  1. TRADITION • There seem to be three classes of these oral teachings: • (a) some oral laws of Moses (as they supposed) given by the great lawgiver in addition to the written laws; • (b) decisions of various judges which became precedents in judicial matters; • (c) interpretations of great teachers (rabbis) which came to be prized with the same reverence as were the Old Testament Scriptures.

  2. Tyre and Sidon

  3. TYRE • Tyre in Prophecy. Several prophets of the Old Testament prophesied against Tyre. They condemned the Tyrians for delivering Israelites to the Edomites (Amos 1:9) and for selling them as slaves to the Greeks (Joel 3:5-6). Jeremiah prophesied Tyre's defeat (Jer 27:1-11). But the classic prophecy against Tyre was given by Ezekiel.

  4. stenazo (sten-ad'-zo); from NT:4728; to make (intransitively, be) in straits, i.e. (by implication) to sigh, murmur, pray inaudibly: • with grief, groan, grudge, sigh.

  5. DOG • 1. In Bible times, as now, troops of hungry and half-wild dogs roamed the fields and the streets feeding upon dead bodies and other refuse (1 Kings 14:11; 16:4; 21:19,23; 2 Kings 9:10,36; Jer 15:3; etc.) and thus became objects of dislike. Fierce and cruel enemies were called dogs (Ps 22:16,20; Jer 15:3). • 2. The dog being an unclean animal, the terms "dog," "dead dog," "dog's head" were used as terms of reproach, or of humiliation if speaking of one's self (1 Sam 24:14; 2 Sam 3:8; 9:8; 2 Kings 8:13). • 3. In the East "dog" is used for impure and profane persons and was used by the Jews respecting the Gentiles (Matt 15:26). • 4. False apostles are called "dogs" on account of impurity and love of gain (Phil 3:2). • 5. Those who are shut out of the kingdom of heaven are also called "dogs" (Rev 22:15) on account of their vileness, probably a reference to homosexuality.

  6. The First Command • Ex 20:12 • 12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. • Exodus 21:17 • 17 "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. • Leviticus 20:9 • 9 "'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head. • Deuteronomy 27:16 • 16 "Cursed is the man who dishonors his father or his mother." • Then all the people shall say, "Amen!" • Proverbs 20:20 • 20 If a man curses his father or mother, • his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness. • Proverbs 30:17 • 17 "The eye that mocks a father, • that scorns obedience to a mother, • will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, • will be eaten by the vultures.

  7. SYROPHOENICIAN • Mark 7:26; the woman is a remarkable case of faith outside of Israel, and of Jesus' exceptional healing beyond the precincts of the elect nation, His special sphere; parallel to Elijah's ministration to the widow of Zarephath (Luke 4:26-27). Mark terms her a "Greek," i.e. a Gentile; Matthew (Matt 15:22) "a woman of Canaan," i.e., like the Phoenicians her countrymen, she was a descendant of Canaan the accursed race, yet she became blessed by Jesus through faith. Syrophoenicia is the northern end of the long strip, Phoenicia, and had Tyre for its capital.
