Isn’t it interesting how the life we lead serves to teach us what is laid out in Scripture? I have also pointed out before how I love it when new scientific discoveries confirm what was written in Scripture thousands of years ago. In my lifetime, I have lived (and continue to live) many different “chapters.” …

Blog 201. When is משפט Justice and When Judgment?
⦁ ▸ Note BDB does NOT use “justice” for משפט. For this, we should not be so “mechanical” or “machine-like” in our translations. We should be “impeccable” with our word. Many times in what I have shared previously, using BDB as the basis for the more literal translations, I have used “judgment” when it felt uncomfortable to …
Blog 195. Feel מש
I was struggling with another entry to share here, but instead I was led to share this.

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 …
