ellauri094.html on line 231: In the Hebrew Bible, the captivity in Babylon is presented as a punishment for idolatry and disobedience to Yahweh in a similar way to the presentation of Israelite slavery in Egypt followed by deliverance. The Babylonian Captivity had a number of serious effects on Judaism and Jewish culture. For example, the current Hebrew alphabet was adopted during this period, replacing the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet.

He should not have taken God's name in his mouth in vain. Rangaistuxexi se passitettiin Kanadaan ja joutui ottaan uudexi etunimexeen Gus. Yeah yeah this is Gus here speaking ei kyllä kuulosta yhtä coolilta. Sori vaan.
ellauri108.html on line 63: Jah or Yah (Hebrew: יה, Yah) is a short form of Hebrew: יהוה (YHWH), the four letters that form the tetragrammaton, the personal name of God: Yahweh, which the ancient Israelites used. The conventional Christian English pronunciation of Jah is /ˈdʒɑː/, even though the letter J here transliterates the palatal approximant (Hebrew י Yodh). The spelling Yah is designed to make the pronunciation /ˈjɑː/ explicit in an English-language context (see also romanization of Hebrew), especially for Christians who may not use Hebrew regularly during prayer and study.
ellauri108.html on line 69: Yahweh was the national god of the kingdoms of Israel (Samaria) and Judah. The short form Jah/Yah, which appears in Exodus 15:2 and 17:16, Psalm 89:9, Song of Songs 8:6, is preserved also in theophoric names such as Elijah ("my god is Jah"), Malchijah ("my king is Jah"), and Adonijah ("my lord is Jah"), etc. as well as in the phrase Hallelujah. The name Joel is derived from combining the word Jah with the word El.
ellauri119.html on line 270: For the majority of Christian denominations, the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is believed to be the third person of the Trinity, a Triune God manifested as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each entity itself being God. Nontrinitarian Christians, who reject the doctrine of the Trinity, differ significantly from mainstream Christianity in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit. In Christian theology, pneumatology refers to the study of the Holy Spirit. Due to Christianity's historical relationship with Judaism, theologians often identify the Holy Spirit with the concept of the Ruach Hakodesh in Jewish scripture, on the theory that Jesus (who was Jewish) was expanding upon these Jewish concepts. Similar names, and ideas, include the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God), Ruach YHWH (Spirit of Yahweh), and the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit).
ellauri159.html on line 411: - T: Jewish Talmud, makes the "prologue" the first "saying" or "matter" and combines the prohibition on worshiping deities other than Yahweh with the prohibition on idolatry.
ellauri164.html on line 556: Parallel Verses: Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you didn't believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
ellauri164.html on line 877: The reading that makes more sense is to focus on the breaking of the pattern established to this point. Moses’ harsh words toward the Israelites reveal his emotions in this moment; he classifies Israel as “rebels” rather than the chosen people, and his rhetorical question seems to imply that he does not view Israel as worthy of God’s grace any longer. This is the real failure of Moses in this moment: he’s lost his faith in God to fulfill His promises to these people. Israel is a nation of rebels outside of grace, outside of God’s ability to make a great nation, outside of the promises that God has given. It seems nearly forty years of dealing with this people has finally broken Moses, and he is so overwhelmed in this moment that he has lost faith. From God’s perspective, Moses has lost faith in the Lord to overcome Israel’s faithlessness. Moses has not believed in God, and has not treated Yahweh as the Holy God who is able to overcome the weakness of His people. Indeed, this is exactly what Numbers 20:12 says was Moses’ sin! He (and Aaron!) did not believe God and did not treat Yahweh as holy in that moment. God did offer Moses the opportunity to intercede for the people (and thus broke the pattern) because He knew that Moses did not have faith in Him.
ellauri171.html on line 821: Asherah, queen consort of El (Ugaritic religion), Elkunirsa (Hittite religion), Yahweh (Israelite religion), Amurru (Amorite religion), Anu (Akkadian religion) and 'Amm (Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia) Symbolized by an Asherah pole in the Hebrew Bible.
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.
ellauri185.html on line 58: The childless Hannah vows to Yahweh of hosts that, if she has a son, he will be dedicated to Yahweh. Eli, the priest of Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant is provisionally located, blesses her. A child named Samuel is born, and Samuel is dedicated to the Lord as a Nazirite—the only one besides Samson to be identified in the Bible. Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, sin against God's laws and the people, a sin that causes them to die in the Battle of Aphek. But the child Samuel grows up "in the presence of the Lord."
ellauri185.html on line 97: The book begins with Samuel's birth and Yahweh's call to him as a boy. The story of the Ark of the Covenant follows. It tells of Israel's oppression by the Philistines, which brought about Samuel's anointing of Saul as Israel's first king. But Saul proved unworthy, and God's choice turned to David, who defeated Israel's enemies, purchased the threshing floor where his son Solomon would build the First Temple, and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. Yahweh then promised David and his sucessors an everlasting dynasty.
ellauri185.html on line 102: The Philistines capture the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh and take it to the temple of their god Dagon, who recognizes the supremacy of Yahweh. The Philistines are afflicted with plagues and return the ark to the Israelites, but to the territory of the tribe of Benjamin rather than to Shiloh. The Philistines attack the Israelites gathered at Mizpah in Benjamin. Samuel appeals to Yahweh, the Philistines are decisively beaten, and the Israelites reclaim their lost territory.
ellauri185.html on line 113: Shortly thereafter, Saul leads Israel to a victory over Nahash of Ammon. Despite his numerous military victories, Saul disobeys Yahweh's instruction to destroy Amalek: Saul spares the Amalekite ruler and the best portion of the Amalekite flocks to present them as sacrifices. Samuel rebukes Saul and tells him that God has now chosen another man to be king of Israel.
ellauri185.html on line 135: David commits adultery with Bathsheba, who becomes pregnant. When her husband Uriah the Hittite returns from battle, David encourages him to go home and see his wife (to cover his own tracks) but Uriah declines in case David might need him. David then deliberately sends Uriah on a suicide mission, and for this, Yahweh sends disasters against David's house. Nathan tells David that the sword shall never depart from his house.
ellauri198.html on line 635: Most scholars agree that the ritual performed at the tophet was child sacrifice, and they connect it to similar episodes throughout the Bible and recorded in Phoenicia (whose inhabitants were referred to as Canaanites in the Bible) and Carthage by Hellenistic sources. There is disagreement about whether the sacrifices were offered to a god named "Moloch". Based on Phoenician and Carthaginian inscriptions, a growing number of scholars believe that the word moloch refers to the type of sacrifice rather than a deity. There is currently a dispute as to whether these sacrifices were dedicated to Yahweh rather than a foreign deity.
ellauri264.html on line 574: In the biblical narrative, Hophni and Phinehas are criticised for engaging in illicit behaviour, such as appropriating the best portion of sacrifices for themselves, and having sexual relations with the sanctuary's serving women. They are described as "sons of Belial" in (1 Samuel 2:12) KJV, "corrupt" in the New King James Version, or "scoundrels" in the NIV. Dom var usla som Sveriges krona, som än kallas skräpvaluta, än skitvaluta. Their misdeeds provoked the wrath of Yahweh and led to a divine curse being put on the house of Eli, and they subsequently both died on the same day, when Israel was defeated by the Philistines at the Battle of Aphek near Ebenezer; the news of this defeat then led to Eli's death (1 Samuel 4:17–18). On hearing of the deaths of Eli and Phinehas, and of the capture of the ark, Phinehas´ wife gave birth to a son whom she named Zaphod (expressing 'departed glory') before she herself died (1 Samuel 4:19–22).
ellauri300.html on line 749: Konflikten mellan Israel och Amalek går långt tillbaka och den första striden mellan det judiska folket och amalekiterna som beskrivs i Torah utspelades vid Refidim. Israels gud Yahweh kom senare med befallningen att dessa fiender till judarna måste utrotas: ”Så drag nu åstad och slå amalekiterna och giv dem till spillo, med allt vad de hava, och skona dem icke, utan döda både män och kvinnor, både barn och spenabarn”.
ellauri300.html on line 751: Befallningen att utrota Amalekiterna var inte unikt, även andra folkslag utsattes för liknande befallningar och på andra ställen i Torah kan vi läsa om ytterligare påbud till folkmord där Yahweh till exempel beordrar ”det utvalda folket” att utrota ”hetiterna och amoréerna, kananéerna och perisséerna, hivéerna och jebuséerna” och att de inte skall låta något som andas ”bliva vid liv”. På ett annat ställe i Torah befaller Yahweh att: ”alla de folk som HERREN, din Gud, giver i din hand skall du utrota; du skall icke visa dem någon skonsamhet”.
ellauri300.html on line 753: Det unika med Amalek är istället denna nations särställning bland Israels fiender. Amalek beskrivs som ”den första nationen i världen” men, som det står, ”till slut skall de förgöras”. Amalek är den nation som av Yahweh pekats ut som judarnas ärkefiende och inom judaismen anses Yahweh ha ålagt de rättrogna råttorna att ”förgöra de som är bärare av Amaleks säd”.
ellauri300.html on line 755: Yahweh lovar i Torah att han ”skall strida mot Amalek från släkte till släkte” och kampen mellan Israel och Amalek har inom judendomen kommit att uppfattas som en kamp mellan det goda och det onda, en strid på liv och död som inte kommer att nå ett avgörande innan den sista striden.
ellauri300.html on line 757: Amalek uppfattas som både en fysisk nation och som en andlig ideologisk kraft. Lärda inom judendomen kan därför dela upp Amalek i två kategorier; den genetiska Amalek och den figurativa Amalek. Den genetiska Amalek är de människor som är fysiska ättlingar till Amalek och den figurativa Amalek är de övriga ”antisemiterna”. Den genetiska Amalek måste utrotas på Yahwehs order vilket bekräftas av rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik när han säger att ”varje individ som är bärare av Amaleks gener måste utraderas”. Den figurativa Amalek är de andra folkens antisemiter, de som endast i sinnelaget är påverkade av ärkefiendens antijudiska idéer. Bland dessa räknas araber och andra icke-ariska nationer som agerar mot Israels intressen.
ellauri300.html on line 759: Amalek ses inte bara som ett hot mot Israel som nation, utan även som motståndare till ”det utvalda folkets” heliga mission i världen eftersom Yahweh ”svor att hans namn och hans tro inte är fullkomlig förrän Amaleks namn är totalt utraderat”.
ellauri300.html on line 760: Yahweh har gett ”det utvalda folket” löftet att han skall ge dem ”hedningarna till arvedel och jordens ändar till egendom”¹° och Amalek står i vägen för detta messianska världsrikes fullbordan.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 268: Jeremia ei järin pitänyt elamiiteista. No ei se pitänyt monista muistakaan naapurikansoista. Jeremia (c. 650 – c. 570 BC), "itkeskelevä profeetta", oli heprealaisen raamatun majuriprofeettoja. Juutalaisen perinteen mukaan Jeremia väsäsi Jeremian kirjan, kuningasten kirjan, ja valitusvirret. Assistant editorina oli Baruch ben Neriah, Jeremian kirjuri ja opetuslapsi. Yahwehin, Israelin jumalan monien profetioiden lisäxi kirjassa on meheviä yxityiskohtia profeetan elämästä, sen kokemuxista ja vankilatuomioista. Jeremian kirja on kanoninen, ja Jeremia majuriprofeetoista hopeasijalla (kuka sai kultaa? No Jesaja tietysti, ja Hesekiel tuli pronssille.) Musulmaanitkin siteeraa Jeremiaa. Mulla taitaa olla siltä useitakin sitaatteja, mm. Jeremiadia, Siinä kohtaa sivutaan myös Edomia (alla).
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 351: Although God was out of the picture, a spiritual hunger remained. For a time, when he was friends for a brief stint with an elderly Gershom Scholem, he was intrigued by mysticism, hopeful it might offer him something the Jewish God did not. He often said he was appalled by the very notion of Yahweh, whom he described as an “uncanny, dangerous, altogether outrageous God,” who seemed to take a perverse pleasure in appearing when he was least needed and disappearing when he was needed most.
