I have prayerfully considered other websites for posting this series, but so far the Spirit has stayed mum.
Well God bless you for following after the life and peace of the Spirit.
May we, like Jesus, learn to do not our own thing, but God’s thing while we’re here no earth. Great reward (and opposition) here on earth and great reward in Heaven. God bless.
Very well-expressed. Thanks.
Good Morning Dan, and happy day to all.
An epic story with eternal implications.
Tissot’s and Dore’s work probably come closest to how these events really appeared.
Each one is appreciated Dan; Thank You.
Tissot and Doré can usually be relied on to do exactly that.
And there you have it. The world's first Purim costume.
This stuff always starts out small, but then...
Purim codes everywhere. A man saying "I love you" [אני אוהב אותך] = 502
Rebekah was way ahead of her time in dressing up Jacob in Esau's Sunday Best.
Psalm 133
1. A Song of Maalot of David; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity:
2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that runs down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments:
3. Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore:
Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion...
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound just watch ol' Bandit run...
I once heard a representative of the Jewish community being interviewed on the radio on the topic of Purim. "What is the significance of the Purim holiday?" asked the radio host.
Explained the Jew: "Just as the Irish have a springtime drinking holiday called St. Patrick's Day, so too the Sages instituted Judaism's own springtime drinking holiday called Purim."
Absurd.
Now for the Real Explanation
To begin, we first need to define the concept of "laughter."
On October 16, 1946, Julius Streicher, one of ten Nazi members sentenced to hanging for the crimes against humanity after the Nuremberg trials, was heard to sarcastically remark "Purimfest 1946" as he ascended the scaffold.[18] According to Rabbi Mordechai Neugroschel, there is a code in the Book of Esther which lies in the names of Haman's 10 sons (Esther 9:7-9).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_9#Links_to_modern_history
"Purimfest 1946" *was* Saint Patrick's Day.
Who's laughing now? 🤣
When added up, the letters in Hebrew for “blessed be Mordechai” and “cursed be Haman” equal 502.
Speaking of brothers stealing each other's drinking songs:
I scandalized my brother
While admittin' that he sang some pretty songs
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
And Lord, I knew that that was wrong.
>>>If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song.Don't Cuss the Fiddle ~ Kris Kristofferson - from the Who's to Bless and Who's to Blame album
"The national instrument of the Jewish People."
Larry remarked over on the song link,
"Wow. Complete rip off of Good Hearted Woman. Or is it vice versa?"

Meaning of the name Rebekah
BDB Theological Dictionary does not translate Rebekah. Both Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names and the NOBSE Study Bible Name List render the name: A Rope With A Noose. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names quotes Gesenius who suggests that this name denotes a woman who ensnares a man with her beauty. But although the Biblical occurrence of this name has to do with much, not with the snaring of a man by beauty. The name denotes merely a tying up of cattle, both for their own protection, the establishment of their home and to keep them from wandering off. Within this name lies the notion that individuals are placed together by something higher or smarter than they.The name Rebekah literally means Tied Up but more specific (and more friendly) is Secured.
Within this name lies the notion that individuals are placed together by something higher or smarter than they:
"The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, whose principal occupation is making and cobbling shoes, and who enjoys practical jokes."
REBEKAH -- ISAAC'S WIFE
To begin, we first need to define the concept of "laughter." Laughter occurs when the unexpected happens. A toddler puts on her father's big shoes -- and we laugh. The president forgets his lines in a speech -- and we laugh. When two contrary elements are juxtaposed, the sudden surprise catches us off guard. And the more unexpected it is, the funnier it is.
individuals are placed together by something higher or smarter than they
My wife and I knew positively from the outset that God had matched us--indeed, part of our first date was our discussion that we would never divorce. Forty-six years ago.
Isaac's soul must be joyful that it all works out in the end.
Seems to me like Esau actually got the higher blessing, just that takes a while for things to click, I suppose.
From Jacob's blessing:
Genesis 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Compared to what Esau got:
Genesis 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven **from above**;

if I could only take one home, it would be #11
But then I wonder about the white square on one of the camel’s necks....Would it be a type of a brand?
Looks to me like Cabanel was trying to indicate a natural white spot.
