Join me online today to wrap up Joshua and get ready for Judges by focusing on the story of Oteniel - the man of Hebron who would be the first Hebrew Judge but may actually be a local Canaanite? The Hebron Hot Spot has seen some violence these past days so history meets now with many questions..
Who was Oteniel and why does his grave in Hebron matter?
Menachem Mendel of Kamenitz, the first hotelier in the Land of Israel references his visit to the Tomb of Othniel in his 1839 book Sefer Korot Ha-Itim. He states, "outside of the city [of Hebron] I went to the grave of Othniel ben Kenaz and, next to him, are laid to rest 9 students this in niches in the wall of a shelter standing in a vineyard. I gave 20 pa’res to the owner of the vineyard."
Who he was and who owns this land is still a hot debate.
Join me today to discuss.
