In Chapter 24, David keeps hiding in the wilderness!
When Saul returns from pursuing the Philistines, he starts again searching after David!
He takes 3,000 men with him!
David and his men are hiding in the cave!
Saul is near the cave and he wants to relieve himself!
David’s men want to take advantage of the situation and kill Saul!
And David cuts off the edge of Saul’s sleeveless coat!
But he prevents his men from killing Saul because he is the anointed of Yah.weh!
Then David calls out after Saul and shows him the edge of his coat he has just cut!
Then Saul begins to weep loudly!
And Saul goes back home and David his way!

In Chapter 25, David sends some men to Nabal to get some food because he protected his shepherds when they were with them!
But he refuses!
So David wants to kill him!

She asks David to forgive her husband!
David praises her!
Ten days later, Yah.weh strikes Nabal who dies!
And David proposes Abigail to become his wife!
So She becomes his second wife, Ahinoam being the first one!
Abigail is a good example to remember!

Coming back to 1 Samuel Chapter 25 and the event related to Nabal:
Because of Nabal’s attitude, David was to kill him and all his men!

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

- Sunrise to sunset
- Sunset to next sunset
General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')

He builds Yah.weh’s temple!

But it is never enough!

Somebody says :

A bad translations tells us that God Gave Abraham all of the land that he had walk upon and seen. However, Stephen in Acts 7 states that Abraham received no portion in the Land of Canaan, even to rest his foot upon. If we correctly understand the Hebrew text, then a very different conclusion is reached as how verse Genesis 13:14-15 should be paraphrased in English.

However, if we consider the Hebrew text and correctly translate into English so that the same context is found in both, then the English translation should read in this fashion: -

Genesis 13:14-15: - 14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are — northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the earth which you see, {that (entity)}, I will give to your descendants for a long period of time whose ending, which is beyond man’s comprehension, is at the vanishing point, {of this particular time period}, in the future.[1]

In Genesis 12:1-3 we find that God promised Abraham the whole earth and not a skimpy/small piece of ground.

Genesis 12:1-3: - 12:1 Now the Lord had said[1] to Abram:[2]

"Get out of your country,

From your family

And from your father's house,

To an earth that I will show you.

2 I will make you a great nation;

I will bless you

And make your name great;

And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,

And I will curse him who curses you;

And through you all the families of the ground/land/fertile fields [3] shall be blessed."

How our understanding changes when we read a good/better translation.

[1] The Lord called Abram while he was in Ur (see Gen 15:7; Acts 7:2); but the sequence here makes it look like it was after the family left to migrate to Canaan (11:31-32). Genesis records the call of Abram at this place in the narrative because it is the formal beginning of the account of Abram. The record of Terah was brought to its end before the narrative of Abraham begins.
[2] The call of Abram begins with an imperative לֶךְ־ לְךָ֛ (lekh-l®kha, "go out") followed by three cohortatives (v. 2 a) indicating purpose or consequence ("that I may" or "then I will"). If Abram leaves, then God will do these three things. The second imperative (v. 2 b, literally "and be a blessing") is subordinated to the preceding cohortatives and indicates God's ultimate purpose in calling and blessing Abram. On the syntactical structure of vv. 1-2 see R. B. Chisholm, "Evidence from Genesis," A Case for Premillennialism, 37. For a similar sequence of volitive forms see Gen 45:18.
It would be hard to overestimate the value of this call and this divine plan for the theology of the Bible. Here begins God's plan to bring redemption to the world. The promises to Abram will be turned into a covenant in Gen 15 and 22 (here it is a call with conditional promises) and will then lead through the Bible to the work of the Messiah.
[3] The Hebrew Root of הָאֲדָמָֽה, H:0127, has the meaning of soil, and is akin to a fertile field/face of the land/world.
Genesis 2:7: –– 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
One could argue that what is being said here is that all of the peoples of the world that occupy God’s fertile field/ground will be blessed. The flip side of this covenant is that all of the people who do not occupy God’s fertile field/ground will be cursed.

[1] Another way of saying this verse might be: - “15 for all the earth which you see, that entity, I will give to your descendants for a long period of time where the end point of that time period, will be beyond your descendants capacity to comprehend when the possession of the described land will end.

- That’s why I usually put this small message to tell people to be careful with translations :

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

Point of time (a specific day)
time period of a whole or half a day:
- Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
- Sunrise to sunset
- Sunset to next sunset
General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
A year "lived a lot of days"
Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

Somebody says :

Well, I agree with you and I note that you have fallen into the same trap that you warn others about.

I pointed that you claimed that Abraham was given land in the land of Canaan, but Stephen said that Abraham was not given any of the land of Canaan, even to rest his foot upon. The members of the Sanhedrin standing around him did not disagree with Stephen in Acts 7.

It seems that you have missed the context of what I have posted. I posted my paraphrase of Genesis 13:14-15 using the NKJV this time with the changes that I believe are required to provide the right context of what was recorded in the original Hebrew text.

If you want to disagree with my contextual paraphrase, then write your rebuttal based on those verses so that you can demonstrate that I am in error, otherwise you are fishing for other passages that may not be speaking of the same thing.

The passages that you quoted Ex 3:8, 3:15, 6:3, 6:4 and 6:8 are all not applicable to the conversation that you have started.

Shalom

My answer :

- On the contrary, Yah.weh made a promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (thus he appeared to them as God almighty but not as Yah.weh)!

- He revealed himself as Yah.weh to the Israelites when they received the promised land of Canaan when they took it by fighting and with Yah.weh's help!

- Of course, Abraham didn't get the land of Canaan!

- He was only a foreigner!

- And there were many people living on this land!

JLG · Jun 18, 2023

Somebody says :

And now you are agreeing with what I had originally posted in my first response in this thread to your claim in Chapter 13 of Genesis that: -
by saying that Abraham in Genesis 13:14-15 was not given any of the land that he had walked upon, but that his descendants after him would receive this land for a finite period of time where the end point of that time period would be beyond their ability to comprehend.

So, all of your rebuttal post had no purpose in this conversation.

You have confirmed why I am only need to skim through your very long posts.

Shalom
