Discuss 1 Chronicles 5

Hi karla. That's a good question & to add to the confusion, I'll throw in Numbers 10:29.

In Exodus 2:18, we read his name as Reuel & this means "friend of El (God)". This was very likely his given name.

In Exodus 3:1, Jethro (or, Yithro) is from the word, 'Yether', meaning 'his excellence'. So it seems that Jethro is the same person as Reuel, but Reuel was his given name & Jethro may have been a secondary name or honorific title that others might have called him by. As an example from the New Testament, we read of Simon who was also known as Peter ( Matthew 4:18); again known by two names (Simon, Luke 22:31; Peter, Matthew 8:14; Simon Peter, John 13:6).

Then in Numbers 10:29, some believe that Hobab is yet another name for Reuel/Jethro, adding to the confusion, and so several opinions have been given to interpret that 'anomaly'. However, I see it simply as: that Hobab was Reuel's (or Raguel's) son, as Raguel (Reuel) was Moses' father-in-law. This type of family tree descriptions can also be found in many other passages, including 1 Chronicles 5:14, Nehemiah 11:7.

I see that they are mutually exclusive. 'Birthright' being the expected rights & privileges that come to someone because of his/her birth; in the Bible seen given to an offspring because he is the firstborn ('a right by birth'). See also 1 Chronicles 5:1,2 for passing on, or conferring that birthright because of the Will of the father.

'Blessing' being the verbal expression of love, care, appreciation, praises & prayer for the one being blessed. Genesis 24:60; Genesis 31:55; Joshua 14:13; Leviticus 9:22 as some examples.

Unrelated, but here Micah is pronounced just as it's spelled;however, one of the King's wives Micah was pronounced Michael.

It doesn't help the baby for you to be a nervous wreck. Calm yourself, sleep better, get relatives to help with what they can.

Satan is a destroyer of peace. Start asking God for angelic support in keeping your home safe from spiritual warfare.

Here are your scriptures to stand on.

Psalm 9:10

Philippians 4:7

1 Chronicles 5:20 (2nd half)

Verse 20 shows the requirements to receive help from God is to call out to Him in prayer and trust in God.

is it good take something which does not belong to you fellows friend?

I love it questions from the Bible to test my knowledge

To pastor Simon Sircar. My humble belief is that in Rev.20:8 referring to gog is a spirit working in the northern countries .if you put your question in Google you will find sources that will help you. I think it is referring to the battle for Jerusalem in future. I believe it has nothing to do with Gog mentioned in Charon.5:4

I need to know any relation among 1Cronicles 5:4 & Revelation 20:verse 8.please help me.

Very good book talking about the family tree and their desscendants and how Reuben did a defiling act and lost his as first born so it went to Joseph.
