Is Naaman impure? @Kazark: TNX, I still have more editing to do. I would like to re-write and separate the translation issues from the particularly Jewish interpretation problems and add a third section with a translation of the Rif's universalist gloss which I think would be of interest to Christians. |

Is Naaman impure? Only Negaim 3:1 is relevant in this case, as we are dealing with persons, not clothing or houses. The Mishna clearly represents an opposing position to that implied in this passage from the Bible. |

Do any Hermeneutical approaches have a specific meaning for the number 11? Why the down votes on this answer? |

Why is David's throne established by so much deceit? The God of the OT reveals himself to Israel through history, so for them, history was theology. That's key to understanding the OT. |

Jewish interpretation of Daniel 7:13-14 From middle of 2:4 until end of 7 is Aramaic. "bar enash" is the same as the Hebrew "ben adam", meaning, "human being". |

What are the “shields of the earth”? Same term magen or shield used in Psalms 84:10, and 89:19. In 47:9 the term is used instead of "kings" because at this point in time they are defeated and so are no longer worthy of the title which in this psalm refers only to God. This psalm seems to commemorate an actual military victory, for which God is credited. |

What are the “shields of the earth”? My translation would be: "The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for the rulers of the earth have submitted to God, and He is greatly praised". |

“God of Heaven” in the book of Daniel In manuscript, Ezra 7:*12*, Aramaic "Elaha Shamaya". See Daniel 2:19 same Aramaic. See Genesis 24:3 for first use in Hebrew, preceded by the tetragrammaton, followed by "and God of the earth". See Nehemiah 1:4 (Heb.). |

Did Lot or the men of Sodom recognize Lot's visitors as angels? If the men of Sodom cannot recognize the humanity of their fellows, how could they recognize angels? |

Isaac's Blessing of His Sons The theory of the Isaac's collusion in the ruse is found in some of the Midrashic traditions. It's not mainstream interpretation, but the drafting of the story leaves the possibility open. It does paint Isaac in a better light, and that helps solve one of the central problems of the story, what was it that Issac was thinking in 25:28? |

David's Brinkmanship with the Philistines at Apheq That is, if we were looking for an apologetic, we could say that David's battle plan was to betray the Philistines in their midst, and possibly even save the day for Saul, a further demonstration of both his loyalty, his bravery and his audacity ("hutspah" we wold call it now ;-). |
