yered,(avi)g'dor, chever, (avi)socho, yekusiel, (avi)zanoach, tovyah, shmayah, nesanel, moshe. see megilah 13a and begining of vayikra rabba. Another 2 questions: 1)There was a city in Eretz Yisrael called Dan. What are two other names of that city? 2)Who wrote sefer Mishlei?(it wasn't shlomo)
Posted 3 months ago # -
longarekel- well, that was more than I expected :)
speaking of which, at the risk of being personal, do you wear one? (a longarekel, I mean) :) just curious2) Unless I'm really missing something here, I don't see how it could be anyone but Shlomo, as it says in the first passuk. If you mean who WROTE IT DOWN, then Chizkiyahu and his students, I believe.

writersoul: Correct it is a gemara in Bava Basra 15.
Posted 3 months ago # -
writersoul: No I don't, out of respect for my father who does not wear one. However I believe it is proper to do so. See my post levush yehudi for further info. You are correct as sam points out. Another question: Why in nevi'im rishonim(and tehillim)is David's name spelled without a yud, and in Nevi'im achronim and throughout Divrei Hayamim it is spelled with a yud? I have an answer but you might have a better one. Anyway, should make for interesting research :)
Posted 3 months ago # -
Rashi in Divrei HaYamim(2:15) because of his great honor. There is also an idea when a a yud is added it is a good thing if it is taken away it is a bad thing. By the nessim the yud was taken away,by Yehoshua it was added.

Thanks sam, but why do we only honor him in divrei hayamim? And why the letter yud? (agav, rashi in divrei hayamim is probably not rashi)
Posted 3 months ago # -
The yud is first letter of HaShem's name and olam habah was created with it.

Who can tell me which 4 nissim in mitzraim did not last 7 days?

grasshopper, makas bechoros, chosheich and barad ?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Matsav were those guesses or do you have a source or a svara? Some of them are correct.
Posted 3 months ago # -
i'm sure for chosheich and makas bechoros...
chosheich 3 days (parashas bo )
makas bechoros 1 night if i remember ... ;)Posted 3 months ago # -
BUMP!!!!! This thread needs revival!
Who was Chushai Ha'Arki and how did he prevent a tzaddik from doing a great sin?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Friend of Dovid Hamelech's, Dovid was going to pretend to worship an idol so people wouldn't question why Hashem was making bad things happen to good ppl... Chushai prevented him from doing it.
What was Yirmiyahu's wife's name?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Wasn't he not supposed to get married?
However, I think I heard somewhere that his wife was Chuldah. Kinda out of thin air.What was the distinctive physical feature of all kings descended from Dovid Hamelech, used to help determine if they were worthy of being king?
Posted 3 months ago # -
The crown would fit. What was another name for Boaz? Why was Daniel thrown to the lions?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Boaz was Ivtzan
Posted 3 months ago # -
Boaz = Ivtzan
Daniel was thrown to the lions for disobeying Koresh (Daryavesh?)'s decree that for 30 days all must bow to him.
writesoul: That could be, I was thinking of Tzira.
Posted 3 months ago # -
Tzira? Please explain. Who was Nevuchadnetzar's son, and what did he do? (Only one action of his is mentioned in tanach.)
Posted 3 months ago # -
"Ben Tzira" was written by Yirmiyahu's son, I confirmed that "Tzira" was Yirmiyahu's wife. (Okay, that wasn't Tanach.)
Wasn't Nevuchadnetzar's son Evil Merodoch?!
Posted 3 months ago # -
I think you meant Sira. It is not at all clear that Sira was Yirmiyahu's wife. I don't want to elaborate here. Do some more research and you'll know why. You're right about evil merodach. What did he do?

(Dovid Hamelech)Red hair?

Please provide at least two examples in Navi/Kesuvim of people where the pasuk *explicitly* states that they lived longer than 120 years.
The Wolf
Posted 3 months ago # -
Wolf: I know of Yehoyada and Iyov. Great riddle.(If there are others please post them.) Who in tanach is compared to a wolf? Do you know why?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Binyamin is compared to a wolf by Yaakov in the brachos in parshas Vayechi because he just like in a wolf he will attack in the morning and save his booty to divide in the evening. Same is with Binyamin, he had Shaul who killed out most of Amalek and then Mordechai much later who also killed out Amalek.
That is what I learned in 4th grade.
Posted 3 months ago # -
Good. Here's one you didn't learn in fourth grade: From which incident do we learn not to look at the face of a rasha?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Elisha tells Yehoram "If not for Yehoshafat's being here i wouldn't look or even glance at you."
You're right, I learned it in 9th!!Posted 3 months ago # -
Good. Here's one you didn't learn in ninth: Who is Keren Hapooch?
Posted 3 months ago # -
This is a guess -
Iyov's daughter?
Posted 3 months ago # -
whats the names of the other two daughters?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Yemima and Ketzia. I see we need to raise the bar a bit. Which sefarim in tanach do not mention the four letter name of Hashem? (There is more than one sefer, and I mean the name Yud and then Hai etc.)
Posted 3 months ago # -
well one is megilas esther
Posted 3 months ago # -
BTW about my question about the way to distinguish the kings of Yehuda, yes, longarekel, you're right, but followup: where did the crown come from and how did it fit them and not other people?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Dovid captured it from a war with Moav. It had a rod across the bottom, and only descendants of Dovid who were destined to rule had a corresponding groove on their heads.

shir hashirim does not explicitly mention hkb"h's name either

Who asked this question, in what context, and what is the answer?
Why was Esther zoche to rule over 127 countries?
Posted 3 months ago # -
bekitzur, correct!
And about the second part: what do you mean by the first question? The simple thing for the second one (if it's indeed two separate things) is that she was a descendant of Sarah who lived 127 years, but that seems too simple.....Where did Shaul hide when Shmuel announced to the people that he'd be king?
(Let your thoughts flow back to 6th grade...)Posted 3 months ago # -
Medrash Rabba Esther,Rabbi Akiva asked his tamidim to keep them awake,why did Eshter ruled over 127 countries?,he answered : Hashem said Sara lived 127 years so too Esther who is a daughter of Sarah should rule over 127 countries.

writersoul: I don't know where you are referring(hiddin among the keilim) kever Rachel or Gilgal?
Who did Saul ask before he took the position(to see if he was worthy)?Posted 3 months ago # -
Sam4321, can you develop the question? Is it pshat or a midrash?
Posted 3 months ago # -
It is a medrash quoted by Rashi.
Posted 3 months ago # -
longarekel and postsemgirl: There is a not so known pshat of Binyamin being an actual werewolf(peirush Rabbeinnu Ephraim-rishon).luf garu-Hebrew for werewolf. If you would like to see it inside let me know and I will post it.
Posted 3 months ago # -
The Urim V'Tumim.
Why did Elisha tell Naaman to go to the Yarden (of all rivers)?
Posted 3 months ago # -
Really? That is something I did NOT learn in 4th grade.
Posted 3 months ago # -
yep,a lot of people never heard that pshat. I made a mistake concerning the word loup garu,it is French for werewolf (not Hebrew).

"זאב אחד יש שקורין לוף גארו והוא בן אדם ומשתנה לזאב,
ובשעה שמשתנה לזאב רגליו יוצאין מבין כתפיו, כך בנימין בין כתפיו שכן, וזה
רפואתו של אותו זאב בשעה שנכנס לבית ואדם ירא ממנו יקח דשן הצבור באש
וישליך אילך ואילך ולא ינזק, כך היו עושין במקדש בכל יום היו משליכין דשן
אצל המזבח דכתיב 'ושמו אצל המזבח' (ויקרא ו ג), וכן הוא מנהג אדם שיהפך
תולדתו לזאב, כי הזאב נולד בשיניים, כלומר זה יהיה אוכל העולם. דבר אחר
לכך נולד בשיניים, לומר כמו שזה משונה כך יהיה משונה משאר בני אדם. וכן
בנימין אכל את אמו שמתה ממנו דכתיב 'ויהי בצאת נפשה כי מתה, ותקרא שמו
בן אוני' (בראשית לה יח)... וכמו שנהפך האדם לזאב אפילו שהוא משתנה לאדם
בכל שעה יש לו זנב, כך היתה רצועה יוצאת מחלקו של בנימין ונכנסת לתוך
חלקו של יהודה ועליה היה בנין בית המקדש" (לה , כז).Posted 3 months ago # -
Wow. I did not understand every word but I got most of them. That's amazing. I did not know that. Thanks Sam for sharing!
