Is LXX “Enoch pleased God” a reasonable idiomatic translation of Hebrew “Enoch walked with God”? Good analysis. The problem (IMO) with translating halakh as "pleased God" is that it confuses cause with consequence. The way to please God is to walk in His ways. Without that connection, one might think that there are other ways to please God -- which may be true for daughter religions, but isn't the case for Jews in Tanakh. |

Does Romans 13:8 include a prohibition of taking loans? Without any broader context my first reaction to these verses is that he's saying "don't delay payment" (possibly hearkening back to torah passages requiring that workers be paid the same day). |

David and Goliath: David's Reasons For Fighting Good analysis, but it does raise the question of why David asked about the reward if he didn't intend to claim it. |

Why is Israel referred to with a male pronoun in Jeremiah 31:10? But to answer @JonEricson's question, verse 10 in your link (verse 9 in mine) does contain "Israel", yes, and a singular masculine reference, which does not surprise me. Every noun in Hebrew has gender; there's no neuter. I hope OP will clarify the question -- is it something about this passage, or a more general question about refering to Israel? Edit: oh wait, I see the problem I think: יְקַבְּצֶנּוּ |

Why is Israel referred to with a male pronoun in Jeremiah 31:10? Oh interesting; whence the verse mismatch? See mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt1131.htm#10 (I knew there were differences in psalms between some editions, but I didn't know there was a diff in prophets!) But wait, mechon-mamre is JPS too! What's going on? |

Why is Israel referred to with a male pronoun in Jeremiah 31:10? Also, "Israel" doesn't appear in that verse. Is that the one you meant? |

Does “foundations of the earth” in Job 38:4 refer to just the earth, or is it a metaphor for more? added last paragraph (minor tweaks elsewhere) |
