Your teaching has been leading me from Genesis to Judges. Once again Lord taught me the history, the truth and my direction of life through your tongue. Respect and appreciation to you, Pastor Skip!
The book of judges exactly describs how it feels to live in America right now. It feels like chaos. Every man and woman has been doing as they judge to be right. May God deliver us from our oppression of ourselves. Blessed be the the Lord our God. The one true living God.
I wholeheartedly agree Jada. I recently discovered him studying the book of Joshua and I LOVE....LOVE....LOVE...verse-by-verse teaching. Unfortunately, EXTREMELY hard to come by. I am always left hungry with 'spot' teaching.
This is the way the Bible should be taught...Book by Book, Verse by Verse. The pastor should NEVER assume that the “saints/sheep” is understanding everything he is saying. Also when taught this way it is so easy to RETAIN the information ( especially if the pastor ENCOURAGE the saints to go home and re-read the verse and go on to the next verses or chapter he will be preaching/teaching from the following Bible study/ Sunday sermon). Even ask , “How many of you re-read/ meditated on the past scriptures ( we covered )and read ahead as I asked/recommended?” The pastor may have FEW show of hands at start but, a greater show of hands each week. RETAINING is very, very IMPORTANT!!!
Might be a bit late on the post but have been watching what you’ve been doing skip in out class and at home sometimes absolutely love what your doing never stop being a helper of God!!!
Great information. I was a little caught off guard to hear Haraites included with the group of Canaanites, I am sure it was a misspeak knowing Yeshua (Jesus) , the disciples and all the early followers were Haraites until which time modern Christians morphed into what is modern Christianity.
Jephthah was evidently the firstborn of Gilead. Consequently he would normally have inherited two portions in the property of his father Gilead (who apparently was dead at the time Jephthah’s half brothers drove him out) and would also have been the head of the family. Only by illegally driving him away could Jephthah’s half brothers deprive him of his rightful inheritance, for even though the firstborn son of a father was the son of a secondary wife, or even a less-favored wife, he was, nevertheless, to receive the firstborn’s rights.-De 21:15-17
I do not think it was Nietzsche that said: If God is dead all things are permitted, that comes from the atheist Ivan Karamazov in Dostoevsky's classic, The Brothers Karamazov. Also, I am not sure that the there are only two alternatives, literalism or relativism. There must be some nuance in between, no? Nonetheless, two thumbs up from me Pastor Heitzig--excellent as usual.
Did Jephthah have in mind human sacrifice when he vowed to present as a burnt offering the first one coming out of his house? Some critics and scholars have condemned Jephthah for his vow, having the view that Jephthah followed the practice of other nations, offering up his daughter by fire as a human burnt offering. But this is not the case. It would be an insult to Jehovah, a disgusting thing in violation of his law, to make a literal human sacrifice. He strictly commanded Israel: “You must not learn to do according to the detestable things of those nations. There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire . . . For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.” (De 18:9-12) Jehovah would curse, not bless, such a person. The very ones Jephthah was fighting, the Ammonites, practiced human sacrifice to their god Molech.-Compare 2Ki 17:17; 21:6; 23:10; Jer 7:31, 32; 19:5, 6. When Jephthah said: “It must also occur that the one coming out, who comes out of the doors of my house to meet me . . . must also become Jehovah’s,” he had reference to a person and not an animal, since animals suitable for sacrifice were not likely kept in Israelite homes, to have free run there. Besides, the offering of an animal would not show extraordinary devotion to God. Jephthah knew that it might well be his daughter who would come out to meet him. It must be borne in mind that Jehovah’s spirit was on Jephthah at the time; this would prevent any rash vow on Jephthah’s part. How, then, would the person coming out to meet Jephthah to congratulate him on his victory “become Jehovah’s” and be offered up “as a burnt offering”?-Jg 11:31. Persons could be devoted to Jehovah’s exclusive service in connection with the sanctuary. It was a right that parents could exercise. Samuel was one such person, promised to tabernacle service by a vow of his mother Hannah before his birth. This vow was approved by her husband Elkanah. As soon as Samuel was weaned, Hannah offered him at the sanctuary. Along with him, Hannah brought an animal sacrifice. (1Sa 1:11, 22-28; 2:11) Samson was another child specially devoted to God’s service as a Nazirite.-Jg 13:2-5, 11-14; compare the father’s authority over a daughter as outlined in Nu 30:3-5, 16. When Jephthah brought his daughter to the sanctuary, which was in Shiloh at that time, he undoubtedly accompanied his presentation of her with an animal burnt offering. According to the Law, a burnt offering was slaughtered, skinned, and cut up; the intestines and shanks were washed; and its body, head and all, was burned on the altar. (Le 1:3-9) The wholeness of such offering represented full, unqualified, wholehearted dedication to Jehovah, and when it accompanied another offering (as, for example, when the burnt offering followed the sin offering on the Day of Atonement), it constituted an appeal to Jehovah to accept that other offering.-Le 16:3, 5, 6, 11, 15, 24. It was a real sacrifice on the part of both Jephthah and his daughter, for he had no other child. (Jg 11:34) Therefore no descendant of his would carry on his name and his inheritance in Israel. Jephthah’s daughter was his only hope for this. She wept, not over her death, but over her “virginity,” for it was the desire of every Israelite man and woman to have children and to keep the family name and inheritance alive. (Jg 11:37, 38) Barrenness was a calamity. But Jephthah’s daughter “never had relations with a man.” Had these words applied only to the time prior to the carrying out of the vow, they would have been superfluous, for she is specifically said to have been a virgin. That the statement has reference to the fulfilling of the vow is shown in that it follows the expression, “He carried out his vow that he had made toward her.” Actually, the record is pointing out that also after the vow was carried out she maintained her virginity.-Jg 11:39; compare renderings in KJ; Dy; Yg; NW. Moreover, Jephthah’s daughter was visited “from year to year” by her companions to ‘give her commendation.’ (Jg 11:40) The Hebrew word ta·nahʹ, used here, also occurs at Judges 5:11, and in that text is variously rendered “recount” (NW), “rehearse” (KJ), “recounted” (AT), “repeat” (RS). The word is defined in A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon (edited by B. Davies, 1957, p. 693) as “to repeat, to rehearse.” At Judges 11:40 the King James Version renders the term “lament,” but the margin reads “talk with.” As Jephthah’s daughter served at the sanctuary, doubtless like other Nethinim (“Given Ones” devoted to sanctuary service), there was much she could do. These persons served in gathering wood, drawing water, doing repair work, and undoubtedly performing many other tasks as assistants to the priests and Levites there.-Jos 9:21, 23, 27; Ezr 7:24; 8:20; Ne 3:26.
The mother of Jephthah was “a prostitute woman,” not meaning, however, that Jephthah was born of prostitution or was illegitimate. His mother had been a prostitute prior to her marriage as a secondary wife to Gilead, just as Rahab had once been a prostitute but later married Salmon. (Jg 11:1; Jos 2:1; Mt 1:5) That Jephthah was not illegitimate is proved by the fact that his half brothers by Gilead’s primary wife drove him out so that he would not share in the inheritance. (Jg 11:2) Additionally, Jephthah later became the accepted leader of the men of Gilead (of whom Jephthah’s half brothers seemed to be foremost). (Jg 11:11) Moreover, he offered a sacrifice to God at the tabernacle. (Jg 11:30, 31) None of these things would have been possible for an illegitimate son, for the Law specifically stated: “No illegitimate son may come into the congregation of Jehovah. Even to the tenth generation none of his may come into the congregation of Jehovah.”-De 23:2.
