Old Testament Lesson 45: "If I Perish, I Perish"

In the scriptures and in modern life we occasionally encounter people whose commitment to principle is so remarkable that they cannot be coerced, frightened, or bribed into doing something they believe is wrong. For example:

Rebecca Miller

Rebecca Miller is the instructor for the Independent Study Biblical Hebrew course at BYU and serves as an assistant instructor for HEB 131–132 on campus with Dr. Donald W. Parry. Before teaching Biblical Hebrew, she worked as a licensed dental hygienist for 14 years until she felt a strong prompting from the Lord to return to school to study Biblical Hebrew. Following that impression has led her into teaching and opened doors to grow both spiritually and academically. She is also a mother of seven and loves skiing, hiking, family history, and exploring National Parks with her husband and children. Learning and teaching Biblical Hebrew has strengthened her faith in the Lord and brought the scriptures alive with new meaning, and she loves sharing that same joy with others.
