12/30 “joshua 1:8-9” – Here is what we posted in November and October:
11/04 “joshua 1 8-9” – Reprinting our answer from last month:
10/19 ”joshua 1:8″ – This verse has landed in ‘search engine terms’ repeatedly; we do not have a post on it, but let me write some thoughts here since it will most likely be showing up often. Why? Because it is a key verse emphasizing the importance of the Torah in the historical context of the chosen people’s beginnings. The time-frame of this verse is at the end of the wilderness wandering of 40 years when a new generation was about to enter and conquer the Land. Moses, their leader/prophet/mediator had finished his assignment from YHWH and a new leader, this time a warrior, would lead the 2nd generation who were born free in the wilderness. Yehuwshuwa/Joshua (together with Caleb) was of the first generation that left Egypt but all have died including Moses, before entering the Promised Land. What was given to the first generation who stood on Sinai to accept the Covenant with YHWH as well as Israel’s Book of instructions and laws to live by, is passed on to the 2nd generation who are reminded by the same God of their fathers to live by the same guidelines and commandments.
Notice the key words: contemplate, observe, do = successful, act wisely, strong, courageous.
Why? ”For YHWH is with you. . . .”
[AST] This Book of the Torah shall not depart from your mouth; rather you should contemplate it day and night in order that you observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful, and then you will act wisely. Behold, I have commanded you, ‘Be strong and courageous,’ do not lose resolve, for HASHEM, your God, is with you wherever you will go.”
[HNT] 8. This Çepher haTowrah [Scroll; Writings of the Teachings; Instructions] will not depart out of your mouth, but you will meditate on it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written. Your way will push forward and then you will be mindful. 9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and alert; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for יהוה your ‘Elohiym [Mighty One] is with you wherever you walk.

12/30 “what does uncircumcised lips mean in the bible” – Exodus/Shemoth 6-b: Do you have “uncircumcised lips”?

12/28 “what does uncircumcised lips” – 12/27 “uncircumcised lips of moses” –
This must be the most researched phrase on our website, it shows up quite regularly; don’t know if searchers think up the term themselves or they spot it on our title list, remember and return. I picked it up from a verse I knew would catch readers’ attention and sure enough it does: Exodus/Shemoth 6-b: Do you have “uncircumcised lips”?
I suppose the word “circumcised” has never been used on any other body part except you-know-where and what the hell would ‘uncircumcised lips’ mean? If we understood a simple contrast that the God of Israel taught His chosen people in His Sinai revelation — it is the difference or contrast between two states of being (for humans, that is), but it is illustrated in animals, rituals, disease, etc. So, the Scriptures use these words: pure and impure, clean and unclean, circumcised and uncircumcised, all relating to the life He requires of Israel first, and of the Nations in time, as they know about Him through Israel, and learn the life He requires of all—whether Jew or Gentile — to ultimately live, all taught painstakingly in detail after detail of aspects of life in His Torah.

12/21 “yhwh is the designer of man” – Yes, YHWH the Creator of the universe, made all living creatures on earth, every species was specifically designed by Him for a purpose — the last being not created from nothing but formed from the dust is humankind, the only one made in His image and endowed with free will.

12/18 “when did names in tanack change to” – there is not enough here to figure out what this searcher needs—what names in TNK changed? Certain figures went through name-changes when their character fitted their destiny; Abram to Abraham, Saray to Sarah, Jacob to Israel Noah remained Noah, Isaac remained Isaac. Names in Hebrew are descriptive, not just labels for identification. Even the Names of the God of Torah are descriptive of an aspect of His character or a Divine attribute; the Name YHWH in His words, means “I will be whom I choose to be” and sometimes is described simply as “the Eternal” or “the All-Existent One”.
If the searcher meant — how did the original names of the books of the TNK change, that happened in the process of translating from the original Hebrew to Greek (in the Septuagint), and then into Latin (in the Vulgate), and Anglicized (for the English versions). Since the TNK was attached to the New Testament Scriptures and retitled “Old Testament”, the Greek/Anglicized titles became more familiar. In this website, we prefer to use the original Hebrew titles of the books so that our visitors can become increasingly familiar with the original Hebrew Scriptures and wean themselves from the Christianized OT. There is a big difference, not only in title, but in actual translation of specific verses used as ‘prooftext’ in Christian teaching.
12/18 “cleansed from original sin at mt sini” – What happened on Sinai had nothing to do with the Christian doctrine of original sin; in a nutshell, it had everything to do with the True God revealing Himself to a people He had formed through the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, making a covenant to be their God, and giving them guidelines for living recorded in the Torah of the Hebrew Scriptures.

12/16 “verses in the bible that says we should not wear attactment and jewries” – The scriptural passages that mention wearing of jewelry and enhancing physical attraction, whether in the NT or OT simply remind us that true beauty is not in accoutrements but in God-like character. There is a prohibition on transgender dressing although this seems to refer more specifically to homosexuality:

12/15 “leap of faith in nebrew” – Not sure what this searcher is looking for, a ‘leap of faith’ in the language of Hebrew? or in Jewish thinking?
12/15 “david damrosh ritual, symbolic, prophetic elements in leviticus” – A Literary Approach to the book of Leviticus/Wai’qrah
We have no specific article on this although this whole website began on our own ‘leap of faith’ from our former Christ-centered religion to leaving everything we’ve ever believed and lived for decades of our lives, to venture back to the original revelation which we settled in our mind as found ONLY in the TORAH, as in the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures which record the revelation on Sinai. Any major shift in belief is a leap of faith; ours was a totally radical shift, it left many of our former colleagues not only stunned but seriously worried about our ‘salvation’. We have not convinced anyone from our former religious affiliations, but as this website visitor statistics shows, there are those like us who are searching and somehow land in this website and find articles that help them in their own quest for truth. Praise YHWH for the internet highway, that is where we meet YOU, dear visitor. We value your visit, hopefully you have enough to read in the resources we share. We are on the same journey, treading the same pathway . . . it leads to Sinai, the neutral territory where all humankind—Jew and Gentile—receive the one and only Revelation which is ALL we need to know about Him and how to relate to one another.
In the words of Benmara’s His Name Tanakh, would that the world pay attention to the Shema initially addressed to Israel but is intended for all the nations:
“Hear intelligently with attention and interest, comprehend and obey. . . the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”

12/04 “grandeur prayers” – REVISITED: Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity – Abraham Joshua Heschel
12/04 “judaism wrathful god” – Judaism does not have a “wrathful god” — that is a misconception of the God of Israel arising from a wrong reading or a lack of understanding of TNK, the Hebrew Scriptures. The ‘God of the Old Testament’ is often compared to the ‘God of the New Testament’ namely, Jesus Christ . . . well, are they two different Gods or is God the same, never changes? Did He morph from One to a Trinitarian God, one of three persons became human, therefore mortal, but resurrects, and is said to deserve all worship and glory while the other two persons fade into the background . . . and yet they are supposedly One?
The self description of the God of Israel: “YHWH, YHWH, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness”; and yet some people dare call Him ‘vengeful, wrathful, angry God”? We owe it to Him to attempt to understand Him and His acts in history as recorded in the TNK. Here’s a helpful post: Is our God a “jealous, wrathful, and a vengeful God”?
