After the Israelites cross into Canaan, crossing the other way is bad. During Saul's reign, some flee across the Jordan in the face of the Philistines. Dramatically, David crosses the Jordan when his son rebels. But then when he crosses back into Israel, the text highlights it: "THE KING CROSSED." <br> <br> <br> Charlie11/9/2005 4:47:00 PM http://ww.theoblogian.org/Post.aspx?s=rc&idpPost=50#Comment_111Don't forget about our good friend Egypt.&nbsp; It seems that nearly everyone and their brother (or son)&nbsp;does something bad in, or has something bad done to them by Egypt (not the least of which is forgot-she-was-my-wifeitis that seemed to weigh heavily on the Patriarchs).&nbsp; Sam11/8/2005 7:16:00 PM http://ww.theoblogian.org/Post.aspx?s=rc&idpPost=50#Comment_110<P>How about Achan and the Valley of Achor?&nbsp; Achan and kin and kine are killed with stones and stones are heaped up over them "to this day" in Josh 7, yet Hosea 2:14 indicates that the Valley of "the Troubler" of Israel will be a door of Hope for them in the future.</P> <P>I realize that this isn't a geographical reference - but is any OT text more quoted in the OT than Ex. 34:6-7?&nbsp; I see it popping up in Jonah 4:2, Micah 7:18, Num 14:18, Ps 86:5 &amp; 15, Ps 103:8, Ps 145:8, Nahum 1:3, Joel 2:13, Neh 9:17,&nbsp;and maybe Deut 4:31.&nbsp; That is a lot of quotation/direct allusion for OT intertextuality I think.&nbsp; It was at least included in the "How to be a Pre-Exilic Minor Prophet" handbook.</P>Josh11/7/2005 7:47:00 PM
