...................................................................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. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible 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.

Relatively Speaking


And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.-Genesis 22:20-24***Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), Nahor, Haran, and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah. Haran was the father of Milcah and Lot. Abraham married Sarah, his half sister. Nahor married Milcah, his niece, the daughter of Haran. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. When Abraham was 100 years old, 90-year-old Sarah gave birth to Isaac, their only child. Bethuel the Syrian (Aramean) was 1 of at least 8 children born to Nahor and Milcah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, Bethuel's daughter. When Isaac was 60 years old, Rebekah gave birth to their only children, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel). When Esau was 40 years old, he married Judith and Bashemath, daughters of idolaters. Sometime thereafter, Esau married Aholibamah, the daughter of an idolater, and Mahalath (Bashemath), Ishmael's daughter. Meanwhile, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and Rachel. Approximately 1,900 years after Rachel died and was buried near Bethlehem (Ephrath), 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 in Bethlehem, into the tribe of Judah, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
