How is Anah related to Zibeon?

How is Anah related to Zibeon?

Daughter - Genesis 36:2, 14 -

2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; (KJV)

2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite (NIV)

14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. (KJV)

14 The sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah. (NIV)

These verses, in the King James Version, seem to state that Anah was the daughter of Zibeon.  When read in the New International Version,  the verses state "and granddaughter of Zibeon," which seems to only add to the confusion.  My thought was that one would need to go to the original Hebrew to unlock the mystery about this, and I was right.

Does God stay angry forever?

OK, here we go.

Does God stay angry forever?

No –      Psalm 30:5 – This is poetry, not theology.  But, when read in context with the rest of the Psalm, it does show the example of someone (David) turning back to God and God’s anger ceasing.

                Jeremiah 3:12 – Continue reading verses 13 & 14 to complete the thought.  God’s anger is conditional and ceases when guilt from sin against Him is acknowledged.

                Micah 7:18 – The complete thought is needed.  Reading verses 16 & 17 shows that the nations’ returning to fearing God assuages His anger. 

Who do I think I am?!

Well, this is blog number 3 for me.  Apparently, I think that I've got a LOT of important stuff to say.  I'm not narcissistic, I just think I'm awesome!  (Only kidding!)

Why have I decided to make a third blog?  It kinda came out of nowhere, really.  Some interactions on Twitter with several atheists prompted me to enter an ongoing debate regarding alleged contradictions in the Bible.  I've discovered that it takes a few more than 140 characters to explain some things, so I decided to flush it all out in a different format.

It seems to be a common misconception among atheists that a believer in God and follower of Jesus Christ cannot be a rational person and doesn't want to learn.  Part of my goal with this blog is to dispel these myths by presenting rational explanations to refute these alleged contradictions. 

I am not a Biblical scholar or an apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but I am hoping to gain a better understanding of the Bible as I dig in and learn more regarding these alleged contradictions.  I also hope that everyone who reads this blog, believer or unbeliever, will be encouraged to join me in studying the questions presented.  To hear these alleged contradictions and either accept or reject them without proper research is foolish.  Also, don't accept or reject based on anything you might read here.  Do your own research and draw your own conclusions.

Anyone who wishes to comment on my posts should know this: I will not allow comments that aren't well thought out and rational.  You can agree, you can disagree, but if you are trying to be a prick don't bother.  Your comment will be deleted.

This should be a interesting experience.  I'm enjoying it, so far!
