  • 2 Maccabees 14:35 / Neofiti Exodus 25:8

    David Green

    The term in question is translates to what is represented by the the Temple mentioned in the 11th (levening #) verse of 2 Samuel 7, as part of the covenant that established the physical Temple. 2 Samuel 7.11 ... Moreover the LORD declares to you that the LORD will make you a house. The w ...

  • Genesis 1:1 / Neofiti Genesis 1:1

    Daniel

    Perhaps I’m missing something but when I look at the source text. I don’t see “Word of the Lord” or Memra present in the English translation of Targums or Onkelos

  • Didache 4:8 / Pirkei Avot 3:7

    Ben Harris

    I need to find out the meaning of this quote "Do not turn away from someone who is in need; rather, share everything with your brother, and do not say that it is your own. For if you are partners in what is imperishable, how much more so in perishable things!" (Didache 4:8)

  • Menander, Thais 218 / 1 Corinthians 15:33

    Anonymous

    What difference does it make if Paul used a quote from Menander's Thais in his letter to the Corinthian church. God gives knowledge and thoughts to all mankind, so why can't that knowledge and thought be used interchangeably? Why can't Paul quote Menander; besides it is a known fact, that Paul was e ...

  • 1 Enoch 6:2 / Legends of the Jews 3

    Katrina

    How could humans give birth to giants? Are you sure they weren't female and made babies with man?! That seems more scientifically probable.

  • 1 Enoch 95:1 / Philippians 3:18

    Bob Curtis

    In chapter 2 wisdom of Enoch verse 43 it says. Well to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed. What does that mean?

  • Isaiah 61:1 / LXX Isaiah 61:1

    Wayne

    Thanks to the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a spirit body, all those who were drowned by Noah's flood have been released as spirit bodies into God's heaven (1 Peter 3:18-19). Why was Jesus interested in them in the first place? Why not something more recent, like those of Sodom a ...

    What does Memra mean? Which Hebrew word does it refer to/which Hebrew word underlies it/what is the morphology of Memra? How would you spell Memra in Hebrew?

  • Isaiah 57:17 / LXX Isaiah 57:17

    Joli

    "I create the fruit of the lips" and Isaiah 57:19 is omitted in the Septuagint. My question is, is that phrase omitted from the Septuagint? And why? And if it should be supplied as in the Hebrew, is create a one-time action?

  • 1 Enoch 12:4 / Jude 1:6

    James Ouma Glory

    The articlates some hidden truths which many hasn't perceived though they read their bible everyday. I appreciate it. Can I have a link through which I can download a text containing the book of Enoch.

  • Judges 13:6 / Matthew 1:20

    NIV

    "Genesis 16, 17" - There is no such source in the Jewish Bible. test that I conducted, even among you Christians there is no such numbering: https://biblehub.com/bsb/genesis/16.htm Brown, Raymond E. Refers to the correct source in Genesis 16:8-11.

  • 2 Enoch 49:1 / Matthew 5:34

    Tre Brickley

    I would offer the International Critical Commentary as a corrective to the line of thinking offered by Dean Deppe above. Against interpreting 5:33–7 as excluding in casuistic fashion all oaths, the following observations are pertinent. (1) As Jeremias, Theology, p. 220, has affirmed, the example ...

  • Wisdom of Solomon 10:6 / 2 Peter 2:7

    Cheryl

    Wisdom of Solomon 10:5 "kept him strong in the face of his compassion for his child". Who is this referring to? As you read through chapter 10, some of the people are evident such as "steering the righteous man by a paltry piece of wood". "Compassion for his child" makes me think of Moses, but t ...
