Blog 191. Feminine “This” זאת
The first occurrence of זאת (it occurs three times in that first verse) is in Genesis 2:23. There are no other connecting phrases in that verse. This is a distinctive occurrence, a “flag,” of sorts, to “pay attention.” We will see more below to help with the understanding, but I will say just a few important …
Blog 190. Narrow the Way
The first time that followers of Yeshua/Jesus were called “Christians” was in Antioch (Acts 11:26) Numerous other times, we see in the book of Acts, the followers of Yeshua/Jesus were known as “The Way” (Acts 9:1-2, 29:6-9, 19:23-26, 24:12-16, and 24:22-23. “The Way” was an important perspective for his followers.

Blog 189. A Follow Up to Blog 126.
It seems long ago I said I would return to something, but have not specifically done so.

Blog 187. AlHaTorah Search Like Which כאשר – [just as]
Impression – כאשר like which; just as cognate permutations (intensive effort) You can see כאשר is a very common occurrence in TaNaKh, and this is without any modifications.

Blog 185. To Appreciate הדר
I actually began thinking on this topic on my recent trip to Sukkot, driving across the desert Southwest. I realized how much I “appreciated” the Landscape. I was thinking a lot about national parks that we have set aside for people to “appreciate.” We honor these places. To me the topography, the rock formations, are …
