Whose idea was it to send the spies to scout the land of Israel? @monica - YHWH rebuked Satan twice in Zech 3:2, and so the accusations of Satan against Joshua the high priest were not acts provided by the direction of God -- thus Satan is an independent agent. |

Pre-Christian, Jewish interpretation of Psalm 22 @bruce - I do not know where I had relied on anything to do with the Greek language. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? @swasheck (and jackdouglas) - I apologize for the confusion. When I said "no less than 12 disciples" I did not mean that 12 disciples were left, but that numerically the number of people involved at the time did not go below twelve. (In other words, there could have been 50 people remaining.) What I forgot to mention was that the number of disciples following Jesus eventually went to zero according to John 16:32. |

How should James 2:18 be translated? @Monica, I am drawing from the Christian New Testament to interpret the Hebrew Bible. For example, Paul and James respectively ascribe "righteousness by faith" to Abraham for the siring and attempted sacrifice of Isaac. That is, his siring and attempted sacrifice were acts of faith. Then I jump back to Psalm 106 and say that what Phinehas did was an act of faith, since the Abrahamic Covenant was in view. The Israelite was desecrating the sacred procreative seed with the Midianite woman in the immediate vicinity of the Tabernacle. The killing thus an act of faith as well -- unto righteousness. |

How should James 2:18 be translated? @Monica - The noun אֱמוּנָה is implied in Gen 15:6, and therefore inferred by the reader, since the pronoun is in the feminine. The Christian New Testament (Rom 4:9) makes explicit that "faith" was the implied-antecedent of this pronoun. Since the word אֱמוּנָה (faith) is feminine in Hebrew, and since the pronoun suffix in Gen 15:6 is feminine in Hebrew, the Hebrew word אֱמוּנָה was in view (according to Rom 4:9). Also, in Ps 106 the subject is not Phinehas, but his act of faith, which is passively ascribed to him as righteousness - i.e., the act is not ascribed as self-righteousness. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? In John 6:60 there is mention of "many of his disciples" which, due to the announcement of carrying ones cross, then becomes a group whittled down to no less than 12 people according to John 6:66-67. |

Who was Matthew 5-7 addressed to? In Luke 6:17-49, if Luke is referring to the same events as Matthew 5-7 (i.e., Sermon on the Mount) then the term "disciples" is qualified by Luke in his gospel account as "a large crowd of his disciples" not to mention "a great throng of people" (Luke 6:17). Concerning this large crowd of people, Luke continues and writes: "And turning his gaze toward his disciples..." (Luke 6:20). Thus the great mass of people also comprised "his disciples." |

To whom does the anointed refer in 1 Chron 16:22 Yes, it seems the patriarchs are indeed in view - that is, Abraham is termed a "prophet" in Gen 20:7, which complements the meaning that the "anointed ones" are also "prophets." |

Did Abraham leave Haran before or after his father died? Sarah died when Abraham was 135 years old per Gen 23:1, after which he married Keturah and sired no less than six more sons per Gen 25:1-2. Also, up until the time of the divided kingdom, some people still had lived to as long as 130 years of age per 2 Chr 24:15. |
