What's the reason for Caleb, Achsah and Othniel story? In Joshua 15:16-19, it is related a short episode of Caleb, Othniel and Achsah. In Judges 1:12-15, it is related the same story (almost copy paste). Why do you think this story was considered significant enough so that Joshua wrote it down (in his book)? (more) |

@PinnyM Abraham accepted gifts from Pharaoh before Pharaoh to know that Sarah was Abraham's wife. I think Pharaoh could have blamed him even more.
Abimelech offered him gifts after punishment. Genesis 12:14-20 vs Genesis 20:14-16. Even in Abimelech's case, there's still place for arguing IMO.

A: What is the purpose of God asking Adam to name the animals? Adding somehow to what @sabbahillel stated in his answer, I would add this for OP's first point: God is in relation to His people (and I think that's true about Adam). Deuteronomy 8:5 says: > Bear in mind that the LORD your God disciplines you just as a man disciplines his son. I think in the... (more) |

@Monica Cellio The argument with Pharaoh is a bit weak. The same can be said about the case with Abimelech. (IMO). I wouldn't add any of this arguments in question because I feel it slightly brings the discussion in another topic. (more) |

If he had sworn to God previously, why did he give the reason: " you shall not say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’ " N.B. What I'm trying to say is this: if Abraham already took the vow and only made it known now (which as you said can be a possibility), why did he give the second reason? As I alread... (more) |

@Monica Cellio Thanks for welcoming. Verse 23 tells his reason for not accepting the possessions. I want to know what's the reason for his reason. The explanation for his decision not to accept the possessions. With other words: why would have Abraham have accepted the reaches from Pharaoh and not fr... (more) |

| Question | — |
Why did Abraham refuse to accept Bera's proposal In Genesis 14:21-23, after Abraham returns, king of Sodom proposes him to take the riches, with him keeping the people. Abraham didn't accept it with a great vow before God and as such, avoiding to give the opportunity to the king of Sodom to think of himself the one who made Abraham rich. What would... (more) |
