Jesus answered this question on several occasions:
Incident #1:
Luke 13:14-16 - But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had

Generally speaking, there are three terms in view.
The children of Israel
The assembly
The congregation
The idea is that all are of the congregation, while most are children of Israel, but only some are of the assembly. The assembly is similar to elders.

Malbim and Radak translate תְּ֭רֹעֵם as breaking, seeing a parallel/contrast between the first and last words of the verse.

Revelation 12,5a And she bore a son, a male, who is fixing to ...

It’s rare to have plasma on earth before nuclear reactors but when it does happen here it appears as rivers of rippling northern light, red sprites and solar winds. I love to ...

It is not evil to fulfill a promise of wrath to a rebellious people. Many of us like to take powers and righteousness away from God by saying things like God can’t do that.

Looking at the text of Hosea as a whole, the book is replete with dire threats and warnings against Israel. However, the only violent action ...
