Genesis 12:10 “There was famine in the land.” Habakkuk 2:4: “The just shall live by his faith.” “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge – Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Jewish literature gives an interesting insight into Genesis 12:10. The word for there was is yehi which
Genesis 15:6: “And he (Abraham) believed the Lord and He counted it as righteousness.” John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works
Genesis 47:31: “And he said swear unto me and he swore unto him, And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.” Hebrews 11:21: “By faith Jacob when he was dying blessed both the sons of Joseph and worshipped upon the top of his staff. This is one passage that sure does not make
Matthew 8:26 “And he said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” Luke 8:25 “And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered… I have always been troubled
Exodus 7:9: “When Pharaoh says to you: ‘Prove yourself by working a miracle.’ It is interesting to note that the word for prove here is not nacah which means to prove.

The people of Israel had just
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomim; Psalms 36:12: “Let not the foot of pride overtake me.” “I am very proud to be called a pig. It stands for pride, integrity and guts.” Ronald Reagan One reason why so many people liked Ronald Reagan was that he could be intelligent without being an
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomim: Joel 3:5: “Because you have taken my silver and my gold and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.” This is very odd indeed. The prophet is speaking of the time of King Jehoram and of course the time of the prophet himself, who
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomim: Genesis 12:10 “There was famine in the land.” “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge – Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I read in Jewish literature an interesting twist to this verse in Genesis 12:10. The word for “there was” (yehi) can
