Months earlier, Ivana had undergone cosmetic reconstruction with a California doctor. She emerged unrecognizable to her friends and perhaps her children, as fresh and innocent of face as Heidi of Edelweiss Farms. Although she had negotiated four separate marital-property agreements over the last fourteen years, she was suing her husband for half his assets. Trump was trying to be philosophical. “When a man leaves a woman, especially when it was perceived that he has left for a piece of ass—a good one!—there are 50 percent of the population who will love the woman who was left,” he told me.

The Tyndale Bible was the first English translation to use the anglicized reconstruction. The modern letter "J" settled on its current English pronunciation only around 500 years ago; in Ancient Hebrew, the first consonant of the Tetragrammaton always represents a "Y" sound.

Et les polémiques reprennent et se succèdent : contre Tristan Tzara se présentant comme le nouveau chef de file du surréalisme, contre Jean-Paul Sartre qui considérait les surréalistes comme des petits-bourgeois, contre des universitaires, en démontant la supercherie d’un soi-disant inédit d’Arthur Rimbaud, contre Albert Camus et les chapitres que celui-ci consacre à Lautréamont et au surréalisme dans L’Homme révolté. Kuka täällä hajuttaa, Milli-Molli rupsuttaa.
ellauri184.html on line 257: The Bible records that following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite tribes, Joshua allocated the land among the twelve tribes. According to biblical scholar Kenneth Kitchen, this conquest should be dated slightly after 1200 BCE. Some modern scholars argue that the conquest of Joshua, as described in the Book of Joshua, never occurred. “Besides the rejection of the Albrightian conquest model, the general consensus among OT scholars is that the Book of Joshua has no value in the historical reconstruction. They see the book as an ideological retrojection from a later period — either as early as the reign of Josiah or as late as the Hasmonean period.” "It behooves us to ask, in spite of the fact that the overwhelming consensus of modern scholarship is that Joshua is a pious fiction composed by the deuteronomistic school, how does and how has the Jewish community dealt with these foundational narratives, saturated as they are with acts of violence against others?" ”Recent decades, for example, have seen a remarkable reevaluation of evidence concerning the conquest of the land of Canaan by Joshua. As more sites have been excavated, there has been a growing consensus that the main story of Joshua, that of a speedy and complete conquest (e.g. Josh. 11.23: 'Thus Joshua conquered the whole country, just as the LORD had promised Moses') is contradicted by the archaeological record, though there are indications of some destruction at the appropriate time. No oliko sitten koko esinahkakasa satua? Ketä enää uskoa? Usko siirtää vuoria, eikö sitten esinahkakukkuloita?

ellauri499.html on line 76: Given the obviously propagandistic character of south Judahite Bible,  non-biblical evidence is a better source to study the northern kingdom of Israel. Adopting this approach, here is a new reconstruction of the history of YHWH and Baal worship in ancient Israel and Judah that challenges dominant scholarly models of YHWH’s historical origins as a storm god whose worship is said to have originated among non-Israelite/non-Judahite peoples in Bronze Age Arabia.
ellauri499.html on line 78: This historical reconstruction proposes that YHWH—a deity firmly rooted in the central Israelite hill country during the Iron Age—only formally became Israel’s god during the ninth century BCE, when Samaria’s Omride kings deliberately modeled the local deity YHWH on the more popular Levantine warrior storm-god Baal(-šamêm). Furthermore, I argue that YHWH only officially became Judah’s patron god and the primary deity of the Jerusalem temple under the direct influence of Omride Israel’s YHWistic political-religious reforms. Ultimately, I conclude that Baal worship was traditional in ancient Israelite and Judahite religion down to the end of the monarchic period, at which point small circles of Judahite scribes began to advocate "historically innovative" monopoöistic political-religious ideologies pitting the Israelite deity YHWH against the allegedly “foreign” god Baal.
ellauri499.html on line 80: This historical reconstruction proposes that YHWH—a local minor deity firmly rooted in the central Israelite hill country during the Iron Age—only formally became Israel’s god during the ninth century BCE, when Samaria’s Omride kings deliberately modeled the local deity YHWH on the more popular Levantine warrior storm-god Baal(-šamêm).
ellauri499.html on line 92: In a buzzword (well, 2) the relationship between YHWH and Baal in ancient Israel and Judah was "dynamic" and "complex", refecting developments in Israel and Judah’s religious, social, and political histories, and any historical reconstruction of YHWH and Baal’s shared history in ancient Israel and Judah requires critical evaluation and integration of all the available types of evidence—biblical, epigraphic, iconographic, archaeological, and onomastic (includ- ing toponyms)—situated in their ancient social, cultural, political, economic, and historical "contexts."
ellauri499.html on line 104: Whatever one’s views on the Hebrew Bible’s ability to preserve early Israelite and Judahite lore, the general down-dating of biblical texts to later periods offers a profound challenge to the scholar interested in using the Hebrew Bible for historical purposes. The Hebrew Bible’s problematic relationship to history appears especially acute for earlier periods, since there may be no biblical writing that dates before the ninth century, when extended literary writing in local Northwest Semitic languages evidently makes its frst appearance in the epigraphic record of the southern Levant. Therefore eeach biblical text must be critically examined on a case-by-case basis to determine its potential utility for historical reconstruction.
ellauri499.html on line 167: Because the Hebrew Bible is fundamentally a Judahite document, scholarly reconstructions of Israelite religion often subordinate the religion of the kingdom of Israel to that of the kingdom of Judah. However, the historical, archaeological, and iconographic records indicate that Israel, not Judah, was the major engine of political, economic, and religious change in Iron Age II Israel-Palestine.
ellauri499.html on line 222: If you want to pin this down concretely, tell me which episode you have in mind for “Aaron, Ahab, Omri” (e.g., Aaron and the golden calf; Ahab/Elijah and Carmel; the Omri dynasty and Baal). Then I can show how those texts are arguing—and what a “non-polemical reconstruction” usually tries to preserve (and what it tries to discard).
ellauri499.html on line 347: The idea that Israel and Judah were always meant to be strictly monotheistic is widely considered by historians to be a Deuteronomistic reconstruction. After the North fell to Assyria and the South fell to Babylon, Southern scribes edited and compiled the historical books (Kings and Chronicles).
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 311: Other social structures are examined in works such as the story cycle Four Ways to Forgiveness, and the short story "Old Music and the Slave Women", occasionally described as a "fifth way to forgiveness". Set in the Hainish universe, the five stories together examine revolution and reconstruction in a slave-owning society. According to above mentioned Rochelle, the stories examine a society that has the potential to build a "truly human community", made possible by the Ekumen´s recognition of the slaves as human beings, thus offering them the prospect of freedom and the possibility of utopia, brought about through revolution. Slavery, justice, and the role of women in society are also explored in Anals of the Western Shore.
