Nahor's two eldest sons were named Huz and Buz- Gen.22:20,21

Good thing that's a poetic figure of speech.

Another name for it, probably not too helpful, is galbanum gum. This figure is to teach us that our prayers are acceptable to God only through the righteousness of Christ and His work for us in the heavenly sanctuary.

Ezekiel 44: 23 contains the idea and explanation for this as well as for almost everything connected with the sanctuary services: the holiness and righteousness of God. "[The priests] should teach My people the difference beetween what is holy and unholy and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean."
A recurring theme is, "Be My holy people because I the Lord am holy and have separated you from other people to be Mine." Le. 20: 26.

I sure appreciate the feedback!

The name Nahor, Abraham's grandfather, means "snorer".

The new earth won't have any oceans- Rev.21:1

Once Ezekiel was sitting in his house when a big hand picked him up by the hair of his head and took him somewhere between heaven and earth. Ezekiel 8:3

That must have been one hairy experience. Hope he didn't lose any hair over the heavenly encounter.

Jochebed, Moses' mother, married Amram, Moses' father, who was her nephew. Does that make Moses and Amram cousins? Exodus 6:20

Oh, my goodness, Gail!! Where do you come up with this stuff, anyway? Not that I am complaining, you understand. By 21th Century American reckoning, I guess Moses, Aaron, and Miriam could be technically considered cousins, However, they WERE siblilngs!!

Morning Glory

LOL I find this pretty interesting stuff!

Thanks, Denise! You know if you ever find some weird fact in the Bible you are certainly most welcome to add it here!

Some of these things make me run to my Bible to see if it's REALLY there! I've read the Bible through a couple of times in my life from end to end and some of these facts are STILL new to me!

Will do! (If I find something weird, lol)

Pharaoh gave Joseph an Egyptian name- Zaphenath-Paneah Gen.41:45

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary - Cite This Source
Zaphnath-paaneah

the name which Pharaoh gave to Joseph when he raised him to the rank of prime minister or grand vizier of the kingdom (Gen. 41:45). This is a pure Egyptian word, and has been variously explained. Some think it means "creator," or "preserver of life." Brugsch interprets it as "governor of the district of the place of life", i.e., of Goshen, the chief city of which was Pithom, "the place of life." Others explain it as meaning "a revealer of secrets," or "the man to whom secrets are revealed."
