The Torah in Numbers 29:12-34 requires the Israelite priests to sacrifice 70 bulls during the great feast of Sukkot-Asif. The question standing before most people who read this text is why 70?
In traditional interpretation found in rabbinic sources, we find the argument that 70 represents the 70 nations mentioned in Genesis 4. The concept revolves around the universality of YHWH in the mind of 2nd temple Judaism and the idea of the universal responsibility of Israel.
One of the most problematic subjects in Biblical literature and history is prophecy. What is a prophet and how do we know who is a true prophet of Elohim. Join Yoel in another study session where we explore the question as it is felt in the Tanakh, Dead Sea scrolls and Jewish literature.

Una examinación de la relación entre la luna nueva y el Shabbat en tiempos Bíblicos
“Es el día de luna nueva un Shabbat?” Ha sido una discusión entre grupos observantes de la Torah por muchos años”.
