This insight has been a blessing!! Thank you
Wow ! Yesterday I was doing a study on Aaron and Hiram gemstones breastplates . And I and the location of the tribes in the city in Ezekiel 48 . And I noticed that the 3 row with the tribes missing are all put on the west gate of the city . Gad, Asher, and Naphtali ( all placed on the west gate )
Then I when on studying the meanings and blessings of these tribes and I got this :
Gad has a similar wording as white coriander ( mana ) and means to crown, to win the last battle
Naftalina is the female deer of songs of Solomon ( simbolizes the bride )
Asher the symbol of Asher is the olive tree , he will deepen his feet in oil …
The Bible is so beautiful
Blessings In THE MOST HIGHS NAME
Hi- thanks for the video- I'm enjoying the insight! I too believe Eden was a mountain but couldn't catch your Ezekiel reference- It sounded like Ezek 10?? I looked it up but can't find what you're referencing. Can you post that? Thanks again and Happy Christmas!
I like your approach it is very genuine and honest.
Question, why do you think Jesus in John 8 says the things that he says.
From what you have said here it seams Jesus is saying the Jews are still making the mistakes of the original Adam.
Also why does god add the H to Abram.
Have you got any thing to add?
Thank you
Tim Mackie teaches that last story like this: Pharaoh plays the role of Adam and Eve (seeing, desiring and taking), Sarah is the forbiden fruit (good to look at) and Abraham plays the snake (deceiving the ruler).
Yeah, doesn’t really make sense in the context of the Abraham narrative. This isn’t Abraham’s sin and the narrator doesn’t indicate that.
@@TheBibleisArt I think it fits perfectly into the pattern. A New Begining and Blessing followed by deceit and taking what is forbiden.
And also, the Narrator doesn't allways indicate when someone sins. Genesis isn't Chronicles.
I think that’s a pretty hard interpretation to sustain because it would be identifying Abraham as the arch enemy in the story when it seems clear that Pharaoh is the who who does the evil action.
When you parse out the parallel it does work through the story. In Gen 3, the snake directly contradicted God and convinced the woman to act against God. Here Abraham is using deception not to go against God but to protect his wife from an evil Pharaoh who will steal a wife.
Also, you often determine the narrators evaluation by the actions of God, and God plagues Pharaoh, not Abram.
And then there’s the clear foreshadowing of the exodus where Pharaoh is the clear enemy.
While there is a prima facie parallel, when you try to work it through the story it doesn’t seem to pan out.

I don’t think that assessment is warranted. Throughout the Hebrew Bible the evil that the main characters do is unspoken and not explicitly named as part of the teaching trope. For instance, Abraham is never called out for lying even when he lied to Abimelech and almost got him killed. And God announced that He was about to kill Abimelech, and then Abimelech cried out his innocence to God- which God acknowledged. That’s Genesis 20. God was still going to put Abimelech to death though he was morally innocent because he was about to mess up morally and, implicated by the later promises, interfere in the plans God had for Sarah’s womb. It wouldn’t be the first time God put to death someone oblivious of wrongdoing, and it isn’t always that God doesn’t go through with it (remember Uzzah).
Also, it is not within the realm of human justice given within the Torah to prematurely judge someone for an injustice. So Abraham being paranoid for his wife is noble, but his deception towards rulers who blessed him is not.
Also, oftentimes moral verdicts are placed upon the lips of the characters themselves (like when Judah acknowledged his guilt towards Tamar and that word went unchecked). So when Pharaoh rebuked Abraham and the rebuke went unchallenged, that was a sign.
There also is a pattern among the patriarchs in this vein. Isaac also lies to the Abimelech monarch of his day concerning Rebekah and is rebuked for it. That’s Genesis 26.
Jacob lies to everyone about nearly everything. His lies are only exceeded by his sons lying to him for 15 years concerning Joseph. After that, Jacob deceived no more. He goes in to Pharaoh, speaks and blesses him with few words, and then departs.
The silent pattern in the Bible is that these men never were justly punished for their lying and their lying kept growing to be more and more unruly and outrageous until it nearly destroyed the line of the firstborn in Abraham’s family. And then, thankfully, it stopped…well, sort of. It may be that Joseph’s brothers did lie when they feared him after Jacob died, which is another cliffhanger to the tragedy of Genesis. But perhaps they told the truth. We do not know.

I should say, that said, I really enjoy your insights and videos. Please do keep them up.
Late to the table on this one, but when Abraham talks to Sarah about saying she is his sister, his reasoning is spelled out: "that it may go well with ME because of you, and that MY life may be spared for your sake." It seems to me he is clearly trying to save himself, not guard her. Or is he saying that they need to preserve his life so that he can continue to take care of her? I can kind of see that in the "for your sake" part, but that doesn't seem to be the gist of the whole quote. What am I missing?
Good comments. You can see in another thread in these comments we cover some of this.
But you could interpret Abram’s statement in both ways and where you come down depends on how you interpret his character in this episode overall.
@@TheBibleisArt I read through the other comments before posting, and I find your point of view compelling. It’s almost like this story was written to reveal something about the reader. Thanks for the feedback, and please keep up the good work. Or write a book or something. Your content is top tier.
Are there more things (articles,books) I can look into about Abraham being actually the wise man in the context you talked about?
No FALL but god revealing our need for tomorrow to be different than today
All of creation reveals this truth that is why we are in his image
Couldn't find an Ezekiel 10:29; I suppose you mean some other verse, but where?
My mistake. Ezekiel 28:13-14.
