If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death, the one appointment we all must keep, and for which no time is set ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death, the one appointment we all must keep, and for which no time is set]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22773]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt ashamed for what I had done.
