| ARTICLES RELATED TO Book of Tobit | | | |  Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Sexuality in Christian demonology - Lust in demonsLust in demons is a controversial theme for Christian demonology. As usual, scholars disagree on the subject.
On one hand, it is considered that demons can feel sexual desire, experience pleasure, fall in love, be jealous and passionate, hate, and lust is an inherent quality of their nature. On the other hand, other demonologists consider that demons cannot feel desire or love, less jealousy or passion, and use lust as a means to induce people to sin.
Augustine of Hippo (5th century), Hincmar (early French theologian, archbisho ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Psalms - Composition of the Book of Psalms The Book of Psalms is divided into 150 Psalms, each of which constitutes a religious song or chant, though one or two are long and may constitute a set of related chants. When the Bible was divided into chapters, each Psalm was assigned its own chapter. Psalms are sometimes referred to as chapters, though their individuality antedates the chapter assignments by at least 1,500 years.
The organization and numbering of the Psalms differs slightly between the (Masoretic) Hebrew and the (Septuagint) Greek manuscripts:
Psalms 9 ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Books of Samuel - Tribes and peoples Although most traditional interpretations of Jewish history view the Israelites as the ancestors of both the Kingdom of Israel and that of Judah, which arose only after David's rule, and Hebrews as an alternative name for them, the text makes a strong distinction between Hebrews, Judahites, and Israelites:
Israelites consistently refers to Saul's forces. It also is used to refer to the supporters of the rebellions against David's reign, in contrast to his supportes.

While Shaitan (شيطان, from the root šṭn شطن) is an adjective (meaning "astray" or "distant") that can be applied to both Man ("AlIns", الإنس) and Jinn, Iblis is the personal name of the Shaitan who is mentioned in the Quranic account of Genesis, and whose origin is unclear. ...

Jerome - Translations.
Jerome was a noted scholar of Latin at a time when that statement implied a fluency in Greek. He knew some Hebrew when he started his translation project, but moved to Bethlehem to perfect his grasp of the language and to strengthen his grip on Jewish scripture commentary. A wealthy Roman aristocrat, Paula, founded a monastery for him in Bethlehem - rather like a research institute, today - and he completed his translation there. He began in 382 by correcting the existing Latin language ver ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Sexuality in Christian demonology - The sexuality of demons To Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Jews there were male and female demons (Jewish demons were mostly male, but Lilith was female). In Christian demonology and theology, although the belief in incubi and succubi is accepted, the matter of the sexuality of the demons is not so easy.
Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), as well as Ludovico Maria Sinistrari (17th century), believed in male and female demons.
Authors who believed in demons of opposite sex assigned them a heterosexual tendency, even adult men seducing adolescent boys by means of pederasty; the only de ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Psalms - Authorship and ascriptions Traditionally the Psalms were thought to be the work of David, but many modern scholars see them as the product of several authors or groups of authors, many unknown. Most Psalms are prefixed with introductory words (very different in the Masoretic and Septuagint traditions) ascribing them to a particular author or saying something about the circumstances of their composition; only 73 of these introductions claim David as author. Since the Psalms were written down around the 6th century BCE, nearly half a millennium after David's reign (about 1000 BCE), they doubtless depended on ora ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Bible - The Introduction of chapters and verses ; see Tanakh for the Jewish textual tradition.
The Hebrew Masoretic text contains verse endings as an important feature. According to the Talmudic tradition, the verse endings are of ancient origin. The Masoretic textual tradition also contains section endings called parashiyot, which are indicated by a space within a line (a "closed" section") or a new line beginning (an "open" section). The division of the text reflected in the parashiyot ...

The first story is in Hebrew; then Aramaic is used from ch. 2:4, beginning with the speech of the "Chaldeans" through chapter seven. Hebrew is then used from chapter eight through chapter twelve. Three sections are preserved only in the Septuagint, and are considered apocryphal by Protestant Christians and Jews, and deuterocanonical by Catholic and Orthodox Christians.

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Book of Daniel - Dating Traditionally, the book of Daniel was believed to have been written by its namesake during and shortly after the Babylonian exile in the sixth century BC. While most conservative Christians and Orthodox Jews still assert this as a realistic date, the scholarly consensus is that archaeology and textual analysis argue for a considerably later date.
Scholarship on the dating of the Book of Daniel largely falls into two camps, one dating the book in its entirety to a single author during the desecration of the Jerusalem Temple (167-164 BC ...

Septuagint - Jewish use.
Jewish attitudes toward translations of their scriptures developed with time. By the 2nd century BC, it was often necessary for the readings in the synagogues to be interpreted in Babylonian Aramaic, producing the need for the targumim, though one Talmud writer forbids their use except for foreigners. A later Talmudic injunction by Rabbi Simon ben Gamaliel said that Greek was the only language into which the Torah could be accurately translated. The Septuagint found widespread use in the ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Psalms - Use of the Psalms in Jewish ritual The Mosaic ritual set out in the books of the Pentateuch or Torah makes no provision for the service of song in the worship of God. The earliest references to the use of singing in Jewish worship are in relation to David, and to this extent the ascription of the Psalms to him may express a general if not a specific truth.
Some of the titles given to the Psalms in their ascriptions suggest their use in worship:
Some bear the Hebrew designation shir (Greek ode, a song). Thirteen have this title. It means the flow of ...

| | | | | Book of Tobit: Encyclopedia II - Tithe - Tithing in the Bible The practice of regular tithes was not established until after Exodus. Tithes were common throughout the ancient Near East, as well as in Lydia, Arabia, and Carthage.
Tithes were not adopted by the Christian church for over seven centuries. Although rejected, they were mentioned in councils at Tours in 567 and at Mâcon in 585. They were formally recognized under Pope Adrian I in 787. Tithing in Christian churches today is frequently preached from the pulpit, but denominations and sects view tithing differently. As tithing was only a ...

Tithe - England.
The right to receive tithes was granted to the English churches by King Ethelwulf in 855. The Saladin tithe was a royal tax, but assessed using ecclesiastical boundaries, in 1188. Tithes were given legal force by the Statute of Westminster of 1285. Adam Smith criticised the system in The Wealth of Nations (1776), arguing that a fixed rent would encourage peasants to farm more efficiently. The Dissolution of the Monasteries led to the transfer of many tithe rights from the Church to secular ...
