"They Will Serve God On This Mountain"

"They Will Serve God On This Mountain" Exodus 3:15 Excerpt The verb  תַּעַבְדוּן  ( ta ’ avdun , “you will serve”) is one of the foremost words for worship in the Torah. Keeping the commandments and serving Yahweh usually sum up the life of faith; the true worshiper seeks to obey him. The highest title anyone can have in the OT is “the servant of Yahweh.” The verb here could be rendered interpretively as “worship,” but it is better to keep it to the basic idea of serving because that emphasizes an important aspect of worship, and it highlights the change from Israel’s serving Egypt, which has been prominent in the earlier chapters. The words “and they” are supplied to clarify for English readers that the subject of the verb is plural (Moses and the people), unlike the other second person forms in vv.  10  and  12 , which are singular.  More Biblical Studies Press.  The NET Bible First Edition; Bible.

The Armenian Church and Convent in Jerusalem ‎The modern natives of Jerusalem caused the artist much annoyance when he attempted to take this, his second, photographic view in the City of Jerusalem in March, 1894 The men wanted to walk directly in front of the lens so as to permit the photographer to get a life-size view of themselves, whereas the artist was extremely anxious to get a good picture of the Armenian convent and church. In the above view we are looking toward the east. The Armenians separated themselves from the Catholic Church in 491 on account of the decision of the Council of Chalcedon, which pronounced their monophysite doctrine heretical. Members belonging to the Armenian Church are scattered throughout the Turkish dominions. The building which, we now face, embracing church and convent, stands upon Mount Zion. It was founded in the eleventh century by the Georgians, but on account of the enormous taxes levied upon it by the Turkish Government they were compelle...
