...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Through with You

When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails: And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.-Deuteronomy 21:10-14***Moses was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leahs 3rd born son Levi. Before 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried, he spoke to his fellow Israelites about their history, and ancestors and the relationship between the Lord God and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Moses explained the commandments, judgments, statutes, and laws that the Lord God gave for the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Moses described the blessings that would occur if the Israelites obeyed the voice of the Lord God and obeyed all of the commandments, and the curses that would occur if the Israelites did not obey the voice of the Lord God and did not obey the commandments. Moses  reminded the Israelites that they were not to make any covenants with the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites, or Girgashites, the idol worshiping inhabitants living throughout the Promised Land. Moses reminded the Israelites that they were not to be merciful towards those groups nor allow them to live. Moreover, Moses told the Israelites that whenever they warred with other nations farther away, the Israelites were to offer a treaty of peace. If the inhabitants refused, the men were to be killed and everything and everyone else captured. If the offer of peace was accepted, all of the inhabitants were to become slaves of the Israelites, and a captured woman could become the wife of an Israelite. There is no genealogical record of the Perizzites in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible. Noah the ark builder and Noah's son Shem are revealed to be the ancestors of the Israelites. Noah's son Ham is revealed to be an ancestor of the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Over 1,400 years after Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7;20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
