What I SHOULD do is to read the Hammurabi Code and see how much of Leviticus is taken from that, because that was definitely an influential legal document of its time, and it's very equal...except between free and slave. It's where we get "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" from, and I wonder how similar the Leviticus Law is to it.

I still like The Bible Game. To play, you open a bible to a random page, do everything that is done by or commanded by god on that page. The last person to go to prison wins.
A dilemma for the “god fearing “ judges out there and a bonanza for defense attorneys… “Yer ronner, my client was doing as god himself commanded in the Buybull. Here’s the proof in this buybull he just swore an oath upon!”
A most sensible and erudite suggestion - in your case I'd recommend Matthew 27: 5 "and Judas went out and hanged himself" then Luke 10: 37 "go and do likewise."
I find this series so interesting. Even, perhaps especially, the deadly dull parts where god goes into excruciating detail about what he wants. It compares so well with how he will spend a single sentence justifying genocide. Really gives you a sense of god's priorities.
Getting ready for Leviticus, I've never read it so I'm gonna make some bets going into it: - Yahweh forbids rape, incest, and child abuse - Yahweh explicitly forbids slavery - Yahweh clearly defines morality - Yahweh sets his precedent for abortion in a way that cannot be misinterpreted, and perfectly aligns with the beliefs of all Jews, Christians, and Muslims everywhere - Yahweh provides a third alternative so that abortion is not necessary, so that a woman isn't forced to birth a child but the child can be born another way, and will be cared for throughout its life - Yahweh explains why the world has so many thousands of different religions and competing gods, many of them for thousands of years before these events, and resolves the matter to everyone's satisfaction - Yahweh apologizes for his abhorrent, genocidal, narcissistic, megalomaniac behavior up until now and vows to make it up to his chosen people - Yahweh stops having a chosen people, cuz he knows and acknowledges that it's wrong - Yahweh stops committing horrific atrocities - Yahweh clears up all misconceptions, contradictions, and scientific inaccuracies up until now in his big book - Yahweh works tirelessly to lead by positive example and inspires people to resolve their differences with words, through peace and compromise, in an effort to be kind and considerate to one another because reciprocal altruism leads to greater collective safety and prosperity - Yahweh provides mental health counseling for the trauma he has put these people through, to prevent genetic inheritance of stress and anxiety for eons to come - Yahweh puts an end to control through worship and obedience under threats, to prevent millenia of forced adherence to dogma out of fear - Yahweh goes back in time to undo his mistakes before they ever happened, instead of setting up scenarios he knew would fail and punishing people for his own blunders - Yahweh provides a means so that future generations, millenia later, will have reliable evidence of his existence and instructions, and won't simply have to depend on the fractured, contradictory, nonsensical mythological fables and hand-copied propaganda from superstitious broze-age nomads and their manipulative ruling priest class - Yahweh explains all the secrets and mysteries of life, death, and the universe, answers all of everyone's deep questions, and explains why he built people to have such troubling questions in the first place - The author of this work identifies themselves, lists their qualifications, indicates the date and location of authorship, provides dates for all claimed events, cites all sources, and candidly discusses the reliability of said sources to help the reader reach an unbiased conclusion as to the reliability of the information Anyone else have any guesses?
I wonder what is the point of all this! The people who should be opening their eyes about the true nature of this book are not here. The Bible is a handbook on tribalism and injustice. It even includes examples of lying to get benefits. Not to mention animal cruelty. The book should be considered inappropriate for children!
@@harveywabbit9541 Yes, of course there is😂. Afterall, the biblical writings and narratives were initially concocted, and then biblical books selected and assembled by homosapiens of the male pursuasion.
Someone did come up with the best Bible warning label, I think it covers everything quite well: WARNING: This book is a work of fiction and is not meant to be taken literally. CONTENT ADVISORY: Contains verses advocating suicide, bestiality, incest, sadomasochism, rape, murder, morbid violence, voyeurism, revenge, lawlessness, human rights violations and atrocities.

That's why the bible was forbidden to be translated ... Only the initiated could know the truth. We, the common people, were not intelligent enough to be able to "understand" the pious message of this "holy crap" (I believe this expression originated there). LOL.
When he finishes reading the Bible, I'd like him to release an audiobook. I'd buy it. Maybe it would have... Extended notes and guest stars or something.
I read the whole book by 10. Mostly because I had nothing else to read from Friday night to Saturday night... I asked questions. I got physical and mentally abused. Sorry 😐 I was Rewarded. I got neglected and told "it doesn't matter if you're going to hell because you're a bastard (child who's parents weren't married) - you still have to follow the rules.
Read the whole bible from cover to cover and it will put you off Christianity for good and all. The honest truth is that the bible is a contradictory, muddled mess. I've read it all many times, including the New Testament in its original Greek, and I can safely say that there are many other works that are far more helpful and better guides to morality than the bible is anywhere near being. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more likely, to lead high moral standard lives than are religious people and history teaches us that Christianity is a main cause of wars. Adolf Hitler was a religious man, who believed God was on his side along with that of all the German people. He was brought up in a devout Austrian Roman Catholic family and was proud of his Austrian ancestry. German is the native language of Austria.
So many detailed instructions. Wasn't God worried about their free will? Why couldn't he have spent a few sentences on the evils of owning slaves or something? I love this series! Keep them coming! Thank you!
Why would god be against slavery, look at all the gold and fine linen the slaves had managed to save while in Egypt. Who would have guessed that slaves could have so much bling.
I'm beginning to think this "free will" idea was just created as an excuse. I don't see a single place where the bible says that free will is intentional or good.
That's what you're gonna think when you don't consider how long and how much difficulties the Israelites had suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. It's God's righteous judgment for the Egyptians' treatment of His people. You're just short-sighted and lacks understanding of Justice, my friend.
@@adastra5107 You lack an understanding of modern knowledge. They were NEVER slaves in Egypt. Moses never existed. No evidence in history, archeology, language, or anything to ever suggest that over 500,000 people ever wandered the desert for 40 years for a 2 week walk. The exodus NEVER happened! If, in the story, God hardened the pharaoh's heart to make him, against his free will, deny the slaves their freedom, then how is it "justice" to punish them? Especially if he sent the Israeli into slavery in the first place. Makes no sense. This God of the Bible is defined as super-omni. So why does he make so many regretful choices? You are the shortsighted one, my friend. You have to look beyond the Bible for the truth. It's just a collection of stories told to keep their tribe in line. They had thousands of years of edits. Additions and deletions have been going on from the conception until the present time. You couldn't even know which copy to follow to have his inspired word. How could you decide? What makes this "holy book" any different than any other? Made up by man to explain his world view. Geography of the people usually dictated the religious beliefs that they followed. You seem to see only through a Christian's eyes. Do you have an understanding of the other world faiths? You can't ALL be right, but you ALL can be wrong. Which is more likely? Stay safe & well!
These are all the instructions Noah got to build a bloody great impossible ship to carry all of the worlds animals. ‘So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks’. That's it. You have to give credit to Noah, who had no previous ship building experience, for getting such a big complicated impossible job done with very very very vague building instructions from God. Just compare these instructions to the incredible detailed painful complicated pages and pages of instructions Moses received to build the Ark of the Covenant and how to display it.
What got left out is when Noah built and activated the dimensional transcendentalism generator, making the Ark not only infinitely bigger on the inside than the outside but also giving it a nearly inexhaustible supply of food, fresh water and power for heating, cooling, bilge pumping, navigation and maybe internet. You know, like the TARDIS.
@@harveywabbit9541 Well the Egyptians definitely had a tradition of boats and being 'saved from water' plus travelling to another world in one. But that could even stretch to ancient astronauts, with a little massaging of details. Or Atlantis, etc, etc.
The twist ending is that this never really happened. It is all a myth that is being revealed in our Matrix timeline by historians. We are about to find out that the Hebrews wrote metaphorical scripts from folklore as they transitioned to monotheism. This perversion of reality by religion is playing out even as we live and breath today. Live well and prosper.
@@alguno1010101 I think the best sermon I ever heard was the one about how if a man sits on the toilet to pee they must be transgendered. All because a few times God told people to kill "all that pisseth against the wall" (aka the men).
So God wanted somewhere to hide during the day and left this place during the night. Sounds like God was a vampire which would explain his lust for blood.
"Fortunately" quite a few "gems" are contradicted by other "gems". This makes it possible to find "good gems" to support whatever you want to do anyway.
After seeing how God treats the Jews, the Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites and other ancient peoples must have fallen to their knees thanking that they were not "God's chosen people."
@@harveywabbit9541Hi Harvey, Judas Maccabeus, he was real and definatly nothing to do with astrology. Herod, pretty sure he was real too and owd Pontious a real character with third party documented proof of his existance, definatly real so perhaps you would like to reconsider the "no humans in the bible" comment.
Beware of Leviticus. If you hated having to read genealogies or how the tabernacle is built, then you would most likely to hate Leviticus. It gets fucked up towards the end. It starts off boring (nothing happens other than get a “clean” animal to kill and throw in the alter for different types of offerings) then the horror gets bloody and messy. If you decide to read that horror show Hemant, then I wish you the best of luck. Oh and get ready for some anti-gay verses.
We should put a vote to skip ahead to Numbers. He'll probably have to go through Deuteronomy because Moses gets his goodbye soliloquy. Then Joshua for some good old Perfect Moral Guidance and Love genocide.
Sorry for late reply, but I agree. Hemant is going to get a load on Joshua when he gets there. It’s not the Promised Land of Milk and Honey the media portrays that book to be. All blood, violence and conquest.
@@NotSomeone68 Ah, Joshua, the Colonization Manual. The natives practiced human and even child sacrifice, so we're justified in killing all of them, including the children... in all honesty, how is practicing human sacrifice different from starting a holy war? in both cases you're killing people to please your god
@@alguno1010101 The real reason they initiated these attacks was to get rid of any potential competition. Also 'god" instructed moses and his desert tribe to attack these communities, kill every human and animal with sickle swords....spare only virgin girls who they then kidnapped, loot valuables such as silver and gold, and then burn the villages to the ground. There were plenty of ulterior motives for this mass genocide committed by Yahweh, moses and israeli desert tribe.
This is only the begining. Wait until Leviticus. spoiler alert it's dub to most Christians "Laws and Commandments" book. Basically In anime term. We are about to enter "Filler no jutsu" territory.😝😝😝 Wouldn't mind if Hemmat skip this book or split it to fewer episodes.
@@josephdanieljirehdimacali4418 literally anything will be better than IKEA instructions. Leviticus will have to try very hard in order to be worse than Exodus.
I am shocked but pleased you sound like you plan to tackle Leviticus. My old pastor used to just say reading it was like cutting concrete with a butter knife. It is great though if you wanna know how to tear birds in half with your bare hands. Lol Thank you for this series! ❤️❤️❤️
@@wizolufa1452 Leviticus 13: 45-46 did give some good advice about how to not spread leprosy; cover the lower half of ones face, warn others that one is sick, and stay outside of camp. Wear a mask and social distance, in other words. Hmmm... bird blood cure? Is that where VooDoo came up with all those chicken torture ideas?
When I was a senior in Catholic high school (1966), my religion teacher, a priest, told me that the Jews were given such detailed ritual instructions because, on the whole, they were unintelligent people who couldn't figure things out for themselves.
No wonder no Christians read the Bible... and the few who do have been so brain deadened by it that they just uncritically read it, half-awake. At this point I almost pity believers. Imagine how embarrassing it is to have this excruciating document as the book written by your all-knowing god. Thank you, Hemant, for making fun the world's most insane and boring book.
It’s tempting to pity them but they don’t deserve it in the least and would be furious if they found out anyway. Like any believer, it’s best to hold them accountable to secular laws and standards without pity.
Thank you for producing these up-loads for us all. I thought your entertaining and informative presentation of what is a mind-numbing book was very well done.
"If a priest's daughter defiles herself by promiscuity,she defiles her father.She must be burned to death."(Leviticus 21:9)Just a glimpse/preview of the "gems" put in Leviticus by the "God of lovingkindness and mercy."
@@shriggs55 ....And Christians villainize Islamic practices that promote that, but then if they find it in their own bible....they will find SOME way to defend it.
Did you notice God commanded Moses to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance, wash them, dress them and anoint them rather than just have Moses tell them to do so? Almost like Aaron & sons weren't so crazy about the idea and had to be dragged in kicking and screaming?
When I think of the glory of the lord, I think of god's back side. So when the glory of the lord settles on the tabernacle I get an image of him sitting on it like a toilet to shit all over everything.
It wasn't hard for the ancient,primitive,and ignorant people in the days of Moses-to wrap their heads around the idea that the God of the universe would appear in a form like unto a man to Moses-but than that he would show Moses his backside??? The God that is beyond space and time has a backside? Of course,they didn't know what a "universe"was or space/time.Which gives more credence to the idea that they made "god"in their own image-not the other way around.
When I was 12 I was taught that the tabernacle was a literal representation of heaven. The bronze altar represents Hell, the bronze basin the river of glass, etc, etc...
Ah yes, more diys, I'm dying to hear about the fine linen and gold that god commands Moses to have his people to make, if only it could go on a bit longer, I'd prolly pull my hair out
I totally agree! This stuff is so damn boring! Who gives a shit about what kind of linen to use or what type of jewels you need? I can't get over the fact that this is supposedly a "holy book". But it is more of an IKEA instructional manual. And yet, people revere this book! It's mind-boggling.
@@harveywabbit9541 I love it ( even the porn part🤣). Just like Hemant’s critiques and quips help to minimize the mundane, depraved, and very disturbing aspects of these OT narratives. Your ancient astrological and mythological connections are so interesting entertaining and and soothing. Truthfully, I never even knew any of these myths that you talk about, until I came to this channel, and read all of the pleasant ancient myth analogies that you associate with the corrupt biblical myths here. Thank you Harvey! 🤗
@@---------------------zzx111 he didn't ask me to do anything, plus I never heard of any payments that these people were receiving, just giving to this tabernacle, your argument is a flaw one
This chapter shows that the Israelites were just worshiping an active volcano. A permanent cloud with fire in it at night? Obviously they're describing a column of steam venting from a volcano that's dimly lit by lava in the crater. Plus earlier Moses had to go up a mountain to "talk to God".
I wouldn't say "obviously", but that is actually a really good interpretation. Could very well be true, especially considering that everything in the bible was stolen from previous religions.
@@freedapeeple4049 I think it shows that there are multiple real world explanations. Personally I think a lot of Moses encounter with god could be chalked up to the lack of oxygen at high altitude, creating an old man to see things that weren't there...
@@lucywillis4535 Moses was just the "man behind the curtain."He and the people were desperate to create a god in their own image,in order to compete with the nations and tribes around them.It was a "my god is bigger than your god" kind've thing.
Yep. Wholly Fables: filler, nonsense plus smoke and mirrors. At least we didn't go to some building hand have some p-ass-tor blow the smoke up our butts.
The very first game of, "Red Light, Green Light," ever played. Next up, "God Says." But since God likes Simon Pegg's movies so much, he renames it Simon Says.
I listened to the exodus 40 video again. So appreciative for what you are doing in reading these chapters to us. It is important for those of us that grew up with this Bible indoctrination, and are now atheists, to be reminded of the extent of depravity and atrocities committed by this particular “loving god” character...It still is shocking, and it underscores the fraud and complete contradictions that this Bible and religion promotes. Also people who are still undecided and in the process of evaluating what their belief system has the potential of becoming or not. They especially need to hear this as well. Not very many of us are likely to open our Bible and read the OT...... (and besides I tossed mine out some time back). So I look forward to many chapters ahead. Thank you Hemant🙏
@Robert Hunt fun fact: Christianity is a very influential religion and it's doctrine is based on the bible, and there are people who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians, so by pointing out what is wrong with the bible you can counter those who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians.
People like yourself Robert, live in fantasy, and prefer it that way. So you would not have the intelligence or integrity to understand a thirst for truth and uncovering of the lies people like yourself continue to propagate.
@Robert Hunt Well honey pie, you are um........confusing. You are opting to turn a blind eye toward a big piece of the puzzle. If anything, bringing to light and critiquing these passages, should in fact bring some understanding to religious and non religious alike as to why nontheists reject the Bible and the abrahamic religions. The ones you mention, that theoretically become enemies based on someone exposing and analyzing their depraved scriptures and god character, were already enemies.... and issuing eternal hell condemnations. I was indoctrinated as a child. Later, being exposed to the REALITIES of religious doctrine, made me much more understanding and tolerant of those portions of the globe that reject the abrahamic religions... and ultimately I rejected them myself. Prior to that, I judged the non religious as I was taught to.
.... and people like you Robert, are aiding and abetting the continued propagation to future generations of this ignorant nefarious indoctrination, by means of desiring passive silence and acceptance of the unacceptable. Small changes over time will ultimately benefit society, families, women, children, animals, the earth, the environment, and the promotion of education, science, truth, and REALITY across the globe. Research societies where abrahamic religions no longer dominate. They are more healthy, intelligent and superior on many levels.
'Ah.. finally, the tabernacle's finished... now we can relax...' "Nope ... more instructions from the Big G...' Murmur murmur, "And I did not know my mother that way!'
Whenever my religious coworkers talk about how much they love the Bible, I'm going to tell them I read exodus 36-40 every night because it's so inspiring
@@laurajarrell6187 ...and boy is it needed, in the context of listening to many of these completely unimaginative bible horror stories.😢😩 But it is so important that Hemant is making these word for word Bible reading videos. People need to hear this stuff!! And they are more likely to watch these great videos, than they are to open a bible and start reading the OT.
So wait... are you saying I should just install my own granite counter top? And the linoleum? What about the sink and and the fridge and the range? After Jehovah spent all that time going into elaborate detail about setting up a Holy tent, you would think He could give me at least a minute or to two of His time to help me color coordinate my dream kitchen! He has the time! It's not like He's out curing childhood cancer or something! I need help!
IKEA tabernacle? And what is the real meaning of "glory"? It sounds techy so Tsoukalis and Co might be right. Was this item they called god some kind of machine? Even a primitive steam engine would be mysterious to these people. And the Ark is a massive electrical capacitor. Rub it with fur and cloths and watch the sparks fly.
The Bible's authors were just like so many kids - faced with a boring pirce of homework, that has to be X pages long. They just padded it out with THE MOST inane, pointless waffle, that adds nothing to the end result!!
Stored these last few videos on my insomnia cure list. Now I don't have to fall asleep with a big bible on my chest, reading this coma-inducing b.s., cuz I got you to read it to me... 😴Zzzzzzz........
I think the people cracked by the Book of Judges. Didn't they worship other gods & get sent to slavery to other tribes as punishment. Was it really punishment?
Now we move onto Leviticus, which will be even more worthless as a book of morals and guidance than Exodus was. Considering how worthless Exodus itself was in this regard, that's quite the feat.
@@---------------------zzx111 Oh I know all about Jesus, but that doesn't change the fact that neither he, or Odin, or Raiden from Mortal Kombat, or any other god has ever made any attempt to communicate with me. Given the total lack of evidence for the existence of a god, I take this to mean that they are made up.
To be fair, the only reason the 5 books were divided as they were, was because the parchment had reached its size limits. It wasn't intended to be separate books.
Oh, that is' not correct at all. Especialyl regarding Genesis and Exodus. Geneis and Exodus are dramatically different, in concept, tone and how they are written. It's obvous that Genesis and Exodus were written by different people. So they obvously weren't meant to be together. We'll see what happens when we get to Leviitcus
So say they built this thing and got done halfway through January; it just sits for the rest of the year doing nothing? So Aaron gets rewarded for building the competition idol but dude that tries to look out for gods trinket gets struck dead?
Everyone would have been better off, if the Israelites had remained in Egypt. Mass genocides of many villages of families would have been circumvented....unless of course Yahweh and Moses had then found another tribe of bandits to do their bidding.
They weren’t very good at writing stories were they? The most epic myth of the bible ends in pages of instructions on how to make a tent. Where’s the plot twist, the big whodunnit reveal? Someone tell them their stories need a beginning where they set the scene, a middle with the main plot and a climatic ending.
I enjoy Hemant’s consistent hang up involving the slaughter of a baby goat in their mother’s milk. Let’s just not slaughter animals at all … I’m all for that commandment!
Warning: I have a lot of questions here. Exodus 40:1-5 Why the first day of the first month? What is so special about that specific date? Why does “God” need to protect the ark with curtains? Isn’t he omnipotent and omnipresent? If so, he would’ve had no problem guarding that newly built tabernacle himself. Heck, he had his men he made out of dirt in Genesis 1; why not create them to protect that if it were that important? What does a gold altar do? For what purpose? (1:04) Psst.. According to the Bible, Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. So of course Yahweh/Jehovah isn’t going to say “thank you” or “great job” to his clay goons. He wants and demands that we should be thanking Him, not the other way around. Exodus 40:6-11 Any scientific evidence of how anointing the tabernacle with anointing oil would make it holy? How would the workers know what that looks like? Does it have a divine bling? Is it shiny? What about distance? How would the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant look like up close or far away? Exodus 40:12-16 “Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him.” Is this going to be a consistent theme from here to Deuteronomy? If so, why not just say that and skip all the boring parts? We will likely be learning more about the priesthood in Leviticus. First, it has to cover instructions on- Exodus 40:17-19 Wake me up when this is over.. zzz.. (6:08-11) I would rather die than to worship a boring psychopath. “God” is always pissed about something. Why would anyone want to hang out with a deity that’s so negative? Exodus 40:34-38 Is the cloud meant to visualize how “God” feels or what he wants? Or is it an exclusive to the ark of the covenant out in Mount Sinai in the Middle East?What is the cloud supposed to be? Does it make people consciously aware of “God’s” presence? The Bible never brings that up again. Not even when the Ark of the Covenant gets mentioned again. If those little details don’t get brought up again or serves no purpose to guide Christians/Jews to live their lives to the fullest, then the Bible cannot be inspired by God. The Cloud that hovers around the covenant is a good example of a pointless detail that got brought up once. Another piece of the on-going collection of inconsistencies.
Wow! Such poignant and insightful rhetorical questions and deductive reasoning that you have posed Vegas Emerald!! If I need a lawyer...I will contact you😊
I don't know if it's already in the comments somewhere, but to my understanding the second set of tablets is in fact meant to be the same as the first . Exodus 20 never calls those the "Ten Commandments". Exodus 34 is the only place where a specific set of text is referred to as the "Ten Commandments". Deuteronomy also mentioned the Ten Commandments and appears to be describing the events that take place in Exodus 20, so the two books are in contradiction to each other and a lot of scholars believe these two different Decalogues to have two different origins that were never reconciled when both were put in the Hebrew Bible.
@@PraiseTheFSMonster I know Jesus! I can’t wait for Hemant’s reading of Leviticus! I look forward to his next shows more than any other program. Hemant should start a ‘mega-church’ and be aired around the world. He has a special ability to expose all the crazy ramblings in the Bible.
Ok, so this god gives instructions to build a tabernacle to people that supposedly came out of Egypt, tell exactly how to build it and fails to design a structure that can last for centuries. But the Egyptian that supposedly had the wrong god built structures that still stands up today. This god need to go and study some engineering🤣
Can't help but wonder what the other one plus or minus million people that left Egypt with Moses are doing during all this time. Moses is getting kinda old and you'd think God would order some of those folks to pitch in, you know that ole "idle hands are the devils workshop" bit. Setting them up for a "fall" maybe?

Ok I’ll understand god exists if all these tabernacle with those precious things that his servants prepared for days and days is still preserved in a perfect state nowadays, somehow it’s not! Why not? Wasn’t these so precious to god that he asked for it! Wasn’t it possible for him to preserve these as the way it is described for us to see it nowadays? It should’ve been a good evidence and good spot for touring.

@@EightThreeEight Now that the temple etc al is done there are rules for when you can pee, when you can blow your nose, when it's ok to abort, to sell your daughter (not son) into slavery.
I still like The Bible Game. To play, you open a bible to a random page, do everything that is done by or commanded by god on that page. The last person to go to prison wins.

What does that mean?
I find this series so interesting. Even, perhaps especially, the deadly dull parts where god goes into excruciating detail about what he wants. It compares so well with how he will spend a single sentence justifying genocide. Really gives you a sense of god's priorities.
Know 'Sci Man Dan' and his debunks of flat-earth?

Getting ready for Leviticus, I've never read it so I'm gonna make some bets going into it:
- Yahweh forbids rape, incest, and child abuse
- Yahweh explicitly forbids slavery
- Yahweh clearly defines morality
- Yahweh sets his precedent for abortion in a way that cannot be misinterpreted, and perfectly aligns with the beliefs of all Jews, Christians, and Muslims everywhere
- Yahweh provides a third alternative so that abortion is not necessary, so that a woman isn't forced to birth a child but the child can be born another way, and will be cared for throughout its life
- Yahweh explains why the world has so many thousands of different religions and competing gods, many of them for thousands of years before these events, and resolves the matter to everyone's satisfaction
- Yahweh apologizes for his abhorrent, genocidal, narcissistic, megalomaniac behavior up until now and vows to make it up to his chosen people
- Yahweh stops having a chosen people, cuz he knows and acknowledges that it's wrong
- Yahweh stops committing horrific atrocities
- Yahweh clears up all misconceptions, contradictions, and scientific inaccuracies up until now in his big book
- Yahweh works tirelessly to lead by positive example and inspires people to resolve their differences with words, through peace and compromise, in an effort to be kind and considerate to one another because reciprocal altruism leads to greater collective safety and prosperity
- Yahweh provides mental health counseling for the trauma he has put these people through, to prevent genetic inheritance of stress and anxiety for eons to come
- Yahweh puts an end to control through worship and obedience under threats, to prevent millenia of forced adherence to dogma out of fear
- Yahweh goes back in time to undo his mistakes before they ever happened, instead of setting up scenarios he knew would fail and punishing people for his own blunders
- Yahweh provides a means so that future generations, millenia later, will have reliable evidence of his existence and instructions, and won't simply have to depend on the fractured, contradictory, nonsensical mythological fables and hand-copied propaganda from superstitious broze-age nomads and their manipulative ruling priest class
- Yahweh explains all the secrets and mysteries of life, death, and the universe, answers all of everyone's deep questions, and explains why he built people to have such troubling questions in the first place
- The author of this work identifies themselves, lists their qualifications, indicates the date and location of authorship, provides dates for all claimed events, cites all sources, and candidly discusses the reliability of said sources to help the reader reach an unbiased conclusion as to the reliability of the information
Anyone else have any guesses?
Nope. I think you covered it all
- Yahweh explains bacteria and the need for boiling water before drinking it, saving his people from thousands of years of suffering.
Which book are you reading? I haven't seen it.
If I hear the words tabernacle or burnt offerings ever again I might turn to violence.
Great work. Thank you for your immense effort. I'm exhausted.
I wonder what is the point of all this! The people who should be opening their eyes about the true nature of this book are not here. The Bible is a handbook on tribalism and injustice. It even includes examples of lying to get benefits. Not to mention animal cruelty. The book should be considered inappropriate for children!
Hey, where will daughters learn to inebriate their father to rape him if they can't read the bible?

Read the whole bible from cover to cover and it will put you off Christianity for good and all. The honest truth is that the bible is a contradictory, muddled mess. I've read it all many times, including the New Testament in its original Greek, and I can safely say that there are many other works that are far more helpful and better guides to morality than the bible is anywhere near being. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more likely, to lead high moral standard lives than are religious people and history teaches us that Christianity is a main cause of wars. Adolf Hitler was a religious man, who believed God was on his side along with that of all the German people. He was brought up in a devout Austrian Roman Catholic family and was proud of his Austrian ancestry. German is the native language of Austria.
So many detailed instructions. Wasn't God worried about their free will?
Why couldn't he have spent a few sentences on the evils of owning slaves or something?
I love this series!

Thank you!
Why would god be against slavery, look at all the gold and fine linen the slaves had managed to save while in Egypt. Who would have guessed that slaves could have so much bling.
@@davebrown6552
God told them to rob Egypt.
500 thousand theives could strip an area.
I'm beginning to think this "free will" idea was just created as an excuse. I don't see a single place where the bible says that free will is intentional or good.
That's what you're gonna think when you don't consider how long and how much difficulties the Israelites had suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. It's God's righteous judgment for the Egyptians' treatment of His people. You're just short-sighted and lacks understanding of Justice, my friend.
@@adastra5107
You lack an understanding of modern knowledge.
They were NEVER slaves in Egypt.
Moses never existed.
No evidence in history, archeology, language, or anything to ever suggest that over 500,000 people ever wandered the desert for 40 years for a 2 week walk.
The exodus NEVER happened!
If, in the story, God hardened the pharaoh's heart to make him, against his free will, deny the slaves their freedom, then how is it "justice" to punish them? Especially if he sent the Israeli into slavery in the first place.
Makes no sense.
This God of the Bible is defined as super-omni. So why does he make so many regretful choices?
You are the shortsighted one, my friend. You have to look beyond the Bible for the truth. It's just a collection of stories told to keep their tribe in line. They had thousands of years of edits. Additions and deletions have been going on from the conception until the present time. You couldn't even know which copy to follow to have his inspired word.
How could you decide?
What makes this "holy book" any different than any other?
Made up by man to explain his world view. Geography of the people usually dictated the religious beliefs that they followed.
You seem to see only through a Christian's eyes.
Do you have an understanding of the other world faiths?
You can't ALL be right, but you ALL can be wrong. Which is more likely?
Stay safe & well!
These are all the instructions Noah got to build a bloody great impossible ship to carry all of the worlds animals. ‘So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks’. That's it.
You have to give credit to Noah, who had no previous ship building experience, for getting such a big complicated impossible job done with very very very vague building instructions from God. Just compare these instructions to the incredible detailed painful complicated pages and pages of instructions Moses received to build the Ark of the Covenant and how to display it.
What got left out is when Noah built and activated the dimensional transcendentalism generator, making the Ark not only infinitely bigger on the inside than the outside but also giving it a nearly inexhaustible supply of food, fresh water and power for heating, cooling, bilge pumping, navigation and maybe internet. You know, like the TARDIS.

@@alguno1010101 I think the best sermon I ever heard was the one about how if a man sits on the toilet to pee they must be transgendered. All because a few times God told people to kill "all that pisseth against the wall" (aka the men).
So God wanted somewhere to hide during the day and left this place during the night. Sounds like God was a vampire which would explain his lust for blood.

Beware of Leviticus. If you hated having to read genealogies or how the tabernacle is built, then you would most likely to hate Leviticus. It gets fucked up towards the end. It starts off boring (nothing happens other than get a “clean” animal to kill and throw in the alter for different types of offerings) then the horror gets bloody and messy.
If you decide to read that horror show Hemant, then I wish you the best of luck. Oh and get ready for some anti-gay verses.
We should put a vote to skip ahead to Numbers. He'll probably have to go through Deuteronomy because Moses gets his goodbye soliloquy. Then Joshua for some good old Perfect Moral Guidance and Love genocide.
Sorry for late reply, but I agree. Hemant is going to get a load on Joshua when he gets there. It’s not the Promised Land of Milk and Honey the media portrays that book to be. All blood, violence and conquest.
I'm actually very interested to hear the Joshua bits, because I want to see where it overlaps with the NT version of Joshua/Yeshua/Jesus.
@@NotSomeone68 Ah, Joshua, the Colonization Manual. The natives practiced human and even child sacrifice, so we're justified in killing all of them, including the children... in all honesty, how is practicing human sacrifice different from starting a holy war? in both cases you're killing people to please your god
@@alguno1010101 The real reason they initiated these attacks was to get rid of any potential competition. Also 'god" instructed moses and his desert tribe to attack these communities, kill every human and animal with sickle swords....spare only virgin girls who they then kidnapped, loot valuables such as silver and gold, and then burn the villages to the ground. There were plenty of ulterior motives for this mass genocide committed by Yahweh, moses and israeli desert tribe.
This is the worst book I have ever read. It starts with a fine plot, but it quickly turns into rules and IKEA that a lot of people will find boring.

No wonder no Christians read the Bible... and the few who do have been so brain deadened by it that they just uncritically read it, half-awake. At this point I almost pity believers. Imagine how embarrassing it is to have this excruciating document as the book written by your all-knowing god.
Thank you, Hemant, for making fun the world's most insane and boring book.
It’s tempting to pity them but they don’t deserve it in the least and would be furious if they found out anyway. Like any believer, it’s best to hold them accountable to secular laws and standards without pity.

When I think of the glory of the lord, I think of god's back side. So when the glory of the lord settles on the tabernacle I get an image of him sitting on it like a toilet to shit all over everything.
Maybe the tabernacle had a hole in it, to let God's business pass right through.
Praise the glory whole of god. For you may feel his presence and speak in tongue.
It wasn't hard for the ancient,primitive,and ignorant people in the days of Moses-to wrap their heads around the idea that the God of the universe would appear in a form like unto a man to Moses-but than that he would show Moses his backside???

Cool to see Exodus come to an end. I wonder why they didn't cover any of the final chapters in that one Dreamworks movie...
This chapter shows that the Israelites were just worshiping an active volcano. A permanent cloud with fire in it at night? Obviously they're describing a column of steam venting from a volcano that's dimly lit by lava in the crater.
Plus earlier Moses had to go up a mountain to "talk to God".
They are lighting a fire near the tabernacle. One which, I assume, is producing smoke....
I wouldn't say "obviously", but that is actually a really good interpretation. Could very well be true, especially considering that everything in the bible was stolen from previous religions.
@@freedapeeple4049 I think it shows that there are multiple real world explanations.

It is important for those of us that grew up with this Bible indoctrination, and are now atheists, to be reminded of the extent of depravity and atrocities committed by this particular “loving god” character...It still is shocking, and it underscores the fraud and complete contradictions that this Bible and religion promotes.
Also people who are still undecided and in the process of evaluating what their belief system has the potential of becoming or not. They especially need to hear this as well.

@Robert Hunt being an atheist doesn't mean you have no interest in the bible (or mythologies of other religions)
@Robert Hunt fun fact: Christianity is a very influential religion and it's doctrine is based on the bible, and there are people who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians, so by pointing out what is wrong with the bible you can counter those who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians.
People like yourself Robert, live in fantasy, and prefer it that way. So you would not have the intelligence or integrity to understand a thirst for truth and uncovering of the lies people like yourself continue to propagate.
@Robert Hunt Well honey pie, you are um........confusing. You are opting to turn a blind eye toward a big piece of the puzzle. If anything, bringing to light and critiquing these passages, should in fact bring some understanding to religious and non religious alike as to why nontheists reject the Bible and the abrahamic religions. The ones you mention, that theoretically become enemies based on someone exposing and analyzing their depraved scriptures and god character, were already enemies.... and issuing eternal hell condemnations. I was indoctrinated as a child. Later, being exposed to the REALITIES of religious doctrine, made me much more understanding and tolerant of those portions of the globe that reject the abrahamic religions... and ultimately I rejected them myself. Prior to that, I judged the non religious as I was taught to.
.... and people like you Robert, are aiding and abetting the continued propagation to future generations of this ignorant nefarious indoctrination, by means of desiring passive silence and acceptance of the unacceptable. Small changes over time will ultimately benefit society, families, women, children, animals, the earth, the environment, and the promotion of education, science, truth, and REALITY across the globe. Research societies where abrahamic religions no longer dominate. They are more healthy, intelligent and superior on many levels.

They weren’t very good at writing stories were they? The most epic myth of the bible ends in pages of instructions on how to make a tent.
Where’s the plot twist, the big whodunnit reveal? Someone tell them their stories need a beginning where they set the scene, a middle with the main plot and a climatic ending.
They did pretty good for a bunch of really drunk bronze age conmen with severe brain damage, I thought.
Ahh this is the part of the story where it sounds like they're following an alien ship or something
I enjoy Hemant’s consistent hang up involving the slaughter of a baby goat in their mother’s milk. Let’s just not slaughter animals at all … I’m all for that commandment!
All of this was happening in the desert? Why didn’t God and Moses wait to do all this in the promised land?
Warning: I have a lot of questions here.
Exodus 40:1-5
Why the first day of the first month? What is so special about that specific date? Why does “God” need to protect the ark with curtains? Isn’t he omnipotent and omnipresent? If so, he would’ve had no problem guarding that newly built tabernacle himself. Heck, he had his men he made out of dirt in Genesis 1; why not create them to protect that if it were that important? What does a gold altar do? For what purpose?
(1:04) Psst.. According to the Bible, Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. So of course Yahweh/Jehovah isn’t going to say “thank you” or “great job” to his clay goons. He wants and demands that we should be thanking Him, not the other way around.
Exodus 40:6-11
Any scientific evidence of how anointing the tabernacle with anointing oil would make it holy? How would the workers know what that looks like? Does it have a divine bling? Is it shiny? What about distance? How would the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant look like up close or far away?
Exodus 40:12-16
“Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him.” Is this going to be a consistent theme from here to Deuteronomy? If so, why not just say that and skip all the boring parts? We will likely be learning more about the priesthood in Leviticus. First, it has to cover instructions on-
Exodus 40:17-19
Wake me up when this is over.. zzz..
(6:08-11) I would rather die than to worship a boring psychopath. “God” is always pissed about something. Why would anyone want to hang out with a deity that’s so negative?
Exodus 40:34-38
Is the cloud meant to visualize how “God” feels or what he wants? Or is it an exclusive to the ark of the covenant out in Mount Sinai in the Middle East?What is the cloud supposed to be? Does it make people consciously aware of “God’s” presence? The Bible never brings that up again. Not even when the Ark of the Covenant gets mentioned again.
If those little details don’t get brought up again or serves no purpose to guide Christians/Jews to live their lives to the fullest, then the Bible cannot be inspired by God. The Cloud that hovers around the covenant is a good example of a pointless detail that got brought up once. Another piece of the on-going collection of inconsistencies.
"Any scientific evidence of how anointing the tabernacle with anointing oil would make it holy?"
What the heck to does "holy" even mean?
Even trying to make sense of all this is impossible. Aron is right when he called all this a folklore.
Oil is the contact point between Godly and the fleshly. If you ever had a massage, heated oils feel good to the flesh.
Gold and purple yarn were exclusively for Kings. God is the King of Kings.
Wow! Such poignant and insightful rhetorical questions and deductive reasoning that you have posed Vegas Emerald!! If I need a lawyer...I will contact you😊
I don't know if it's already in the comments somewhere, but to my understanding the second set of tablets is in fact meant to be the same as the first . Exodus 20 never calls those the "Ten Commandments". Exodus 34 is the only place where a specific set of text is referred to as the "Ten Commandments".
Deuteronomy also mentioned the Ten Commandments and appears to be describing the events that take place in Exodus 20, so the two books are in contradiction to each other and a lot of scholars believe these two different Decalogues to have two different origins that were never reconciled when both were put in the Hebrew Bible.
At least we will have alot of stuff to mock🤣🤣🤣🤣 no joke i have real close people who take this shit serious 🤫
The power of brainwashing 😬
BRING ON LEVITICUS!

Can’t wait!!!
That's something you don't hear very often
@@PraiseTheFSMonster I know Jesus! I can’t wait for Hemant’s reading of Leviticus! I look forward to his next shows more than any other program. Hemant should start a ‘mega-church’ and be aired around the world. He has a special ability to expose all the crazy ramblings in the Bible.
You are doing such a heroic work. This is the only way I want to read the Bible. Keep up the amazing job.
Anointy-noint anoint anointnointnoint.....
Drinking game for Exodus 40: take a shot every time "as the Lord commanded" is said. You'll be wasted by the end.
Just wasted, and not suffering from liver damage?
Ok, so this god gives instructions to build a tabernacle to people that supposedly came out of Egypt, tell exactly how to build it and fails to design a structure that can last for centuries. But the Egyptian that supposedly had the wrong god built structures that still stands up today. This god need to go and study some engineering🤣
Wait, you mean all this stuff wasn't set up already?
Check out *"The Origins of Yahweh"* by Atheologica.
The fictional Abrahamic god of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Insane BS. The weird part is that some think it's real. Better off with bad drugs.
The bad drugs even do far less brain damage and less addictive besides! (Yes, I know many drugs are extremely addictive)
Can't help but wonder what the other one plus or minus million people that left Egypt with Moses are doing during all this time. Moses is getting kinda old and you'd think God would order some of those folks to pitch in, you know that ole "idle hands are the devils workshop" bit. Setting them up for a "fall" maybe?
@@harveywabbit9541 It doesn't surprise me discovering how interconnected the ancient myths are, the surprise is in this age of information how all that information can be ignored & rejected in a false hope for an afterlife shang-ri-la. Thanks for sharing.
Ok I’ll understand god exists if all these tabernacle with those precious things that his servants prepared for days and days is still preserved in a perfect state nowadays, somehow it’s not! Why not? Wasn’t these so precious to god that he asked for it! Wasn’t it possible for him to preserve these as the way it is described for us to see it nowadays? It should’ve been a good evidence and good spot for touring.
This is so boring 🤦🏻♂️😴
Edit: I mean the text not the Friendly Atheist.
"Wr are at the end " me: PARTEYYYYYYYYYY "anf chapter 3 got even more rules " me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I mean... Who in their right mind would read this stuff??? I Kind of remember something with Kanaan did come after Moses in my children's bible... But the big question I have: when do we get to the spicy parts? For example David sending a man to his death so he can marry his widow? I mean... That's a story that kinda burned itself in my brain cause... DA HECK DUDE???
I had to read a bowdlerized version of the Bible in Catholic school. Most of those "juicy" bits had been excised. For example, the part where Lot had sex with his daughters was missing. The chapters sanctioning the slave trade were also missing.
I'm rewatching the whole series in expectation. Hope it's not a geneologi jaja (I speak spanish, when I said jaja, think I said haha. As a proof I talk spanish, ñññ.)
I finished the whole series.
Give me LEVITICUS

¡Buenos muy buenos, señor!
Most boring collection of books ever. I am surprised that no one fell asleep reading it or listening to it be read to them😂
They did in the old days. I saw this depicted some decades ago when i lived in Denmark, so my details might be a little sparse. Sorry about that.
A long, long time ago in Scandinavia they'd have a guy walking in the aisle of the church during the sermon with a long stick. If you feel asleep they'd poke you awake.
@@starshinedragonsong3045 I'm Swedish, and I can confirm that is true. In some churches they still have them (just as an ornament, or historical piece, it´s not longer in use). The Swedish name for it is "kyrkstöt" ("church poker" or something like that).
No need to be surprised , people have fallen asleep to this crap for centuries and continue to do so!
Give them a gold star. That was poor taste. Keep up the good work.
god really likes BBQ
The final Exodus 👍
Putteth thou on a raiment of maroon and grey and setteth thy glasses upon thy nose. Taketh a black chair of the office and place it before thy desk thou hast already prepared that thou might speak to thy brethren on RUclips. Placeth a microphone uponeth thy desk that thou mighteth speaketh to thy followers and say unto them words, as thou hast been commandeth to say words by thy laird. Circumlocution doeth thou good.
