This thread is for petitions for additional or corrected identifiers for Redemption characters. Many characters are missing identifiers that they should rightfully have, and this thread is to try and correct that.
Applications should be in the following format:
Petition for <character>
Identifiers to be added: Blah, Blah2, etc.
Evidence:
-<Bible verse>, <historical documentation>, etc.
You may also post evidence to support a petition already created and I will add it to the evidences for that petition.
Applications will not be considered if the identifiers are bogus or obviously a joke (such as angel or female for Moses).
Applications

Petition for Rahab
Identifier to be added: Israelite
Evidence:
25But Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And(A) she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. - Joshua 6:25
5and Salmon the father of Boaz by(A) Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, - Matthew 1:5
Also, Daniel was not royalty. He was just an official - like the persian presidents.
-
I petition that "Politician" be an EC-only title.
-
@Alex - Updated Rahab and Daniel, thanks!
@Pol - LOL! I second that petition. ;)
-
Some argue that this verse indicates that Daniel is of royal blood.
3Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family[a] and of the nobility, 4youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. Daniel 1:3-4
-
Nothing indicates whether he was royalty or nobility, unfortunately.
-
Habakkuk being a musician
The last chapter of Habakkuk appears to be a song written for worship (however I could be wrong)
Habakkuk 3:19
GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. (ESV)
-
Isaiah being a musician
Isaiah 5
A Song about the Lord’s Vineyard
1 Now I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard
on a rich and fertile hill... (NLT)
-
Habakkuk and Isaiah added.
