Under the Tent of Shem
from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
This week, Fr. Paul discusses the meaning of the names Shem, Ham, and Japheth, explaining that the verb “to dwell” in Hebrew pertains specifically to tent dwelling—another notable breadcrumb reflecting his broader thesis about shepherdism in the Bible. He concludes by taking our questions on the first appearance of the word covenant in the Bible, and the link between the nakedness of the progenitor and the life blood in Genesis.
