Guiding Questions: I Kings 21

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What is the prohibition against “kila’yim” which is found in the Torah?
  2. Consult Deuteronomy 20:19-20 for the Torah’s attitude to the destruction of certain types of trees?
  3. Note the word in Hebrew which is a euphemism for the word “cursed” in I Kings 21:10.
  4. Did Ahab deserve the intense scorn that Elijah expressed towards him?
  5. What does the expression “Ma’aseh avot, siman l’vanim” mean? How is it relevant to our chapter?
