Orpah!? That’s funny!
Nothing like that is said of Orpah in the bible. Naomi and Ruth both loved her. Read it in Ruth 1 and see that I’m right.
I’m guessing that Orpah’s parents never read the Talmud, because most of what you said isn’t in the Bible.
just for clarification, I do not recall anything in the Bible that Oprah was anti-Semitic (she merely went home is all that I can remember). do correct me if I am in error. thanks
Yeah; I heard her mother was going for “Orpah”, a Bible name, but there was a mis-spelling or something. “Laquisha” is much easier; should-a just gone with that.
Orpah was a Moabite, not a Philisitine.
No other mention of Orpah is found in the Bible..........
I remember hearing Oprah say - many, many years ago on the Johnny Carson show - that she was named “Orpah”, but whoever filled out her birth certificate spelled it wrong, so she was legally “Oprah”.
Ruth and Orpah were sisters, or at least sisters-in-law. Ruth was David's great-grandmother. In order for adult David's General Abishai to kill Orpah, she would have had to have been ancient................
I heard she was named Opera but the pronunciation was wrong.
Where did you get your information? Further, no son of Orpah’s would be a contemporary of David, as there were several generations between Ruth and David (I’d have to check, but I think it was four generations between). Please cite your sources. This doesn’t add up.
Jeez, she came that close to having her company named Hapro Productions. It doesn’t have the same “ring” as Harpo Productions.
Everything after Oprah turning back is not in Scripture. Even the nature of Oprah’s departure is miscast: she had to be persuaded to leave.
There is also Goliath was from Gath, and not from any place in Moab. Gath is to the West of Bethlehem, Moab is generally to the south west. The Moabites and Philistines are, moreover, two entirely separate peoples.
I hear with Oprah it is women, though I don't have any numbers obviously. But someone probably does.
Sorry you are getting a bunch of flak. What has become evident, is that ancient stories/allegories describing events of the past have become literal realities in the present.
Thus it's all flipped over. People mock these accounts as myths, not realizing that the chronology is turned over. If the mythology of the past becomes the reality of today, then it's not really a myth.
Examples are the secret code of the Redemption (how it is a secret code if everyone knows the code) and that Serach is the one who confirms the identity of the Redeemer. Then there's the Ohr Rishon, it goes on.
Then what will people say about the traditions?
God takes the traditions and makes reality happen.
"And ye shall know that I am the Lord."
Gotta marvel.
Thanks for posting!
You've got to keep in mind that not one in a thousand non-Jews knows anything about the Talmud, and not one in a million non-Jews considers it either historically accurate or religiously authoritative.
