Very often a mistranslation like “vanity” can overturn the whole meaning of a message in the Scripture. A typical example of it is the phrase in Ecclesiastes: Vanity of vanities! All is vanity! Is life a vanity, or the things we have labored all of our days were in vain or futile? Have we not received them from Elohim, and if we indeed have, why has the preacher called “vanity of vanities”? What does the wisest man teach in his end-of-life message to...

Is there any proof that the Bible is the Word of the Creator and was not written by men? There are many accusations that the Bible is a myth or a compilation of legends at best. The secularists accuse the Jews of inventing the Bible, while the Muslims: of distorting it. For instance, the most popular accusation is that the Jews replaced Ishmael with Isaac on the altar, and it was Ishmael who was the promised son, and it was Ishmael whom Avraham (Arab. Ibrahim) offered for...

“Life” cannot have a single definition for it, much less a definition of the meaning of life. Moreover, some languages do not even have definite words for a clear concept of life, hence it is hard to define the meaning of life itself. And if it is hard to define the meaning of life, how can the sanctity of life be defined?

There is a peculiar passage in the Exodus story regarding how Israel left Egypt. The Sages of old sought to find a meaningful interpretation of an obscured Hebrew word in the Book of Exodus in order to explain this passage. It is in Exo 13:18 that reads thus, But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt. (Exo 13:18 JPS) King James’ version of the Bible also renders the...

There is a common belief that the Passover Lamb has died for everyone. This is derived from the very statement Yeshua the Passover Lamb of YHVH made, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (Joh 3:16 KJV) This truthful statement, however, is believed to mean that whosoever believes is saved and will not perish. Notice the pair of words: the world and whosoever and how they...

Question: How many wives did Jacob have? Answer: The tradition has it that Jacob had two wives: Rachel and Leah; Rachel he loved and Leah he did not. And these two wives, Rachel and Leah, are counted among the matriarchs of Israel together with Sarah and Rebekah. However, the Scripture says something else that does not fit quite well in the Rabbinic tradition that Jacob had two wives. So, who are the other wives of Jacob that we have forgotten? To find out who they are,...
