Friend you did not offend me, But one thing I do say, is That Ishmeal was not a Prophet. He was a agitator, why do you think Sarah told Abranham to kick him out of the house, Because he agitate his half brother Isaacc, & a true prophet will not agitate.

According to Christianity, Isaac was the one supposed to be sacrificed by Abrahan, his father.  But according to Islam, it was rather the older son Ishmael, who was Abraham's son by the slave Hagar.

His father, Joseph, was a carpenter and most men of that day stayed in same profession as their fathers. So yes, by birth he was a carpenter, the Bible never mentions anything about  Him doing any actual carpentry work though.

That's an awesome perspective, or interpretation.\n\nAccording to the script, "An Omer" was the amount God Himself told the folks to take for themselves, and that NONE was to be left in the morning...  So I guess that would be the amount needed for Moses to at LEAST strike a rock to make water shoot out for the People.\n(referenced at bottom, 1.)\n\nSeriously, though:\n\n"Manna" roughly translates to "WHAT (IS) IT?" in Ancient Hebrew, the supposed original language of the Bible.  \n(referenced at bottom, 2.)\n\nThe people had no idea what it was, just that it suddenly appeared, seemingly "from above".  They believed this to be a "GIFT" and ate of it.\n\nThe next thing you know, they're getting commandments directly from God Himself (all of which, in their original form, are profoundly simple and a good foundation for human coexistence)...  Sounds very similar to a Tryptophan-induced "revelation".  I've had similar revelations about The World, The Meaning of Life...  \n\nExodus 16:14 reads, something about a small round thing lying upon the ground after the dew was dried up.  There are types of mushrooms (tryptophans) that do indeed show up after dampness, and in the morning... \n(referenced at bottom, 3.)\n\nVery interesting possibility!\n\nGreat question.

In the Hebrew Bible:\n\nCaleb, the son of Jephunneh is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrew nation refuses to enter the "promised land" of Canaan. \nCaleb is the name of one of the three sons of Hezron of the Tribe of Judah. He is also called Chelubai (1 Chr. 2:9). His descendants are enumerated in that chapter (verses 18-20, 42-49). \nCaleb is the "son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah" (1 Chr. 2:50). Some would read the whole passage thus: "These were the sons of Caleb. The sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, were Shobal, etc." Thus Hur would be the name of the son and not the father of Caleb (ver. 19). \n\n\nCaleb, the son of Jephunneh is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrew nation refuses to enter the "promised land" of Canaan.\n\nWhen the Hebrews came to the outskirts of Canaan, the land they believed had been promised them by God, after having fled slavery in Egypt, Moses (the Hebrew leader) sent twelve scouts (or spies, meraglim in Hebrew) into Canaan to report on what was there. Ten of the scouts returned to say that the land would be impossible to claim, and that giants lived there who would crush the Hebrew army. Only two, Joshua and Caleb, returned and said that God would be able to deliver Canaan into the hands of the Hebrew nation.\n\nThe Bible records that, because of the testimony of the ten scouts, the Hebrews chose not to enter Canaan: for this disobedience, God caused them to wander in the desert for forty years before being allowed to enter Canaan and conquer it as their home. It is said that the only adult Hebrews allowed to survive these forty years and enter Canaan were Joshua and Caleb, as a reward for their faith in God. This story is recorded in the Book of Numbers.\n\nHe is mentioned again later, being more than 80 years old, talking about his thankfulness for God's blessings. (Joshua 14:6-11) The city of Hebron and its surrounding territory was assigned to him. He then declared that the one who conquered Debir (Kiriath-Sepher) should be given his daughter Achsah as a wife. The one winning this price was his nephew Othniel, who later became the first judge after Joshua. (Joshua 15:13-19)\n\nAs outlined in The Jewish Encyclopedia, Caleb exists on several levels. At the most basic level, "Caleb" signifies "dog" and may be the eponymous ancestor of the Calebite clan. At this level, his second "wife" Ephrath (I Chronicles ii. 19 and 50; iv. 4) may simply be a personification of the ancient Canaanite city of that name, awarded to the clan.\n\nTradition places Caleb's tomb near that of Joshua who, according to Joshua 24:30, is buried in Timnat Serah ( also known as Timnath-heres). The similarly named Palestinian village of Kifl Hares, located northwest of Ariel in the Samarian region of the West Bank, now encircles both tombs.

I thik that you may find that you are correct in your assumption.  I don't think it will validate the whole Bible... unless Noah carved his name in the boat!!  But I am with you on the Epic of Gilgamish.

This question is bound to get arguments started, but...\n\nAfter Cain killed Abel, God banished him.  Cain complained that he would be an outcast, and would be killed by whoever found him, so God marked Cain in such a manner that anyone who saw him would recognize that he was under the protection of God.  Some people believe that the mark remains, and use it to accuse black people of being marked as less.  But it really means that God's protection is marked on them.   \n\nHere is the text from Genesis 4.  See what you think:  \n\n"10 The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." \n\n 13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." \n\n 15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. \n\nSome people doubt this theory, and say that God created more couples than just Adam and Eve, and some of those must have been different races of man.  It doesn't really matter, because all of them except Noah's family would have been wiped out in the flood.  \n_____________________________\n\nThis is the account of Noah. \n      Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. \n\n7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. \n\n23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. \n\n18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth. \n 20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness. \n\n 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, \n       "Cursed be Canaan! \n       The lowest of slaves \n       will he be to his brothers." \n\n 26 He also said, \n       "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! \n       May Canaan be the slave of Shem. [b] \n\n 27 May God extend the territory of Japheth [c] ; \n       may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, \n       and may Canaan be his [d] slave." \n____________________________\n\nThe most important part of that text from Genesis 9-12 about Noah's family is this (the answer to your question), Genesis 9:19 "These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth." I included the rest to point out that, while many believe the marked brother was the cursed one, there is nothing scripturally to make one believe that.  The marked one was protected, not cursed!

In the Postdiluvium Period, Nimrod of Ancient Babylon was the first self-proclaimed king of the world as confirmed in the Holy Scriptures and cross confirmed in the "Sumerian Kings' List", a chronology of Mesopotamian Kings covering hundreds of thousands of years, including the Antediluvium Period, prior to our current Earth Age.  Historians totally reject the enormous dates claimed in these historical cuneiform tablets, because these dates do not fit well in the erroneous historical paradigm of linear history, and the current limited mindset of the Anthropological Orthodoxy.\n\nSee:\nThe antediluvian patriarchs and the Sumerian King List:\nhttp://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v12/i3/sumerian.asp\n\nFrom Genesis we read:  "Cush begat Nimrod, who was the first to be a despot on the earth. He was an overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight; wherefore the saying, Even as Nimrod, the overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight."

Harod. I may not be spelling that right. Are you just thumbing through the bible to ask all these questions.

Tell us a bit more about him.  Is he a prophet or a religious leader?  Is he the author of a religious book?\nThanks for the added info.  No, I can't say the name rings a bell.  Sorry and good luck.

Here are some other gems for you(posted these in another thread) \n\nProof of the 'love' of God in the bible\n\n"God" slaughtered innocent babies because of Pharaoh's stubbornness: "At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.” (Exod. 12:29)\n\n"God" had babies dashed to pieces and pregnant women ripped open: "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)\n\n"God" wanted children to be murdered as human sacrifices: "I let them become defiled through their gifts - the sacrifice of every firstborn - that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” (Ezek. 20:26)\n\n"God" threatened to have innocent children be devoured by wild animals: “I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.” (Lev. 26:22)\n\n"God" threatened to have children cannibalized: "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.” (Lev. 26:27-29)\n\n"God" ordered the genocide of women, children and babies: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”” (1 Sam. 15:2-3)\n\n"God" aborted fetuses and murdered children in answer to the prophet Hosea's prayer: "Give them, O Lord – what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry .... Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." (Hosea 9:14-16)\n\n"God" murdered a baby because of David's adultery: “Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the son born to you will die." (2 Sam. 12:13-14)\n\n"God" ordered people to kill their brothers, friends and neighbors: “Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" (Exod. 32:27

(From the New International Version): "Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly."\n\nJethro is talking to his son, Moses, and affirming that God is greater than any false gods that people may worship, because He rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Pharoah was the one who had "treated Israel (meaning the people) arrogantly", and was beseiged by plagues and ultimately killed because he refused to obey God's command to let them leave.

According to the Bible the first man was Adam. In Hebrew the word for man sounds like and may be related to the Hebrew word for ground.
