Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Jewish atheists is more prevalent than many are aware of, especially by Christians, since, as far as I am aware of, they don’t have an equivalent. 050
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 22/02/2025My anti-vax neighbor had 12 chickens, plus one we gave him as a birthday gift. The one we gave him was vaccinated against bird flu. The others weren’t. Now he has one chicken left, which produces a single egg every other day. Will he learn?media.tenor.coma man wearing glasses and a blue t-shirt with the number 2 on the frontALT: a man wearing glasses and a blue t-shirt with the number 2 on the front 140

Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 18/02/2025In this week's #Torah portion, we begin to look at the different types of acceptable slavery. Just as the "10 commandments" [sic] endorses owning human property, the biblical texts explicitly accepts and demands it in different places. Different authors had different views. #EBAMeme #Mishpatim 021
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 18/02/2025In this week's #Torah portion, we read that a man who inadvertently causes the death of another will be put to death. Two books later, we read that one who does manslaughter has to participate in a "Running Man" style game where he can be killed if his pursuer catches him. #EBAMeme #Mishpatim 011
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 18/02/2025In this week's #Torah portion, we read about Joshua ben Nun. Who, in a later narrative, is called Hoshea, until Moses renames him as Joshua. Different author's narratives stitched together. #Mishpatim #EBAMeme 121
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 18/02/2025The "10 commandments [sic]" forbade one from coveting his co-religionist's "ahma". Likely because the human property listed couldn't be sold, once owned. In this week's #Torah portion, we learn about the "ahma". She's not a "maid servant", but a conjugal slave-girl. #Mispatim #EBAMeme 121

Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 20/01/2025In this week's #Torah portion, we read of the first 3 of the 10 plagues, which not only affected the Egyptians, but the Hebrews as well. That will teach them! #EBAMeme #Vaera 030
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 20/01/2025In this week's #Torah portion, YHVH introduces himself (several times! - different authors stitched together) and makes a claim that is different from the Genesis authors. The apologetics on this are excruciatingly to listen to! #EBAMeme #Vaera 030
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 18/01/2025In this week's #torah portion, we read of Moses commanded YHVH, and YHVH obeying Moses. Their relationship seems a bit...complicated! #Vaera #EBAMeme 020
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 04/01/2025This Friday is a Jewish fasting day, the 10th of Tevet, which is to mourn, among other things, the creation of the Septuagint (which has strange legends associated with that act), calling it a day equivalent to the day when the golden calf was made. A bit hyperbolic!media.tenor.coma man in a suit and white shirt is standing in the dark and says bit weird .ALT: a man in a suit and white shirt is standing in the dark and says bit weird . 140

Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 13/12/2024In this week’s #Torah portion, we read about the rape of Dinah. After the rape, it says the rapist loved the נערה. The LXX used παρθένος for “female youth”. This is the same word used in Isaiah 7:14, to replace עלמה which Christian translations replace with “virgin”. Based entirely on ideology. 061
Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I picked the last of our [Meyer] lemons for the year. Yes, they are lemons! We had about 600 lemons from one tree, meaning, we made a lot of juice and stored it in the freezer (and gave a lot of lemons away). 040

Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 03/12/2024The Gods of the bible were active beings who were always making their presence known, such as stopping the sun from circling the earth so their followers could kill more.

Elisha Ben Abuyah @elishabenabuya.bsky.social · 25/11/2024This week we have another Biblical Etiology - "How the land of Edom got its name". There is a lot of wordplay here. The eponymous relationship between Israel and Edom is portrayed through these two characters. #Ebameme #Toldot 010
