Biblical Accommodation
We shall consider (1) what is meant by biblical accommodation; (2) its use in Sacred Scripture; (3) the rules which ought to regulate its use. (1) What is Biblical Accommodation? Holy Ghost on Noe, Isaac, and Moses are applied to other saints. Thus the words of Ecclus., xxxii, 1, 5: "Have they made thee ruler? . . . hinder not music" are sometimes applied to College presidents assuming the burden of their office; we need not say that the words of Sacred Scripture have quite a different meaning. The second species of accommodation, called allusive, is often a mere play on words and at times seems due to a misunderstanding of the original meaning. The Vulgate text, Mirabilis Deus in sanctis suis (Ps., lxvii, 36) means, in the mouth of the Psalmist, that God is wonderful in His sanctuary ( sancta, -orum ). The Latin words may also be translated " God is wonderful in his saints" ( sancti, -orum ), and they are employed in this sense in the Missal. As this second signification was not intended by the inspired writer, the English rendering of the text in the Douay version is a mistranslation. (2) The Use of Accommodation in the Bible It is generally held by Catholic authors that certain passages from the Old Testament have been used over again in the New Testament with a change of meaning. In the Epistle to the Hebrews (xiii, 5) the words spoken to Josue, "I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Jos., i, 5), are applied to all

123. Biblical Personalities: Elijah
A contemporary Jewish look at the revered prophet.
http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/84.html
Biblical Personalities: Elijah
Why was Elijah privileged to be able to revive the dead? Because he did the will of the Holy One, Blessed is He, and he would sigh over the honor of Israel every day as if Israel were in danger of being destroyed from the world. In every generation that Elijah found righteous men, he would embrace and kiss them and bless the Holy One (Tanna d’Bei Eliyahu Rabbah 5:11). Elijah still lives (Seder Olam Rabbah 21). Perhaps more than any of the glo- rious personalities depicted in the Bible, Elijah the Prophet has transcended Jewish history and Jewish time. At the most dramatic moment of the Passover seder, the door is opened for Elijah, the “cup of Elijah” is symbolically raised, and the messianic strains of “Eliyahu Hanavi” are intoned, thus revealing a deep and age-old Jewish belief in the coming of the messiah. Elijah is welcomed at every circumcision ceremony, where the kos Eliyahu (“Elijah’s cup”) is transformed into kisei Eliyahu (“Elijah’s chair”). He graces many midrashim, stories, and narratives - often in mufti - where he performs acts of kindness and redemption. On Shabbat Hagadol, the Sabbath preceding Passover, his name is invoked in the Haftarah lection: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord (Malachi 3:23). The biblical Elijah, interestingly, seems devoid of sentimentality. He accepts his prophetic mission piously, first with a small act of lovingkindness to a widow, later exacting punishment upon Ahab and Jezebel’s false prophets of Baal. The brutality of the punishment is rivalled by Elijah’s powers over nature. He brings forth the rain and resurrects the dead in a parable redolent of the New Testament (I Kings 17:17-24). He travels forty days in the desert to receive, like Moses, God’s testimony on Mount Horeb. There, after experiencing the power of the Lord’s natural forces (earthquakes, wind, fire), Elijah hears a “still small voice.” Truly alone, he accepts Divinity’s commands, sounding much like Herman Melville’s Ishmael: “I, even I only, am left” (I Kings 19:14).

The Bible says that all the imaginations of peoples' hearts were continually wickedthey were always thinking about things that God finds detestable. However, even when things seemed so bad, God picked out Noah because he was a person who tried to do what was right. He chose Noah to do a very special work in his day.

  • 132. Biblical Personalities: Zechariah
    A contemporary Jewish look at the lesserknown prophet.
    http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/98.html
    Biblical Personalities: Zechariah
    Zechariah is also called Meshullam (Nehemiah 8:4) because he was perfect in his deeds (Megillah 23a).
    Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi all prophesied in the second year of the reign of Darius (Megillah 15a).
    Zechariah prophesied during the Second Temple era (Sanhedrin 99a).
    The section of the Bible in which the prophecy of Zechariah is included is known as Minor Prophets. There is nothing minor, nothing unimportant, nothing unprofound about this fourteen-chapter book, which pours forth narratives and visions whose complexity and mystery rival any section of the biblical collection.
    The early prophecies of Zechariah, who was a contemporary of Haggai, may be affixed to the reign of Darius (520-518 B.C.E.). Two sections of the book are clearly limned: chapters one through eight describe the return of Israel from the Babylonian exile; chapters nine through fourteen form an eschatological narrative. In the tradition of Haggai, Zechariah enlists support for the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple. Unlike Haggai, he calls forth fantastic visions that both appear and evanesce before the stunned reader.
    This is only the beginning. A vision of the High Priest, Joshua, who exchanges filthy garments for clean robes, and Satan, standing accusingly to his right, who is rebuked by the Lord, highlight the third chapter. There an angel promises Joshua that if the returning exiles obey the dictates of the Lord, they will be rewarded with “My servant the Shoot” (Zechariah 3:8). This apparently is a reference to the reign of Zerubbabel, who is entrusted to rebuild the Temple.

According to him, the lay of the land is connected to the histories and theologies of the two faiths that developed here: the faith of Jesus, which is Judaism; and the faith in Jesus which developed out of Judaism. Langfur does an admirable job of providing historical and geographical context by using on-site photography, maps, charts, and art works to connect the viewer with the story behind the Good Book.

    Joseph in Egypt
    Inscription of the 7 Year Famine
    Joseph's main position was that of a prime minister and Imhotep appears to be the first who could boast of such a broad range of authority in ancient Egypt. There are records of many, many viziers throughout Egyptian history- but the first evidence which connects Imhotep with Joseph is an amazing inscription found carved on a large rock on the island of Sihiel just below the First Cataract of the Nile. This inscription claims to be a copy of a document written by Djoser in the 18th year of his reign,- this copy being written over 1,000 years after the events it claims to be relating. It goes on to tell of a seven year famine and seven years of plenty. Let's look at a few passages from this inscription and compare them with the Biblical account, keeping in mind that this was written a millennium after the events it claims to be describing:
      1. It begins with the great distress of the pharaoh: "I was in distress on the Great Throne..." "And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled" GEN 41:8 2. In the inscription, the pharaoh is troubled about a famine and asks Imhotep who the god of the Nile is, so he can approach him about the drought: "... I asked him who was the Chamberlain,...Imhotep, the son of Ptah... `What is the birthplace of the Nile? Who is the god there? Who is the god?'" Imhotep answers: "I need the guidance of Him who presides over the fowling net,..." "And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace." GEN 41:16

    135. Jericho
    The religious heritage of the city from a Christian perspective.
    http://www.ctsp.co.il/LBS pages/LBS_jericho.htm
    Jericho Thought by archeologists to be over 10,000 years old, Jericho is the oldest known walled city in the world. When Joshua and the Children of Israel entered the Promised Land for the first time, those walls came "tumbling down". " When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city " [Joshua 6:20]. Although archeologists have not yet uncovered remains of the famous walls of that time, Tel Jericho ( Tel es Sultan located in the modern city) includes the ruins of a large circular tower and fortifications that indicate Jericho's importance. Cleopatra once coveted the environs of Jericho. She wanted control of the persimmon plantations from which a perfume that 'drove men wild' was produced (unfortunately the plant is now extinct!) An oasis of lush foliage and abundant springs in a dry desert setting, Jericho has been used over the ages as a winter resort for the wealthy. Herod built himself a palace in Jericho, as did rulers of the Moslem Umayyid dynasty. In the New Testament, crowds gathered when Jesus paid a visit to Jericho (at nearby

    137. Biblical Personalities: Isiah
    A contemporary Jewish look at the humble prophet.
    http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/86.html
    Biblical Personalities: Isiah
    The Holy One, Blessed is He, said to Isaiah, “My children are troublesome and rebellious. If you undertake to be hit and degraded by My children, you will go on My mission; otherwise you will not.” Isaiah replied, “I accept the condition and I am not worthy of going on a mission to your children.” Then the Holy One said, “All the prophets received the spirit of prophecies from another prophet, but you will receive your prophecies from the mouth of the Lord. All the prophets prophesied simple prophecies, but you will prophesy double comforts: Be comforted, be comforted” (Isaiah 40:1) (Vayikra Rabbah 10:2). Isaiah prophesied many more prophecies than all the other prophets; moreover, he prophesied about all the nations of the world (Pesikta Rabbati 33:25). The call of God brought forth from his chosen prophets a typical response: Who are we to serve the Almighty in truth? The characteristic of humility - in Abraham, in Moses, and now in Isaiah - was a prerequisite for service. When one considers the rigors of their prophetic careers, and Divinity’s imperative to stand up against injustice, corruption, and sinfulness, he might wonder if “humility” were truly the most important attribute possessed by a potential leader of the people. It certainly wouldn’t work that way today. “Ambitious,” “aggressive,” “fearless,” are modernity’s watchwords of success - which causes one to pause. Why, in the ancient world, was humility considered an essential part of leadership? Perhaps because the humble person was more comprehending and more responsive to a force in life much greater than himself. This does not mean he suppressed his personality and his talents, but rather saw himself in proper perspective: that is, he was merely a vessel of God’s desires for His people.

    138. Biblical Personalities: Job
    A contemporary Jewish look at the suffering believer.
    http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/100.html
    Biblical Personalities: Job
    Job never existed; this story was only a parable (Bava Batra 15a).
    No one among the nations of the world was more righteous than Job (Devarim Rabbah 2:4).
    "Blaspheme God, and die” (Job 2:9). Pray before the Holy One, Blessed is He, that you should die, so that you will go from this world innocent, whole, and righteous before you come to sin; for you cannot accept the pain and you will regret your deed of the past (Midrash Iyov 14).
    When suffering came upon Job, had he restrained his anger and not complained of injustice, he would have attained an extremely praiseworthy level. Just as we now say in the prayer, "God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob,” so we would have said, "God of Job” (Pesikta Rabbati 47:20).
    The whole time that Job opposed his friends and his friends opposed him, the Attribute of Strict Justice was poised. Only when he was appeased by them and prayed for them did the Holy One, Blessed is He, return to him (Pesikta Rabbati 38).
    It begins simply, but unrea-sonably. Job, "a whole-hearted and upright man, one that feared God, and shunned evil” (Job 1:1) finds himself in the midst of a not so gentlemanly wager between God and Satan. This could be a revival of the serpent’s temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, particularly since Job lives a life of extraordinary blessing. The difference, however, is that Job’s version, up to this moment, reads more like "Paradise Found.” That is, knowing the inclination toward evil that resides in the heart of every man, Job resisted, and pursued the good. The rewards: of material opulence (seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses) and family (seven sons and three daughters) were kingly, if not profligate.

    139. Daily Bible Study - Aaron
    Offers a biblical biography of the Israelite priest.
    http://www.execulink.com/~wblank/aaron.htm
    Aaron
    Aaron was the firstborn son of Amram and his wife/aunt Jochebed, who were Levites (Exodus 2:1; 6:20). He was born during Israel's time in Egypt, 83 years before the Exodus, 3 years before his brother Moses , and about 10 years after his sister Miriam (Exodus 2:1,4; 6:20; 7:7). Aaron married Elisheba, a daughter of Amminadab, who was of the tribe of Judah (Exodus 6:23; 1 Chronicles 2:10). They had 4 sons - Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. When the time of the Exodus came, God sent Aaron (Exodus 4:14, 27-30) out to meet the returning Moses (who had just spent 40 years out in the Sinai with Jethro ), to join with him in their assigned task. Aaron was to be the spokesman for Moses, who was unable to speak well, perhaps from stuttering (Exodus 6:30; 7:1-2,9-10,19). Although Moses was the leader, it was Aaron who did the actual speaking to Pharaoh through the events leading to the Exodus, and the crossing of the Red Sea. Aaron was a faultless servant with his brother, at least at first. At Rephidim, when Moses overlooked the battle with the Amalekites from a nearby hill with the rod of God in his outstretched hand, it was Aaron and Hur (his brother-in-law, Miriam's husband), who held up Moses' tired arms until Israel's forces under Joshua won the battle (Exodus 17:8-13). Aaron's greatest lapse in judgment occurred while Moses was away on the mountain receiving the Ten Commandments from God. For whatever reason, Aaron gave in to the people's demands, and made that now-infamous golden calf for the people to worship (Exodus 32:4). When Moses returned, Aaron was sternly rebuked, but was forgiven by God after Moses prayed for him. Aaron came very close to being killed for that incident (Deuteronomy 9:20)
