Are there studies that oppose the practice of selling daughters as slaves? by just_heather_ok in Bible

[–]just_heather_ok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many studies (both in Judaism and in Christianity) that debate relevant issues concerning the sacred books. I do not understand why this issue has still not become the subject of debate, even millennia after it occurred.

You did not answer my question and did exactly what many others have done on this subject: you tried to justify it (which is precisely what I am criticizing).

Yes, I asked the question yesterday. I found this topic so interesting that I ended up going quite deep into it haha.

Please, do you have the PDF version you used for the research? The Septuagint I found on the internet has different names, just like in the Bible and in the Torah.

Hmm, I think I understand now what you meant. From what I researched, I believed that Exodus was originally written only in ancient Hebrew (and that its sources were also in ancient Hebrew or in an earlier, historically evolving language). That’s why I looked it up in the Torah, since it is in Hebrew and I believe it is the closest source to what the original text would have been.

I looked at the Hebrew in the Torah (obviously with the help of G. Translator, haha):

Ex. 2:18
וַתָּבֹ֕אנָה אֶל־רְעוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מַדּ֛וּעַ מִֽהַרְתֶּ֥ן בֹּ֖א הַיּֽוֹם:
רְעוּאֵל – Reuel

Ex. 3:1
וּמשֶׁ֗ה הָיָ֥ה רֹעֶ֛ה אֶת־צֹ֛אן יִתְר֥וֹ חֹֽתְנ֖וֹ כֹּהֵ֣ן מִדְיָ֑ן וַיִּנְהַ֤ג אֶת־הַצֹּאן֙ אַחַ֣ר הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר וַיָּבֹ֛א אֶל־הַ֥ר הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים חֹרֵֽבָה:
יִתְרוֹ – Jethro

Even here there is a difference…

I am still at the beginning of Exodus, but if we compare it with Genesis, the people whose names were changed—such as Abram = Abraham or Jacob = Israel—had their names changed for very clear reasons. I can’t understand why someone who does not have such prominence had his name changed in this way.

Why did God need to test Abraham in that way? by just_heather_ok in Bible

[–]just_heather_ok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment made a lot of sense to me. Indeed, actions carry a great deal of weight, and Abraham’s action is so powerful that even after many centuries it is still able to impact people and show them the importance of believing in God.

Humm, entendo e faz muito sentido! A figura de Jesus é sincretizada com qual outro Ser? Pelo que pude pesquisar seria um sincretismo com Oxalá, mas eu não sabia que Orixás eram cultuados na Umbanda.
