16) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Exodus 32, Moses goes to Mount Sinai to receive the Laws from God!
  • The Israelites use the absence of Moses and tell Aaron to make a god for them because Moses is not there!
  • Thus Aaron makes a golden calf!
  • Then the Israelites say it is the God who has freed them from Egypt!
  • All at once CORRUPTION is among the Israelites!
  • In fact, it is in their heart!
  • As it is in man’s heart!
  • And God tells Moses about the Israelites as an obstinate people!
  • And he speaks about his BURNING ANGER!
  • It is far more than a hot anger!
  • It is the maximum degree!
  • It can’t be higher!
  • And he wants to exterminate Israel!
  • He doesn’t do it because of Moses!
  • So when Moses goes down Mount Sinai he destroyed the golden calf!
  • And Moses tells the Levites to kill Israelites and 3,000 people are killed!
  • Then Moses goes back to Mount Sinai!
  • And God tells Moses that he will punish the Israelites!
  • Then God begins plaguing the Israelites!

17) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Exodus 33, God says he is going to send an angel ahead of them!
  • But he will not go in their mist!
  • Because they are obstinate people!
  • And he might exterminate them on the way!
  • And he can do it at any time!
  • Apparently many don’t know that!
  • But it is clear as crystal!
  • God tells Moses no man can see me and live!
  • APPARENTLY NO ONE KNOWS THAT!
  • BUT IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE!
  • But of course, not in man’s tradition!

18) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Exodus 34, God tells Moses that Israel must not make a covenant with any of the people of the land!
  • Because it will be a snare among them!
  • But they won’t listen to God!
  • And they will get into trouble all the time!
  • When we don’t listen to God, we will get into trouble!
  • It is pure logic!
  • Nothing special!
  • Simple logic!
  • And he warns them again and again!
  • But they never listen!
  • Thus it is normal to pay the consequences of our acts!

19) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Leviticus Chapter 10, Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihua offer an unauthorized fire before God!
  • And a fire consumes them!
  • So they die before God!
  • People should remember that!
  • You can’t play with God forever!
  • He is patient but on time those who act against him pay the price!
  • It is only the law of God!
  • There is no surprise!
  • Everything is written!
  • Thus people can’t say they didn’t know!

20) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Numbers chapter 11, the people complain bitterly before Yah·weh because of the manna!
  • And a fire begins to blaze against them!
  • Then the people begin to cry out to Moses!
  • So Moses makes supplication to Yah·weh!
  • And the fire dies out!
  • Here we can say Hot Anger!
  • But the problem with the Israelites is that they complain all the time for nothing!
  • Thus we may say Cold and Hot Anger at the same time!

21) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Numbers 11, we are told that:
  • Moses is fed up with the Israelites!
  • Yah·weh is fed up with the Israelites!
  • And he gives them meat for a whole month so they get fep up with it!
  • But Yah·weh is so angry with the Israelites that he strikes them with a very great slaughter!
  • What a difference with Abraham!
  • It is incredible to think that he waited for so long before striking the Israelites!
  • But it is the same with mankind!
  • Too arrogant?
  • The price to pay will be adapted to the degree of arrogance!

  • As if it was not enough with the Israelites, Miriam and Aaron are jealous of Moses!
  • Here we are told that Moses was the most humble man on the earth!
  • And Yah.weh is angry at Miriam and Aaron!
  • And all at once Miriam gets leprosy!
  • And Aaron apologizes for their sin against Moses!

  • So Yah.weh tells Moses that Miriam must be quarantined for seven days outside the camp to be humiliated for what she has done!

  • And they will be able to get into the promised land only when all their parents die!

  • And the ten spies who spoke badly will be struck down and die before Yah.weh!
  • It is also a way to learn a lesson!
  • When you have to pay a price, then you are supposed to understand better!
  • But after the death of Joshua, the Israelites will start again to act against Yah.weh as usual!

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:


  • Point of time (a specific day)
  • time period of a whole or half a day:
    • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
    • Sunrise to sunset
    • Sunset to next sunset
  • General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
  • A year "lived a lot of days"
  • Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"
__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

  • In Numbers 14, the Israelites oppose Yah.weh twice!
  • First, they refuse to go to the promised land!
  • Second, they want to go to the promised land after Yah.weh said no!
  • Third, they don’t listen to Moses when he tells them not to go because they are going to be defeated!
  • And they get defeated!
  • It shows how rebellious the Israelites are!
  • But it only leads to more trouble!
  • And so is mankind!
  • And it is not going to change!

27) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Numbers 15:30,31, someone who does something deliberately against Yah.weh, he must be cut off from among his people because he is blaspheming!
  • Because he has despised Yah.weh’s word and broken his commandment!
  • His own error is upon him!
  • Definitely no anger!
  • Just Yah.weh’s Law!
  • Simple and easy to understand!
  • Now people may accept it or not!
  • When Yah.weh’s kingdom comes, it will be the same!
  • It won’t be possible to go against it!
  • Only once!
  • So everybody will be able to make up his mind!

Someone says :

I don't understand what you're trying to say when you write "If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!"

a) How do today's people think? That is an impossibly broad generalization.

b) Since even Biblical scholars disagree about the product of the art/science of translation, how does one decide (in your opinion) on the "best" translation.

Personally I prefer the NIV and the NRSVue translations. To me, they to have the best combination of converting the ancient languages' words and meaning into modern English with clarity of understanding..

- My answer :

- There is no better translation!

- The best one will always be the original!

- Since the majority of translations have taken away God's name, the majority are bad translations!

- In fact, they should not be called translations at all!

- Today's people are influenced by their languages written and spoken languages, they also think and act differently!

- In fact, they do everything differently!

- Just take the examples of today's people: they have different cultures and they seem to live at different times!

- A good example is the word yom in Hebrew, it is usually translated by day in English!

- But in hebrew it has different meaning depending on the context because the language used in the Bible is limited!

- The only possibility was to use the same word for different uses!

Someone says :

The children of Ham, Shem and Japheth married many of their very own sisters.

Incest was God
’s original plan of marriage but eventually the genetic code became corrupted and then that plan was modified to a distant relative marriage system. But for Polygamy / Plural wives marriage, this was never modified or changed by God, Only that a man is forbidden from marrying multiple women who are closely related, not from marrying multiple women - the commandment that stipulates that a man is forbidden to marry multiple wives is what simply is missing from the entire Bible - even stipulating that if a man is GOING TO HAVE multiple wives then he cannot marry closely related women, not stipulating that he is forbidden from polygamy.

But we are supposed to pretend and wish and imagine and play the narrative that God frowns and winks and scowls and - flashes hints and blurry cue cards and vague suggestions and fuzzy negative _ tip – offs _ about it - this is what t
he Translators impose and inject into the translations as they completely modify and change the passages from what the original says.

The original Hebrew word was - לצרר - tsârar - not generally used in a negative situation as ””
Lev 18:18 - The original manuscripts “”


ואשׁה And a woman - אל־אחתה with her sister - לא do not - תקח take -
לצרר
tsârar them ( sisters ) gathered / them bundled( in marriage )


Other related forms of the “”” same exactly word “ that are not third personal pronouns are…..

Hos 4:19 The wind hath “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ her up in her wings,

Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven……….. who hath “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

1Sa 25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God;

Jos 9:4 They did work …………… and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ up;

This Hebrew word also has many meaning in how the word is applied to the situation, it can be both very good or very bad…….. - it means to gather or bind or crowd together, - this word also can be used in a VERY, VERY negative situation.

Another related word
2Ki 5:23 And Naaman ........ urged him, and “ צוּר tsûr gathered / bundled bound two talents of silver in two bags.​


Another related word is אָסַר - bonding / gathering / tying together - 'âsar - aw-sar'
Meaning ; to yoke or hitch; by analogy to fasten join - bind, fast, gird, harness, hold, keep, make ready, order, prepare, set in array, tie. - this word also can be used in a VERY, VERY negative situation

Num 30:11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ wherewith she
אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul shall stand.

Num 30:8 ……….. he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

Num 30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul shall stand.

Num 30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul;

Exo 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph,

We notice here in the Translation that even here in - 1Sa 1: 6 - 7 the passage is again mistranslated Elkanah ...... had two wives - named Hannah and Peninnah: Peninnah had multiple children, - but Hannah had no children. the LORD had shut up her womb.

:6....... And HER adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
:7....... so SHE { HER adversary } provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
The translators again, alter, modify and change and manipulate and add a narrative to this passage.

This Hebrew
word צרתה = anguishes, - afflictions - distressis used “ 73 total times- in the entire Manuscripts, and one single time - and one time only - the translators change this word into “ ADVERSARY “ the 72 other times they translate this word always as “ anguishes, troubled, afflictions, and distress. “

They needed his polygamous wife Hannah to have a horrible evil enemy and tormenter, another second wife who was her “ Her ADVERSARY,, Her Opponent,, Her Challenger,, Her Antagonist,, Her Rival and Her Persecutor “


:6 וכעסתה Her anger - צרתה = anguishes, - afflictions - distress-
גם־כעס
also grief / sorrow - בעבור because - הרעמה she troubled -
כי־סגר
since that shut - יהוה Jehovah / Yahwhea -
בעד for - רחמה׃
her whomb

6....... And HER adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb

:7 וכן And so - יעשׂה she did - שׁנה year - בשׁנה by year - מדי - too much -
עלתה
rise up - בבית in the house - יהוה of Jehovah / Yahwhea
- כן
so - תכעסנה grievious sorrow - ותבכה weeping -
ולא
and not - תאכל׃ did eat

:7....... so SHE { HER adversary } provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Again, the Translators invent and insert an imaginary boogie - woman in the background who is the other wife of the husband by altering and completely changing the passage. This is supposed to be based on the pretext and alleged reason of the reader suspecting that Hannah was being antagonized, tormented and persecuted because another woman / wife and her children { HER adversary } had received more possessions and property than Hannah had received. Hannah is filled with jealousy, hatred, anger, rage and bitterness / resentment : that she is enraged and infuriated to the point of starving herself to death because her husband is an evil polygamous who only cares about his other wife

Notice

1Sa 1:4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
But we find that her husband loved her and has a loving relationship and has sexual intercourse with her after the prophecy and she conceives shortly thereafter

1Sa 1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. :27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of.

We find that in order for Hannah to become God’s special lightening rod or Gods extension cord she did not have to demand that polygamy was evil and wicked and demand that her polygamous husband leave his other wife, Hannah goes home continuing to live a happy live in the Lord - a life of a polygamous Godly wife who bears a son who is the Prophet Of God Samuel, born out of polygamous Godly marriage.

- Then you get Genesis chapter 5 and the book of Adam’s history !

- And guess what : nowhere we are told about men having different wives !

- We are only told about Lamech !

- It doesn’t mean men had only one wife !

- But it cleary shows that Yah.weh’s commandment is one man and one woman !
