Note "Josephus states that the Tabernacle was brought into the First Temple [Ref-0026, pp. 8. 101, 106], and that the effect of the spread-winged cherubim was to make it appear as a tent (8. 103)." Ref-0142, p. 193.

Note "While some see [the Tent of Meeting] as a provisional structure that was replaced by the Tabernacle, others see it as one and the same, for both terms are used interchangeably after the Tabernacle's completion (Lev. 1:3; 12:6; 14:23; 15:14; Numbers 11:26; 12:4; Deuteronomony 31:14-15). It is preferable to see 'the Tend of Meeting' and 'the Tabernacle' as two parts of a single structure--the outer 'tent' (Hebrew, 'ohel) and the innder 'Tabernacle' (Hebrew, mishkan). For this reason 2S. 7:6 notes that God moved about 'in a tent, even in a tabernacle.'" Ref-0146, p. 62.

Tacitus - Christians :

Note "The greatest Roman historian in the days of the Empire was Cornelius Tacitus, who was born between A.D. 52 and 54 and wrote the history of Rome under the emperors... he described the great fire which ravaged Rome in A.D. 64 and told how it was widely rumored that Nero had instigated the fire, in order to gain greater glory for himself by rebuilding the city... 'Therefore to scotch the rumor, Nero substituted as culprits, and punished with the utmost refinements of cruelty, a class of men, loathed for their vices, whom the crowd styled Christians. Christus, from whom they got their name, had been executed by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilate when Tiberius was emperor; and the pernicious superstition was checked for a short time, only to break out afresh, not only in Judeae, the home of the plague, but in Rome itself...'" cited in Ref-0122, p. 268.

Talmud : Talmud - Zec._12:10 See note

Note "to learn," "to study". Collection of rabbinical laws, law decisions, and comments on the laws of Moses. Man-made additions to the Mosaic Law, product of the Pharisees. Made up of the Mishnah and Gemara. Spans 70 to 100 volumes. "When the Talmud is spoken of without any qualification the reference is to the Babylonian Talmud; the Palestinian Talmud is only about a fourth the volume of the Babylonian, which contains about two million five hundred thousand words." Ref-0006, p. 128. "Between A.D. 100 and 500, the Talmud (instruction, teaching) grew up as a body of Hebrew civil and canonical law based on the Torah. The Talmud basically represents the opinions and decisions of Jewish teachers from about 300 B.C. to A.D. 500, and it consists of two main divisions: the Mishnah" and the Gemara. Ref-0075, p. 502.


Talmud - Zec._12:10 : Zec. 12:10

Note Some rabbis took this passage as messianic, Talmud in Succah 52a: "One opinion is that they mourn for Messiah Ben Joseph who is killed, and another explanation is that they mourn for the slaying of the evil inclination. It is well according to him who explains that the cause is the slaying of the Messiah since that well agrees with this verse. If it referes to the slaying of the evil inclination, it must be asked, is this an occasion for mourning? Is it not rather an occasion for rejoicing? Why then should they weep?" Ref-0011, p. 72.

Targum - Jerusalem :

Note "The Jerusalem Targum also appeared at about 700, but has survived in fragments only. None of these Targums is important to the textual critic, but they are all rather significant to the study of hermeneutics [interpretation], as they indicate the manner in which Scripture was interpreted by rabbinical scholars." Ref-0075, p. 502.


Targum - meaning :

Note "the Aramaic word for 'translation'" Ref-0152, p. 34.


Targum - quoted in NT : Deu. 32:35; Rom. 12:19; Heb. 10:30

Note "...both Paul and the writer to the Hebrews quote Deuteronomy 32:35 in the form 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay'... This follows neither the familiar Hebrew wording ('Vengeance is mine, and recompense') nor the Septuagint ('In the day of vengeance I will repay'), but it agrees exactly with the targumic version." Ref-0073, p. 285.


Targums : Targums - Aramaic quoted See note
Targums - Aramaic quoted : Deu. 32:35; Ps. 68:18; Isa. 6:10; Mark 4:12; Rom. 12:19; Eph. 4:8; Heb. 10:30

Note "The statement 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay' (from Deu. 32:35), is quoted in Romans 12:19 and Hebrews 10:30 in a form corresponding neither to the Hebrew text nor to the Septuagint, but to the Aramaci Targums on the Pentateuch. That renderings or paraphrases known to us only from the Targums were found also in Greek versions of the Old Testament in the first century AD is suggested also by such expressions as 'lest they should...be forgiven' (Mark 4:12) in a quotation from Isaiah 6:10 where the Hebrew and Septuagint read 'lest they...be healed'; and 'he gave gifts to men' (Eph. 4:8) in a quotation from Psalm 68:18 (LXX 67:19) where the Hebrew and Septuagint read '...received gifts among men'. (In Deu. 32:35; Isa. 6:10 and Ps. 68:18 the Peshitta (the Syriac version of the Old Testament) agrees with the targumic construction.)" Ref-0073, pp. 53-54

This statement reflects the contrast with the Second Temple, which the Mishnah records had not been anointed (Yoma 21b; compare Tosefta Sotah 13:2). The 'anointing' refers to the consecration of the chamber that housed the Ark of the Covenant, whose presence sanctified the Temple by virtue of the Shekinah (the divine presence). Since neither the Ark nor the Shekinah were present in the Second Temple (Yoma 21b) rabbinic tradition held that the Ark will be revealed in the future by the Messianic king, who will also build the Third Temple (Zechariah 6:12-13)."

Note "The medieval rabbi Rashi declared that the Temple would descend directly from heaven after the coming of the Messiah. Maimonides also argued that only the Messiah could build the Temple. The prayer at the afternoon service on Tisha B'Av reflects this thinking: 'For You, O Lord, did consume it [the Temple] with fire, and with fire You will in the future restore it." Ref-0144, p. 173


temple - built in 46 years : John 2:20

Note "Several grammars list this [oijkodomhqh"] as a constative aorist, to the effect that it should be translated, 'this temple was built in forty-six years.' The usual assumption is that nao" refers to the temple precincts. Josephus indiciates that the temple precincts were not completed until Albinus' procuratorship (c. 62-64 CE), in which case the precincts were still in the process of being built when the statement in John 2:20 was made. The idea would then be, 'This temple has been in the process of being built for the last forty-six years.' There are several problems with this, however, including the meaning of nao" in John, the use of the dative's temporal referent, and the use of the aorist. The force of the aorist may have some impact on the date of the crucifixion. First, the NT normally makes a distinction between iJeron and the nao": The iJeron refers to the temple precincts (including the courts) while the nao" refers to the holy place or sanctuary proper. If that distinction obtains in John 2:20, then the aorist verb oiJkodomhqh would refer only to the sanctuary. Notably, the sanctuary was completed in c. 18-17 BCE. Forty-six years later would be 29-30 CE. Second, the dative (tesserakonta kai ex etesin most naturally refers to a point in time, rather than an extent of time. This would fit will with a completion date of the sanctuary ('was built [at a point in time] forty-six years ago'). Third, there is some difficulty with taking the aorist to speak of an action that was still in process ('this temple has been [in the process of being] built for the past forty-six years'). The imperfect would be more natural, but not at all required. These strands of evidence suggest that the aorist is more naturally taken as consummative. If so, and if this periscope occurred in the first year of Jesus' ministry (as its location in John 2 suggests), then Jesus was probably crucified three years later, in 33 CE. Ref-0129, pp. 560-561. "Herod began rebuilding the Temple in 19 B.C., and the work was dedicated ten years later, although detail work continued on it for the next 75 years." Ref-0144, p. 65.

Note "...if such a violent confrontation took place on the Temple Mount, it would have been considered not just a religious demonstration but a political threat, and would have brought an immediate arrest by either the Temple guards or the Roman authorities. Since this did not occur, the critics insist that this incident must be a later redactional insertion. However, this objection can be put to rest in light of the archaeological evidence... under the direction of Benjamin Mazar and Meir Ben-Dov (1968-1977). Their work has confirmed certain details in the Gospel account, such as the presence of large animals in the halls of the money changers (see John 2:14). They also have shown that a smaller Temple market was isolated inside the Royal Stoa (Hebrew, Chanuyot) and did not spread out over into the Court of the Gentiles... This location also is thought to approximate the position of the prophet Jeremiah 'in the gate of the Lord's house' (Jer. 7:2) when, during the First Temple times, he gave his 'Temple sermon' (Jer. 7:1-8:3)."

temple - desecration vs. defilement : Ezra 3:2-13

Note "Foreigners who enter the Temple generally bring about only desecration, not defilement, and for this reason the Second Temple could be rebuilt after its desecration and destruction by the Babylonians without requiring a purification ceremony (Ezra 3:2-13). However, the Second Temple later required purification (channukah, 'dedication') because an apostate Israelite priest sacrificed an unclean animal (a sow) on the altar (under orders of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes) and thereby brought defilement. In addition, the presence of idols or idolatrous practices is an 'abomination' (shiqqutz that brings both desecration and defilement to the Temple and the Land, which has harbored such abominations."

Note "Would not this seem a great incongruity if they understood that this Temple was to be replaced by themselves as the church?" Ref-0146, p. 272. "...the early Jewish church--before the destruction of the Temple--was indwelt, sealed, and filled with the Spirit and yet continued to worshp in the Temple! This would imply that the Third Temple could be built during the church age and even sacrifices commenced without there being a necessary conflict with 'spiritual worship.'" Ref-0146, p. 501.


temple - divine disfavor before destruction : Zec. 11:1

Note "Josephus (Jewish Wars 6:293-96) noted that at the time of the Passover c. A.D. 66, as the Roman siege was about to begin, the huge Nicanor gate that secured the inner court of the Eastern (Shushan) Gate was observed at the sixth hour to open of its own accord. This event was ulti8mately interpreted negatively as evidence of divine displeasure...This interpretation is also given in a story told in the Babylonian Talmud (Yoma 39b), along with another concerning the Temple service, which reflected the problem of divine favor: Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot 'for the Lord' did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored string [suspended in the Temple to show the acceptance of the pascal sacrifice] become white; nor did the western-most light shine; and the doors of the Temple would open by themselves, until R. Yohanon b. Zakkai rebuked them, saying: 'Temple, Temple why will you yourself be the alarmer? I know about you that you will be destroyed, for Zechariah b. Ido has already prophesied concerning you: 'Open your door, O' Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars'(Zec. 11:1)" Ref-0146, p. 82.

Note "... to the objection that a renewal of 'expiatory' animal sacrifices is unthinkable and would deny the complete efficacy of our Lord's atoning death, the reply is very simple: no animal sacrifice in the BIble has ever had an expiatory efficacy [Heb. 10:4]... These sacrifices were simply a 'remembrance' of the sins committed, and pointed forward to the one sacrifice which would take them away. [See the very able monograph, 'The Question of Millennial Sacrifices,' by John L. Mitchell, Bibliotheca Sacra, issues of July and October, 1953.]" Ref-0183, p. 250. "... it must not be forgotten that Ezekiel is not alone in this affirmation of a revival of a temple ritual in the coming Kingdom. As Reeve says, 'The great prophets all speak of a sacrificial system in full vogue in the Messianic Age.' [J. J. Reeve, 'Sacrifice,' I. S. B. E., op cit., Vol. IV, p. 2651.]" Ref-0183, p. 251.


temple - sacrifice without : Ezra 3:6; Hos. 3:4-5

Note "Just as sacrifices were attempted after the destruction of the Second Temple, so sacrifices were attempted after the destruction of the Second Temple. This is documented in the book Torat Habayit ('Laws of the Temple'), which records in the name of the Kaftor VaPherach that more than 1,100 years after the destruction of the Second Temple Jews tried to offer sacrifices, even though at that time the controle of the Temple Mount was in the hands of the Gentiles and there was no Temple there." Ref-0146, pp. 391-392.


temple - Samaritan : 2K. 17:24-30; Ne. 31:23-31; John 4:20

Note Josephus records the Samaritan temple [on Mt. Gerizim] was destroyed by John Hyrcanus in 113 BC. Ruins are located beneath floor of 5th century Byzantine church of Mary Theotokos, which have been uncovered in excavations in 1920s. Menachem, a priest in the Jerusalem Temple, fell in love with Nikaso, the daughter of a Samaritan leader Sanballat. Menachem was told to choose between Nikaso and his priesthood. He chose Nikaso and Sanballat built his new son-in-law a rival temple on Mount Gerizim and made him high priest. Ref-0025, p. 188. "... in about 432 B.C. the daughter of Sanballat was married to the grandson of the high priest Eliashib. This resulted in the expulsion of the couple, and provided the historical incident for the break between the Jews and the Samaritans (cf. Ne. 13:23-31). During the conflict the Jews overstressed the foreign element in the ancestry of the Samaritans, and called them Cutheans after the name of the Middle-Babylonia city, Cuthah, from whence the Assyrians imported the foreign element into Samaria (cf. 2 Kings 17:24, 30)... At that time a copy of the Torah may have been taken to Samaria and placed in the temple build on Mount Gerizim at Shechem (Nablus), where the rival worship and priesthood were established. ...the Samaritan Pentateuch has illustrated the Jewish-Samaritan hostility quite effectively, as it emphasizes the importance of Mount Gerizim instead of Jerusalem, and inserts additional material into the text, for example after Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21." Ref-0075, pp. 498-500. "It [the Samaritan Penteteuch] also contains biased sectarian insertions, designed to show that Jehovah chose Mt. Gerizim rather than Zion, and Shechem rather than Jerusalem as His holy city." Ref-0001, p. 48.

Note "The king's treasury even helped to finance the cost of the rebuilding of the ruined Temple, which was finally completed on the 3rd of Adar (February-March) 515 B.C.E." Ref-0152, p. 33.


temple - second - sacrifice began :

Note "Temple sacrifices were renewed on the first day of the month of Tishri 538 B.C.E. at a festival known as the Feast of Trumpets... Seven months later, work began on building the Second Temple itself, using cedarwood ordered from Lebanon." Ref-0152, p. 32.

Note "in the time of the Second Temple [the Jews] had erected a boundary fence, the Soreg, between the Courge of the Gentiles and the Court of the Israelites, with a warning inscription promising death to any non-Israelite who passed beyond it into the Court of the Israelites. The New Testament (Acts 21:27-28) records a Jewish crowd's violent reaction to Paul when they mistakenly believed that he had taken a Gentile proselyte (Titus) into the Temple to offer sacrifice."

Note "Therefore, when he [the antichrist] receives the kingdom, he orders the temple of God to be rebuilt for himself, which is in Jerusalem; who after coming into it, he shall sit as God..." Ephraim the Syrian, A.D. 373. Ref-0031, p. 113. Regarding Preterist assertion that this is Herod's temple, to be destroyed in 70 A.D., there are at least two problems with this view. Firstly, most scholars date the book of Revelation after that destruction and secondly, "It does not matter at all whether the temple is thought to still be standing in Jerusalem at the time that John sees the vision, since that would not necessarily have any bearing upon a vision. John is told by the angel accompanying him during the vision to 'measure the temple' (Rev. 11:1). Measure what temple? The temple in the vision. In fact, Ezekiel, during a similar vision of a temple (Eze. 40-48) wEze. 40:48-48) was told to measure that temple. [Preterists] would agree, that when Ezekiel saw and was told to measure a temple, that there was not one standing in Jerusalem." Ref-0055, December 2000, p. 309. "When [Zec. 1:16] was written, the Second Temple was still standing so the reference can only be to the rebuilding of the Temple the Romans destroyed in 70 AD." Ref-0082, April 2001, 22. Matthew 23:38-39 would seem to imply that the house of the Jewish nation (the temple) is to be 'left desolate' for a period of time which comes to an end when the Jew repent and recognize Jesus as Messiah. Questionable: Zec. 1:16 (?); Rev. 13:6 (?);

throne - David's distinct from God's : 2S. 7:16-17; Ps. 89:4; Ps. 89:29; Ps. 89:36; Ps. 93:1-2; Ps. 110:1; Ps. 132:12; Jer. 13:13; Jer. 17:25; Jer. 22:2; Jer. 22:4; Jer. 22:30; Lam. 5:19; Zec. 6:13; Mat. 25:31; Luke 1:32-33; Heb. 8:1; Heb. 12:2; Rev. 3:21; Rev. 12:5

Note "Several factors indicate that David's throne is separate and distinct from God's throne in heaven. First, several descendants of David have sat on his throne, but only one of his descendants ever sits on the right hand of God's throne in heaven. That descendant is Jesus Christ (Ps. 110:1; Heb. 8:1; 12:2). Second, David's throne was not established before his lifetime (2S. 7:16-17). By contrast, since God has always ruled over His creation, His throne in heaven was established long before David's throne (Ps. 93:1-2). Third, since God's throne in heaven was established long before David's throne and since God's throne was established forever (Lam. 5:19), then it was not necessary for God to promise to establish David's throne forever (2S. 7:16) if they are the same throne. Fourth, David's throne was on the earth, not in heaven. David and his descendants who sat on his throne exercised an earthly, ruling authority. They never exercised ruling authority in or from heaven. By contrast, as noted earlier, the Bible indicates that God's throne is in heaven. Fifth, the Bible's consistent description of David's throne indicates that it belongs to David. When God talked to David about his throne, God referred to it as 'thy throne' (2S. 7:16; Ps. 89:4; 132:12). When God mentioned David's throne to others, He referred to it as 'his throne' (Ps. 89:29; Jer. 33:21), 'David's throne' (Jer. 13:13), and 'the throne of David' (Jer. 17:25; 22:2, 4, 30). By contrast, the Scriptures' consistent description of the throne in heaven indicates that it belongs to God the Father." Ref-0057, January/February 2001, p. 30. In Rev. 12:5, Jesus is caught up to God the Father's throne.

throne - sitting on David's conditional : 2Chr. 6:16; 2Chr. 7:17; Ps. 132:12; Jer. 22:30; Jer. 36:30

Note "It is, then, not necessary for the line to be unbroken as to actual conduct of the kingdom, but it is rather that the lineage, royal prerogative, and right to the throne be preserved and never lost, even in sin, captivity, and dispersion. It is not necessary, then, for continuous political government to be in effect, but it is necessary that the line be not lost." Ref-0081, p. 201.

Note Re: Rev. 22:10 "Some interval, however, is presupposed between the vision and its fulfillment, otherwise it would be futile to write the visions down, and to arrange for their circulation throughout the churches. A certain career is anticipated for the book of Revelation." --Nicoll. "No other prophecy in the Bible remains to be fulfilled before the imminent event occurs. Therefore, if two prophesied events are imminent [the rapture and the beginning of the Day of the Lord], neither can precede the other... If both the rapture of the church and the beginning of the day of the Lord are occurrences that could come at any moment, the timing of the rapture is not open for debate. The only way that both events could be imminent is for them to be simultaneous. If one preceded the other even by a brief moment, the other would not be imminent because of the sign provided by the earlier happening. This fact constitutes strong biblical support for the pretribulational rapture."

Note "Because the rabbis found these [tithing] laws complex, they interpreted them to avoid confusion: First tithe (Ma-aser Rishon) is given to the Levites of the district, who give a tenth to the Aaronic priests. Second tithe (Ma'aser Sheni) is saved for the festival meal at the Temple on one of the pilgrimage holidays--Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost), and Succot (the Feast of Tabernacles). Tithe for the poor (Ma'aser Ani) is collected every third year. This is not brought to Jerusalem, but is given to the poor, widows, orphans and strangers in one's town." Ref-0082, March 2001, 12.

Note "If the expression 'tongues of men and angels' (1Cor. 13:1) be appealed to [as an indication that tongues were ecstatic in nature], it is sufficient to note that the first three verses of the chapter have a pronounced hyperbolic character. While angels no doubt have languages of their own, the apostle no more implies that he expects the readers to use them than that he expects them to give their bodies to be burned (v. 3)." Zane C. Hodges, "The Purpose of Tongues," Ref-200, 120 (July-September 1963): 231, cited in Ref-0115, p. 137.

Note "There are verses in 1 Corinthians 14 where foreign language makes sense but where unintelligible ecstatic utterance does not [1Cor. 14:22]. However the reverse cannot be said." Ref-0115, p. 147. God employed foreign languages (which were not understood) to 'speak' to Israel in judgment--since they would not listen to their own prophets speaking their native tongue He would 'speak to them' through the actions of foreign nations whose actions they would listen to.

Torah : fencing - Torah See note; Koran - Torah

Note From Hebrew "tora" = law. The first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.) Also know by Gentiles as the Pentateuch. "Torah, which is often translated 'law,' has, of course, a far greater compass than the sum of certain rules or regulations. The verbal root from which the noun is formed means 'to shoot,' that is, to mark the direction pointed out by an arrow. Torah thus combines elements of revelation and teaching of which legislation forms only a part. Torah means the total directive will of God as exhibited in creation, history, redemption, and the uttered word of judgment and salvation. It includes grace and law." Ref-0023, p. 172.

Two different Greek words are used to indicate touch [KJV]. The Greek word in verse 17 means to cling or to take hold. The Greek word in verse 27 means merely laying a hand onto someone else's skin. Since it was necessary for Jesus to leave the earth now that the earthly ministry of His first coming was completed, Mary was not to cling to Him to prevent Him from leaving. 2. Hebrews 9 explains that Christ was to enter the Heavenly Sanctuary as high priest and offer His own blood (Heb. 9:12, Heb. 10:12) to cleanse the heavenly things (Heb. 9:23-24)." Ref-067

Note "...with modern astronomy one can reckon a year very precisely as being '365.24219879 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45.975 seconds.' However, in ancient times various systems were used. When one investigates the calendars of ancient India, Persia, Babylonia and Assyria, Egypt, Central and South America, and China it is interesting to notice that they uniformly had twelve thirty-day months (a few had eighteen twenty-day months) making a total of 360 days for the year and they had various methods of intercalating days so that the year would come out correctly. Although it may be strange to present-day thinking, it was common in those days to think of a 360-day year." Ref-0044, pp. 135-136 "The time measurements encountered in Genesis chapters 7 and 8 are the result of a lunar calendar. Gen. 7:11 states the flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month, and it ended on the seventeenth day of the seventh month (Gen. 8:4), exactly five months. Both Gen. 7:24 and Gen. 8:3 declare the waters were upon the earth 150 days. Assuming each month is the same length, they would have 30 days apiece. Skeptics say that is a big assumption because the story does not cover an entire year, and thus doesn't take into account any days the ancients may have added on to their year." Charles H.

Note "He would learn [from the Babylonian Talmud] that before the Master of the Universe created man He consulted with His council of angels." Ref-0150, p. 310. Many grammarians explain the plural form of Elohim as being a plural of 'greatness' or 'majesty.' "Now your grammatical experts will no doubt tell you that this is a 'plural of majesty'. But that's because they are guessing. We could probably give a better guess than that. Nobody is in a position to show that in Moses' day or earlier, people were in the habit of addressing kings and princes in the plural. In fact, there is no evidence at all from the Bible itself, and the Bible is one of the oldest books there is. ... The custom of using the plural was certainly in being during the Middle Ages of Europe, but we have no evidence of it in the East or in earlier times. So it's much more likely that it is a simple plural indicatin plurality. So am I saying that we should translate the word as 'gods'? ... But that too, is impossible, because the word 'created' in the same sentence is singular. There must, then, be something plural about the Person of God Himself." Ref-0172, s.v. Elohim. "[The plurality of God in Gen. 1:26; 11:7; and Isa. 6:8] has been incorrectly explained [as a plural of majesty]. It is however, either communicative (including the attendant angels; so at all events is in Isa. 6:8, cf. also Gen. 3:22), or according to others, an indication of the the fullness of power and might implied in .werbeH ot ngierof etiuq si sserdda luftcepser fo mrof a sa larulp eht fo esu ehT .>I/I< fo larulp a sa denialpxe tseb si ti tub ;)>A/<62:1>")'62V1C_.neG'(X:TPIRCSAVAJ"=FERH A< .neG no nnamlliD ees( >tnof/<;touq&~yihol/a Ref-0173, p. 124f2, p. 398.

Note Borders (corners, "wings") of the garment, or rather the fringes fastened to them. "The Tsitsith were originally directed to be of white threads, with one thread of deep blue in each fringe. According to the tradition, each of these white fringes is to consist of eight threads, one of them wound round the others: first, seven times with a double knot; then eight times with a double knot (7 + 8 numerically = hw h{{ = yllaciremun 11( tonk elbuod a htiw >I/I< neht ;)>tnof/<;touq&hy); and lastly thirteen times (13 numerically = dxa; or together dxa hwhy, Jehovah One). Again, it is pointed out that as Tsitsith is numerically equal to 600 (tycyc), this with the eight threads and five knots, gives the number 613, which is that of the Commandments. At present the Tsitsith are worn as a special undergarment...or on the Tallith or prayer mantle, but anciently they seem to have been worn on the outer garment itself.}} Ref-0021, footnote 5, p. 192. "According to Jewish thinking, God chose the Jewish people to be the source of light in the world. They were to study the rule of law given to them and obey it--to take the 613 mitzvot (365 'thou shalts,' 248 'thou shalt nots') and incorporate them into their daily lives." Ref-0057, July/August 2001, p. 26. For a complete list of the commandments, see http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm http://baptist1.com/judaism/613.htm http://www.uscj.org/midwest/milwaukeecbi/jr_mitzv.htm "The 613 commandments of the Mosaic Law cannot simply be divided into categories of commandments, laws, and statutes. The fact is that these Hebrew words are used interchangeably for all of them. They may have a slight shade of emphasis here and there but sometimes the same order could be called a commandment, a statute, a law, etc. There is really no clear way of defining which order falls into which category. There are basically 613 laws, 613 commandments, and 613 statutes." Ref-0067, Fall 2001. "Rabbi Simelai expounded, 'Six hundred and thirteen commandments were given to Moses, three hundred and sixty-five negative ones, corresponding to the number of the days of the solar year, and two hundred forty-eight positive commandments, corresponding to the parts of man's body.... David came and reduced them to eleven... (Ps. 15). Isaiah came and reduced them to six... (Isa. 33:25-26). Micah came and reduced them to three... (Mic. 6:8). Isaiah again came and reduced them to two... (Isa. 56:1). Amos came and reduced them to a single one, as it is said, For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel. Seek Me and live.

Note "Both Joseph and Christ were born by special intervention of God (Gen. 30:22-24; Luke 1:35). Both were objects of special love by their fathers (Gen. 37:3; Mat. 3:17; John 3:35); both were hated by brethren (Gen. 37:4; John 15:24-25); both were rejected as rulers over their brethren (Gen. 37:8; Mat. 27:37-39; John 15:24-25); both were robbed of their robes (Gen. 37:23; Mat. 27:35); both were conspired against and placed in the pit of death (Gen. 37:18,24; Mat. 26:3-4; 27:35-37); both were sold for silver (Gen. 37:28; Mat. 26:14-15); both became servants (Gen. 39:4; Php. 2:7); both were condemned though innocent (Gen. 39:11-20; Isa. 53:9; Mat. 27:19,24)... Both were raised from humiliation to glory by the power of God... Both during the time of exaltation but continued rejection by brethren take a Gentile bride and are a blessing to Gentiles (Gen. 41:1-45; Acts 15:14; Rom. 11:11-12; Eph. 5:25-32). After the time of Gentile blessing begins to wane, both are received finally by their brethren and recognized as a savior and deliverer (Gen. 45:1-15; Rom. 11:1-27). Both exalt their brethren to places of honor and safety (Gen. 45:16-18; Isa. 65:17-25)." Ref-0104, pp. 66-67.

typology : typology - extreme; typology - Holy Spirit author of; typology - resurrection of Isaac; typology - shadow of things; typology - subtlety of; typology - two of same with different destinies See note; typology - used by God; Rom. 5:14; Heb. 7:3; Heb. 9:8-9; Heb. 11:19; 1Pe. 3:21

Note Type: "A figure or representation of something to come." Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language, 2d ed. "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that types which do not have express scriptural authority are illustrative rather than proof of doctrinal points." Ref-0104, p. 63. "The matter of typology can be summarized as follows: (1) a type must have meaning in its own context; (2) the meaning of the type in its own context is essential for a type/antitype relationship (otherwise we have an example of a parable or perhaps an allegory, but not an example of typology); and (3) ignoring items 1 and 2 threatens the very integrity of the Old Testament." John S. Feinberg, "Salvation in the Old Testament," Ref-0198, p. 47.
