Great Work
Thank you Father for your “Long Nose” and the way you provide for us day by day.
Amen!
You are such an awesome instructor! I truly enjoy all your vids and books. God is using you in so many ways; Amen! 😊
Glad you like them!
Excellent, as usual. Because of Heiser, and subsequently other real scholars such as yourself, I have come to appreciate the fact that we simply do not know exactly who (all? perhaps) or when the Tanakh was written in the FORM we now have. These literary idiosyncrasies are certainly interesting, but fortunately do NOT detract from the theological messaging. You do a fabulous job of "negotiating" these "twists and turns". Thank you.
So delighted to hear this, Bruce! Thanks for watching and for your feedback.
Welcome back, Dr. Imes. Somehow, I stopped receiving notifications. Did you ever receive the book I sent Unearthing the Bible? If not, someone else has it, God's word never returns void. Thanks again!
YES! I did receive the book! I didn't know who to thank for it. Much appreciated!
Sorry to hear you're not receiving notifications. Maybe check your RUclips account?
@CarmenJoyImesPhD It looks like I am receiving the Torah Tuesday notifications again. I've got some catching up to do. I appreciate the emphasis you put on "God's" word. I'm glad you received the book. I found it interesting, especially in ight of our Exodus studies. Enjoy!
God is indeed gracious! Great presentation!
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you - your work is excellent!
Many thanks!
Welcome back. Good talk as always
Thank you!
Do you have an Exodus commentary (commentaries) that you recommend? NICOT doesn't have Exodus 😢
My friends Charlie Trimm and Chloe Sun are coauthoring the NICOT Exodus. Watch for it in a few years.
I love Christopher Wright's Exodus commentary for Zondervan's Story of God series. I also love Terence Fretheim's for Interpretation.
This particular section is so baffling. Why complain about no meat when you have livestock and cattle with you? Even tribal people who are cattle herders today eat from their stocks. I wonder if the instigation of this complaint doesn't come from the Egyptians who formed the mixed multitude. The fact that they mention pots of meat that only Egyptians would have access to could possibly indicate the origin of the complaint? What do you think?
She answers this at 4:42
@@jimyoung9262yes its an exaggeration but it's not an answer as to why they would even ask when they had meat on the hoof right in the camp. My speculation is based on only Egyptians having meat so where would the complaint originate...possibly the very Egyptians who came out of Egypt with the Israelites...Of course still doesn't answer why the Israelites didn't just eat their own cattle. 😉
I have wondered the same thing! Perhaps their herds were more commonly used for milk than meat, and they would only eat this kind of meat as part of a sacrifice / festival. In that case, they are missing fish and wild poultry.
@CarmenJoyImesPhD a curiosity, isn't it? Even for milk products one would still eat the males as there would be a need to husband the herds breeding. I want to see if I can find out from the Messianic profs if there are Talmudic writings on this. They are often helpful for cultural insights not easily available to the nations. 😊
true that cattle herders eat from their stocks, but they are just a few in number. Maybe that's another reason they kept their herds out of town! LOL.
Is it possible that rather than exaggeration that we are hearing the voice of someone who was higher on the social strata? My mind immediately turned to the later exile when while the entire community was experiencing it. The narrative often specified the aristocrat's and Priest in the indictments. As though they were at fault for the entire communities infidelity. Maybe a social elite from the Exodus is sharing their experience?
Hi Chris! I'd love to hear more about what you're thinking. What makes this story seem like its being told by a social elite?
@CarmenJoyImesPhD you mentioned how the narrator mentioned having enough to eat back in Egypt. You felt that it was an exaggeration of life in Egypt. I'm suggesting that maybe the comment was true from the perspective of a social elite.
They usually experience life from a better standpoint. In the prophets, some of the social elites were used to help assimilate the conquered. Maybe we are hearing the voice of a social elite in the narrative when they speak of always having enough in Egypt
