Are Study Bibles worth it? Study Bibles are an investment, but in my view, they are worth it, just as much for our daily reading as for topical or themed studies.

Not Knowing But Still Going – Jocelyn-Anne Harvey
The biblical account of Noah is found in Genesis 6-10, four short chapters, where a powerfully dramatic event is told in a very prosaic manner.

Yahweh was the personal, covenant name of God, the name by which He wanted to be known by His people. It is the name that expresses His character as dependable, faithful, and trustworthy and the name that is linked to His redeeming acts in Israel’s history. Whereas, Rapha or Rophe means heal, cure, restore, or to make whole.
