Thoughts and Questions from the Writer to Encourage the Reader to Investigate
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. Not only was it defined in the opening passage from Matthew …
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. We won’t do them all – there are plenty more for you to “seek and find.” Most often it does not appear with a Strong’s number, as if insignificant, but you may get …
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 …
