The new priest Melchizidek presages a universal priesthood that is not limited to the nation of Israel, but like Jonah is preached to and is available to all of humanity if they repent and accept it. As we see in Gen.14, Ps.110, Heb.7, Jesus the new Melchizedek, like Jonah, takes this message of peace to all of the nations to offer them the chance to repent and not be destroyed.

In the case of the two suite-mates engaged in the heated debate about their ethical topic, the impasse of "the Bible is full of contradictions" vs. "there are no contradictions in the Bible" argument cn be settled by looking in Goldingay and the diverse views of marriage to foreign women in Ruth, Deuteronomy and Ezra-Nehemiah. Using this, we can certainly offer a carefully reasoned and well supported intervention into this dispute over character of the Old Testament and Hebrew Bible. Many of the seeming contradictions that we see are simply due to a lack of understanding of the language and the context of the Hebrew Bible. By immersing themselves in the concept of the Hebrew Bible, we will then understand the seeming different principles as expressed in the opinions about foreign wives.
Intermarriage threatens the peoples' identity by compromising their exclusive relationship with the God of Israel.

Hebrew Bible is also known as Mikra or TaNaKh, which is an acronym that refers to the traditional Jewish division of the Bible into the Torah the teaching, Nevi'im the prophets and Ketuvim the writings. It is the founding document of the people of Israel that gives descriptions of its origins, history and visons of how a just society should be. This paper will give an explanation of how the
This obscure, nameless darshan's interpretation of B. Yevamot 62b has been particularly enduring, yet, according to Satlow, "while such an interpretation of this sugya makes a good sermon, it makes poor history ...
