In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. I think there are some reasons why they are the same. In the beginning of the chapter, it said that david was just a boy, and Casey must be a boy because modern kids are into baseball,sports, and whatnot. The two stories show that they both have some sort of team. It says in the story of david and goliath that there was an army, and in Casey’s story it says that the had a baseball team so technically they both have teams.
The book of 1-2 Chronicles were written to meet the needs of the remnant Jews about the history of Israel. The books were intentionally made to remind the exile people who reads the book concerning the cause and reasons that brought them to the position where they were right now. Through this purpose, it is important to recognize these three things: 1) the importance of honoring the national and spiritual heritage of the Jews, 2) the importance of obeying the Mosaic law, the existence of the temple, and the priesthood in maintaining their spiritual relationship with the Lord their God, which is, much more important than their loyalty to the worldly kings, and 3) the unending hope for Israel regarding God’s promise of the future Messiah from

My heart is so grateful, to our Father, for the opportunity to start this journey with this course, Understanding the Old Testament. I have a basic understanding of the Old Testament at this time of my life, however I am eager to learn as much as possible. I have read most of the Bible but the books that I am missing to read are all coincidently in the Old Testament, which are 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Psalm. Thou I have read most of the books I barely have any knowledge on the history behind the books and the culture, which is greatly important to be able to understanding it fully. The knowledge that I have received from the Old Testament has come from different sources but mostly I have to thank the Holy Spirit because He gives us the understanding to comprehend what it is
Damian Pardol Period:½ May 1,2017 Week 2 writing prompt Similarities and Differences About Selim and Romi Selim is a polish jew and Romi is also a jew but they 're both very similar and different, even though they are both in the same book “We Fought Back”.

This book, consisting of 22 chapters, is the eleventh book in the Old Testament. It accounts events from the last days of King David, the summit of Israel history when King Solomon was the wisest king, the declination and division of Israel into two countries (Israel and Judah), which were resulted from Solomon’s sin of turning away from the Lord. The book ended at the reigns of godly king Jehoshaphat in Judah and evil king Ahaziah in Israel. Besides the stories of kings, the stories of prophets, who played an important role as mediators between the Lord and the humans in general, kings in
Two of the most prominent rulers in the history of Israel, Saul and David, one plagued by jealousy and pride, the other remembered for his faith in God and establishing the Kingdom of Israel. This leads one to wonder what factored into the different legacies of these two men. The clearest distinction one can make is their response when confronted about their sin. In I Samuel, Saul’s unrepentant heart is exemplified when he is confronted by Samuel and says, “then I said ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering” (I Samuel 13:12).
The Damascus Document involves two sections, exhortation and statues. Written by “the Guardian” the exhortation functions as an explanation for why the community should remain faithful, with attention given to God’s retribution for being unfaithful (Vermes, 128). The verse, (Vermes 132, lines 12-18) interprets Isaiah as detailing the punishment of the “seekers of smooth things,” in their failure to uphold the Covenant, as seen by the presence of a prophetic end times narrative, three nets metaphor, and separation of the Qumran community from the priests of Jerusalem. In the context of the Damascus document, the verse predicts their punishment, with the document expanding upon their exact failings and God’s historical pattern of rewarding the faithful and punishing those that break the Covenant.

The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
