No one's got a gun to your head to read it, or to comment on it, so STFU.
Sorry I stand corrected. Not pharaoh`s daughter.- “Arabic oral tradition’ has been credited many times to name-place sites discoveries mentioned in the Bible, as well as making sense of obscure and missing info as unfinished data in the OT Bible to make the sections make any sense. I have had many discussions with Arabic scholars concerning some of the characters and places in the OT.
Their explanations tend to make sense where no sense of context appears in the OT.
For example
Gen…8 “And Cush was the father of Nimrod,
who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth 9
“He was a mighty hunter before the LORD;
so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
Nimrod is a mighty warrior and a mighty hunter-
This context doesn`t make any sense.
A warrior kills men
\ A Hunter kills animals.
The stream of description doesn`t make any sense unless one discusses it with an Arabic scholar. Then it makes perfect sense. Can you figure it out here?
Question A. Why is “mighty warrior” related to earth
and “mighty hunter” related to God?
The Arabs have known the answer to that question for thousands of years. What is your answer to the question A.?
re; “No one’s got a gun to your head to read it, or to comment on it, so STFU.”
does not give explanation as to why this particular well was such a big thing!!
Just say, I dunno, if you have no explanation, instead of the worse, ‘shut up’. At least, admitting to not knowing, is better than demonstrating you don’t understand the subject.
Just like telling the teacher in math class when explaining a formula, “that’s dumb!”
