God’s first attempt to solve Adam’s loneliness failed — Are we supposed to be critical of God’s subsequent initial attempts at solutions?
In Genesis 2:19-20, God identifies a problem: Adam is alone. He then presents possible solutions to the problem by bringing all the animals before Adam.
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will
make a helper suit…
Were the teraphim (household gods) Rachel stole from Laban like a deed to his property?
While there are several questions related to this occurrence in Gen. 31:19, none seem to mention this as even possible. It was also not mentioned in a resent commentary I read. That the teraphim acted as a property deed was the answer gi…

Why is Elohim translated as God rather than gods in Genesis 1:1?
I mean Elohim is a plural form of God. So the correct translation would be gods.
Now, perhaps the word elohim is followed by singular words and hence the word Elohim must mean plural.
So what? That doesn’t change the fact that elohim is …

Any language literary devices explaining how God’s repent in 1 Samuel 15:35, but also God’s Never Repenting characteristic 1 Sam 15:29 & Num 23:19?
Sorry, I know bible scriptures that mention God repenting, and other verses about God Never repenting has been brought up a number of times on this site in order to harmonize/reason how the said verses can be taken as a whole withOut contradicting each other:
Is there a contradiction between 1 Samuel 15:29 and 1 Samuel 15:35?
Numbers 23:19 Says God doesn’t repent, Exodus 32:14 Says He repented?
Does God have regret or not in 1st Samuel 15?
However, I wanted to bring in the use of literary devices.
1 Samuel 15:29 says that God neither lies nor repents since He is not a man.
(1 Samuel 15:29)
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. KJV, ©1769
And yet, in 1 Samuel 15:35, it says that God indeed repented (for making Saul king over Israel).
(1 Samuel 15:35)
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he
had made Saul king over Israel. KJV, ©1769
(Numbers 23:19 (KJV))
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he
spoken, and shall he not make it good?
(Exodus 32:14 (KJV))
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Could we say that the contradiction between the aforementioned could be associated with literary devices of hyperbole, figure of speech? In other words, for God to repent or to regret something to do with his actions is so disturbing to God Himself that is why Samuel says in 1 Samuel 15:29 that God “will not lie nor repent” ?

Book of Esther’s major theme is that God’s people may have Unwillingly strayed away from God, but God is still Loving towards said people
I’m trying to approach the Book of Esther in the Bible in a holistic manner ( taking a bird’s eye view ) of God’s varying calibrated auspices of His chosen Israelite nation.
Also I am taking into account the historical/cultural contexts fo…
