He was an evil man, the first king in history, and the first man to try to build a G-dless "one world order." He threw Abraham into a fiery pit when the latter stood up to his idolatry and later initiated the "War of the Kings" in order to get back at Abraham further (he is referred to as "'Amrafel" in Genesis 14). In short he was one of the wickedest men in history and the prototype of all who followed him.
We didn’t get too far into the reading,as the Reform don’t usually read the Torah on the other days of the week. I’ll have to do that. I have a question for you.I know who the Levites and the Cohens are,but who are the others you mention for the Torah readings?
It simply means "third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, concluder" (maftir) and "conclusion" (haftarah).
Thank you.I thought that you were referring to certain Jews.
PS:clearly I have a lot to learn. I need to read Torah more often.
