I am under no illusions about what is going to happen in the future, and that the end is probably only a few months away. It is so sad to see what was once a very healthy and strong man to now what is a very skinny man with a big frame. He is 55.
How Much Did David Pay for Ornan's Threshingfloor? Claimed Contradiction: II Samuel 24:24 says that David paid 50 shekels of silver to purchase the threshingfloor of Ornan, yet I Chronicles 21:25 says that he paid 600 shekels of gold for this property. This supposed contradiction, like many others, rests on the shaky foundation of cursory reading.
Jacob requested that he be paid from the flocks and herds, all of the ring-streaked, speckled, spotted, and black sheep and cattle, to which Laban gladly agreed, saying, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word (Genesis 30:34).n anger Jacob said this (Genesis 30:2) to Rachel when she demanded children of him. In all the sorrows and jealousies that clouded Jacob's house, the Old Israel did indeed believe in God, a fact increasingly clear as the story of Jacob unfolds.
