bristles [galili]

Ziph - flowing. (1.) A son of Jehaleleel (1 Chr. 4:16).

(2.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:24), probably at the pass of Sufah.

(3.) A city in the mountains of Judah (Josh. 15:55), identified with the uninhabited ruins of Tell ez-Zif, about 5 miles south-east of Hebron. Here David hid himself during his wanderings (1 Sam. 23:19; Ps. 54, title).

Ziphah - a descendant of Judah (1 Chr. 4:16).

Ziphron - sweet odour, a city on the northern border of Palestine (Num. 34:9), south-east of Hamath.

[Easton's Bible dictionary]

Psalms Chapter 54

54:1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

[thengodsaid]

HAZOR (track featured on Masada 3, Zevulun and Live in Sevilla)

get back [galili]

Hazor - enclosed; fortified. (1.) A stronghold of the Canaanites in the mountains north of Lake Merom (Josh. 11:1-5). Jabin the king with his allied tribes here encountered Joshua in a great battle. Joshua gained a signal victory, which virtually completed his conquest of Canaan (11:10-13). This city was, however, afterwards rebuilt by the Canaanites, and was ruled by a king with the same hereditary name of Jabin. His army, under a noted leader of the name of Sisera, swept down upon the south, aiming at the complete subjugation of the country. This powerful army was met by the Israelites under Barak, who went forth by the advice of the prophetess Deborah. The result was one of the most remarkable victories for Israel recorded in the Old Testament (Josh. 19:36; Judg. 4:2; 1 Sam. 12:9). The city of Hazor was taken and occupied by the Israelites. It was fortified by Solomon to defend the entrance into the kingdom from Syria and Assyria. When Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian king, invaded the land, this was one of the first cities he captured, carrying its inhabitants captive into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29). It has been identified with Khurbet Harrah, 2 1/2 miles south-east of Kedesh.

(2.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:23). The name here should probably be connected with the word following, Ithnan, HAZOR-ITHNAN instead of "Hazor and Ithnan."

(3.) A district in Arabia (Jer. 49:28-33), supposed by some to be Jetor, i.e., Ituraea.

(4.) "Kerioth and Hezron" (Josh. 15: 25) should be "Kerioth-hezron" (as in the R.V.), the two names being joined together as the name of one place (e.g., like Kirjath-jearim), "the same is Hazor" (R.V.). This place has been identified with el-Kuryetein, and has been supposed to be the home of Judas Iscariot. (See KERIOTH.)

[Easton's Bible dictionary]


NETIVOT (track featured on Masada 3 and Live in Jerusalem)

terminal [galili]

The Maharsl is referring to sections in Netivot Olam, Netiv Halshon, chapter 6, and in Netiv Koach Hayetzer, chapter 1[torah.org]

so Netivot seems to be parts of a book ?

TANNAIM & KARAIM - names of two old jewish groups / sects [galili]


HEKHAL (track featured on Masada 3 and Live in Jerusalem)

LEBAOTH (track featured on Masada 3 only)

TANNAIM (track featured on Masada 3 and Bar Kokhba)

TANNAIM & KARAIM - names of two old jewish groups / sects [galili]

Hashem said that the sale of Yoseif, unlike all other sins, could never be overlooked and that one day the greatest Tannaim (Mishnaic authors) would suffer inhuman torture and be taken from us in atonement for this sin. [torah.org]

As with the previous pairs of Tannaim, Shammai (the second Tanna) teaches a lesson from the perspective of "yirah," fear, instructing one to take care against violating what is required. [torah.org]

Each of the tanaim chose to teach three things to ensure that, as words of discipline (mussar) they would remain etched on one's heart and in one's mind. [torah.org]
