The crusades beginning at the end of the eleventh century was the ultimate display of religious aggression. I have described this time of war as “convert or we’ll kill you” from both sides. Actually it was over territory however both sides used this to convert followers. Belief comes from the inner person, no one can force someone into a belief they do not consider true. There is no historical Biblical account of Abraham of David or anyone else forcing their faith onto anyone. Abraham’s family and even his servants accepted his God because they had witnessed what his God had done for Abraham through his faith. Genesis 15:6, “Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Question 38: Who was Moses’ Ethiopian wife?

Answer:

Commentators hold that the Ethiopian (or Cushite) woman mentioned in Numbers 12 as the wife of Moses, against whom Aaron and Miriam complained, was Zipporah. Their opposition is believed to have been caused by jealousy of her relatives and their influence.

Mizpah or Mizpeh was the name of several localities in Old Testament history. The word means "a watch-tower" and in literature the whole of the beautiful remark made by Laban to Jacob (Genesis 31:49) has been included in its meaning: "Elohiym watch between me and thee when we are absent one from the other."

Frequently asked questions and answers:

Question 36: What was manna?

Answer:

It is supposed that the manna of the Israelites was a saccharine exudation of a species of tamarisk, the sap of which was set flowing by an insect. Several trees yield manna, as the flowering ash of Sicily and the eucalyptus of Australia. In India a sweet exudation comes from the bamboo and a similar substance is obtained from the sugar-pine and common reed of the USA.

Question 34: What was the origin of the name “Jew”?

Answer:

The appellation "Jew" is derived from the patriarch Judah and was originally applied to all members of that tribe and also to subjects of the separate kingdom of Judah, in contradistinction to the seceding ten tribes, who retained the name of Israelites. During the captivity and ever since, the term "Jew" seems to have been applied indiscriminately to the whole race.
