Oh dear......what do I do now that I'm retired???? bahahaha.....never stop doing the work of the Lord is what. :)

"Television" isn't in biblical Hebrew  either.  Now, what will I do with my time???  😂

I have another way of looking at it. Humans were placed in Eden to cultivate paradise. However, when they were kicked out they were cursed to toil for survival. I take that to mean that working for survival is a curse but working for a noble cause is a blessing.

Hebrew is indeed a very beautiful language. I would like to learn from it too :)

Wow! I never thought about that!

Interesting. Only by knowing the language you could truly learn the culture of a place.

It's interesting how words can be a window into a culture. The concept of retirement is pretty recent too... late 19th/early 20th century, i believe.

What are the two most common things retirees do 6 months after retiring?
- Die
- Go back to work

Perhaps we'll *all* be better off working part-time until the moment we move on from this life to the next.

>*"...work does not come into existence until after sin enters the world."*

Huh?

Reading this as a plain statement, I find it completely contradicted by the very next sentence, and by what appears to be the thesis of your article...

BTW, I am in violent agreement with your thesis - work is definitely a blessing. The curse merely coupled work with the necessity of survival...

What am I missing about the sentence I quoted?

I also find Hebrew fascinating on many levels, but I am worse than novice at it... Much better at Greek. I have a friend who has been studying it for years. Another friend on Steemit with fascinating insights into Hebrew... Do you know @inphiknit?

😄😇😄

Goes along with "idle hands are the devil's workshop" I suppose.

such an Orwellian spin -  narrowing the range of thought by not having a word for certain concepts - I always hated the word trump, even in cards - could we please all agree to eliminate that one? lol

"And the pleasantness of the Lord, our G-d, be upon us and may He establish the work of our hands for us and may the work of our hands establish Him." (Tehillim/Psalm 90:17)

A wonderful and faith/hopeful post, B"H!~

Thanks!

Absolutely truth! B"H!
