1 Samuel 7:12 ~ NIrV
"Then Samuel got a big stone. He set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer. He said, "The Lord has helped us every step of the way.""
This is one of my favorite verses! So, here’s one of the cool things about Ebenezer, for generations to come, when the Israelites would pass by that stone they would tell their children and grandchildren about the goodness and faithfulness of God. And it wasn’t just generic, “God is good” they would hand down these stories of our mighty God from generation to generation like the most priceless of heirlooms. Man, that gets me excited just thinking about it!
Can you imagine how cool it would have been for those kids growing up in Israel? They knew God was good because they were
So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of Hashem , who is enthroned between the cherubim. And Eliʼs two sons, Hophni and Phinehas,
While David did not know anything that was going on between his uncle and father David still went on this long journey. When David had finally arrived to his location, his uncle had unlocked the door. When his uncle had unlocked, and opened the door David became very nervous and terrified because he did not know that was his uncle, and when he had opened the door his uncle had looked very terrifying. At first his uncle seemed very calm and welcoming but it was all just pretend. It turned out that his uncle was trying to kill him. One night, it was a serious thunderstorm going on and Ebenezer had made David go up five stories of the house by an outside stair to fetch some papers. In doing this his uncle, Ebenezer, hoped that he would fall to
Eliezer’s lost of hope in Gods existence and his justice is a major theme in the book Night. At the beginning of the book, his belief in God is outright. Eliezer cannot imagine living without his strong beliefs and daily prayers. When Eliezer is asked why does he believe in God, he answers, “Why did I pray? ...
In 2 Samuel the narrative shifts to the reign of David as he rises above Saul’s son Ish-bosheth to become the king, first of Judah and then of all the tribes of Israel (5:1–4). The book records David’s wars of conquest including the capture of Jerusalem and the relocation of the ark of the covenant to the City of David (6:1–19). But the author also records David’s failures: his adultery with Bathsheba (11:1–26), Absalom’s rebellion (15:1–18:30), Sheba’s revolt (20:1–26), and the disastrous census (24:1–25). Like all the prophetic writers, the author presents a portrait of his historical figures from the perspective of their faithfulness to God’s covenant.
First Off, the first obstacle the reader becomes aware of as the novel progresses is Eliezer’s internal thoughts in regards to losing his family, this is exemplified through him describing the separation of the women and children from the strong men and boys. He describes them being separated and him “watch[ing] [as they] walk[ed], getting further and further away,” Eliezer does not realise that this will be the last time he sees his mother and sister. His father is now all he has, which proves to lead to many pivotal moments further into the novel. His loss of touch with his familial roots proves to be more of an internal struggle as Eliezer tries to cope with his own character changes. His father becomes a central component of his will to
No, Eliezer did not let his father down at all throughout the book. His father was dying, it was a long death, and Eliezer was there with him throughout it all. He always came back to him, even when he thought of leaving. His father, at times, was telling him to go on, to leave him and let him die, but he wouldn’t. He always helped him walk to get to a place, he was giving his father his rations when he needed it, and gave him warmth. Eliezer’s father was most likely very proud to see how he treated people even at his worse, and was glad to have him there with him so he didn’t have to die alone.

The next time Samuel Hamilton dropped by the Trask's place, he was appalled to discover that Adam had not named the twins yet. Referring to the Bible belonging to his devout wife, Samuel and Adam arrived at the names Caleb and Aron. Ten years later, when an elderly Samuel Hamilton stopped by to say goodbye to Adam and his family, Lee, the Trask's learned servant, told Samuel of an interesting topic that had stimulated him. Since their conversation ten years earlier, Lee researched the Bible story of Cain speaking to the Lord, and found it intriguing that the Hebrew word to describe the lesson was timshel, meaning thou mayest. Therefore, instead of the Lord ordering men to triumph over
The East of Eden story circles around the Hebrew word: “Timshel”, loosely translated by a servant Lee as “Thou mayest.” It was Samuel, who had a meaningful conversation with Lee, when he realized what the word meant to

I chose this passage due to the fact; this is when I believe the passage is accounting the creation of this so called water god. Not only is the quote extremely important to the passage, this quotation is the start of a whole new beginning to another meaning. Our ancestors truly believed that these gods were the sole purpose of everything around us and because of their great abilities, we are provided with what we need to live our lives. At the end of the quotations its showing us nothing was stopping this creation for these gods to be born, making the situation that much more powerful since it was unstopped.
