As we’ve seen several times, the order of the stories in the Torah are wisely set—but are not always in a chronological or historical order. This can be a real strain to our non-native-to-Hebrew brains. We are called to renew our minds to the Word rather than simply… Read More »Who Are The Kenites?
One of the greatest challenges (and fun opportunities) of studying the Torah is trying to get into the head of the original authors to solve the hidden riddles in the text.
