Since this occurrence in Abraham's life goes before the Mosaic Law and the Old Covenant by more than four centuries, the individuals who educate tithing constantly utilize verses 18-20 as confirmation writings. Their position shows that, since tithing, similar to marriage and the rest of the "ethical" law truly went before the Law, at that point they are "everlasting standards" which were not discredited when the Mosaic Law was supplanted by the New Covenant at Calvary.

The speech describes the feelings that were caused by the religious intolerance from the Americans. Currently, the United States have started to appreciate the impacts of the Native Americans and other minorities in history. However, a piece of history that has been quite hidden is the religious intolerance of Native Americans. Chief Red Jacket utilizes repetition, pathos, and rhetorical questions to convince the Americans to tolerate the religion of the Native Americans.

Deborah Miranda has written a collective tribal memoir, “Bad Indians”, drawing on ancestral memory that revealed aspects of an indigenous worldview and contributed to update our understanding of the mission system, settler colonialism and histories of American Indians about how they underwent cruel violence and exploitation. Her memoir successfully addressed past grievances of colonialism and also recognized and honored indigenous knowledge and identity.

Long ago, in the Greek sky, lived a couple named Skotádia and Fo̱simus. Skotádia was the Goddess of darkness; a charming, yet dangerous maiden, who only emerged from her black hole during the night.

At first, their differences kept them away from each other, but as Skotádia grew to become a beautiful goddess, Fo̱simus was enchanted. After sharing three centuries together, Aphrodite blessed their marriage and they were happily wedded.
