Goeth's Confusion?
Personally, I believe that Goeth was confused. Goeth obviously enjoyed Helen and in an odd way, cared about her. Goeth was instructed to believe that the Jews were animals, not people. By seeing Helen, and how helpful and smart she was, Goeth seemingly saw her as a human being. Judging by Goeth’s caring, yet abusive relationship with Helen, Goeth was confused because he saw Helen as a real person, not an animal. Goeth’s confusion of what to believe in causes him to act out in an abusive manner.
Throughout the movie, Goeth battles with his confusion and feelings towards Helen. Most of his life, Goeth is taught that people of the Jewish faith, are not people, but animals. When Goeth looks at Helen, he does not see an animal, but a person. An

    a. Yahweh is David’s leader, protector and provider. David describes Yahweh as the Shepard that leads him through the storms of life. In the beginning of the passage, the author speaks of how he does not want this shepherd, I believe this is due to the author not feeling worthy of the shepherd and all he provides, which makes the relationship so beautiful because it illustrates complete love and trust just like a sheep following his shepherd. The author illustrates how the staff of His shepherd comforts him through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. The author fears nothing because he know he is looked after and well cared for. The language throughout the entire passage speaks of a sheep to his shepherd, this theme can been seen through all of the Old Testament because the People of God lived a life led by Yahweh. David was known as a man after God’s own heart showing how close David was to Yahweh just as a sheep is very close to its shepherd.…

    To clarify the intent of Gods immutable being and the evidence is clear that the unseen God can be perceived as a trustworthy figure towards people, more specifically the Hebrews but can also be seen as a wrecking ball who will use the extents of his power with no mercy and he will bring terror across people who have disobeyed him. This belief formed between God and the Hebrews are credited to the overall covenants made throughout the Pentateuch. More specifically the unconditional covenant of Abraham and the conditional covenant of Moses and without god living through Moses and Abraham and using them as highly trusted mediators the Hebrews would not have the strong foundation which is in heavy connection to God.…

    Claude Vignon’s David with the Head of Goliath, is quite obviously focused on a recognizable subject matter being the Old Testament story that we all know so well. What Vignon brings to the popular scene to make it his own is the emotion surrounding the event. As previously mention its is that of a saddened child unsure of what he’s done, rather than that of a soldier victorious in battle; an emotion not previously portrayed in a work of…

    Ultimately, hesed is a term that can also be translated to “mercy” or “lovingkindness” which is exactly how God demonstrates the term in the book of Ruth. Although Naomi’s daughters-in-law were widowed, God showed love and mercy to them by blessing them with another husband, such as providing Boaz to Ruth. The term goel describes this example and shows God’s hesed towards His people and how if there were “jeopardized covenant blessings” that they could be regained. Another example of God extending His hesed to His people is in chapter 1 verse 6 when He promises “the restoration of sinful Israel from famine and death to grain and life.”…

    According to the Reading Guide, the story of David and Goliath serves as an example of what one can accomplish when he or she places their faith in God (Senior, Collins, Getty 2017, 207). It is quite apparent that the Priestly writer’s intentions were to fill the exiled Israelites with hope that with faith, God will provide for them. In the verses leading up to the text selected, it describes how no one had the courage to face Goliath due to the fear of defeat. Yet, when David hears Goliath mock and ridicule the Israelite’s Lord, he immediately volunteers. How is it that David, a youth, was able to defeat the giant…
