian Talmud The hope that it may serve to renew the interest in the Talmud among the people and throw new light on its character and contents, encourages the author to announce that the second volume is already in the hands of the printer and that preparations are being made to start the publication of the third and fourth volumes, thus bringing, with the help of the Almighty, the entire set to completion. Again I would urge the esteemed reader that before beginning the reading of my translation, he should read carefully the introduction to the Agada by Abraham, son of Moses Maimonides, in order to become conversant with the real character and spirit, as well as the style of the Sages and Rabbis. By so doing, the reader will be greatly aided, and misconceptions will be avoided. The reading of the same would greatly clarify to a certain extent, numerous passages of my translation which, to the modern reader, who is not initiated into the peculiar dialectical method of the Talmud, may appear not only nu intelligible but even ridiculous.

This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from En Jacob, Agada of the Babylonian Talmud, Vol. 3 The same also lectured: (deut. 26, Thou hast this day acknowledged the Lord, and it is written (ibid, ibid) The Lord hath acknowledged thee, this day; i.e., the Holy One, praised be He! Said unto Israel 'you have made Me the only object of love in the world as it is written.' (deut. 6, 4) Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, is one God; I will therefore make you the only oh jcet of love in the world - as it is said (ib. B) (i Cr. 17, 21) And who is like Thy people, Israel, the only nation. He also opened and lectured: (eccl. 12, 2) The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails fastened are the words of the men of the assemblies which are given by one shep herd. Just as the goad directs the cow [which ploughs] straight in the furrows, so as to produce sustenance for the world, so also do the words of the Torah guide those who study them [away] from the ways of death to the ways of life. One might say, that as the goad is movable so also are the words of Law. Therefore it is written, like nails. One might assume that just as the nail [when making a hole in the wall] di minishes [and does not add to it], so also do the words of the Law diminish and do not add. It is therefore written Planted; i. E., as a plant is fruitful and multiplies, so also are the words of the Torah fruitful and multiply. The men of assemblies, this refers to the scholars who sit in the assem bly, studying the Torah and discussing these rendering a decision of a certain act as unclean and the others of clean; these declaring a certain thing prohibited and those permitting it; these declaring a cer tain act valid, those declaring it invalid. One will perhaps say: 'since these render a decision of unclean and the others of clean; these prohibit and the others permit it.

Download or read book A Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Hebraica written by John Lightfoot and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-13 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary on the New Testament by John Lightfoot is a unique addition to the studious Christian's library. With the Gospels written within a first century Jewish context, some of the meaning, nuance and hidden reference is lost upon the modern reader. Within these pages, Lightfoot uses the Talmud (a main text of history, tradition, ethics and scriptural commentary in Judaism) and other Judaic sources, to bring cultural background and historical flavor to the familiar verses of the Gospels, giving them new life and new insight. Though the author passed away before the full completion of this epic work, "A Commentary of the New Testament from the Talmud and Hebraica" proves to be an invaluable tool for bringing fresh light upon those obsure years of the first century. [This edition contains the entirety of the verse-by-verse commentary of the Gospels from the original work, but omits the "Chorographical Details," being non-commentary notes about the regions and districts of Israel.]

Download or read book Hearing Voices Demonic and Divine written by Christopher C. H. Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781472453983, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivative 4.0 license. Experiences of hearing the voice of God (or angels, demons, or other spiritual beings) have generally been understood either as religious experiences or else as a feature of mental illness. Some critics of traditional religious faith have dismissed the visions and voices attributed to biblical characters and saints as evidence of mental disorder. However, it is now known that many ordinary people, with no other evidence of mental disorder, also hear voices and that these voices not infrequently include spiritual or religious content. Psychological and interdisciplinary research has shed a revealing light on these experiences in recent years, so that we now know much more about the phenomenon of "hearing voices" than ever before. The present work considers biblical, historical, and scientific accounts of spiritual and mystical experiences of voice hearing in the Christian tradition in order to explore how some voices may be understood theologically as revelatory. It is proposed that in the incarnation, Christian faith finds both an understanding of what it is to be fully human (a theological anthropology), and God’s perfect self-disclosure (revelation). Within such an understanding, revelatory voices represent a key point of interpersonal encounter between human beings and God.
