Old Testament

Welcome to my revised blog. Hokmah (Hebrew of course for “wisdom” which I am sure you knew) as a blog has been in existence since 2012. It has always featured topics on Philosophy and Ethics. It is still used by students world wide ( I jest not). I log between 250 to 600 hits a month on the site, so although the site is quite old and no new posts are added, I have no plans to retire it.

However the Old Testament studies are a new venture for Hokmah and are designed to support, but not replace, the talks that I am currently giving in my retirement. Below is the index for Old Testament topics

A way in to the Book of Proverbs

Philo of Alexandria

Josephus (Jewish Roman Historian)

The Scrolls from the Dead Sea

Looking at the Septuagint, but what is it?

Masada

Behind the Book of Genesis

Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel

The puzzle of Genesis 14
