Onan was greedy and selfish because he wanted inheritance for himself and the family, which made him to spill semen on the ground when having intercourse with his brother's wife.

3. Exodus 21:22-23
This verse has been used as a proof-text to prohibit abortion. Based on the text itself, the verses suggest that if a miscarriage happens and a child is lost, the adversary should simply be fined. Additionally, the context of the passage shows that if an injury occurs in this process then the penalty is determined depending on the extent of the injury. In this case, the passage is almost conclusive in forbidding against abortion. The text suggests that if a pregnant woman is forced into premature labor and accidental delivery through the actions of an antagonist, the antagonist will be fined. However, if any injury/harm occurs, the antagonist is penalized depending on the extent of the injury including death for death.

However, the narrator eventually comes to acknowledge his ignorance after the blind man presents him with matters as seen from his point-of-view. John 14:22 applies perfectly in this situation, considering that it promotes the concept that individuals are probable to express more appreciation toward the world as a whole and toward things that previously seemed uninteresting. James 3:16 also applies in this situation because it emphasizes that jealousy and

For the very first time ever, Messiah -- the famous musical oratorio -- had been staged with its composer, George Frideric Handel acting as conductor.

(Byrd and Byrd, 1993) The process of healing can be found, for example, in Luke 13:10-17, which refers to a woman who has been crippled for eighteen years. The healing takes place by the laying of hands on the women by Christ. In John 5:1-18 we have the story of a seriously ill man placed at pool waiting for healing. This episode stresses the importance of listening to Christ's instruction and
Richard Nelson's Presentation Of Deuteronomistic History Books The beginning of DH's history saw him incorporate the existing book of Deuteronomy 1-3, 31, 34 where he furnished it with an enclosing framework.

Since DH
Biblical Archaeology - Jericho The story of the attempt to match up the archaeology of ancient Jericho with the account given in the Hebrew Bible has come to be regarded as something of a cautionary tale in the history of Biblical archaeology. Laughlin in Archaeology and the Bible (2000) invokes Jericho in precisely that way, as the most generalized example that he can find to warn against trying to force archaeological
