These myths are so prevalent, they excellent preserve getting repeated.

Story #1: Abba plot “daddy,” and is a term of childhood endearment.

Story #2: The excessive priest on Yom Kippur went into the Holy of Holies with a rope tied around his ankle.

Story #3: There used to be a dump where garbage used to be burned in the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna).

Documentation after the jump.

As both Clayboy (Doug Chaplin) and Steve Caruso of the Aramaic Weblog will expose you, Abba would now not mean daddy.

The excessive priest and the rope on Yom Kippur story is an bright one who doubtless has a Jewish foundation. Todd Bolen can’t secure an earlier supply than the Zohar (thirteenth century CE). The Orthodox Union says: it’s far now not in Talmud or midrash anyplace.

Neither is there any credible proof of a garbage dump in the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna), as Todd Bolen explains, however the premise comes from medieval commentator David Kimhi (RaDaK).

Oh yeah, and the so-called Needle Gate which supposedly explains Yeshua’s announcing, “It is more challenging for a grimy rich man to enter the kingdom than for a camel to shuffle via the admire of a needle,” it doesn’t exist either.

Why kind books and audio system preserve selling these myths? Does anyone take a look at their facts?
