Who is “I” in Psalm 4 Interesting question. I've been assuming, but never stopped to think about it, that the author meant "I" to mean himself and the compilers of the tanakh meant the psalms to be a model for us (so "I" is broader), but I can't support that. It's just a gut feeling. |

Have the “many” in Psalm 4 received blessings or were they already blessed? I read this as David saying "I'm even happier than they are when they get grain and wine, and I didn't get those (but I understand the value of what I did get)". I don't have sources, though; that's just my own reading. |

Does the New Testament predict Jesus' return on Rosh Hashanah? @user1539, fortunately, you're allowed to ask as many questions as you have. :-) |

Does the communion cup emphasize the vessel or the drink? Oh, interesting. I had thought he was assigning new meaning to a cup that was already being drunk, not taking a cup that wasn't drunk and saying to drink it (with new meaning). Thanks. |

Does the communion cup emphasize the vessel or the drink? Good point about "cup" referring also to contents. The cup of Eliyahu is never drunk (until he shows up :-) ), so how do you reconcile that with the text that talks about drinking it? (That's why I assumed it was the cup for grace, but that's just speculation.) |

Does the communion cup emphasize the vessel or the drink? @Ray, and presumably not eating a limb from a living animal, one of the laws given to Noah. I've never particularly understood that dietary practice, but the commandment is there so I guess somebody does (or did) that. |

What exactly did Moses do wrong at Meribah? @swasheck, good point about him seeing it. I used to think God was being unduly harsh with Moshe, but I can now see divine kindness here. |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? Nice update, thanks! |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? Thanks for the clarification. (I don't think Samuel, noted in the second link, says what they say it says, but that's not your problem. :-) ) |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? I saw that, but "N days, night or day" doesn't necessarily mean "N days and N nights", so it doesn't seem applicable. The Matthew passage seems to be counting nights; it doesn't say "3 days, day and night". |

How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? "N days" could include partial days, but I can't think of a case where "N days and N nights" could mean fewer than N nights. Do you have a reference? (I don't see support for that position in the article you linked.) |

Jewish interpretation of Genesis 1:26? Jas, thanks -- just wanted to make sure you were asking about the plural (and not something about "likeness" that I was missing) before I answered. (Whoops, I see now that you bolded those words, which I missed when viewing in my other browser.) |

Jewish interpretation of Genesis 1:26? I assume your question is about the use of the word "our"? |
