MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Laura Miller: Ancestral cabbage plants are believed to have originated somewhere around the Eastern Mediterranean area of Europe
Rachel Ringler: In fact the original cherry tomato, about the size of a pea, was wild and found in Peru, Ecuador and northern Chile. Those tiny wild tomatoes were then domesticated in Mexico more than 1,300 years ago and then brought to the old world via the conquering Spaniards.

SIGAL ELIYAHU: Patience is required to express your deepest desires and dreams. Turning inward through meditation, yoga, or martial arts can help restore balance.

Menachem Posner: And one more note: It is permitted to ask non-Jewish household help to wash the dishes on Shabbat. If they choose to use hot water and/or a sponge, that is their prerogative. Since the act of washing dishes itself is permitted, the methods they choose to employ is not our concern.

John: Perhaps the most notable change in the post-exilic period is the, "dissolution of the tribal unions," and the growth in importance of, "individual families (father's houses)….After the exile these are the foundations of the new community. If previously the elders owed their authority to the position which they occupied in the clans and tribes, this is now based on the special position of their families within the people itself." (Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, pg. 658)

AlHaTorah.org: Josephus also relates how, even in his own time, it was a custom for people to take their household idols when emigrating. Ibn Ezra says more explicitly (and more radically) that Rachel (and the other wives and children) had learned idolatrous worship from her father and had not yet totally forsaken it.

"This is what the LORD says: 'A small voice is heard in Ramapoc, drowning and great gasping, Virginia Millano Evangelista Fabro~Rivera working overtime for her children and refusing to rest because they are Persian Exiles'" (Jeremiah 31:15, New International Version).

147: I suggest that you take a look at some of the websites about public exceutions in Iran. 
Something tells me, that probably not much has changed in their methods since the days of Vashti’s excecution.
Former Queen Vashti now Vashti Charlatans have been trending in my sphere of the Cosmos for awhile now. I posit It has something to do with India opposing being absorbed by Iran. I could care less if Bene Ephraim are seized by Benjamin and aren't included in the Israeli census. I could care less if Bnei Menashe demand that Bene Ephraim pronounce "Shibboleth" or Risk Existential Expulsion. Doesn't make any sense, but my intention isn't for anybody to understand. That's what happens when Zilpah serves Rachel and Leah marries Esau.

THE LOST ART OF TRIBAL DOMINIONISM

YOEL ELITZUR: Ephraim was seized by Benjaminites
MICHELE ALPERIN: H. Tadmor argued that in the biblical period, Nisan was the new year in the kingdom of Judea while Tishrei was new year in the northern kingdom of Israel.

TESSA SANCHEZ: Learning from Jack and Prinna how to practice hospitality changed the trajectory of the Yoshidas' life and equipped them to be bearers of the good news. Prinna said inviting people into one's home breaks down barriers and allows the Japanese to relax, lower their guard and release the formality characteristic of Japanese society.
Paul Elie: Some would say that these encounters are photo ops as much as anything else–gestures that bind no one, leave doctrines unaltered, and make nothing happen. There's some truth to that–and yet, when considered against the long history of popes disdaining temporal leaders and forbidding ordinary Catholics to encounter non-Catholic others, they are signs of life.

Ari Shvat: Stuffed animals, dolls and toys which are not full-featured detailed replicas of people or animals are not idolatry and are allowed, unless they’re made for religious purposes.

Amnon Bazak: "terafim" were likely used by the pagans for fortune-telling.
Jonathan Frankel: The legal owner of hereditary property rights within a family was demarcated by the possession of familial idols. The idols represented a discrete and irrevocable icon of control and deference to authority within the family unit and for public recognition. 🐘


Erin D. Darby: Rachel is the mother of Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, which form the core of the northern polity of Israel, and through Bilhah, of Naphtali and Dan. Thus, the story of her taking the teraphim is meant to explain the origin of this cultic item in the north. 

Tamar Kadari: Rachel had taken the idols and placed them in the cushion on her camel's back. A miracle was performed for her, the idols were transformed into cups, and therefore Laban did not find them (Gen. Rabbah 74:9). These midrashic expositions cast Rachel's act in a positive light. She did not want to adhere to the paganism of her father's house, but rather sought to prevent Laban from engaging in idolatry. This exegetical direction is supported by the divine aid she received in the miraculous concealment of the idols from Laban.

A: Hi, I live near the Suburban Nyack College, have visited Risen King Alliance, and attended Alliance Theological Seminary for a semester. I'm Filipino~American. I share(d) the Gospel on Facebook Messenger with a local Thai~American friend named Timothy who considers himself Buddhist, although he's curious about Christianity. Sometimes, he inquires publicly for elucidation. Told him about Water Baptism and Fire Baptism, among other things. I've become curious about Thailand, in return, which is currently experiencing a Revolution.




MIKET: Merton died in a room in Bangkok, Thailand, where he had journeyed for a conference of monks from East and West. He was found lying on the floor on his back with a large standing electric fan lying diagonally across his body. Though the blades had stopped running, the current was still operating, leaving a large brown streak halfway up his side.





Thammasak Aueragsakul: It's traditional Persian & Thai's style.








Tom Super: Deep-fried chicken wings have long been a staple of Southern cooking. But the concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. The guys liked them so much that the Bellissimos put them on the menu the next day. Served with celery slices and bleu cheese sauce, "Buffalo Wings" were an instant hit.




Neil Asher Silberman, Israel Finkelstein, David Ussishkin, and Baruch Halpern: The Book of Joshua (12:21) specifically mentions the defeat of the king of Megiddo and the allotment of his territory to the tribe of Manasseh;

JACQUELINE SCHAALJE: Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh

NETANYA MUNICIPALITY: thanks to the Lord for giving them {Netan~ya, lot. "gift of God"} the ability to continue the legacy of the 12 tribes who settled in the Land of Israel, and particularly of the half~tribe of Manasseh, which settled in the region.

Stephen Epstein: Some went down the Mekong River into Vietnam, the Philippines, Siam, Thailand and Malaysia, while some of the Israelites moved to Burma and west to India.
