Printable ModeGeneza 12:6
|
12:6 Avram a strabatut tara pana la locul numit Sihem, pana la stejarul lui More. Canaanitii erau atunci in tara. Avraam a strabatut tara. In acea vreme Palestina era foarte impadurita. Vechile documente egiptene descriu drumurile ei ca fiind un cosmar pentru calatori. Inaintarea caravanei putea sa fie foarte inceata, avand in vedere marele numar de oameni si animale care il insoteau pe patriarh. Calatoria a fost, probabil, intrerupta de opriri dese pentru odihna. Dupa ce a traversat Galilea, peregrinii au ajuns in campia Esdraelonului, in care existau deja mai multe cetati canaanite puternice, ca Meghido si Taanah. Apoi ei au traversat creasta Carmelului si au intrat in regiunea deluroasa, care mai tarziu ii va apartine lui Efraim. Aici au facut ei prima oprire indelungata. Aceasta s-a facut, probabil, pentru ca Domnul i-a spus lui Avram ca ajunsese la sfarsitul calatoriei sale, si acum se afla in tara pe care i-a fagaduit-o El. Sihem. In alta parte a Vechiului Testament, acest loc mai este numit Sehem (Geneza 35,4, etc.). Situat pe partea vestica a intrarii intr-o vale ingusta, flancata de muntii Ebal si Garizim, el ocupa o importanta pozitie strategica. Astazi este un loc pustiu numit Balatah, aproape de Nablus. Sapaturile si dovezile documentare atesta ca Sihemul a fost o cetate infloritoare si intarita in cel deal doilea mileniu i.Hr., cand Avram si-a stabilit tabara in vecinatatea lui. Una dintre primele expeditii militare egiptene in Palestina, despre care s-a pastrat un raport clar, a fost indreptata chiar impotriva acestei cetati. Stela unui luptator egiptean care a servit sub regele Sen-Usert III (18781840 i.Hr.) din a douasprezecea dinastie descrie o campanie impotriva Sekemem-ului, denumirea egipteana pentru Sehem sau Sihem, si relateaza ca anticii bastinasi au fost invinsi. Pe timpul cand Avram a intrat in tara Canaanului, Egiptul exercita o mare influenta asupra vecinilor lor canaaniti. Desi Egiptul nu a exercitat un adevarat control politic asupra Canaanului, aceasta ultima tara era din punct de vedere economic dependenta de Egipt, care avea reprezentanti regali in principalele cetati ale sale. Acesti imputerniciti vegheau asupra intereselor economice ale Egiptului si indeplineau rolul de consilieri pe langa guvernatorii canaaniti locali. Aceasta era situatia politica pe care a gasit-o Avram in Canaan. Stejarul lui More. Ebraicul ’elon, literal ,,un copac mare”. RSV spune ,,stejar”. Probabil ca cuvantul este folosit aici intr-un sens generic si colectiv si poate ca se refera sau nu la un anumit copac. S-a sugerat ca este vorba despre o padurice de stejari. Aceasta parere este sustinuta de o referire pe care Moise o face mai tarziu la aceeasi localitate, folosind forma de la plural a lui ’elon, ,,copaci” (KJV, ,,campii”), fapt ce arata clar ca More avea mai mult decat un singur copac de acest fel (Deuteronom 11,30). Paduricea nu a fost identificata, insa trebuie sa fi fost in imediata vecinatate a Sihemului, dupa cum arata acest text si cel din Deuteronom 11,29, 30. More inseamna ,,invatator”. Vechii traducatori evrei ai LXX l-au redat prin cuvantul grecesc hupselen, ,,semet”. Comentatorii au incercat sa explice numele More ca o indicatie ca Avram a inteles ca el avea sa fie acolo ,,invatat” de Dumnezeu, sau ca paduricea apartinea unui invatator cu renume. Canaanitii. Daca Avram ar fi acceptat sa fie condus intr-o tara nelocuita ale carei pasuni nu ar fi trebuit sa le imparta cu altii, ar fi gresit. Poate ca acesta este motivul pentru care s-a adaugat declaratia ,,Canaanitii erau atunci in tara”. Aflandu-se ca strain in mijlocul unui popor strain, Avram nu putea sa priveasca tara ca proprietatea lui si sa o ia, intr-adevar, in stapanire (vezi Evrei 11,9.13). El putea face acest lucru numai prin credinta. |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
