Did you know that every seventh year the Hebrews were not to plant anything?

Do you know what the significance of that was on the secular level?

It was a form of pest control.
They had a golden jubilee every fifty years when all the slaves went free. Slavery did not pass from generation to generation in the Bible. This practice began with the Muslims.

Is that like calling someone a "pencil pusher"?
The hunters gathers plundered the produce of the farmers. If the pencil pusher uses his pencil to steal the produce of productive people then the term may apply.

Genesis 36:15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
Genesis 36:16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
Genesis 36:17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
Genesis 36:18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.


[I think it was] Matthew Henry who pointed out that the Muslims had royalty in their blood before the Jews did.

The Muslims are the descendants of Abraham with Sarah's Egyptian Handmaid Hagar. After Ishmael was born then Sarah had a son. These are real people, this is also an allegory. This is one reason people get confused is because God is able to take real people and a real story about those people and turn this into an allegory that we can learn from.

Genesis 17:20
"As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

Galatians 4 Hagar and Sarah
…29 At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” 31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.…

Oops! My bad! Sorry!

It was the Edomites, not the Muslims, that had royalty in their blood before the Jews.

Thanks for the correction!
