1. New Article. Asher and the Sword
Question Concerning the Military Prowess of the Tribe of Asher
Â
Extract:
Let us present an alternative translation based on the above implications:
Deuteronomy 33:
29 [The Tribe of] Asher is yours, O Israel!
Who is like you, a people saved by the ALMIGHTY,
The shield of your help
And as for Asher, [his] sword [is the source of]Â your pride [uplifting]!
Your enemies shall submit to you,
And you shall tread down their high places.
This alternate translation is not intended to replace the regular one but rather after the manner of Biblical Learning comes to addd another facet to it. It fits the simple literal meaning of the Hebrew words!
We thus have strong indications that the blessings of military prowess were to be especially applicable to the Tribe of Asher.

The Names "Yeshuron" and "Asher"

Extract:
On each stone was engraved the name of one of the Israelite Tribes. In addition, according to one opinion (Chizkuni), were engraved the names Abraham, Isaac, Yaacov, and Shivtei Yishurun (Tribes of Jeshurun i.e. of Israel). The script for these additional titles was spread over the stones so that part of one word would be on one stone and the next part on the stone that came after it.Â

3. New Article and YouTube Clip. Apology to Obama
Previously we referred to Obamas a Backstabbing Edomite. Obama is more of an Ishmaelite. Someone who is of one type may validly be offended if classified as of another.Â
