	Dan (Biblical figure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dan (דָּן "Judge", Standard Hebrew Dan, Tiberian Hebrew Dān) is one of the sons of Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant (Genesis 30:4).
		His name probably comes from Genesis 30:6 when Rachel states, "God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan."
		Little else is known of Dan, except that he is the patriarch of the Tribe of Dan.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Biblical Exegesis
		Exegesis aims at investigating the sense of Sacred Scripture; its method is contained in the rules of interpretation; its results are expressed in the various ways in which the sense of the Bible is wont to be communicated; its history comprises the work done by Christian and Jewish interpreters, by Catholics and Protestants.
		Figurative language is really a single, not a double, sign of the truth it conveys.
		Biblical words that do not fall under any of these classes carry merely the authority of the speaker, the weight of which must be studied from other sources.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Samson
		An angel of the Lord in the form of a man appears to the barren wife of Manue of the tribe of Dan and promises her that she shall bear a son who shall deliver Israel from the oppression of the Philistines.
		He prescribes abstinence on the part of both mother and son from all things intoxicating or unclean, and that no razor shall touch the child's head, "for he shall be a Nazarite of God".
		Because of certain resemblances some scholars have claimed that the biblical account of the career and exploits of Samson is but a Hebrew version of the pagan myth of Hercules.

	The Hebrews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The traditional Biblical narrative has twelve tribes descended from Jacob’s 12 sons leaving slavery in Egypt, wandering in the desert for forty years and then invading Canaan from their base in Transjordan.
		As there seems no reason why the Biblical authors would invent an undesirable foreign ancestry if it did not exist or at least was not believed to exist, it is interesting that the House of David (the messianic bloodline in Judaism and Christianity) is in part descended from Moabite royalty, the blood enemies of Israel.
		The tribe of Dan was one of the smallest and weakest.

		Their standard response is that just because there are all of these parallels doesn’t necessarily prove that Jesus wasn’t a real human figure who may have been just doing his best to “fulfill” all the ancient prophesies, and to “fit in” to the familiar legends about him.
		Biblical scholars of all stripes disagree as to the date of the mythical Jesus’ birth.

		Since, therefore, this book is not an historical narrative but a record of visions and revelations of God, we incline to regard John's being in Patmos, as well as his being in the day of the Lord, as a matter of spiritual vision, not of objective reality.
		Some of these parts have significance when specified separately, as we shall find in some of the messages to the churches; but in this opening Christophany it is better to leave them in their composite relationship, and not weaken the grand impression they make as a whole by undue attention to details.

	Archaeology and the Legitimacy of the Bible
		Following the lead of such pioneering figures as Yigael Yadin, who boasted that he went into the field "with a spade in one hand and a Bible in the other," Israelis paraded before a watching world the rock witness of their biblical heritage.
		Postmodernism, as a rebellion against western cultural tradition, influenced biblical revisionists to deconstruct the text of the Bible and biblical archaeologists to abandon the interpretations of the material culture made by their predecessors.
		One leader of this group of "new archaeologists," known as biblical "minimalists" because of their belief that the biblical accounts of early Israel lack a basis in history, is Israel Finkelstein, director of Tel-Aviv University’s Institute of Archaeology.

	Archived Issues
		The discovery provides an archaeological connection to the biblical references to the ruling dynasty established by King David approximately two centuries before the events that are mentioned in the inscription.
		The inscription thus helps confirm that the Philistines, whose origins were in Caphtor=Crete, in biblical tradition (See Amos 9:7), had largely assimilated to Canaanite culture in the centuries between their arrival and the dedication of the temple of Ekron.
		This is a controversial pick, because the interpretation of the discovery is far from settled; nevertheless, Israeli archaeologist Adam Zertal, who came across the ruins during an archaeological survey of the tribal region of Manasseh in 1980, still adheres to his interpretation.

	Jon D. Levenson:"Resurrection in the Torah"
		Moving easily among modern methods of biblical study, midrash and other traditional Jewish commentary, and traditional Christian commentary, his writings are influential well beyond the borders of Judaism itself, read with fascination by Christian exegetes and systematic theologians, and indeed by unbelievers and those of more distant religious affiliation.
		In the older Israelite culture, these two categories, individual and type, are united in the figure of the ancestor, a figure who, in some sense difficult for us modern westerners to grasp, encompassed his or her descendants in an inextricable linkage.
		It is also to invert the priorities of many biblical texts, from a number of genres and periods, and to miss the tension out of which the doctrine of resurrection of the dead will eventually arise.

	How Good are those Young-Earth Arguments: Hovind's 'Proofs' (continued)
		The biblical figure, unfortunately, is based on patriarchal life spans to which no right-thinking person could subscribe.
		Bailey spends several pages examining the figures of Genesis and of the above text, often turning up interesting subleties and odd relationships which expose the artificial nature of the biblical ages assigned to the patriarches.
		Therefore, the biblical age of the earth is a product of the literary reworking of a Mesopotamian tradition and not the result of a factual estimate.

		Recently, however, archaeologists and biblical critics have revealed a far more complicated picture of how biblical Israelites lived their religious lives.

		The project is still in its initial phase and it will have to be discussed and evaluated by various city, regional and state commissions before being approved.
		The decades-old debate on how to save Venice from water brought approval in 2003 of a vast project to build a flood barrier to ease the effect of high tides.
		Dubbed "Moses," after the Biblical figure who parted the Red Sea, the project calls for hinged barriers to be built in the seabed just off Venice that could be raised when high tides threaten the city.
