WORD STUDY – THERE WAS יהי
Genesis 12:10 “There was famine in the land.” “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I read in Jewish literature an interesting twist to this verse in Genesis 12:10. The word for...
WORD STUDY – A REAL JERK – חומצ
Psalms 71:4 “Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.” Most commentators believe that this wicked person is David’s son Absalom who plotted against his father and forced him from the throne...
WORD STUDY – If אמ
Leviticus 26:3-4: “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; (4) Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” I was reading in the Talmud...
WORD STUDY – EXCELLENT SPIRIT – רוח יתירא
Daniel 6:3: “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes because an excellent spirit was in him and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.” The more I read this passage over the more I became fascinated with this idea of an...
WORD STUDY-CORNET שׁופרן

Number 25:11: “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.” Like him or not Donald...
WORD STUDY – DELIVER MY SOUL – הצילה נפשׁי
Psalms 120:2: “Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.” At first reading it appears that the writer is saying: “Lord make those gossiping about me shut up, punch ‘em in the mouth.” But upon closer examination, the writer is not...

Isaiah 35:8: “And a highway shall be there, and a way and it shall be called The Way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools shall not err therein.” What did Isaiah really see in his prophecy...
WORD STUDY – TEMPT THE LORD אנסה את יהוה
Isaiah 7:11-12: “Ask thee a sign of the Lord, thy God, ask it either in the depth or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask neither will I tempt the Lord.” Luke 12:24: “To whom much is given, much is expected.” Generally, we will not escape...
WORD STUDY – LANGUAGE AND SPEECH – שׁפה ודברימ
Genesis 11:1 “And the whole earth was of one language and one speech. (6) And the LORD said, Behold, the people [are] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. I...
