... bear the Throne. Moses spent the day in learning the Torah from God, and the night in repeating what he had learned. In this way he set an example for Israel, that they might occupy themselves with the Torah by night and by day. During this time Moses also wrote down the Torah, although the angels found it strange that God should have given him the commission to write down the Torah, and gave expression to their astonishment in the following words, that they addressed to God: "How is it that Thou givest Moses permission to write, so that he may write whatever he will, and say to Israel, I gave you the Torah, ...
792. Common Sense About Ancient Maps [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , in the 1930s, did not "resolve the contradictions posed by it." (6 ) The map is apparently a compilation of several other maps, because certain features are repeated on it and joined together. These mistakes notwithstanding, Mallery informs us that: During the first systematic examination of the map, I glanced again at the strange tail hanging off the southern extremity of South America, across the location where the Drake Passage [which separates South America from Antarctica] should have been. Suddenly unwilling to dismiss this tail as a distortion, as scholars had done, I pondered several possibilities, rejecting each of them. Then an astonishing idea came to me: [ ...

... or neither. Black holes, galactic holes, the horizon problem, peculiar velocity and phase transition may exist or they may not, or some may while some may not, or none of the above. The missing mass of the universe (if it is missing) may consist of cold dark matter or hot dark matter or lukewarm (strange) dark matter or shadow matter, and, as for the world itself, it is a bubble universe with domain walls or a grown-up former baby universe or an erstwhile pancake structure, and its future is either flat or collapsing or forever expanding or no-boundary, or none of the above. That unfortunately is as precise as the most ...
794. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... the astronomers who recorded the irregular invisibilities of Venus were concerned with establishing whether they portended something ominous. Hence, they listed the appearances and disappearances of Venus together with events such as battles, invasions, good or bad harvests. There are some errors in the transcription of the figures in our copies of the tablets; the figures were so strange and irregular that copyists at times slipped. But these errors can be corrected because the figures cross-check each other, as one can see from the sample I have provided above. [Most discrepancies involve only a day or two anyway.] According to the material that was available in the twenties of this century, the information provided in ...
795. The Legends of the Jews: Volume II - Joseph [Books]
... Joseph, but he warded off the intimate greeting with the words: "It is not meet that a God-fearing man, who blesses the living God, and eats the blessed bread of life, who drinks of the blessed cup of immortality and incorruptibility, and anoints himself with the fragrant oil of holiness, should kiss a woman of a strange people, who blesses dead and unprofitable idols, and eats the putrid bread of idolatry, which chokes the soul of man, who drinks the libations of deceit, and anoints herself with the oil of destruction." These words uttered by Joseph touched Asenath unto tears. Out of compassion with her, he bestowed his blessing upon her ...

... appearance of a comet heralded a great epidemic, earthquakes, a terrifying eclipse of the Sun, etc.); (2 ) The end of the world (end of a world age/kingdom, etc.); (3 ) The death of a great king; (4 ) The transmigration of a great king's soul. Strange to say, and wholly inexplicable from the standpoint of modern astronomy, the very same motives are also associated with the planet Venus. From Mesopotamia to Mesoamerica, from the most ancient times to the advent of the twentieth century, Venus was widely regarded as an omen of disaster; harbinger of the end of a world age; the ...
797. Neocatastrophism in Geology and Paleontology [Articles]
... intervals, you have then during this one period maybe three or four different layers formed but you still can figure out that that entire section here corresponds to that section. And you can also just on the basis of the outside morphology of the stalagmite discern these different growth layers. Now this little thing here- most people think I am strange, my dentist took a dental X-ray of this little appendage, and it turned out to be a bat (? ). The skeleton had been here deposited with this and simply calcite-deposited over. This is, from here to here, corresponds to the growth of the stalactite sections we saw previously. I mentioned Soderstrom's (? ) ...
798. Sagan's tenth problem: The circularization of the orbit of Venus (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... and just following the eclipse itself. Between the onset of the eclipse and its midpoint there is a steady increase in the observed times. After the midpoint, the times decrease suddenly and level off promptly to values considerably greater than those observed before the eclipse. Furthermore, before the eclipse there is a periodic variation in these times. This strange periodicity was essentially repeated two weeks later [when the moon is on the other side of the Earth] at the same hours, though the actual values were somewhat greater than the earlier ones. These increases in actual values exceed by a factor of 105 [100,000] those that can be explained by the attraction of the ...
799. Cosmic Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , then spinning top experiments and mathematical calculations- relating to reversals of the Earth's magnetic field. He argues that the Earth is easily destabilized and can even turn over repeatedly in response to external influences. If the axis of the Earth tilts when an intruder approaches, the Earth's angular moments of rotation and revolution can respond less radically to the strange forces; the total sphere responds and there is less strain on its parts. Or if the Earth's rotation is interrupted, a fracture of the Earth's crust will reduce the energy of the braking and increase the time given to it. Every day thousands of airplanes take off and land that would disintegrate if their acceleration or deceleration were in ...
800. The Listing by Months: An Ancient Study of the Disappearances of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... Section are real observations (as opposed to the artificial entries of Section II), but they are out of chronological sequence, and the word a-hu-tum may have been chosen to refer to this situation. Our interpretation of a-hu-tum is generally consistent with the suggestion in LFS (Langdon-Fotheringham-Schoch, page 19) that these entries or groups are rather " strange', rare', unusual', that is groups arranged in a different order from those on the obverse' ". Our only reservation here is that "on the obverse" and "on the reverse" are inadequate ways of distinguishing chronological material from non chronological material; some versions of the chronological Section III are on the ...
