In the Middle...Jonathan, That is very interesting!<br /><br />In the Middle Ages we find a hardening of the Biblical stereotypes of the righteous and the unrighteous, and Terah was classified with the latter because of Joshua 24:2. The moralistic tendency in the Roman Catholic Church during that time produced much "black and white" thinking. There was, however, some appreciation of the more subtle aspects of the Biblical narratives among scholars.Alice C.

Notice, also, the obsolete spelling of the name T'Hare (or T'Hara), at a time when the Bible was typically read in Latin, and the English language was in a rapid state of development. Does this suggest more to you in terms of an understanding of the root word of Terah's name, T'Hera being related to Hor/Horim?Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829257111579899926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-664772591600632482015-06-10T10:16:55.480-07:002015-06-10T10:16:55.480-07:00The whole canon is inspired and has been superinte...The whole canon is inspired and has been superintended by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is self-interpreting. We must use our God-given intelligence to sort through the material, context by context.Alice C.
