Exodus 17 Part 1 0:00 The first seven verses of Exodus 17 give readers the story of the water from the rock at Rephidim...Since the location of Kadesh is known, this incident is part of the problem of the location of Mount Sinai (especially for the Midian view) and links this incident to the failure with the giant clans from Numbers 13 (Part 2). Exodus 17 Part 2 44:28 Exodus 17:8-16 chronicles the battle between the Israelites and the Amalekites. The episode contains odd elements. Exodus 18 1:34:27 This chapter of the book of Exodus features the idea of Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law- to appoint judges in Israel to help Moses render judgment on disputes within the community. There is some confusion about the relationship of these judges to elders in Israel. This episode discusses eldership in Israel and the relation of these judges to the elders. Exodus 19 2:13:18 Exodus 19 begins with the short move of the Israelite community from Rephidim to Sinai...we focus on the nature of the Sinai covenant, its relation to the earlier Abrahamic covenant, and the ultimate goal of the covenant, expressed in Exod 19.5-6. Exodus 20 Part 1 2:41:18 Exodus 20 is familiar to Bible readers for the Ten Commandments. Actually, only Exod 20.1-17 delineates those commands. The rest of the chapter resumes the Sinai theophany whose description began in Exodus 19. Exodus 20 Part 2 3:13:48 In this episode we take a look at the first four commands: having no gods before Yahweh, not making idols, not making the name of God inconsequential (“bearing the name in vain”), and remembering the Sabbath. Exodus 20 Part 3 4:02:59 In this episode we cover the remaining six commandments (honor your father and mother, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, and do not covet). It may come as a surprise, but some of these are hard to define and have biblical exceptions.
The playback speed is crazy on these please fix. I have to fix it in settings on almost every one. Anyway great listen thanks for that, please fix if you can 🙏
One of my Hebrew professors maintained that verses 3 through 17 were exposition of what v. 2 announced, i.e. what it meant to have Yahweh for one's God.
I'm reminded of a Jewish numbering of the Ten Words (that we call commandments) where the first word is "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the house of Egypt". I see Dr. Heiser eventually got around to this.I wish I could get his comment on the suggestion that the "no images" prohibition as not being one of the commands since God later commands the making of images for the Tabernacle and blesses Solomon's addition of more images for the Temple. Given this it would seem that "no images" is an addendum to "no other gods", so that verses 3-6 are a single command.
Hey -- is this a "Two Powers" instance here in 17:6: "Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb..."? Sure sounds like embodied Yahweh!

Why was the audio set that way. It is disturbing. Mike Heiser's voice is part of his teaching.
Slow it down one setting for normal speed audio ... MUCH better !!!

If big if the geography hasn’t been intentionally changed to hide and confuse us
Sounds like Luther's explanation of "no false witness" was pretty dead-on: don't speak words that would harm others!
