The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts;

Genesis could be broken down into two sections: Chapters 1-11 (God & the World) and 12-50 (God & Abraham’s Family). What hinges the two parts together is contained in chapter 12, assisting us in understanding the message as a whole and introducing to the rest of the bible. Genesis 1-4:16: Here we begin where everything is darkness and disordered, however; God puts everything into order, creating a world where life can thrive. He finally creates Adam and Eve (A&E) in His image, which He meant

Summary of Amos and Haggai In the book of Amos, Amos is a shepherd and takes care of fig trees (Amos 1:1, 7:14). He was not a prophet nor did he come from a family of prophets (Amos 7:14). Amos lived in the region of Tokoa, not far from the city of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1). God sent Amos away primarily to the nation of Israel, this is where he would deliver his prophecy against the northern kingdom of Israel and surrounding nations, thus leading to resistance from the Israelites (Amos 7:12).

Bible Interpretation Paper I examined Jeremiah 13:1-11in these three translations: New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), and The Message (MSG); most of the perspectives will be coming from the NIV. The NIV calls this narrative ‘A Linen Belt’, the ESV called it ‘The Ruined Loincloth’, and the MSG called it ‘People Who Do Only What They Want to Do’. The story starts out with God telling Jeremiah to buy a linen belt and not to let it touch water. Jeremiah bought the linen

“This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does? Declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so

With the start of recorded storytelling in The Epic of Gilgamesh societies have defined themselves through their writings. Their beliefs, what they hold in high esteem, and what they regard as evil or barbaric, all of it is contained within the stories they’ve told. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the first, telling of the king of Uruk from around 2100 BCE, in Mesopotamia. Later the first two books of the Old Testament, Genesis and Exodus, are presumed to have been written around 600 BCE near Babylon. Then

The book of Genesis began with the covenant with Abraham, which was a binding- relationship with God. God promised numerous descendants, land, and a relationship with him. God’s first blessing would provide Abraham with numerous descendants. In turn, God would make Abraham and his descendants a great nation. His second blessing would provide him and his family with a place to call home. His third blessing stated that Abraham would have a relationship with God. This meant that, anyone who blessed

Secondly, one chapter later in Chapter 27, through persuasion from his mother, Jacob who is the son of Isaac swindles his father and says that he is instead his brother, Esau. Jacob

One of the inherent conflicts in the story of Joseph is the tension between Joseph and his brothers. The tension between them is caused by both Jacob and Joseph. First, Jacob shows favoritism toward Joseph, because he is the son of his favorite wife Rachel. Second, Joseph brings back bad reports when he is out pasturing with his brothers. However, what truly increased the hatred and jealousy was the Joseph’s dreams. The author notes that when Joseph recounts the dreams, “they hated him even more

In order for Asger Leth to successfully create a suspenseful nail biting experience for the audience, the setting of Man on a Ledge had to be perfect. The premise of the movie was to commit a heist in the middle of the day without the man getting robbed have any idea what was really happening. To do this, the characters needed a setting easily manipulated and filled with distractions to use at their disposal. This is why New York City was the ideal location for this film to be set.
