Ecclesiastes 4:12 A cord of three strands is not quickly broken As @MonicaCellio points out, the trinity reference is not needed in the answer. From a Jewish perspective, this verse is Midrashically taken to refer to the Patriarchs. Not all of Abraham’s sons were worthy, similarly for Isaac, but Jacob’s sons had three righteous forebearers and so all turned out right since “a cord of three strands is not quickly broken”. |

Did women contribute to the temple in exodus 35:22? The trop separate the first four words from the rest of the verse; seems the Massoretes had your question in mind. |

Why does God say he only revealed his name, Yahweh, to Moses? The b- prefix would better translate as “with” rather than “in”, hence “with my name YHVH I did not make myself known to them”. Considering the strong association between name and identity, this can equally be read as a lacuna in the Patriarchs’ understanding of God’s YHVH-ness as their ignorance of the name. |

Why does God say he only revealed his name, Yahweh, to Moses? Why do you translate the words “לא נודעתי” as “I did not make known” rather than the reflexive “I did not make myself known”? In order to get at the translation you’re using, the text should have been “לא הודעתי”. |

Why, in Ezekiel 28, is the King of Tyre conflated with Lucifer? +1; I had not realized that those whose beliefs include Satan might also read these verses in an adiabolistic sense. |

Why, in Ezekiel 28, is the King of Tyre conflated with Lucifer? The question always comes before the answers, though. ☺ |

Who did Cain marry? @JonEricson, then you’d best be very careful when talking about the Lumberman’s Exchange web site. ☺ |
