The only Torah texts with which I am thoroughly familiar are the Creation poem of Genesis 1 and the narrative account of Genesis 2 and the Exodus texts of the song of Miriam, Sinai, and Merabah/Massah.<br />Robert Alter refers to the Enoch text, Genesis 5:32, as a "cryptic verse." He says: "The reflexive form of the verb "to walk" that occurs here is the same form used for God's walking about in the Garden" and "surely implies some sort of special intimate relationship with God, but what that might be is anyone's guess." If the foremost Hebrew scholar of this century refuses to attack the Hebrew in this verse, I am wise enough to follow his example.<br /> K Cummings Pipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651771206479169237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145443337157660074.post-66937215135923817182020-09-06T21:18:56.263-05:002020-09-06T21:18:56.263-05:00Hmmm...

I never thought of the word “blessed” as “walking in the way of the Lord,” which seems silly because I didn’t know it’s essential meaning, apparently. Being blessed by you and Bobbie today during church service is even more meaningful now.<br /><br />I am curious — what words were utilized when it is described that Enoch walked with God?Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648578417535387963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145443337157660074.post-56968236283161133832020-09-04T13:47:36.525-05:002020-09-04T13:47:36.525-05:00Wonderful commentary & teaching - I can not wa...Wonderful commentary & teaching - I can not wait to go back through the 1st Psalm word by word.

I was having trouble getting the time and a suitable device together so that I could listen to the audio. I'm very thankful to be able to read it.<br /><br />This section spoke the loudest to me: <br /><br /><i>We humans are like all life on earth nephesh chay, “creatures have the breath of life” but we also are not “according to our kind.” We are made the likeness and created the image of God.<br />That fact requires our recognition of God’s image in all people. <br />And that recognition demands that when we look at other people, we look for the image of God.<br />How differently might we treat those who are strangers or poor or sick if we saw God in every face?<br />Is that not the point of much of Jesus’ teaching?</i> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07153430868123807809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145443337157660074.post-23987868168885256212017-05-03T06:53:29.241-05:002017-05-03T06:53:29.241-05:00I added 3/4 cup of Half-and-Half, a Tablespoon of ...I added 3/4 cup of Half-and-Half, a Tablespoon of butter, and some more seasoning.

If the canonical Psalms are our model, few hymn-writers could hope to write with such remarkable insight (into God and His creatures, who are only dust) and remarkable craftsmanship (e.g. the first three words of the first Psalm begin with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, aleph (א), each also has a shin (ש), and two of the three also have a resh (ר), even though each is only a 3-letter word. Even those unfamiliar with Hebrew cannot miss the remarkable assonance and alliteration in those opening three words: “ashre ha-ish asher”)." T.
