A friend shared an experience she had when she heard two words from the Creator: emunah “faith” and bitachon “trust.” In previous articles we studied the Hebrew words for faith, hope, grace, and love. This experience prompted the present author to write another article from the series “What is …?” So, in this article we will study the Hebrew word for “trust.” In a non-Hebraic culture, the words like faith, hope, grace,...

What does it take to dishonor the Name of YHVH? Do we dishonor the Creator’s Name by uttering it, as many in the Rabbinic Judaism are led to believe, or there is something else? When Yitzhak became old, he called Esav his elder son and said to him to hunt wild game for him and make him a tasty dish in order that he would bless him before he dies. Rivkah overheard Yitzhak and conspired to change her husband’s blessing. Her plan was her favorite son Ya’akov...

The tax collectors and the sinners came to Yeshua to hear Him. The Pharisees and scribes also came and grumbled because of that. But He spoke a parable to them of a certain man who had two sons and the younger of them said to his father to give him his portion of the inheritance. Then the younger son went away to a distant country, and there wasted his money with loose living. But when he had spent all and a severe scarcity of food came throughout that land, he felt the...

Who is the suffering servant in Isaiah 53? In order to answer this question, we need to turn to the literal word of the Creator, and according to the sages, this is the Bible Code. In the article Who is the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53? Part I we studied the controversy of two different interpretations of the mysterious servant who suffered for the sins of his people. Shlomo Yitzchaki aka Rashi in his comprehensive commentary on the prophecy in Isaiah 53 taught that the...

In Part I and Part II of the article, “Who is the suffering servant in Isaiah?”, we will approach the verses in Isaiah 53 from the angle that the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is the Messiah of Israel who came and suffered for the sins of His people Israel and the world. But for the sake of objectivity, we will also approach the subject from another angle, namely, this suffering servant is the nation of Israel that suffered and bore the illnesses and carried...

It is commonly understood among Bible scholars that Yonah (Jonah) was swallowed by the big fish and after being three days and three nights in its stomach was vomited out alive. The textual support of this story is that Yonah actually prayed to YHVH from the stomach of the fish as seen in Jon 2:2-9. But Yehovah appointed a great fish to swallow Yonah. And Yonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. (Jon 1:17) Below is the Hebrew text with a...

How old was David when he killed Goliath the Philistine? Let us first see the context. But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin.

This day Yehovah shall deliver you into my hand, and I shall smite you and take your head from you, and give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines today to the birds of...

The common perception is that Yeshua’s disciples were young adults as Kefa (Peter) being in his early forties while the rest of them were in their thirties. Yochanan (John) is believed to be the youngest among them. This perception is received mainly from the popular Bible movies where the disciples are portrayed more or less as such. But how old were they? In the account of Matthew, we read: And when they came into Kephar Nachum, those who received the tax came to...

There was a righteous gentile that left Egypt together with Israel. In fact, by this act of love for Israel that person was not considered any longer a “gentile” but a part of Israel. Who was that person who left Egypt with Israel? The answer cannot be found in Exodus, nor in Torah, but in a historical book where it can be easily overlooked. We read from the Book of Chronicles thus, And his wife Yehudiyah bore Yered the father of Gedor, and Chever the father of...

From the popular Bible films, we got used to see the little Isaac carrying a bunch of dry sticks before he was offered for sacrifice. But how old was he? Can we know? The Torah tells us that Yitschak (Isaac) was old enough to walk, to observe the world around him, to reason for himself, and to carry a bundle of cut wood up a fairly rugged and steep mountain for three days. And last but not least, he was also old enough to be responsible for his actions and decisions. Per...
