Do modern interpreters use the methods of Talmudical hermeneutics? Partial duplicate: How do Jewish scholars differ from Christian scholars in their approach to the Tanakh? (Christian and Jewish). |

What does Azazel mean in Leviticus 16:8? Good question. Strong's gives a speculative derivation (not that one) but doesn't show his work. (I assume you've seen that?) |

Does the Bible mention unicorns? 1. 07213 is a verb not a participle). It therefore does not fit in context. 07214 is the word in question ("unicorn", or something else). If you say otherwise, please bring a source. 2. Are you seriously suggesting that people read/recited/studied the Hebrew bible for centuries but "didn't know" what it meant? 3. I don't see how your unsupported "gopher" comment fits into this answer. You haven't said that anything here translates as "gopher", so playing games with that word doesn't seem to help. |

Why does Matthew include these women in Jesus' genealogy? Interesting; I was expecting the opposite, that these women were particularly meritorious. Tamar took matters into her own hands when Yehudah failed in his obligation; Rachav saw the truth of Israel's God and supported them against her own people; Ruth left her homeland to avoid abandoning her mother-in-law. That leaves Batsheva; it's not a perfect interpretation. :-) |

How would stoning of an adulterer actually be carried out under the Law of Moses? @TimGallant, I added a paragraph to the end of my answer. As I suspected, information about the different execution methods comes from oral tradition, which obviously can't be proven. I'm not aware of relevant historical records; if you are, I encourage you to add an answer. |

Why was Abishag the Shunammite important? Hi and welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics. What you've written could apply to anything Adoniyah did, right? Can you connect this to Abishag, or say more about this awareness of Solomon's? Thanks. |

Is God still at war with Amalek? revised to account for psalm 9 (per comments) |

Is God still at war with Amalek? @JackDouglas, that seems to be Rashi's interpretation. Other rabbis understand that Amalek was destroyed (by Saul and Shmuel), interestingly enough. This discussion led me to ask this on Mi Yodeya last night; check out the answers there. Interesting stuff! (I'll see if I can bring any of this into my answer. You might want to ask a broader "what is Psalm 9 referring to?" question if that doesn't satisfy, especially since it might not be Amalek according to all.) |

Is God still at war with Amalek? @JackDouglas, check out the Rashi on the first verse of Ps 9. He sees this psalm as for the future (when Amalek will have been destroyed, among other things). That's not the only opinion out there, but since it's Rashi who sees v6 as being about Amalek, his comment on v1 is part of that picture too. |

How would stoning of an adulterer actually be carried out under the Law of Moses? @TimGallant, we may only have the oral law on this and not an explicit scriptural source, but I'll see what I can find. The question asked about historical context (in Jesus's time), so the rabbinic interpretation seems applicable there. I'm not claiming that the bible says this method explicitly; it only says "put to death". |
