It is refreshing to hear a self-identifying Christian delivering a cogent lecture on the origins of scripture instead of engaging in dubious logical apologetics in an attempt to justify their belief in Biblical inerrancy.
Tell me about it, as sumbunny who was raised in the southern United States I almost experienced shock induced head-explodey after discovering this channel. Even the "nicest" Christians out there practiced shunning techniques on me. No need to mention what the regulars did, most of us already know that experience. If more Christians behaved like this there sure would be a lot less angry, resentful atheists in the world.
Well why not? Books are books. I think someone can consider themselves as religious not because he is dogmatic, but because some elements of religion are appealing for him
@@balsarmy Because a vast majority of Christians in the southern United States are loud, oppressive and obnoxious? If you've not lost your job because of, or been harassed by evangelicals or fundamentalists, then lucky you. Believing in the literalism of the Christian religion tends to lead towards toxic behavior. Scholarly folk who happen to like the Abrahamic faiths and enjoy/recognize the allegories in them are not common.
@@Arthurian_Rabbit "Scholarly folk who happen to like the Abrahamic faiths and enjoy/recognize the allegories in them are not common." This isn't true at all, in my observation. I think people like this are pretty common, but the shrieking fundamentalists just make a lot more noise, by their nature.
Yes, those of us who grew up in the "land of Biblical Inerrancy" (The American South) grew up with a lot of nonsense that the scholarly interpretation doesn't need. Trying to say the Bible is inerrant, but then watching someone dance around the many, many inconsistencies and contradictions was always fairly ridiculous.
As a former Jehovah"s Witness this was a hugely enlightening lecture! Ive read yhe bible 3x in english, once in Spanish and ive read the Greek Interlinear Translation. This shows how much goes over your head when you're reading and not actually analyzing. Horeb vs Saini; Raul vs Jethro; the differences in the 10 commandments; Learning El, Elohim and YahWeh don't all represent the name of God, nor were the regering to the same God in the beginning or that Elohim is Gods plural! There was so much we thought we knew that we didn't remotely understand which i now realize is common trait of that religion. Excellent work. (No offense to J.Ws)
I really really like this. I've watched alot of videos about documentary hypothesis,but unlike this one. You go through everything giving examples of and pointing to the difference in the verses. Much like and subed

Like a supreme being, creator of the universe, is concerned about killing his creations as a sacrifice to appease him and they smelled good. Just bizarre these stories and people believe them as fact
I just finished Dr. Friedman‘s book with the same title. This video is very informative, distilling many of the issues he raises. Thanks so much. The diagrams are really helpful. 😊
@13:06 An additional problem with the Eve-creation myth is that the Hebrew word translated as "rib" doesn't actually mean "rib". It means "side" or "half." "Rib" is used only to denigrate women as secondary. When I was 14, the deacons of the Missionary Baptist church (my parents dragged me to) asked me to create a series of posters showing the (6) days of creation for their missionary work. So, I started drawing the days' tasks in, but then happened to read critically beyond that, to find the second of the three creation myths in those first books of Genesis, the ones that creationists ignore, on purpose. I gave them their drawing supplies back and told them that it couldn't be done, to fit their Bible-inerrancy tenet. They looked completely lost when confronted with the actual situation of the Scriptures, and how it deflates their naïve Bible-Idolatry.
The things I have found truly boggles and annoys the jEebussy are Jeshuas actual name and that 'Messiah' means gOds chosen instrument to deliver Israel to POLITICAL independence, which jEebus is not claimed to do even in hIs own P.R.
As a theological student and having an eclectic study history, this is a truly great lecture. Good visuals, superb presence and remarkable approach. Thank you for the upload! (A few years after…)

"Love thy neighbough" first appears in Leviticus 19:18 The next time it appears is in Matthew 5:43... "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbough and hate thine enemy..." Jesus is recalling the earlier commandment(s) before making up a new one !
Actually hate is condemned long before Moses: when Cain wroth against Able and than hated him, as in the context of Deut 19:11 explained…. God condemned even being wroth. So this was no new commandment Jesus gave, and he said it too. Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
@@kathyh.648 I don't always agree with Jesus. For example in Luke 14:13 he said ... "When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and the deaf". At the last supper, he only called his disciples, so I think we can ignore his earlier suggestion.
I'm agnostic, but really interested in scholarly research into religion and mythology, so I enjoyed the heck out of this. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to more content!
Are you a believer or a nonbeliever? There is no middle ground. An agnostic can be either. Intelligent believers and atheists are agnostics (in my opinion) the rest are fundamentalists and they include the fanatics.
@@fibber2u I think with most things there's a spectrum for agnosticism, and I don't think it unlikely for there to be folk around the middle. As for myself, I'm not entirely sure how to answer where I lie on the scale, as it's fairly complicated and would take a lot more delving than your average YT comment. Lets just say that I maintain a healthy attitude of: "I just don't know!" I enjoy theorizing, and I certainly want to believe in something beyond just a physical reality with nothing else to it, so there's that. HBU?

@@fibber2u the definition of atheism is merely the lack of belief in a deity. No agnosticism is necessary. Given the utter ridiculousness of the description of the god of the bible for example, it is easy to have no belief in it. The same goes for every other "god" I've ever heard of, so I am an atheist.

And then there is the question of how long the oral tradition existed before they were written down. If long enough, it could even be that (some of) these stories started elsewhere.
@Jingjing Saduay Nonsense, the book form existed way before the printing press was invented. Though obviously the first printed book originated from after the invention of the printing press. Perhaps you meant to say that the book form surpassed the scroll form in popularity only after the invention of the printing press?
not true,......the scrolls of moses (the torah 1500bc) was put under the ark of the covenant and was copied by expert scribes by God's instructions, ....throughout the Hebrew history, ....the bible tells the story of a misplaced sroll, (probably lev.) that was found behind the alter and the king ,I believe it was Hezekiah asked a copiest ,I believe it was Ezra to read it aloud to the congregation, ....this continued up to the exile to Babylon and after.(600bc-1200ad.masorites).
I've always been so amazed at that "say you're my sister" story being repeated three times, twice with the same king involved. I wonder if Abimelech was like, "Hey, did your father come through here about twenty years ago? I knew it! He pulled the same trick! What's wrong with your family??"

This topic has always fascinated me but I’m afraid it will never be anything more than just a hypothesis unless we are able to find some other ancient biblical texts that predate the Qumran scrolls. I recently read an article on NYTimes regarding an old story about an archaeologist who discovered an ancient version of Deuteronomy (possibly dating to the 1st temple period). It was declared a forgery and the discoverer later committed suicide. However, now there are scholars saying it may not have been a forgery but it is long lost. This was about 100 years ago.
Try researching the Gospel of Judas. It's authenticated by The Pope and the Vatican. It shows Jesus deeply mired in metaphysics and his favorite disciple was his youngest: Judas. Additional details in the new e-book: 'Candy Coated Jesus.'
@@oliverford5367 Yes it is possible as was the case for the ancient papyrus text from Egypt known as “the story of wenamun” dated to 1000 BCE, predating the Qumran scrolls by about 900 years. And many of the biblical texts are said to have been written between the time of these two texts so it is possible that something may be discovered through future excavations.
@@HOWBAZARY not a fan of NYTimes but they were the only ones with that story: “Is a Long-Dismissed Forgery Actually the Oldest Known Biblical Manuscript? - The New York Times”
I'm curious 8:21 We're looking at English translations of scripture here. What does the Hebrew text say about these two sections of scripture that were pointed out? I realize things get lost in translation, but to be far. If it was 2, 7, or more. How does that negate the end result?
@@michaelhenry1763 I think if you look at it in that light we would also need to take objection to monuments made to the cross, depictions of God the Father and the Son, as well as pretty much any venerated religious symbol. Idolatry, or the worship of objects or even depictions and symbols, casts a very wide net. Ideally, I think Jesus intended matters of the spirit to remain in the mind and within the spiritual realm. However, I do myself wear a cross as a personal comfort - I don't worship the object. Catholic veneration of "icons" could be deemed Idolatry if you take the strictest definition.
@@brevaldez4891 Yes, you are absolutely right. Everything you have written could be considered violating the “ graven images” commandment. I think that is why Christians since the Reformation have argued over it. That is why the Eastern Roman Empire destroyed itself over icons in late antiquity. I think this why Islam follows the Jewish approach and also bans images. Is it “ wrong”.? Objectively no, it is part of your religion. However, internally, it is contradicting its own tenets if it claims the Hebrew Bible as part of its own. As for Jesus, he never addressed this commandment.

Outstanding work. I've watched a few of your uploads and I'm quite impressed. You explain for a lay person. One question. What are your thoughts on Rudolph Steiner? Do you know who he is?
I know who he was: the creator of anthroposophy, which is a mixture of philosophy and guide to life/principles. I used to teach on a Rudolf Steiner school. We were also supposed to read his written work as part of our employment. Very dense stuff linguistically. Like JJ Rousseau: asking the right questions does not mean you are also able to provide the right answer. Steiner (or Walsdorf in English speaking countries) schools can be very good for some kids, and I met some wonderful people. On the other hand, a bit of sectarian whiff, and they are currently vaccination sceptics, which is not a good plan.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing these ideas. I've been studying the messy history of the mormons, especially since the time of Brigham Young and all the changes he made to Joseph smith's journals and revelations. It's so messy! It's interesting to see how messy Biblical history is, too.
This is interesting, I hadn’t realized that God must’ve given the dietary laws to Noah before Moses and yet Noah was not commanded to observe them. He was allowed to eat anything that moved after the flood of as over.
Read the bible properly - Genesis 9:4 Noah and his family were only given the restriction to abstain from eating 'flesh with it's blood' - repeated for Christians at Acts 15:20 Noah was not given the same dietary laws that were later introduced under the Mosaic Law covenant that only applied to the nation of Israel - natural Jews that were liberated from their captivity in Egypt.
@@mikewiththebluecar .. that is possible, however, the bible account does say that when the time arrived, God brought the animals to Noah - so Noah + his family didn't have to go searching. Then it would have become apparent by checking the pairs (groups of 2) and the groups of 7, which were the 'clean' and which were the 'unclean' - evidently God (Yahweh) had in mind that after the flood, Noah would offer up a sacrifice on an alter. - Genesis 8:20
@@Chris_Sheridan In my opinion because God told Noah to bring 7 of each clean animal and 2 of each unclean animal it suggests that Noah already knew the difference between the two, otherwise God would’ve had to then explain the difference between them because at that point Noah didn’t know that God was going to bring them to him. That’s just going by what the scriptures state. There could’ve been more dialogue between God & Noah that wasn’t recorded in that conversation.

Or: do not eat a goat before it has had time to reproduce. This is the essence of conservation and is used in fishing (fishing permits prescribe a certain size) and behind the rules of culling animals. A good rule.
LOL at 24:15 No cheesebugers But seriously go to Abraham at the tent serving God Lunch. Quick, Sarah make bread, servant prepares a calf ( beef) and Abe brings curds (cheese) and milk. So it could be that Abe was the first to make a cheeseburger... not a Bacon Cheeseburger of course, Because that could be bad. But YHWH could be the source for being the first Burger King!! And their slogan was - " Have it Yah Way" like Abe saying "Here, have it, Yahway".. just a thought
27:50 I see no reason to conclude that the kings list goes hundreds of years past Moses. Gen 36:31-39 NHEB 31 These are the kings (it does not say descendants of Edom) who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel. 1. Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah. 2. When Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place. 3. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 4*. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad who struck Midian in the field of Moab reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith. 5. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 6. And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth-on-the-River reigned in his place. 7. And Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 8. And Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadad reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab. *Because Hadad smote the Midianites, we have to conclude that the Midianites were already a people group by his time. So he reigned probably no earlier than around the time of the 12 patriarchs. But this is no problem because the story of Joseph has the Midianites already a people group by the time he sold it to slavery in Egypt. But this is still some 300 years before Moses and there are only four more kings listed after him! There is absolutely no reason to conclude that this kings list goes past the time of Moses.
Wasn't El the name of a Canaanite god? (1:00)Indicates the use of the name El as either a generic term for a god, or even naming an actual one, making Elohim the term used for describing the followers of El, as in Genesis 6:1-4, or sons of God. That would imply that there was an evolution of theology from early religions into the monotheistic God of Abraham. Noah's 2x2 of unclean, and 7x2 of clean, sounds like provisioning the ship!!
Why was there no commandment not to enslave a fellow human being? Thou shalt not enslave a human being created by the almighty; something like that. It's like the bible only favors a certain group of people. That sounds like a tribal book for me - story about a small set of the world population.
The Old testament is written from a Jewish perspective as they considered themselves God's chosen people, as is the New Testament. This makes me, personally, wonder why so many Western (non Jewish) people hold so much store in it.
I think in their mind they couldn't run a proper kingdom without slaves, otherwise they would have to do the work the slaves did. Everyone did slavery back then. As far as I'm concerned they lived in a kind of hell compared with the reality of us in the developed world. The romans and the Greeks couldn't imagine a world without slavery either. Actually slavery is kind of a feature of civilisation. Early prositution was slavers renting out female slaves to be graped all day every day. Many, many wives were slaves by our modern concept; they didn't agree to marry, most were too young to bear children safely, they couldn't refuse consent or leave by free will. Weve only started to understand how disgusting it is recently, like last 2 hundred years maximum. In my mothers lifetime a woman could divorce her husband without going to court and in my lifetime a woman gained the right to give or refuse sexual consent - were Australian. These are very modern concepts, and Judaism and Christianity doesn't reinforce these things, us humans just got more ethical as our life got better and more educated so we could develop more empathy.
Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. 5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ 6 then his master must take him before the judges.[a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. 7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself,[b] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money. Exodus 21:20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Exodus 21:26 “An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. 27 And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.
I didn't expect many many hours of lectures. Could anyone, I dunno, sum it up for me? From what I understand, when you go back far enough, the Hebrew culture, language and religion merges with the Canaanite culture, language and religion. And it's suspected that Yahweh was originally part of the Canaanite pantheon of gods. Is that close enough?
@@michaelhenry1763 The "Actually" threw me off a bit. It seemed at first like you were correcting me. But I agree. To my knowledge, that's correct. El was their Zeus. I didn't know Yahweh was imported but he was the war god wasn't he? He was their equivalent to Aries. So what part was imported?
@@PaulTheSkeptic yes, thank you , I am not trying to correct you. The origins of YHWH are a little complicated. You are right, he was part of the Canaanite pantheon, he did absorb the roles of El and Baal. It seems he was originally a war god from the “‘south”. Then grafted into the Canaanite pantheon.
@@michaelhenry1763 I should say, that's my understanding. I'm not any kind of expert. Sometimes even well researched stuff can go a little wrong if you don't have a background in the subject. Mostly I'm just making conversation.

From what I understood is that the 2 of 7 that were ultimately recognized was what was preserved. That means that 5 of the 7 were allowed to be eaten by those who were to withstand the plight of being within the ark. Could be multiple authors but may not be conflictive information if one author is suggesting survival. Various teachings are important and most have valid viewpoints to consider. I mean, as a child, I sincerely thought to be made in His image was to be made to be SEEN. Like, we are in the physical realm that allows all that we do to be seen by every entity outside of this realm. (A poor example would be like our televisions allow us to see the performers and their performance but they are unable to see us watching them.)

Great summary. I looked this up after watching a video about how writers who invoke the Bible like to mix and match verses to suit their storyline. This video served as an excellent background to how such different messages became available to choose.
I can interpret Genesis 7:1-2 additional to, instead of contradicting with, 6:19, 7:8-9. Considering "pure .. They came by twos", the instruction to Noah, "take seven pairs", could be complied with fetching the additional six pairs from his livestock or elsewhere. The introduction of the custom of offering livestock maybe has to do with priests that want to eat.
8:14 thing my brother is first there is the what will happen then the how it happened. That the animals came in pairs of two. Doesn't mean there aren't still seven separate pairs.
Very good presentation. I believe the Redactor is Ptolemy Philadelphus. I also believe that, of the representatives that went to Egypt, the Judahites greatly outnumbered the Samaritans (formerly the Israelites) and that's why the J, P and D versions lean in their favor. This is also the reason for the split between them.
@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz the Torah was translated in the early to mid 3rd century BCE. This is the septuagint. There are no biblical texts in existence that are older than than the mid 3rd century. The evidence for this is twofold; 1. The early Greek language, contemporary citations and datable manuscripts. 2. The earliest dating of oldest biblical texts is mid 2nd century. Long after the time of the septuagint. Keep in mind, I didn't say the septuagint is the original source for the stories in the bible. Just that they, the translators were the redactors, and I believe first compilers, of what is the present day Torah.
@@steveb2662 I dont get it, just because the manuscripts are not available it does not mean that at it could not have been compiled at the time of Ezra. What Book did Ezra have in the 500s then?
I have a problem with the number of animals garnered if Noah (?) rounded up all. The number of species extant is about 7 million. Boggles my mind. Must be a myth. The ark would be about the size of Texas.
@@waltseng1014 If the animals were extinct, then they were not on the ark,.....any animal species that came after the flood came from the original kind (genettic switches )that was on the ark........also the animals could have been put in a state of hibernation, thus solving the feeding and waste problems.
In Leviticus 9:24 all the people "fell on their faces" when they saw the burnt offering being "consumed". Were they ashamed ? Were they astounded ? Were they showing subjection/subordination ? Perhaps they thought that they could see God (fire) consuming the offering on the altar. Fire is amazing, even when you know exactly what chemical reaction is taking place.
It's well known now the the Bible started to be written at the order of Josiah, king of Judah, in the 7th century before JC. He had created monotheism by forbidding any other cult than the one of Yahve (who before that was one god among others), and needed a glorious (but invented) past. There has never benn hebrew slaves in Egypt, no escape, no crossing of the desert during 40 years, no conquest of Canaan, no great kindom with David and Solomon...
When does a book start to be written? when the author has the first idea for that book, or when the author puts the first letter on paper? What if parts of the newly written book are copied from older books? Does then the newly written book start when the first letter of the part that was copied was put on paper (or before) in the book it copied from?
@@BlacksmithTWD The bible started to be written at the order of King Josiah, and was far from being finished when Josiah was killed by egyptians, but his scribes contined the work, including when deported in Babylon. The bible isn't 100% imaginary, mentionned places exist, so do some of the characters, for example David existed, but was a small tribe chief, not a great king...
@@78Dipar Obviously it wasn't finished When King Josia died, the whole new testament still needed to be written at that moment. Merely repeating your claim doesn't answer the question I posed. Do you intend to keep talking passed each other or are you going to make a genuine attempt at answering it? Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my formulation of my question, if needed I can elaborate on it.
@@BlacksmithTWD Its about the old testament, not the new one ! As I wrote the old tesmament wasn't finished to be written when king Josiah was killed. The new testament is something else, and was written long after !
@@78Dipar No, you specifically stated 'the bible', and the bible includes both the old and the new testament. Though if you had stated 'the old testament' instead , I would have agreed with you as well. There is no fundamental disagreement between us as far as I can see.
Before watching the video....my guess is: The Romans wrote the bible. After watching the video: J sounds like the original concepts set forth by paganism, egyptian, greek, etc. E is beginning to lay claim that Israel is the source of those earlier beliefs P & D is the Roman Catholicism (P) and Apologetic (D) takes on J & E R is simple post hoc apologetics At best, we know that it was written by people who had personal motivations to lay claim to what god is and what god wants. Knowing that Christianity is plagiarization of numerous earlier and dominant belief systems; the bible is written to lay claim of such beliefs as well as demonize those who continue to exercise those beliefs without paying fealty to the systemic hierarchy of Christianity. While this presentation focuses only on the bible, with a feint gesture to what came before it. It's more important to explore the origin of the contents of the bible with a study on how the bible has been distorted away from those origins.
Um there is no reason to believe Romans had any power to alter Torah Jewish texts at any time, they could have exercised a lot of control of "New Testament" works tho, they would have needed collaborators.
For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this system of things? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not get to know God through its wisdom, God was pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.
@@dantallman5345 What point was I making? I was simply quoting the words of the apostle a Paul (1 Corinthians 1:19-21) who in turn was quoting the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 29:14) who was actually quoting the words of the author of the Bible, Jehovah God. He mocks the pride and false wisdom of both those who proclaim them selves wise and the sycophants who praise them. Jehovah said: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.“ As Paul put it, the “so called” wisdom of this world actually prevents them from getting to know God. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that; “The wise have been put to shame. They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom do they have? (Jeremiah 8:9)
@@ld8936 I think you have failed to grasp the point of the video. God was not the author of the Bible. You also need to do some research on the pre-Judaic, tribal pantheism from which monotheism evolved. You also seemed to have been snared by the trap in logic, of the propositional given; namely that god exists.
I ask them to tell me exactly what words Pilate had written on the Cross, since the words read differently in all four gospels. I have yet to get a straight answer.
No man is good let alone great. This guy is a Pharisee. Your just u learned and lazy. You will believe anything but you won't study. Stop believing some guy just because he puts on a show and uses buzz words and a stage.
44:55 Regarding the change from "anger of the Lord" to "Satan", I believe they could be the same. When God is upset, people must be doing evil or Satanic things which bring forth Satan.
There is no major commandment against lying in general. “Bearing false witness against your neighbor,” refers to a specific lie against a fellow Jew. Leviticus 19:11 do not deal falsely or lie to each other (to the people receiving the message: Jewish men). The Bible rewards certain types of deception, such as Abraham and Isaac deceiving Pharaoh and gaining significant wealth from it.
BRAVO! Very informative and thought-provoking. & You could become millionaires by teaching other lecture videographers how to include the visual slides or powerpoint presentation on the screen instead of simply showing the speaker's face.
Did God say don't eat meat and any milk products in the same meal. That is what the Jews call Kosher & not what was written. Is it allowed to eat a hamburger then 15 min later to have milk ice cream ? Can I eat a beef hamburger with goat cheese ? The audience were herdsmen who know what calf came form what cow, that makes it easy to not mix the two.
About the pronunciation of the sacred, divine name, YhVh. The Rabbis passed down a tradition from one generation to the next to remember the pronunciation. So it was never actually lost. What happened is that at some point they decided it was taboo to say the word out loud. This word was generally only supposed to be spoken on Yom Kipur, by the high priest in the holy of holies. So after the temple fell, with the belief that eventually messiah will come and the temple will be rebuilt, they continued to pass down the pronunciation, only within certain Rabbinical schools and only to those of a certain status and education let's say. We have a letter from a Rabbi Mayer of Lublin. In the letter he states plainly that the mnemonic to remember the vowels are "le holam". Which if you understand hebrew you would understand the meaning of that if you had to decipher it. The vowels basically. And he stated plainly they are sheva, cholam and kamatz. They kept this a secret and denied this because Christians were running around using the name out loud. And telling other people it was ok to say it out loud. In the Rabbinical belief, they considered this dangerous. Not only dangerous but one of the worst "sins" one can make. They believe saying the word takes you out of yourself and into "eternity", which they claim is dangerous and something you aren't supposed to experience til death or some mumbo jumbo along those lines. We have to remember how much word magic exists in the Hebrew tradition. From golem spells, to sacred names. The Khabbalists got very into this even, and in Kabbalah there is the 42 letter sacred name and all that. Anyway, the pronunciation was passed down. And the vowels are indeed E, O and A. Which is "Yehovah" or "Yehowah". Now, "holam" which is a vowel sign in the Hebrew context, used to be pronounced and spelled "holem". So I'm not sure if the actual pronunciation would agree more with the old or new. But if this is the case, then the early pronunciation might have very well been "Yehoweh" or "Yehoveh" or in a lazier pronunciation, Yahweh. or Yaveh. But as far as the Rabbis of the early modern period and later were concerned, it would have been "Yehowah" or "Yehovah".
Question for the presenter: have you noticed that Leviticus also contains a list of commandments that claim they were given to Moses from God at Mt. Sinai for the Israelites? Leviticus 27 In verse 34 below, it refers to this whole section by stating: “These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.” 1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, 3 set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel 4 for a female, set her value at thirty shekels 5 for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels 6 for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver; 7 for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels. 8 If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford. 9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy. 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal-one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord-the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value. 14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs. 16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it-fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the Lord; it will become priestly property. 22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel. 26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value. 28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the Lord-whether a human being or an animal or family land-may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the Lord. 29 “‘No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death. 30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod-will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’” 34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
Why did Noah have to bring more than one of each animal onto the Ark when the God he worshipped could impregnate a human female without the use of the male sperm, surely his God with all that power could have come forward and multiplied the animals using the same method?
Its an allegory for the official establishment of "one man one woman" patriarchal culture. male supremacy becomes normalized by this event. Noah was the charismatic leader of a global mens sexual rights movement, today we would have called him an incel.

Sure, but why the classist snearing about "goat herders"? It's a perfectly respectable occupation, and a lot more useful than being a king or a priest.
They are not only grim,a lot of them are immoral, and are some what evil.The endorsement of slavery, by a supposed god, the command by a so called god to commit genocide,pure evil !there is no god, there are evil people that manipulate the masses into believing in a god, for their own selfish ends,or to ease their own guilt at having slaughtered an entire population, pure evil dressed up as religion!

Sad, there is no contradiction in the two sets of verses on the animals coming by twos. All 14 of the animals that were clean would come by twos, don't you get it, they came in breeding pairs. How narrow must the mind be to not see that simple truth. All 14 of a clean group didn't show up together, they came by twos. Wow.
The Deuteronomist is presumed to be a Levite priest from the Mosiac 'camp' at Shiloh. Solomon selected an Aaronite Levite High Priest for the first temple, and as a result, the Mosiac Levite priests 'lost' the power battle. The Aaronites controlled Temple worship until the destruction of the second temple in 70CE. The tension between D and P is a best understood from this perspective.

It is refreshing to hear a self-identifying Christian delivering a cogent lecture on the origins of scripture instead of engaging in dubious logical apologetics in an attempt to justify their belief in Biblical inerrancy.
Tell me about it, as sumbunny who was raised in the southern United States I almost experienced shock induced head-explodey after discovering this channel.
Even the "nicest" Christians out there practiced shunning techniques on me. No need to mention what the regulars did, most of us already know that experience.
If more Christians behaved like this there sure would be a lot less angry, resentful atheists in the world.
Well why not? Books are books. I think someone can consider themselves as religious not because he is dogmatic, but because some elements of religion are appealing for him
@@balsarmy Because a vast majority of Christians in the southern United States are loud, oppressive and obnoxious?

@@Arthurian_Rabbit "Scholarly folk who happen to like the Abrahamic faiths and enjoy/recognize the allegories in them are not common."
This isn't true at all, in my observation. I think people like this are pretty common, but the shrieking fundamentalists just make a lot more noise, by their nature.
Yes, those of us who grew up in the "land of Biblical Inerrancy" (The American South) grew up with a lot of nonsense that the scholarly interpretation doesn't need. Trying to say the Bible is inerrant, but then watching someone dance around the many, many inconsistencies and contradictions was always fairly ridiculous.
As a former Jehovah"s Witness this was a hugely enlightening lecture! Ive read yhe bible 3x in english, once in Spanish and ive read the Greek Interlinear Translation.
This shows how much goes over your head when you're reading and not actually analyzing. Horeb vs Saini; Raul vs Jethro; the differences in the 10 commandments; Learning El, Elohim and YahWeh don't all represent the name of God, nor were the regering to the same God in the beginning or that Elohim is Gods plural!
There was so much we thought we knew that we didn't remotely understand which i now realize is common trait of that religion.
Excellent work. (No offense to J.Ws)

Very good lecture, interesting from start to finish.
@13:06 An additional problem with the Eve-creation myth is that the Hebrew word translated as "rib" doesn't actually mean "rib". It means "side" or "half." "Rib" is used only to denigrate women as secondary.
When I was 14, the deacons of the Missionary Baptist church (my parents dragged me to) asked me to create a series of posters showing the (6) days of creation for their missionary work. So, I started drawing the days' tasks in, but then happened to read critically beyond that, to find the second of the three creation myths in those first books of Genesis, the ones that creationists ignore, on purpose. I gave them their drawing supplies back and told them that it couldn't be done, to fit their Bible-inerrancy tenet. They looked completely lost when confronted with the actual situation of the Scriptures, and how it deflates their naïve Bible-Idolatry.
The things I have found truly boggles and annoys the jEebussy are Jeshuas actual name and that 'Messiah' means gOds chosen instrument to deliver Israel to POLITICAL independence, which jEebus is not claimed to do even in hIs own P.R.

There seems to have been a period in ancient history, where trickiness, even deceit, was valued as a useful human trait
Still is today is it not?
"Love thy neighbough" first appears in Leviticus 19:18
The next time it appears is in Matthew 5:43...
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbough and hate thine enemy..."
Jesus is recalling the earlier commandment(s) before making up a new one !
Actually hate is condemned long before Moses: when Cain wroth against Able and than hated him, as in the context of Deut 19:11 explained….
God condemned even being wroth. So this was no new commandment Jesus gave, and he said it too.
Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I don't always agree with Jesus.
For example in Luke 14:13 he said ...
"When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and the deaf".

Are you a believer or a nonbeliever? There is no middle ground. An agnostic can be either. Intelligent believers and atheists are agnostics (in my opinion) the rest are fundamentalists and they include the fanatics.
@@fibber2u I think with most things there's a spectrum for agnosticism, and I don't think it unlikely for there to be folk around the middle. As for myself, I'm not entirely sure how to answer where I lie on the scale, as it's fairly complicated and would take a lot more delving than your average YT comment.
Lets just say that I maintain a healthy attitude of: "I just don't know!"
I enjoy theorizing, and I certainly want to believe in something beyond just a physical reality with nothing else to it, so there's that.

@@fibber2u the definition of atheism is merely the lack of belief in a deity. No agnosticism is necessary.

Please remember that these stories started and spread orally in the ancient near east before they were written down.
And then there is the question of how long the oral tradition existed before they were written down. If long enough, it could even be that (some of) these stories started elsewhere.
I wouldn't even say they "started." The origins of the stories were already ancient in ancient times.

Nonsense, the book form existed way before the printing press was invented. Though obviously the first printed book originated from after the invention of the printing press. Perhaps you meant to say that the book form surpassed the scroll form in popularity only after the invention of the printing press?
not true,......the scrolls of moses (the torah 1500bc) was put under the ark of the covenant and was copied by expert scribes by God's instructions, ....throughout the Hebrew history, ....the bible tells the story of a misplaced sroll, (probably lev.) that was found behind the alter and the king ,I believe it was Hezekiah asked a copiest ,I believe it was Ezra to read it aloud to the congregation, ....this continued up to the exile to Babylon and after.(600bc-1200ad.masorites).

Excellent exposition of the Documentary Hypothesis 👏
This topic has always fascinated me but I’m afraid it will never be anything more than just a hypothesis unless we are able to find some other ancient biblical texts that predate the Qumran scrolls. I recently read an article on NYTimes regarding an old story about an archaeologist who discovered an ancient version of Deuteronomy (possibly dating to the 1st temple period). It was declared a forgery and the discoverer later committed suicide. However, now there are scholars saying it may not have been a forgery but it is long lost. This was about 100 years ago.
Try researching the Gospel of Judas. It's authenticated by The Pope and the Vatican. It shows Jesus deeply mired in metaphysics and his favorite disciple was his youngest: Judas. Additional details in the new e-book: 'Candy Coated Jesus.'
No way texts that old will have survived. So it will remain a theory, as will any other scholarly views of the Bible. We'll never be able to prove it
@@oliverford5367 Yes it is possible as was the case for the ancient papyrus text from Egypt known as “the story of wenamun” dated to 1000 BCE, predating the Qumran scrolls by about 900 years. And many of the biblical texts are said to have been written between the time of these two texts so it is possible that something may be discovered through future excavations.
You don't believe in the Textus Receptus but you believe the New York Times. Get outta here.
@@HOWBAZARY not a fan of NYTimes but they were the only ones with that story: “Is a Long-Dismissed Forgery Actually the Oldest Known Biblical Manuscript? - The New York Times”
I'm curious 8:21 We're looking at English translations of scripture here. What does the Hebrew text say about these two sections of scripture that were pointed out? I realize things get lost in translation, but to be far. If it was 2, 7, or more. How does that negate the end result?

Question: if we can’t make statues in any form, doesn’t it violate the Ten Commandments to make a monument of the Ten Commandments?
Absolutely!
@@michaelhenry1763 I think if you look at it in that light we would also need to take objection to monuments made to the cross, depictions of God the Father and the Son, as well as pretty much any venerated religious symbol. Idolatry, or the worship of objects or even depictions and symbols, casts a very wide net. Ideally, I think Jesus intended matters of the spirit to remain in the mind and within the spiritual realm. However, I do myself wear a cross as a personal comfort - I don't worship the object. Catholic veneration of "icons" could be deemed Idolatry if you take the strictest definition.
@@brevaldez4891 Yes, you are absolutely right. Everything you have written could be considered violating the “ graven images” commandment. I think that is why Christians since the Reformation have argued over it. That is why the Eastern Roman Empire destroyed itself over icons in late antiquity. I think this why Islam follows the Jewish approach and also bans images.
Is it “ wrong”.? Objectively no, it is part of your religion. However, internally, it is contradicting its own tenets if it claims the Hebrew Bible as part of its own.
As for Jesus, he never addressed this commandment.
Where is it written that we can’t make statues “in any form”? I’ll save you the trouble of answering- it’s not written anywhere in scripture.

One question. What are your thoughts on Rudolph Steiner? Do you know who he is?
I know who he was: the creator of anthroposophy, which is a mixture of philosophy and guide to life/principles. I used to teach on a Rudolf Steiner school. We were also supposed to read his written work as part of our employment. Very dense stuff linguistically. Like JJ Rousseau: asking the right questions does not mean you are also able to provide the right answer. Steiner (or Walsdorf in English speaking countries) schools can be very good for some kids, and I met some wonderful people. On the other hand, a bit of sectarian whiff, and they are currently vaccination sceptics, which is not a good plan.

Some guys who figured out early that most people are sheep...and can be taking advantage off...those wrote the bible.
That would be denying any oral tradition preceiding scripture. Got a logical argument for that or are you merely expressing your tenets of faith?
There are other written sources on clay tablets.
@@dabouras I'm aware of that, thank you. I just don't see how it strengthens or diminishes my point.
Did you mean that the apostles wrote the Bible to take advantage of people? LO------' Most of them died a horrible martyrs death to bring the truth to us.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing these ideas. I've been studying the messy history of the mormons, especially since the time of Brigham Young and all the changes he made to Joseph smith's journals and revelations. It's so messy! It's interesting to see how messy Biblical history is, too.
Yes, all religious history tends to be messy
Cool story Mark ‼️
This is interesting, I hadn’t realized that God must’ve given the dietary laws to Noah before Moses and yet Noah was not commanded to observe them. He was allowed to eat anything that moved after the flood of as over.
Read the bible properly - Genesis 9:4
Noah and his family were only given the restriction to abstain from eating 'flesh with it's blood' - repeated for Christians at Acts 15:20
Noah was not given the same dietary laws that were later introduced under the Mosaic Law covenant that only applied to the nation of Israel - natural Jews that were liberated from their captivity in Egypt.
@@Chris_Sheridan My point was that God had made it known to Noah the difference between clean and unclean animals.
@@mikewiththebluecar .. that is possible, however, the bible account does say that when the time arrived, God brought the animals to Noah - so Noah + his family didn't have to go searching. Then it would have become apparent by checking the pairs (groups of 2) and the groups of 7, which were the 'clean' and which were the 'unclean' - evidently God (Yahweh) had in mind that after the flood, Noah would offer up a sacrifice on an alter. - Genesis 8:20
@@Chris_Sheridan In my opinion because God told Noah to bring 7 of each clean animal and 2 of each unclean animal it suggests that Noah already knew the difference between the two, otherwise God would’ve had to then explain the difference between them because at that point Noah didn’t know that God was going to bring them to him. That’s just going by what the scriptures state. There could’ve been more dialogue between God & Noah that wasn’t recorded in that conversation.
Who is the speaker?
Dont cook the goat (to complete by) "AS LONG AS IT IS DEPENDEND ON" milk from its mother. Means don't cause heartbreak to its mother, by taking her child from her. This is the empathic moral lesson of the text, as of the verbal content. The "kosher" philosophy is neither evident nor functional in context.
Or: do not eat a goat before it has had time to reproduce. This is the essence of conservation and is used in fishing (fishing permits prescribe a certain size) and behind the rules of culling animals. A good rule.
LOL at 24:15 No cheesebugers But seriously go to Abraham at the tent serving God Lunch. Quick, Sarah make bread, servant prepares a calf ( beef) and Abe brings curds (cheese) and milk. So it could be that Abe was the first to make a cheeseburger... not a Bacon Cheeseburger of course, Because that could be bad. But YHWH could be the source for being the first Burger King!! And their slogan was - " Have it Yah Way" like Abe saying "Here, have it, Yahway".. just a thought
😂
But clean/unclean is Mosaic Law, hundreds if not thousands of years after Noah.
27:50 I see no reason to conclude that the kings list goes hundreds of years past Moses.
Gen 36:31-39 NHEB 31 These are the kings (it does not say descendants of Edom) who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel.
1. Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah.
2. When Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
3. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
4*. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad who struck Midian in the field of Moab reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith.
5. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
6. And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth-on-the-River reigned in his place.
7. And Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
8. And Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadad reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
*Because Hadad smote the Midianites, we have to conclude that the Midianites were already a people group by his time. So he reigned probably no earlier than around the time of the 12 patriarchs. But this is no problem because the story of Joseph has the Midianites already a people group by the time he sold it to slavery in Egypt. But this is still some 300 years before Moses and there are only four more kings listed after him!
There is absolutely no reason to conclude that this kings list goes past the time of Moses.
I am impressed by the questions coming out of the audience.
Wasn't El the name of a Canaanite god? (1:00)Indicates the use of the name El as either a generic term for a god, or even naming an actual one, making Elohim the term used for describing the followers of El, as in Genesis 6:1-4, or sons of God. That would imply that there was an evolution of theology from early religions into the monotheistic God of Abraham.
Noah's 2x2 of unclean, and 7x2 of clean, sounds like provisioning the ship!!
Why was there no commandment not to enslave a fellow human being? Thou shalt not enslave a human being created by the almighty; something like that. It's like the bible only favors a certain group of people. That sounds like a tribal book for me - story about a small set of the world population.
The Old testament is written from a Jewish perspective as they considered themselves God's chosen people, as is the New Testament. This makes me, personally, wonder why so many Western (non Jewish) people hold so much store in it.
I think in their mind they couldn't run a proper kingdom without slaves, otherwise they would have to do the work the slaves did. Everyone did slavery back then. As far as I'm concerned they lived in a kind of hell compared with the reality of us in the developed world. The romans and the Greeks couldn't imagine a world without slavery either. Actually slavery is kind of a feature of civilisation. Early prositution was slavers renting out female slaves to be graped all day every day. Many, many wives were slaves by our modern concept; they didn't agree to marry, most were too young to bear children safely, they couldn't refuse consent or leave by free will. Weve only started to understand how disgusting it is recently, like last 2 hundred years maximum. In my mothers lifetime a woman could divorce her husband without going to court and in my lifetime a woman gained the right to give or refuse sexual consent - were Australian. These are very modern concepts, and Judaism and Christianity doesn't reinforce these things, us humans just got more ethical as our life got better and more educated so we could develop more empathy.
@@peterleadley7103right? Like why are they appropriating our culture?
Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ 6 then his master must take him before the judges.[a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.
7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself,[b] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.
Exodus 21:20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
Exodus 21:26 “An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. 27 And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.
It makes sense that God would have a chosen people that he favors above people who hate Him.
I didn't expect many many hours of lectures. Could anyone, I dunno, sum it up for me? From what I understand, when you go back far enough, the Hebrew culture, language and religion merges with the Canaanite culture, language and religion. And it's suspected that Yahweh was originally part of the Canaanite pantheon of gods. Is that close enough?
Actually, El was the chief god in the Canaanite pantheon. YHWH, May have been imported from Moab.
@@michaelhenry1763 The "Actually" threw me off a bit. It seemed at first like you were correcting me. But I agree. To my knowledge, that's correct. El was their Zeus. I didn't know Yahweh was imported but he was the war god wasn't he? He was their equivalent to Aries. So what part was imported?
@@PaulTheSkeptic yes, thank you , I am not trying to correct you. The origins of YHWH are a little complicated. You are right, he was part of the Canaanite pantheon, he did absorb the roles of El and Baal. It seems he was originally a war god from the “‘south”. Then grafted into the Canaanite pantheon.
@@michaelhenry1763 I should say, that's my understanding. I'm not any kind of expert. Sometimes even well researched stuff can go a little wrong if you don't have a background in the subject. Mostly I'm just making conversation.

Great summary. I looked this up after watching a video about how writers who invoke the Bible like to mix and match verses to suit their storyline. This video served as an excellent background to how such different messages became available to choose.
I can interpret Genesis 7:1-2 additional to, instead of contradicting with, 6:19, 7:8-9. Considering "pure .. They came by twos", the instruction to Noah, "take seven pairs", could be complied with fetching the additional six pairs from his livestock or elsewhere. The introduction of the custom of offering livestock maybe has to do with priests that want to eat.
Or they were possibly authored by 2 different authors (or groups of authors) and then amalgamated into the book of genesis.

Very good presentation. I believe the Redactor is Ptolemy Philadelphus.

This is also the reason for the split between them.

@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz the Torah was translated in the early to mid 3rd century BCE. This is the septuagint. There are no biblical texts in existence that are older than than the mid 3rd century.

2. The earliest dating of oldest biblical texts is mid 2nd century. Long after the time of the septuagint.

It's well known now the the Bible started to be written at the order of Josiah, king of Judah, in the 7th century before JC. He had created monotheism by forbidding any other cult than the one of Yahve (who before that was one god among others), and needed a glorious (but invented) past.
There has never benn hebrew slaves in Egypt, no escape, no crossing of the desert during 40 years, no conquest of Canaan, no great kindom with David and Solomon...
When does a book start to be written? when the author has the first idea for that book, or when the author puts the first letter on paper? What if parts of the newly written book are copied from older books? Does then the newly written book start when the first letter of the part that was copied was put on paper (or before) in the book it copied from?

The bible started to be written at the order of King Josiah, and was far from being finished when Josiah was killed by egyptians, but his scribes contined the work, including when deported in Babylon.

No, you specifically stated 'the bible', and the bible includes both the old and the new testament. Though if you had stated 'the old testament' instead , I would have agreed with you as well. There is no fundamental disagreement between us as far as I can see.

Before watching the video....my guess is: The Romans wrote the bible.
After watching the video:
J sounds like the original concepts set forth by paganism, egyptian, greek, etc.
E is beginning to lay claim that Israel is the source of those earlier beliefs
P & D is the Roman Catholicism (P) and Apologetic (D) takes on J & E
R is simple post hoc apologetics
At best, we know that it was written by people who had personal motivations to lay claim to what god is and what god wants.
Knowing that Christianity is plagiarization of numerous earlier and dominant belief systems; the bible is written to lay claim of such beliefs as well as demonize those who continue to exercise those beliefs without paying fealty to the systemic hierarchy of Christianity.
While this presentation focuses only on the bible, with a feint gesture to what came before it.
It's more important to explore the origin of the contents of the bible with a study on how the bible has been distorted away from those origins.
Um there is no reason to believe Romans had any power to alter Torah Jewish texts at any time, they could have exercised a lot of control of "New Testament" works tho, they would have needed collaborators.
Do you have any recommendations for content that explores the distortion of the origins of the content of the bible?
Great as ever! One surplus, compared to most of your other talks: this one heavily benefits from the many questions and comments of your listeners.
Our God is an all consuming fire.
What is the name of the presenter? Excellent lecture!
For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this system of things? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not get to know God through its wisdom, God was pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.
The point being?
@@dantallman5345 What point was I making? I was simply quoting the words of the apostle a Paul (1 Corinthians 1:19-21) who in turn was quoting the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 29:14) who was actually quoting the words of the author of the Bible, Jehovah God. He mocks the pride and false wisdom of both those who proclaim them selves wise and the sycophants who praise them. Jehovah said: “I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject.“ As Paul put it, the “so called” wisdom of this world actually prevents them from getting to know God. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that; “The wise have been put to shame. They have become terrified and will be caught. Look! They have rejected the word of Jehovah, And what wisdom do they have? (Jeremiah 8:9)
Thx for the clarification. Although it was more or less what I expected, I do appreciate the specifics you provided. All the best.
@@dantallman5345 Thank you Dan

I think you have failed to grasp the point of the video. God was not the author of the Bible. You also need to do some research on the pre-Judaic, tribal pantheism from which monotheism evolved. You also seemed to have been snared by the trap in logic, of the propositional given; namely that god exists.
But even if the Literalist do not accept Scholarship, they can see the differing versions of same passages. How has that been explained by them?
I ask them to tell me exactly what words Pilate had written on the Cross, since the words read differently in all four gospels. I have yet to get a straight answer.
WHAT A GREAT MAN...
I HAVE SAVED THE VIDEO THANK YOU....
No man is good let alone great. This guy is a Pharisee. Your just u learned and lazy. You will believe anything but you won't study. Stop believing some guy just because he puts on a show and uses buzz words and a stage.
44:55 Regarding the change from "anger of the Lord" to "Satan", I believe they could be the same. When God is upset, people must be doing evil or Satanic things which bring forth Satan.
Food for thought. Why didn't the almighty just go ahead and create more animals instead of making Noah go thru that?
There is no major commandment against lying in general. “Bearing false witness against your neighbor,” refers to a specific lie against a fellow Jew.
Leviticus 19:11 do not deal falsely or lie to each other (to the people receiving the message: Jewish men).
The Bible rewards certain types of deception, such as Abraham and Isaac deceiving Pharaoh and gaining significant wealth from it.
The Yahwist author doesn't portray his heroes as perfect saints. They do a lot of naughty stuff. It's quite refreshing in a way.
@@oliverford5367 Maybe. Does any religious text paint the heroes as perfect?
BRAVO! Very informative and thought-provoking. & You could become millionaires by teaching other lecture videographers how to include the visual slides or powerpoint presentation on the screen instead of simply showing the speaker's face.
Closed caption misses a lot
"Do not cook a kid in its mother's milk" means no cheese-burger :-)
Don't mix milk products with milk. Not Kosher...!!!!
@MultiBagram Just simple minded ancient humans interpretation of of it.
@MultiBagram he was wrong. The cult of dionysus would do that. So early jewish people rebelled.
@MultiBagram the cult of dionysus did that
Did God say don't eat meat and any milk products in the same meal. That is what the Jews call Kosher & not what was written.
Is it allowed to eat a hamburger then 15 min later to have milk ice cream ?
Can I eat a beef hamburger with goat cheese ?
The audience were herdsmen who know what calf came form what cow, that makes it easy to not mix the two.
34:05 it's not only a modern thing. Josephus apparently had done it. I believe Clement of Alexandria did it too. Probably countless others did it.
I've yet to see a sermon on the Chinese who wrote 2500 YEARS before Moses on this topic!
Even further back Africa details this.
Both of you are full of it. Show evidence, it's easy to make outlandish claims.
@@HOWBAZARYtwo years later, no evidence has been presented.
About the pronunciation of the sacred, divine name, YhVh. The Rabbis passed down a tradition from one generation to the next to remember the pronunciation. So it was never actually lost.
What happened is that at some point they decided it was taboo to say the word out loud. This word was generally only supposed to be spoken on Yom Kipur, by the high priest in the holy of holies.
So after the temple fell, with the belief that eventually messiah will come and the temple will be rebuilt, they continued to pass down the pronunciation, only within certain Rabbinical schools and only to those of a certain status and education let's say.
We have a letter from a Rabbi Mayer of Lublin. In the letter he states plainly that the mnemonic to remember the vowels are "le holam". Which if you understand hebrew you would understand the meaning of that if you had to decipher it. The vowels basically. And he stated plainly they are sheva, cholam and kamatz.
They kept this a secret and denied this because Christians were running around using the name out loud. And telling other people it was ok to say it out loud. In the Rabbinical belief, they considered this dangerous. Not only dangerous but one of the worst "sins" one can make.
They believe saying the word takes you out of yourself and into "eternity", which they claim is dangerous and something you aren't supposed to experience til death or some mumbo jumbo along those lines. We have to remember how much word magic exists in the Hebrew tradition. From golem spells, to sacred names. The Khabbalists got very into this even, and in Kabbalah there is the 42 letter sacred name and all that.
Anyway, the pronunciation was passed down. And the vowels are indeed E, O and A. Which is "Yehovah" or "Yehowah". Now, "holam" which is a vowel sign in the Hebrew context, used to be pronounced and spelled "holem". So I'm not sure if the actual pronunciation would agree more with the old or new. But if this is the case, then the early pronunciation might have very well been "Yehoweh" or "Yehoveh" or in a lazier pronunciation, Yahweh. or Yaveh.
But as far as the Rabbis of the early modern period and later were concerned, it would have been "Yehowah" or "Yehovah".

Question for the presenter: have you noticed that Leviticus also contains a list of commandments that claim they were given to Moses from God at Mt. Sinai for the Israelites?
Leviticus 27
In verse 34 below, it refers to this whole section by stating: “These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.”
1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value,
3 set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel
4 for a female, set her value at thirty shekels
5 for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels
6 for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver;
7 for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels.
8 If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.
10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy.
11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal-one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord-the animal must be presented to the priest,
12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.
13 If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.
14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.
15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.
16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it-fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.
17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains.
18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.
19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs.
20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the Lord; it will become priestly property.
22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land,
23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was.
25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s.
27 If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the Lord-whether a human being or an animal or family land-may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the Lord.
29 “‘No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.
30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
32 Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod-will be holy to the Lord.
33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”
34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
21:14 translation into English is far away from Hebrew text and its sense.
please discuss the compilation of the bible
Why did Noah have to bring more than one of each animal onto the Ark when the God he worshipped could impregnate a human female without the use of the male sperm, surely his God with all that power could have come forward and multiplied the animals using the same method?
Its an allegory for the official establishment of "one man one woman" patriarchal culture. male supremacy becomes normalized by this event. Noah was the charismatic leader of a global mens sexual rights movement, today we would have called him an incel.
@Theseustoo Astyages Actually it is you who are the conformist...to the accepted, indoctrinated norms of modern society. Christians, true Christians, are the true non-comformists. But you are blinded by your own self-deception.
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters how is any of that different from media today? Ever notice the Bible has commercials in it?
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters Bottom line is there ain't no god and there never has been so wake up to the real world.
Well to be honest I find your words and you quite boring and you are probably one of those bedroom warriors who's life has not amounted to nothing so why don't you run along little boy and out that joystick down because it's having a negative effect on your state of mind.
What he says at 1:08:00 is so true, that part is so boring and that''s where I stopped reading the Old Testament.
Whom script thy true bible? Enkidu Elohem. King of kings, See'er of see'er's. Builder of builders. Awaken source energies from thy slumber thou hath forgotten thyself. Seek and know source within. Enlightenment is now.
This lecturer is touching on things I have wondered about for decades, How did it come about that we are a species almost hopelessly caught up in fantasy and wishful thinking. I can’t help but wonder where we would be if we realized and just accepted, we are alone, we’re on our own..
Bronze age goat hearders made a lot of the fairytales up..The rest were passed down from older religions..
Sure, but why the classist snearing about "goat herders"? It's a perfectly respectable occupation, and a lot more useful than being a king or a priest.
@@yohei72 Didnt say it was a bad job..That's just what they were.Could have said they were Carpenters but they were in a desert..
They just kept inventing more ideas just in case they ran across atheists that would ask them questions they couldn't answer. Faith was a good one
Should 'Elohim' be translated 'the Gods'?
Yes, for gods
The brothers Grimm, great,great,great,grand father.
Biblical stories are grim.
They are not only grim,a lot of them are immoral, and are some what evil.The endorsement of slavery, by a supposed god, the command by a so called god to commit genocide,pure evil !there is no god, there are evil people that manipulate the masses into believing in a god, for their own selfish ends,or to ease their own guilt at having slaughtered an entire population, pure evil dressed up as religion!
What about The Bibble?
What about the Holee BuyBull?
@@robertthomas7751 Actually sounds like a good read. So long as I'm not betraying the good word of The Bibble and our savior Jimmy, I might check it out.
Sad, there is no contradiction in the two sets of verses on the animals coming by twos. All 14 of the animals that were clean would come by twos, don't you get it, they came in breeding pairs. How narrow must the mind be to not see that simple truth. All 14 of a clean group didn't show up together, they came by twos. Wow.
he is quoting from a different part you moron
The Deuteronomist is presumed to be a Levite priest from the Mosiac 'camp' at Shiloh. Solomon selected an Aaronite Levite High Priest for the first temple, and as a result, the Mosiac Levite priests 'lost' the power battle. The Aaronites controlled Temple worship until the destruction of the second temple in 70CE. The tension between D and P is a best understood from this perspective.
