- A holy book, more than 1,000 years old, is expected to fetch tens of millions at auction. Sotheby’s is selling what’s viewed as “the oldest and most complete Hebrew Bible ever discovered.” The book is now called the Codex Sassoon, and its fragile pages offer spiritual lessons that serve as the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity. This Bible was handwritten on 792 pages of parchment. The highest bidder is expected to drop anywhere from $30 million to $50 million to take it home.

It should be in a museum where it's well kept and preserved.
It’s likely that the collector will preserve it really well. If they can pay for the Bible, they can afford proper storage.
agreed
As much as I agree I feel like some jackass would just destroy it to get attention like the people who were ruining art galleries
@@mercenary1106 not if it's well protected which it should
Agree
Bible: **worth $30M**
People: " Yeah, I don't really feel like wearing gloves."
It isn’t necessary. Document handling has changed since the early 20th century. Most experts don’t use gloves because it desensitizes your sense of touch and could lead you to accidentally rip the paper.
Experts and professional archivists very rarely if ever use gloves when handling antiquarian documents anymore.
And it’s parchment so it lasts longer than paper and doesn’t tarnish as easily. It’s lasted 1,100 years a few seconds of touching a page isn’t going to damage it.
Lol 😅
gloves would protect you more than the book. better to just have clean hands
It's because it's fake
@@henrylivingstone2971 If you know how to be gentle and careful you wouldn’t rip it with gloves on. You shouldn’t pull on it at all.
As someone who can read a bit of Hebrew it is like really clear and easy even for a beginner like me.
What book is he in then
Cool

This seems like something that should be in a museum, not being auctioned and for 30 million dollars that seems like a steal considering it’s age and size.
That’s just my opinion though.

This guy knows his book handling.
This should most definitely be in a museum. It'll be safe, also, many people can view it.
I agree
Like Indiana Jones once said: "This belongs in a museum!"
I just commented that! You got here before me 😀 Good ol Indy.
The irony when the Bible teaches against greed.
True, I’d be happy if the individual who makes the purchase decides to donate it to a museum! That way future generations can appreciate it, rather than it being kept locked away in private property!

Shouldn't they wear gloves when you touch it or it isn't necessary?
I believe they’re supposed to
@@flameepidemic4839 well 💀
Unlike other artifacts, you actually don’t wear gloves when touching books (and clothing) because it’s much easier to accidentally tear a page with them on.

Yes they should. Besides the oils and unseen contaminants from your hands you could have bugs on you that enjoy the taste of 1000 year old paper. Even the light and air from outside gradually destroys the book. It would best be preserved behind UV glass and in a climate controlled environment. Of course, for a big auction/event its ok to show it off but this group seems to be a little too casual to be in charge of a masterpiece like this. Hopefully someone with a God fearing soul, or like minded organization, with good intentions and profound faith rescues the book fast and knows/wants/feels divinely convicted to preserve it.
Surprised to see a Southby dude NOT wearing gloves while handling this book 🤦🏻♀️
Probably because it's fake
@@awake-not-woke Southby’s & Christie’s do due diligence on every item they sell. Sometimes fakes do get thru. Idk

@@henrylivingstone2971 did not know they didn’t use gloves anymore! They were used in order to keep skin oils, sweat, etc from staining the parchment.
What gloves would they wear?
Would the gloves have any effect on the pages?
Do they ever use gloves for handling books?
I feel like it should be kept In a museum safe from wierd and eccentric millionaires who don't understand art or history enough to not ruin it. So anyone with interest in such a built ful piece of history could witness its beauty.
Why did they use a 0 instead of O in the title
Can’t get demonetized buy TH-cam for ageism
Non-believers: The Bible has been mistranslated thousand of times.
This Bible: Allow me to introduce myself...
“Misinterpreted” would be the proper word. It’s just like the Constitution. Identical words in a 240-year span, interpreted differently to whoever reads it.
What a funny imaginary dialogue! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mistranslated no. Intentionally changed to fit the desires of corrupt monarchs yes.
@@AL-mm9mc Agreed. It's quite sad.

Keep this in a famous History Museum.
I would definitely buy it, put it in a local museum, so it could be studied, and I can know more about ancient Bible text
Definitely* Defiantly is a totally different word.
I didn’t even see that thank you, I’ve probably been spelling it like that for a while
I’m sure it’s been studied already. Otherwise they wouldn’t know how old it is. They also said in the video that it was at an auction 30 years ago, so the Bible hasn’t just been found in an old church yesterday.
@@GrapeJuiceCXX yeah true but the Bible we read is so jumbled and in my opinion isn’t like the original, I just hope one day we can find something like this that will give us insight into the true Bible, because honestly the current Bible has been through so many corrupt monarchs it’s really hard to know if it’s as genuine as the original was
I agree with the posts on here, leave it with the museum. People would pay to see it.
Rick Harrison: Hey this is a business and I’m going to pay $20.00 USD max and not a penny more for that legit millennium old bible.
Such a dead meme
fascinating how this one has all the vowels and syllables making it even easier to read than modern hebrew in todays torahs
For the people that say it's priceless, theres already an estimate on value. Welcome to capitalism my friends, where you could destroy anything with money.
Right?
It should be priceless, and the value of the oldest bible exceeds any cost of money.
Guys from Sotheby's not wearing PPE, can't touch the most expensive bible easy as that. $30-50M not a joke.
Please put this in a museum 🙏
I'm not religious by any means but that is a very nice book and I hope whoever gets it takes good care of it

This is disrespectful and should not be on sales. I’m Muslims not Christian but I think this should be in a museum and Christian’s should have access to it.

Stuffs like this should be kept in a museum and not to the hands of private collectors. It's kinda selfish honestly when only those money launderer guys can enjoy those artifacts while those who wanted to learn about them could not study them. Worse, what if the new owner doesn't know how to take care of that book and then ended up ruining it? If you want to preserve that book, give it to the right people.
Well they still pay a LOT of money to keep it for themselves but i agree it should be in a museum for everyone
Get your money up then 😂
Was the ink redone?
Hell yea that bit got knowledge
Only 0.0001% of people can see the misspell in the title
0
How do they mistake 0 for o
Would be great to see it displayed in a synagogue in Jerusalem!
ikr! it should be shared for the whole world to see in a museum.
Why is an "O" in the title replaced with a zero?
No update?

Does it Include The Book of Enoch
The handwriting is so neat it honestly looks like it has been typed on a computer.
Exactly, the ink looks like it was typed or something. Maybe they re did the ink, but idk
Might be a fake.
How this ended up in Sotheby’s? Who owned it?
Should they really be touching it so much and turning the pages with no gloves like that? I’ve handled old math textbooks with better care.

“VERY VERY CLOSE”
I didn’t sign up for a religion with missing info
The oldest Bible is that from the Monastery of St. Catherine's on the Sinai peninsula. It is now lodged in the British Museum, having been acquired by the usual methods, which the monks characterize as theft. It dates from about the fourth century AD.

Nope, stop trying to profit off God's words. Mankind
fragile pages but you see that lady aggressively turning those pages
this should be in a museum
Is the O in old in the title a 0?
Bit of a typo, they put the number zero in the word Old instead of the letter O.
What else could you toss in?
Wow😮
Thank you to Sotheby's for the wonderfull videos of this holy book. My dream is: it ma be sold for 50 Million $ and than reach a Museum as the British Museum or the Israel Museum. Greetings from Germany.
Wow, the slap across the face of 15 million people is deafening
That’s a lot of rolling paper.

I can read Hebrew, and I wouldn't spend one cent on that. IT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST. MUSEUM!!!!
What does it say
@@braylonmathews725 its a jewish bible... I can read and translate.
Seems like someone clicked the wrong key while typing the title
man the editors of this video switched the 'O' in "Old" with a zero, lol After copying the '0' it popped up as zero, But when I was coping the 'O' photos of O's popped up.
Tbh I would store it and keep it secured for life.
I wouldn't even pay for it with a McDonald's cheeseburger
Thank you Heavenly Father for your holy word of truth JESUS
Should they sell it to someone with doesn't know how to preserve it?
I would love to...except that I am a Muslim. We Muslims do not read the Bible, but the Coran! Of course, I still have respect towards the other religions of our world; I respect everyone, no matter the religion!

How would they have mass produced these? Back then, someone would have to hand write all of that over and over??
you're right, people had to copy books word by word. mass production of books only came about after the invention of the printing press - in fact, the first book ever printed was a Bible! and even still, books have always been very expensive.
