Okay.I'm curious to hear from those who take the Genesis account literally.
thanks for your perspective! I wondered about that story as well as how it relates to ethnicity for those who take it literallyOkay.
For the record though, Genesis doesn't say what their ethnicity was.
You may as well be wondering what we think the color of their eyes were.
It's an interesting question though.
I just think ethnicities came later -- specifically from Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
I never thought about it before.thanks for your perspective! I wondered about that story as well as how it relates to ethnicity for those who take it literally
Yes. All have a common ancestor.And all are descended from those two, or
what is it you are believing in
thanks!!I never thought about it before.
All I know is that they say the gene pool was so pure, you could marry your sister and have healthy children.
It wasn't until the Exodus that close marriages were made taboo, due to the gene pool being contaminated.
I'm curious if you make any attempts to use Biblical language instead of modern American in your everyday life?I thought you knew I believe that!

It must be an odd feeling to know there is a true primordial language that was reacquired by 17th century English speakers then slowly drifted away again.
Now the image of AV1611Vet as a Shakespearean character is stuck in my head. (I know it'd be a funny, if insulting to atheists play anyway).
Just wondering if academians who believe Moses authored the book of Genesis conjure images of them as Moses in your head?Now the image of AV1611Vet as a Shakespearean character is stuck in my head.

There's never a ship

Well, I do now... but not really, I guess ancient Israelites don't have the same visual and auditory reminder that Shakespeare has given us for Jacobian English.Just wondering if academians who believe Moses authored the book of Genesis conjure images of them as Moses in your head?
If Moses died in deuteronomy, how could he have written the Pentateuch? AKA Torah/Law???Just wondering if academians who believe Moses authored the book of Genesis conjure images of them as Moses in your head?
He had forty years to write it.If Moses died in deuteronomy, how could he have written the Pentateuch? AKA Torah/Law???
Thanks for the info!He had forty years to write it.
Remember? they wandered in the wilderness for forty years?
And if you're referring to this passage at the end of Deuteronomy ...
Deuteronomy 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
Joshua probably wrote those last eight verses.
