...Ephraim and Manasseh” as “Joseph and Manasseh”...<br /><br />According to the Horite marriage and ascendancy pattern, one of Joseph's sons would have ascended to his throne (Joseph) and the other son would have ruled in the territory of his maternal grandfather. The latter would have applied to Asenath's first born son, as she appears to have been Joseph's cousin wife. Ephraim and Manasseh were likely the first born sons of different wives. Alice C.

He sees worship in the context of the pattern of Exodus, something too detailed to go into here. Here's the quote: "There is a counterfeit exodus in Judges 17-18. There we read of the erection of a counterfeit Tabernacle, and the ordaining of a counterfeit priest. Subsequently we have a counterfeit journey by apostate Danites who had rejected the land God had given them. This issues in a counterfeit conquest and the full establishment of a counterfeit sanctuary in Dan." Alice, I think this ties into much of what you have written about the one Priesthood, and women's ordination: rejecting the lot God has assigned, and finding another (like seeking ordination if you are not called) is tantamount to apostasy. Dan did exactly what you warn against.Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348004504241440566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204718322638463179.post-28201631934385656272009-07-02T09:29:30.478-06:002009-07-02T09:29:30.478-06:00Done!
The connection of Dan and Bethel with Jer...Done! <br /><br />The connection of Dan and Bethel with Jeroboam's golden calf idols is provocative. First and Second Chronicles makes it clear that this is not the worship of the Fathers, and yet we find Aaron consenting to the construction of a golden calf in Exodus. What interests me is that Moses had 2 brothers who were priests: Korah (his half-brother) and Aaron (his full blood brother. Korah contested Moses' authority to rule over the people, but he never consented to idolatry, as did Aaron. Further, Korah's descendents are praised by the Chronicler in 1 Chronicles 26. Here the Chronicler classifies them with the gatekeepers of Obed-Edom. Obed-Edom is a connection to Ruth, who named her first-born son Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of King David. This picks up the Messianic thread and points us back to the Fathers' expectation of the Son of God who was coming into the world. The geneological information in Genesis presents Abraham and his father and grandfather as Horites. The Horites apparently lived in expectation of Horus appearing in the flesh and Horus was called the 'Son of God', which is to say they believed that God would send HIS Son into the world through their bloodline. No wonder the ruler-priests of Abraham's people were so careful to marry within their bloodlines.<br /><br />Interesting paper, Timothy!Alice C.

For example, Iscariot in the Hebrew is so critical to the argument, so you can just change that to English... otherwise, you can take it out.<br />Thanks!Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348004504241440566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204718322638463179.post-82735465232456767782009-07-01T19:48:37.156-06:002009-07-01T19:48:37.156-06:00Timothy, do you want me to remove these from the N...Timothy, do you want me to remove these from the NOTES since they didn't format well?Alice C.
