Why did the Law of Moses tolerate polygyny (polygamy) but not polyandry? I've raised the question in the c.se chat room: feel free to join in there... |

Why did the Law of Moses tolerate polygyny (polygamy) but not polyandry? I was going to ask if you'd like it moved, but realised it may be too old under the "be extremely reluctant to migrate old, answered questions" rule :( |

Reading the Bible via verse and chapter and not getting the intended meaning? This is a great question, and I sympathise with your reasons for asking it. It's also on-topic as it is essentially asking about hermeneutics: techniques and frameworks for understanding the meaning of Biblical texts. But as Dan mentions the question is also broad: too broad for the site in my view as it lends itself to any number of good answers. If you'd like to discuss how we could edit the question to reduce it's scope, please drop by the site chat room |

Why did the Law of Moses tolerate polygyny (polygamy) but not polyandry? This has been flagged as off-topic, and on reflection, I'm inclined to agree. I apologise for the lateness of the closure to you and others who have taken the trouble to answer. I've asked for comments in the site chat room: The Library |

Coherence-Based Genealogical Method vs. Local Text-Types Theory no, the site welcomes Jewish, Christian, Atheist and other viewpoints as long as they take seriously the process of understanding the Biblical texts. |

Coherence-Based Genealogical Method vs. Local Text-Types Theory +1, this is very useful and just the kind of approach we need on the site: good research and clear communication. Do you mean you can only ever access the site from your phone or just right now? |

How should Sirach 3:17 be translated? comment by anonymous user: "I want to add that the Cairo Genizah collection was demonstrated to be very reliable for Sirach by the Dead Sea Scrolls" |

How can I identify puns in the Hebrew Bible? Hi Bob, do you know someone called 'hudson roper'? He posted a question directed at you about the progress of your dictionary (I assume because he doesn't have the rep to comment here): "how is this going Bob? hopefully well. hudson" |

The beloved disciple vs Peter Hi Remiel, there was a suggested edit from an anonymous user: was that you? Either way, it would be great if you could edit your thoughts into a more complete answer :) |

Who led the people out of Israel in Jude 5? @DanO'Day I encourage you to accept the best answer regardless of who answers—most visitors don't know about the community aspect of the site and we are really here to benefit them (we are currently getting 700+ visitors daily, most directly from Google!). Of course I agree this is the best answer (thanks swasheck) but I don't want anyone to get the impression from your comment that you'd choose it even if it weren't :) |

Does Gabriel's initial announcement to Mary suggest the virgin birth? @H3br3wHamm3r81 surely v34? |

God the Father's possession of a body of flesh and bones Thanks for the edit: sorry to mess you around like this but it seems clear to me now that this is a real question, but that it is off topic. Please see this on meta for the detail but basically I think your question arises from a doctrine rather than arises from the text (though of course it is about the text, I'm not debating that, but we've had to make the rules very specific on this) |

Does 1st Kings say that pi = 3? +1 for a common-sense answer though you haven't really added much that hasn't been said already ;) |

Why did the witnesses lay their coats at Paul's feet? +1 I find this an interesting comparison especially considering 1 Timothy 1:15-16. It would help others if you would add the Bible quotes inline (you can edit your answer)—are you willing to spend a few minutes doing that? |

What are the differences between Hebrew and Aramaic? This related question: How different is Biblical Hebrew from modern Hebrew? covers some of the same ground. |

What's the difference between “sensus plenior” and “inspired sensus plenior”? Well I don't particularly mind if you want it left just the way it is :) tbh I was wondering if it was deliberate irony given the question ;) |

What's the difference between “sensus plenior” and “inspired sensus plenior”? +1 but you have used the word 'particular' 5 times! |
