ellauri118.html on line 891: Isebelin aikakauteen sanotaan liittyneen Baal-jumalan palvonnan voimistuminen kuningas Ahabin aikana. Hän myös pyrki muuttamaan oikeuskäsitystä ajanmukaiseksi siten, että kuningas ei olisi ollut enää yhdenvertainen Mooseksen lain edessä muiden juutalaisten kanssa, vaan hänellä olisi ollut asemansa vuoksi erioikeuksia, mikä näkyy Nabotin tuomitsemisena kuolemaan siksi, että hän kieltäytyi myymästä maataan kuningas Ahabille. Isebelin näkemyksen mukaan olisi riittänyt se, että kuningas olisi takavarikoinut maan korvauksetta asemaansa perustuen.

ellauri171.html on line 772: The lesson: God always wins. That's a pretty simplistic way of saying it, but it's true nonetheless. Even when people like Athaliah try to stomp out an entire family and put an end to God's plan for redemption, when people like the priests of Baal lead others to worship idols instead of the true God, God will always triumph in the end. The negative forces of our culture make us wonder where we're headed as a people. Many of our leaders show little integrity or morality, and dishonesty is overlooked in the workplace. Kindness is often the exception rather than the rule. But don't despair. This is not a battle God plans to lose. In the end, he will prevail! You just wight Enry Jiggins!

This marriage of the divinity with the city would seem to have Biblical parallels too with the stories of the link between Melqart and Tyre; Chemosh and Moab; Tanit and Baal Hammon in Carthage, Yah and Jerusalem.
ellauri171.html on line 953: In the Baal Cycle, Ba'al Hadad is challenged by and defeats Yam, using two magical weapons (called "Driver" and "Chaser") made for him by Kothar-wa-Khasis. Afterward, with the help of Athirat and Anat, Ba'al persuades El to allow him a palace. El approves, and the palace is built by Kothar-wa-Khasis. After the palace is constructed, Ba'al gives forth a thunderous roar out of the palace window and challenges Mot. Mot enters through the window and swallows Ba'al, sending him to the Underworld. With no one to give rain, there is a terrible drought in Ba'al's absence. The other deities, especially El and Anat, are distraught that Ba'al has been taken to the Underworld. Anat goes to the Underworld, attacks Mot with a knife, grinds him up into pieces, and scatters him far and wide. With Mot defeated, Ba'al is able to return and refresh the Earth with rain.

ellauri171.html on line 977: Jezebel does not accept Ahab’s God, Yahweh. Rather, she leads Ahab to tolerate Baal. This is why she is vilified by the Deuteronomist, whose goal is to stamp out polytheism.
ellauri171.html on line 987: But the appearance of Jezebel in the bible includes no mention of her sexuality. In the Hebrew Bible, Jezebel appears in the books of first and second Kings as the wife of King Ahab— the marriage being a political alliance between Israel and Sidon (a coastal city to the north) where Jezebel was the princess. Jezebel brings her religion to Israel with her, and the worship of Baal is blasphemy in the eyes of the biblical writers. According to the text, Jezebel begins killing Israel’s prophets. Because of this, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a showdown with Israel’s deity. The Baal worshipers fail to summon their deity, so Elijah calls upon Yahweh and fire descends from heaven and consumes the altar. Having won, Elijah then slaughters all of the prophets of Baal. Jezebel threatens to kill Elijah by the same time the next day, and, ironically, Elijah retreats.
ellauri171.html on line 999: Idolatry (other religious conviction) was Jezebel’s most grievous sin. She would fatten the prophets of Baal and Asherah, thus vexing God and arousing His ire.
ellauri171.html on line 1002: Jezebel’s support of Tyros' national God Baal led her to persecute Jewish bigots who overtly rejected idolatry, beginning with the prophets. Scripture tells us that she had these ideological adversaries executed, and in turn promoted 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of god Asherah.
ellauri171.html on line 1004: Jezebel pursued Elijah the Prophet as well. Elijah had challenged the false prophets of Baal to produce a tangible response from their deity, during an epic showdown on Mount Carmel. When they failed to do so, the prophets of the Baal were proven false and Elijah had them all killed. Haha! When Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah in retribution, he fled for his life. Fucking murderer and a wimp to boot!
ellauri171.html on line 1015: Clearly, Jezebel acted as queen even though the Bible itself refuses her the title and its attendant respect, not to mention approval. In the biblical text, Jezebel is contrasted with and juxtaposed to the prophet Elijah, to the extent that they both form the two panels of a mirrored dyptich. She is a Baal supporter, he is a God supporter; she is a woman, he is a man; she is a foreigner, he is a native; she has monarchic power, he has prophetic power; she threatens, he flees; finally he wins, she is liquidated. The real conflict is not between Ahab (the king) and Elijah, but between Jezebel (the queen in actuality, if not in title) and Elijah. Ultimately the forces of God win; Jezebel loses. It remains to be understood why she gets such bad press.
ellauri171.html on line 1017: It seems reasonable that Jezebel, a foreign royal princess by birth, was highly educated and efficient. Also, although her son’s theophoric names have the element yah or yahu (referring to God) in them, she seems to have been a patron and devotee of the Baal cult.
ellauri171.html on line 1018: It is not incomprehensible that, whereas Ahab devoted himself to military and foreign affairs, Jezebel acted as his deputy for internal affairs: the Naboth report comes back to her, as if the king’s seal was hers; she has her own “table,” that is her own economic establishment and budget; she has her own “prophets,” probably a religious establishment that she controls. All these point toward an official or semiofficial position that Jezebel held by virtue of her character, her royal origin and connections, her husband’s and later her children’s esteem, and her religious affiliation to the Baal (possibly also Asherah) cult.
ellauri171.html on line 1019: Perhaps she had the status of gebira “queen mother”, or of “co-regent”. At any rate, there is no doubt that the biblical and later accounts distort her portrait for several reasons, among which we can list her monarchic power, deemed unfit in a woman; her reported devotion to the Baal and Asherah cult and her objection to Elijah and other prophets of God; her education and legal know-how (shown in the Naboth affair); and her foreign origin Ultimately, the same passages that disclaim Jezebel as evil, “whoring,” and immoral are witness to her power and the need to curb it.

Millos se Moosexen konvoi palas Ebyktistä? Joidenkin Raamatun pohjalta tehtyjen laskujen mukaan israelilaiset palasivat Egyptistä noin 1300–1200 eaa. He joutuivat sotaan filistealaisia ja kanaanilaisia kanssa valloittaen Ain, Jerikon ja Hazorin. Arkeologien mukaan Jeriko ja Ai tuhoutuivat noin 1550 eaa. keskipronssikauden lopussa. Monien tutkijoiden mukaan Egyptissä kävi vain pieni joukko, ja israelilaiset olivat eräänlainen Kanaanin maan alakulttuuri, joka eli paimentolaisina maassa, jossa kaupunkilaiset palvoivat muun muassa israelilaisten uskovaisten epäjumalina pitämiä Baalia ja Astartea. Eräässä vaiheessa nämä paimentolaisheimot alkoivat vallata Israelia. Israelilaiset voittivat viimeiset kanaanilaiset noin 1140 eaa. David Rohlin kiistanalaisen revisioidun kronologian mukaan Jerikon ja Ain tuhoutuminen osuu samaan aikaan israelilaisten Egyptistä-paluun kanssa, ja Raamatun kertomus on mahdollinen kuvaus tapahtumista.

Ja nainen sanoi: "Hajottakaa Jumalasi alttarit ja rakentakaa uhrikukkuloita Baal Pegorille, sillä hän on tosi Jumala." Ja Israel tuhosi Jumalansa alttarit ja rakensi uhrikukkuloita Pegorille Baalille. Ja nainen meni seurakunnan majaan, mutta majan sisäänkäynnin edessä makasi Pinehas, Eleasarin poika. Ja nainen ei uskaltanut mennä tabernaakkeliin, vaan sanoi: "Miksi makaat täällä, niinkuin erämaan koira? Tule luokseni telttasi ja makaa minun kanssani." Ja hän sanoi: "Lyö tuota miestä!" Ja Simri, Salun poika, Simeonin sukukunnan pää, tuli ulos ja potki Piinehasta jalallaan. Ja nainen meni telttaan. Ja Simri, Salun poika, seurasi häntä. Ja se oli illalla. Ja katso, Piinehas, Eleasarin poika, nousi ja meni telttaan makaamaan naisen kanssa. Ja Israel näki, että Piinehas oli tulossa, ja erosi hänen edessään. Ja Piinehas meni telttaan, ja hänen kädessään oli keihäs. Ja katso, nainen makasi alasti vuoteella, ja hänen päällänsä oli Zimri, Salun poika, alasti. Ja Piinehas, Eleasarin poika, löi häntä keihällä ristiluuhun ja lävisti hänen kohtunsa ja naisen kohtuun, ja keihäs lävisti sohvaan. Silloin Piinehas kaatoi teltan ja näki Israelin naisen ja Simrin, Salan pojan alasti ja naulattuna vuoteeseen, ja ulvoi ja itki. Ja Piinehas, Aaronin pojan Eleasarin poika, ylimmäinen pappi, meni ja meni makaamaan seurakuntamajan ovelle.

Nimenomaan nuoren Pinehaan nopea toiminta lakkautti Jehovalta tulleen vitsauksen, kun 24000 israelilaista oli kuollut kuppaan Moabin tasangoilla, koska he olivat harjoittaneet haureutta ja vetäneet viixeen Peorin Baalia. Kun hän näki Simrin vievän midianilaisen naisen Kosbin telttaansa, hän lävisti heidät molemmat pistokeihäällä, ”naisen tämän vatsanpohjan kohdalta”. Hänen palava intonsa siinä, että hän ’ei suvainnut mitään kilpailua’ Jehovaa vastaan, ”laskettiin hänelle vanhurskaudeksi”, ja Jumala teki hänen kanssaan liiton, jonka mukaan pappeus pysyisi hänen suvussaan ”ajan hämärään asti”.

Kuitenkin ennen kuin he pystyivät tekemään niin, Zimri bin Salu, yksi Simeon -heimon johtajista, 6 lähestyi väkijoukkoa yhdessä Cozbi Zurin tyttären kanssa, joka oli yksi viidestä midianilaiskuninkaasta. Kun kaikki katsoivat, hän astui telttaan ja oli räikeästi sukupuoliyhteydessä hänen kanssaan. Nähdessään tämän kapinallisen käytöksen Phinehas tarttui keihään, astui telttaan ja puukotti heitä molempia genitaaleihin, kun he olivat keskellä toimintaa.

However, it was only in the 16th century that these figures were called Baalei Shem. It looks like a Jewish reflex of the cotemporaneous revivalist movements among the protestants. Herbal folk remedies, amulets, contemporary medical cures as well as magical and mystical solutions were used in accordance with traditional Kabbalistic teachings as well as adapted Lurianic guidelines in the Middle Ages.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 210: Baal Shem Tov"Baal Shem Tov was the stage name of Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, a Polish rabbi and mystical healer known as the . His teachings imbued the esoteric usage of practical Kabbalah of Baalei Shem into a spiritual movement, Hasidic Judaism. While a few other people received the title of Baal Shem among Eastern and Central European Ashkenazi Jewry, the designation is most well known in reference to the founder of Hasidic Judaism. Baal Shem Tov, born in the 17th century Kingdom of Poland, started public life as a traditional Baal Shem, but introduced new interpretations of mystical thought and practice that eventually became the core teachings of Hasidism. In his time, he was given the title of Baal Shem Tov, and later, by followers of Hasidism, referred to by the acronym BeShiT. He disavowed traditional Jewish practice and theology by encouraging mixing with non-Jews and asserting the sacredness of everyday corporal existence.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 216: From the 1730s, Baal Shem Tov (BeShiT) headed an elite chirurgic mystical circle, similar to other secluded Kabbalistic circles such as the contemporary Klaus (Close) in Brody. Unlike past mystical circles, they innovated with the use of their psychic heavenly intercession abilities to work on behalf of the common Jewish populace. From the legendary hagiography of the BeShiT as one who bridged elite mysticism with deep social concern, and from his leading disciples, Hasidism rapidly grew into a populist revival movement with the funny hats. That's the point, there are only so many members of the elite, while the hoi polloi, though poorer, count in zillions. Want to have a large following, lower the entrance fee.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 220: The Baal Shem Tov taught that a superior advantage would accrue in Jewish service with incorporating materialism within spirituality. In Hasidic thought, this was possible because of the essential Divine inspiration within Hasidic expression. In its terminology, it takes a higher Divine source to unify lower expressions of the material and the spiritual. In relation to the Omnipresent Divine essence, the transcendent emanations described in historical Kabbalah are external. This corresponds to the Kabbalistic difference between the Or (Light) and the Maor (Luminary). Essential Divinity permeates all equally, from the common folk to the scholars. Well, perhaps a little fuzzy, but the main point is that everyone can participate in the fun.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 226: The founder of Hasidism, the Baal Shem Tov, opposed the ethical practices of admonishment that could interpret fear of God as fear of punishment. In Hasidism such fear is seen as superficial, egotistical and misrepresentative of the Divine love for Creation. Hasidism sought to replace Jewish observance based on self-awareness with an overriding perception and joy of the omnipresent Divine (see Divine immanence).
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 233: Across all Hasidism the continual mystical joy and vittul-humility "between man and God", is ideally reflected likewise in belfies to help another person "between man and man". In Hasidism, mesiras nefesh means devoted sacrifice of God for another person. Lubavitch and Breslav have become the two schools involved in the Baal Teshuva movement where talented young men and women devote themselves to going on Shlichus (outings), rather than the traditional and commendable devotion to Torah study and personal spiritual advancement.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 237: Hasidism, initially, rejected the focus on personal reward, or ultimately also the ideal of material self-advancement, as too self-centred. Before the magnificent awareness of Divine majesty, through the mystical path, the automatic response is sincerity and a desire to nullify oneself (nollata polla) in the Divine presence. It is more worthwhile to reject even refined levels of self-centred spiritual advancement from advanced Yeshiva study to help another male person in their spiritual and even physical needs. This attitude has also spread in recent times to non-Hasidic Lithuanian Jewish Orthodoxy, as part of the spiritual campaign of the Baal Teshuvah movement.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 261: Baal Shem Tov thought that the movement of a leaf in the wind is significant in the divine plan. Or a flap of a butterfly. A Baal Shem Tov anecdote says it all:
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 263: Once, when the Baal Shem Tov was on a journey, Sabbath overtook him on the highway. He stopped the wagon, and went out into the field to perform the services that welcome the coming of Sabbath, and to remain there until the Sabbath was ended. On the field, a flock of sheep were grazing. When Baal Shem Tov raised his voice a tad and spoke the prayers that welcome the Sabbath as the coming of a Bride, the sheep rose upon their hind legs, and lifted their heads in the air, and stood like people listening. And so they remained in wrapt attention for two hours, all the while that the Baal Shem spoke.

After extending the prayers beyond their time, the drought remained. An unfettered shepherd boy entered and was deeply envious of those who could read the holy day's prayers. He said to God "I don't know how to pray, but I can make the noises of the animals of the field. With great feeling, he cried out, "Cock-a-doodle-do. God have mercy!" Immediately, joy overcame the Baal Shem Tov, and he hurried to fetch the cellar key. Afterwards, he explained that the heartfelt prayer of the shepherd boy reminded him where he had mislaid the key, and the drought was lifted.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 278: Some niggunim originate from non-Jewish sources. Hasidic custom, based on a practice of the Baal Shem Tov, adapted secular anthems, marches and folk songs, ascribing to them a new spiritual interpretation. Hasidic belief is that these songs, in their secular forms, are in spiritual exile. By adapting them to liturgical forms, they are raising "Sparks of Holiness", based on the Kabbalistic rectification of Isaac Luria.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 453: Nachman was the great-grandson of Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement. In 1802, at the age of 30, Nachman instituted his own Hasidic sect based in the Ukrainian town of Breslau. Nachman taught his followers to live in faith, simplicity and joy. 1in 1810, at the age of 38, Nachman died of tuberculosis. Sein Leben war kurz und beschiessen wie ein Hühnerbrett. Ditto with Spinoza.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 624: This movement began in the 18th century by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, later known as Baal Shem Tov, the Master of the Good Name. Hasidic Judaism sets aside the earlier emphasis on studying the Torah from an academic perspective, and instead exalts the experience of it at all moments. Within the movement there are a number of sects, including the Satmar, Belz, Ger, Sanz, Puppa, Spinka, and Lubavitch. Mazel tov!
xxx/ellauri186.html on line 357: Dagon tai Dagan oli merkittävä länsiseemiläinen viljan ja hedelmällisyyden jumala, jota palvottiin laajalti koko muinaisessa Lähi-idässä. Dagan merkitsi heprean ja ugaritin kielissä "vilja", ja Dagania pidettiin auran keksijänä. Dagan tunnettiin erityisesti Raamatun mainitsemien filistealaisten jumalana. Hänelle omistettuja pyhäkköjä oli muun muassa Bet-dagonissa Asherissa, Gazassa ja Asdodissa. Dagonin palvonnasta on todisteita jo noin vuodelta 2500 eaa. Muinaisen Ugaritin Ras Shamrasta löydettyjen tekstien mukaan hän oli sateen ja hedelmällisyyden jumala Baalin isä.
xxx/ellauri233.html on line 410: Shneur Zalman of Liadi (Hebrew: שניאור זלמן מליאדי, September 4, 1745 – December 15, 1812 O.S. / 18 Elul 5505 – 24 Tevet 5573), was an influential Lithuanian Jewish rabbi and the founder and first Rebbe of Chabad, a branch of Hasidic Judaism, then based in Liadi in Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later in the Grodno Governorate of the Russian Empire. He was the author of many works, and is best known for Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Tanya, and his Siddur Torah Or compiled according to the Nusach Ari. Zalman is a Yiddish variant of Solomon and Shneur (or Shne'or) is a Yiddish composite of the two Hebrew words "shnei ohr" (שני אור "two ears"). Shneur Zalman was a prominent (and the youngest) disciple of Dov Ber of Mezeritch, the "Great Maggid", who was in turn the successor of the founder of Hasidic Judaism, Yisrael ben Eliezer, known as the Baal Shem Tov. He too displayed extraordinary talent while still a child. By the time he was eight years old, he wrote an all-inclusive commentary on the Torah based on the works of Rashi, Nahmanides and Abraham ibn Ezra.

They were the high-tech people of the day and did all they could to prohibit neolithic Israel from gaining iron and access to their technology (1 Sam. 13:19) They worshipped many false gods. Among them was the worship of Baal and Dagon. Mutta nyt mikki Sammelille:
xxx/ellauri287.html on line 591: On lähes varmaa, että seleukidipolitiikan mukaisesti tähän uudelleenjärjestelyyn liittyi väestöpohjan laajentuminen, uudet kansalaiset tässä tapauksessa luultavasti koostuivat juutalaisista ja argive-kreikkalaisista. Argiivi-kreikkalaisia koskevat todisteet viittaavat seemiläiseen alkuperään, vaikka argive-kreikkalaiset väittivät, että hyksot olivat heidän esi-isänsä, ja väittivät, että tarina viittasi "Beluksen (Baalin?) ja Danaoksen tyttärien karkotukseen" 414 tai Danaukseen, myyttiseen egyptiläiseen kuninkaaseen, joka muka perusti kreikkalaisen Argosin kaupungin. Ilmeisestikään kaikki nämä skenaariot eivät voi olla oikeita, varsinkin kun hyksot olivat selvästi seemiläisiä, kun taas kreikkalaiset eivät. Hyxot oli ainakin selkeästi länsiseemiläisiä.

xxx/ellauri303.html on line 140: Reformerade kaninen gav shiksa Patricia råd att glömma judaismen. Patricia gick missnöjd därifrån. Hon konstaterade att reformvänliga kaniner inte passade henne. Om han var kanin, varför hade han inte skägg och varför täckte han inte huvudet? Och varför talade han så vardagligt? I New York hade hon sett andra kaniner - män med tinninglockar och länga svarta rockar. De var en smula gammalmodiga, underliga men i deras ögon fanns det en knullsjuk glimt som tilltalade henne, väckte hennes nyfikenhet. I sin bok hade Patricia läst om Maimonides, Baal Shem Tov och Gaon av Vilna. Många rabbiner hade bantat under lång tid för att göra bot. En viss kanin Akiva hade låtit skrapa huden med järnkammar och hans säd hade lämnat kroppen medan han reciterade "Hör, O Israel..." En kanin Hanania ben Dusa åt ingenting annat än en smula johannesbröd från sabbat till sabbat. De var inte bara skådespelare utan fruktbara män. Fanns de fortfarande sådana personer? I så fall ville Patricia känna dem i kaftanerna.

xxx/ellauri379.html on line 301: Uudessa testamentissa paholaisesta käytetään toisinaan myös nimitystä Belsebul. Tämä on alkujaan kanaanilaisen jumalan nimi, joka merkitsee "Baal on herra", mutta jonka juutalaiset olivat vääntäneet pilkallisesti muotoon Baal-Sebub, "kärpästen herra".
