Brought up as a Christian (Catholic) but not having faith, only confusion, I now at 63 feel a hunger to understand the Bible on a deeper level. I greatly appreciate your video.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Death is creation in reverse. The body sleeps while the soul returns to God.After will come judgment day.
Okay, I know what your mean. But the whole story is full of metaphors. Also the historians needed to communicate time. 9 Hours is shorter than a month of Sundays. (12/6/20)
@@orchidorio I honestly don't know what you're getting at. There is nothing to lead anyone to know how long anything goes on in Eden. It's like reading the myth of Perseus and coming out of it KNOWING that Perseus' shoe size is 10.
The Rabi said in the beginning that historians say that after 9 hours of creating Adam and Eve, God confronted them to question them about their dis obedience, who are these historians
Don't know why the rabbi said historians. Definitely not historians in the traditional sense of the word lol. We Orthodox Jews believe that Scripture was given with an Oral component, which was first set down in writing in the time of the Rabbis of the mishnah, roughly 2nd century CE. The two primary volumes are the Midrash and the Mishna/Talmud. The Midrash tends to focus predominantly on filling in the narrative of the Torah with extra facts, details, teachings, and parables. The Mishna and Talmud focus largely on Jewish laws and rituals, but also contains some exposition of scripture as well. This is the "historians" of which Rabbi Friedman speaks of.
Yes,Adam became a living soul.Lies are told and are misinterpreted.there is only one soul and the soul is not everlasting.for the soul that sin it shall die.fear the one that who can destroy both the soul and the body.soul can die.the devil says in the garden you will not die,the same lie is repeated today by saying that soul is immortal.
@@peacefulruler1 God didn’t take a soul from some other place and place it into Adam. When God breathed into Adam he passed part of his very soul into Adam. Notice God only did this with Adam and not Eve. So the the very breath that God passed through Adam was taken from Adam to create Eve and so on. I believe this is how we are all connected to God. We are all born with curious nature about a higher power. In my opinion that’s because it’s part of who we are, it’s already in us.
It amazes me how knowledge is kept from even those who appear to be Godly people? Pagan religions teach that we are 3. Body, Soul and Spirit, but the Torah teaches that we are 2, "Soul(body) and Spirit." Pagans teach that the Soul is some type of invisible thing inside our bodies that can be taken away from us by a being they call the Devil (Satan, Serpent, etc.) when we sin? "Fear him who can kill the soul and body in hell" Mt.10:28. Can your body go to hell with you when you die? No, so this statement is fictional. The term "Soul" is simply a Torah word for "body" which was corrupted to support the Trinity invention. For instance the LORD God said in Lv 5:2, "If a soul touches anything unclean...(HE) hath offended; Lv 5:3, "if a soul touches anything unclean, (HE) hath trespassed; Lv 5:4, " If a soul swear (and pronounce with its lips....) "No soul shall eat blood" Lv 17:12. Here's a perfect example that soul means body, Lv 22:11, "But if the Priest buys any soul with money....." The Priest has to feed that person! I hope this knowledge helps someone.
Behind Rabbi Friedman’s ‘story behind the story’ there’s a strenuous and serious study of the Hebrew text that would take hours to analyze and that most people would not be willing to listen to. The rabbi is presenting a story as an image of ten thousand words. Let us be grateful for his gifts and generosity.
imagine some calls a mistake a step-down....imagine someone celebrates a step-down :) , imagine God says one thing and thinks another thing.......how nice!! .....if you have such a wife then enjoy it :)
We should be 'grateful' for a man who gainsays God's Word?? WTF suggests the Creator of Heaven and Earth can't speak for Himself, but requires endless 'interpreters' and 'translators' and 'justifiers' and 'explainers'? The ONLY 'story' is that produced by God, and written, word-perfectly in the multi-language bible.
Too bad that all of that “strenuous and serious study of the Hebrew” led to such a flawed interpretation and teaching. No white beard or yamaka can cover the flaws in that teaching. One word for those who seem enticed by this arrogance and hostility to truth: “run”.
This is a lie from the pit. Completely unbiblical, untrusting, unworthy, and shameful. This is darkness pretending to be light. Lies about God's character and his plan.
This is so profound Rabbi. I knew there was more to the story, but nowhere, I found such profound explanation linking to our present state of life. Brought smiling moments at 12:20, 14:20 and 18:00. This made my day.
@victorfergn there are no extra elements. He's merely extrapolating information based on his understanding of how God operates. He was pretty clear about that from the beginning. He explained why so many people believe the story demonstrates one thing, explained that he believes the Torqh must contain more than conventional wisdom, explained why and how the common interpretation of the story seems to contradict God's infallibility, and offered an explanation of the exchange that seems less contradictory...
Adam also named all the animals (Genesis 2:19), and I’m pretty sure this was before Eve was created. The account says, in verse 20, that he noticed the animals all had mates, but that he had none. And verses 21 & 22 says how God created Eve.👍 I seriously doubt Adam could have named all the animals in a few hours😊🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🙏🏿
@@debrajessen7975 In fact it would have taken him years of 16hr days to name them all If the arc tale is to be believed there were thousands of KINDS of animals Not to mention the rather inconvienient fact that some require hot, others cold climates, wet v dry to survive
Back in the early 70s, I let my two little boys play with my calculator, I explained the buttons ,how to add and subtract numbers. I figured, that would entertain them for a little while, when I finished showing them how to use the calculator, I told them , not to push the red button, for any reason. Under no circumstances. Do not push the red button. They asked me why. I told them that I couldn’t tell them , just do not push that red button. As I was leaving the room, looking back, they were pushing the red button. Parents know. When you tell children, No. they will do the opposite, even god knows that
My Mom left the room when I was small, probably almost the age I could be in a room alone for a few minutes. She was ironing clothes and told me not to touch the iron. Well, I touched it and started to cry because it hurt my finger and I was so afraid my Dad would be upset that I didn’t listen! Well, they both comforted me and I got a bandaid. I learned in college then that children can’t understand the negative of things like “can’t” or “don’t”-instead they can better understand what to do, rather than what “not” to do, as that translates as “to do”.
They’re both grown and have children of their own. I did ask one of my older boys a few years back if they knocked over the large marble panels that I had stacked against a tree out in the woods. He told me, what happens in the woods, stays in the woods,
They must resolve it this way for everything to occur within a literal 24 hour time frame however the Torah does not give such a literal time frame as evening and morning in the sense that we know it as was not created until the 4th day! Also it makes no sense at all that the Spirit could enjoy the fruit of God's labor in 6 literal 24 hour periods! When you see everything done on the 6th day you know Hashem did not mean a literal sun set, actually if you take the text literally it would be 12 hours because the text states evening (dark where 3 stars can be seen) and morning ( the time at which you awake or your surroundings become visible from the light)
I didn't get the 1 hr thing either. Also, I notice that the serpent's role was really downplayed in this rendition. Seems a tad bit off to me, though I don't know Hebrew and the Rabbi does.
@DontDoDa1ThanG .. Bible is a copy of the Torah . And that's period. and in fact a bad copy, altered changed. Torah was first, much later came the bible. And then you also have the Quran. A copy of a copy of the torah and bible, mixed with some Arabic fantasy. There is wisdom in all of this books, but definitily not 100% thruth.
This is what happens when man "fills in the blanks" and supposes his thinking for God's thinking. God has told us what we need to know and we will learn the rest as a reward in heaven. We need to trust in God's Will and His plan.
Thank you, Rabbi! May Hashem bless you and yours always. I am not a conventional Christian. I have always sought the Truth. I am grateful that a somewhat local Rabbi put me in touch with a very wise and compassionate Jew who is willing to listen and guide me. This has shown a light on the word of Hashem that I never understood before. Your videos and teachings remind me and exemplify the compassion and love and otherworldly nature of our One True God. Shalom and blessings for all you have done and continue to do!
I disagree with that story....GOD doesn't need his creation fixed by humans, including Adam and Eve. The purpose of having the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, was more like a object Divinely design to trigger the exercise of "Free Will". The only portion of human creation incorporated in the "Self " that had not been tested. And so the story goes, Adam and Eve chose wrong.
@@kwokleongawyong1064 Are you threatening OnePlanet? Maybe you are the one who is out of order. To say he disagrees is not threatening anyone. It is a perfectly fair comment. To threaten someone is not a fair comment!
When we being told adam and eve stories its not a story telling..theres lesson behind it..if not related to us human why it even exist..adam human meaning you will also face the same thing simple as that.
"You ate from the tree I told you not to eat from?" And Adam replied "To be fair, I did not know it was Good to do as you say, and evil to disobey you, until after I ate from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And God was like "Oh, you're right! My bad. Now get off my lawn."
I like the thought experiment, but this is pure speculation with no references to support these ideas. Would like to hear you talk about how you arrived at such a unique interpretation.
The Jewish have the extra details passed down orally along with what is written. I think it is called the Talmud. What is written The Bible is a type of shorthand that only they know, and taught the extra details verbally. This is not a personal interpretation, it is the full story.
@@originalnumber I thought that the Talmud was only concerned with explicating law, not history. If it is in the Talmud, then where in the Talmud is it? That is a big book.
Gods love is UNCONDITIONAL.... so it would suffice that his judgement is quite the same. What if we are our own judges! Just go within and listen to Holy Spirit
To a Jew a sin is breaking G-d's laws, or breaking with G-d. In the Bible it says my Laws cannot be added to or changed. Since Christians seem to have a different covenant, I'm not sure what is the Christian definition of sin. Could you explain?
@@kennethtarlow a Jew will necer understand because he is unwilling and has greatly sinned against God in his talmude and by stealing the ide ting of Gods chosen people.
The day you eat of the tree you will surely die is talking about spiritually your spiritually separated from God. Through willful disobedience to God's commandments.
Exactly the breaking of his laws and commandments Adam and Eve didn't eat food they broke God's law after conversating which Satan. Scriptures in the New testament confirms this but we want to stick with the fairy tale story about people eating an apple off of a tree. All the prophets in the book we're Israelites Hebrews this guy supposed to be a descendant he should know the Bible but instead he's sitting up here he's actually blaspheming.
@@susanharder7457 you're right. God often layers His meaning - there's usually a spiritual application as well as a physical one. They experienced spiritual death right away by sinning and instantly knew they were naked and became ashamed and tried to hide. Their physical death came too, just as God said would happen, but at a later time - before reaching 1000 years like you said (= 1 day to God).
This is purely his interpretation of what the Bible says, most of what he’s talking about is what he thinks God wanted or what God’s purpose was and it’s not even in the Bible.....
Everyone's interpretation of bible stories is just a personal opinion about what God is or what he wants or what he is supposed to be, even the bible writers themselves were only offering their own impression.
B H Don’t you know that the Bible has been revised so many times by removing books and changing to various versions to where there is no way to know what the original message was?
Be careful!!! The bible tells us if anyone adds or takes away any words from this prophecy Revelation 22:18-19 NIV [18]I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. [19]And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. IF He is adding to this prophecy wow !!!
Wet the conclusion with nine hours? In nine hours did Adam name all the thousand + animals, did he begin to feel alone, did he sleep, did he know Eve so well that he would listen to her and not God? I don't know where you got those 9 hours from, but it seems totally wrong to me, and without any biblical basis. God bless you.
Also he forgets to mention the seed of the serpent and the plan of satan to corrupt it. Notice he mentions eating from the tree and not the beguiling of Eve. And yes 9 hours sounds a little to accurate for a simple man to know that. Material reasoning has no equal concept to spirituality, man trying to make reason out of what we don't understand is as effective as it is detrimental.
The arithmetic's been done repeatedly (eg google Bishop Ussher. The creation happened at 9am on Tuesday October 23, 4004 BC BC. (if memory serves.) Other authorities have arrived at approximately the same times.
Did he find a scroll by the Dead Sea that we didn’t get? So why does the snake get punished to eat dust for eternity by helping Hava? Was the naked thing some sort of Prank ;Ohh by the way I forgot to tell you after you decide to do this Nobel task that I want you for and eat the fig SURPRISE! your both naked! Lol
Biblical basis ? The Torah is the original bible from which the christian bible is copied.... the problem is the christians translated wrongly from aramaic/jewish language and thats the problem with christianity
@@riz5652 And although I know that translation can be misunderstood. That is why we have even more types of translation for in-depth study. Christianity also has many Jews who can read in the language that Rabbis read. That's why I don't think we're that far from the real meaning. God bless you.
God knew the future when he sent Adam and Eve. They made a freewill decision that was basically part of God so God knew what would take place and sent them
@@GlownDaDark, I would challenge that view and say it contradicts the nature of God. God sees the outcomes but he allows his children the choice, it is the choices made by his children that God reacts to. We obey it brings him joy and we gain favor or we disobey his law and it brings sorrow and wrath. God can perceive the outcomes of every choice we make but that doesn't mean he sees the one we will make. This is why he has had to intervene in people's lives to counter the traps laid in front of us by evil forces but if we ignore God's warning then we cannot escape the consequence of it.
Adam did not reach 1000 years and he died. Yes, God tell the truth. 2 Peter 3:8 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
@@andywilliam367 this scripture is for something else - I believe this scripture means a time line for all creation (the current year on the Hebrew calendar is 5781, so we would be in the 6th day... The seventh day will be God's day of rest - when Christ comes and reins on Earth for a thousand years of peace...) This scripture may have meanings for other mysteries as well... But the original 7 days of creation were literally days... Think about Cain and Abel their births etc and the time lines of the generations until David. It wouldn't make sense if you applied your idea there...
@@ab-in3zn that was my response to @Paulina Wang comment about death of Adam by eating fruit. I agree what you mean, but my point is about God said death will come if Adam eating the fruit. Genesis 3:22, "The lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and Take also from Tree of Life and eat and live forever." All the commandment about the tree is fix. Adam reach age of 930 that raise the question why he still live that long? 2 Peter 3:8 is the answer to that. Adam died not in one full a day of Heaven.
Paulina I have always thought the same but couldnt get my head around Adam casting his guilt off on Eve. the rabbi's way looking at it makes sense, too. and after knowing all the autistic men I've met, I can see that happening.
Thank you Ribbi Manis, you did not cover the word, Elohim, meaning plural. You did not cover the serpent. These are two very important words that need to be understood in the Adam and Eve story.
Elohim is a word that means plural as in one what and three who's. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The triune God. They are one together.
I was raised Christian and am a Christian and I love the last two rabbi's I've listened to. So wise, and it resonates as true to me, and I appreciate this video. God is larger than religions made by humans to make sense of life and give guidelines because seeking truth takes a lot of effort. God is large, and we are made in his image. God is love. thank you for speaking your thoughts
1 Timothy 2:14 says Adam was not deceived, but Eve was deceived. How can she be deceived if she was the one that knew what God really wanted? I appreciate the Rabbi's interpretation. I believe Christians can learn a lot from Jews in understanding the bible. They are the ones that have been chosen by God to bring the knowledge of God into this world. In this case, however, I have to disagree with the Rabbi. According to Timothy, Eve was deceived, meaning she was tricked by Satan. Adam on the other hand was not deceived. He knew what was going on. He knew what would happen. I think that Adam made a choice. His choice was to stay with God or to fall from grace with the woman that he loved. Adam chose to fall with Eve.
hehehehe..Do you realise that it is ONLY through the 'bible' (take your pick from among the hundreds of different versions) that you have even HEARD of 'god'. This REALITY does NOT lend itself to providing "sense and guidelines." Nor even consisencies. (And if it's just that you have a 'thing' for shaggy grey beards I'm happy to send you a photo of me. (Though a little girl last week bailed me up in the shopping-mall and started listing the things she wanted for christmas! Wonder how the Rabbits manage on that front?)
@@dabbbles Hard Atheist here. My personal opinion is that God was created by humans out of necessity, but like I said, that's *my* opinion. I'm open to learn new things and religions interest me, since they're an easy way to learn more about the different cultures that surround the globe. You coming to a Rabbi's channel to try and disproof God is not even ignorant, it's sad. If you like pineapples more than pears, good, but don't go around shaming on others for prefering pears. You only make yourself look as an arrogant, close-minded prick that does not have the slightliest respect for culture diversity.
@@boringveil4783 I actually appreciate you mentioning that, it’s the same as a religious person going to an overtly atheistic channel - not on videos talking about religion which opens the door to religious discussion, but just normal videos where they’ve mentioned in passing that they don’t believe in God - and trying to evangelize the crap out of him. It’s just ridiculous and is spurred by a desire for conflict I think.
I just love your teachings so much Rabbi and I'm so happy I found your Chanel ☀️☀️☀️ thank you Rabbi for empowering us🙏🙏🙏🙏❤💕❤💕💕❤💕❤❤☀️👼👼☀️💕☀️💕☀️👼☀️☀️🌺☀️🌺☀️🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏
I know what you mean but its clear that there were other ppl on earth you can see this when cain is sent to exile he says they will know who I am and they will kill me
Adam was the devil made to conquer the original inhabitance of the earth to rule them and bring forth the understanding that The original people male and female ellohim are the GOD from the beginning. That’s it. Not to save the world but to bring forth the evil that the original people did not have any inclination to bring forth upon themselves to the point of Adam destroying himself, (surely die) because Adam is made to die, not able to reproduce after 6 generations and the cannot make no more babies. So eat from the original trees. The original people. Take the fruit of the womb of the original trees. You will surely Die. Adam shows us the evil, upon death of Adam the world will be at true peace.
I had to play this story twice. and for some reason, it makes sense, in a comical way. You gave me a picture of Adam and Eve from a spiritual perspective. I wish I could get a copy of this story. Rabbi I listen to you as often as I can. I have brought two of your books which I treasure. Yes, I'm American-African, I really love to one day sit at your table and listen to more of your precious gems of wisdom. Once again I love the story of Adam and Eve.
Thank you, Rabbi. There are many of us Christians (myself included) who, even from the early Christian movement, held to the idea not of Original Sin, but of Original goodness. As someone who holds that interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures requires listening to the people whose book it is, it brings me much joy to know that there is a Jewish interpretation of Genesis 3 that affirms that. Peace be with you.
Are you serious? The text is talking about how Adam and Eve rebelled with the angels against God and altered the creation which was the sin of the Angels who let their first estate and were laying with the women of men.. I tell you you religious folk don't really read your Bible, every bit of The Narrative of the Bible is about how the bloodline of Seth was to remove the children of the Angels which will referred to as the Nephilim, the term Nephilim in the Hebrew means the Fallen ones. Everyone remembers Israel was given Canaan land the land of milk and honey, they just don't seem to remember God commanded them to kill all the women men and Children of the Nephilim race in order to receive it, and allegoric history which leads to them inheriting the Angels first a state at the end of the book, wise men call it heaven. The religious community has no business messing with this book you're not part of it and you're a product of replacement Theology and there's no salvation in that ideology
Hhmm.. But my brother the probs ppl nowadays thought that prophet adam lives in cave like cavemen but prophet adam came/sent down with knowledge there are many prophets if im not wrong human ages in some old scriptures they live longer than us about nine hundred years giant&huge body not like us today small and dont live longer like them we can all look many discovered lost ancient civilizations before us today the experts&archeologist confused how they built it,they also said civilizations before might be already live in modern world but got reset bcs too many sinners they also rejected prophets in their time after the disasters people who followed their prophets is saved and human started their new civilization again2..🤷🏼♂️
It doesn't really matter. Since neither 'sin' nor 'good' existed before god created them. And given his prescience it's unavoidable it's clear that he did so DELIBERATELY. Ditto 'evil' etc.
Noah condemned the world and preached righteousness And the earth was in those days destroyed by a great flood In theses days it is reserved for fire. Unless a man is born again he'll never see the kingdom of God
It would be nice if something like that could happen, but the scriptures state that the opposite is going to happen. Clearly the world is far too hate-filled and divided for anything like that to come to pass
Having been raised in a Christian Baptist church …. I often struggled with so many stories and dogma thus I have been contemplating these questions for years. This offers some interesting points. One in particular is that instead of punishment or curse it was simply a description of their new situation ☝️
@@sharmamahabir7896Agree. There are so many holes one can poke in this “story”. Adam was tasked with caring for the garden and naming the animals, then asked god for a spouse after which go out him to a deep slumber, all in 9 hours? Also God said “it is good” when he finished creation, what “lower level” of the world would Adam’s and eve need to fix?
@@madeinjapan3333 The Bible says sin came into the world through man. There was no “lower physical world”, the garden of Eden was on earth and Genesis even names the 4 rivers that flowed through it.

I've been searching for God for so long. I've been terrified of going to hell. My life has been so unconventional. I ended up transgender. That was a big no no. I ended up with two wives. Didn't even chase after them, it just happened. It came with immense trauma. I've made every mistake in the book. However, if I wouldn't have made the mistakes I did, 3 children, their mother, one of my wives, my best friend, a homeless woman, and another homeless woman would all be dead. Not only that, none of them believe in God, yet I have the most intense dreams. I ended up in every place I was not supposed to be. I even ended up in a cult and then 4 different religions. I've met more people than I can keep track of. One day though, I had 3 dreams where I met God. He showed me how he saved my life, what my dreams meant, and a secret to how it all works. Now no one understands how everything can be so bad, how I've made so many mistakes, be told I am going to hell, yet every day I talk to Him. I love him so much. I only want to be better for Him and I feel like I fail all the time. I do fail all the time, but I try again.. thank you. Seriously thank you. Your wisdom is exactly what I needed to carry on.
no the bible isnt truth. It has some truths in it. none of which have you recognized yet. Adam and eve didnt sin nor is that why birth is painful. birth wasnt painful before the earth tribes began mixing with each other. Adam and Eve were not created here they came here. as long as all you listen to is the broad path of church easy to find easy to follow you will never know the truth of the kingdom

This is a very jewish interpretation. "Men should follow women into sin, because God wants you to sin in order to make the world a better place." A very Rasputin-like belief. I don't think jews believe this version at all. It's just what they tell Christians. They know that the actual sin had to do with their father, who was not Adam.

Um, you don't know the he is ordained by God at all. God tells us to be discerning and not just take a person's word for granted. We are to compare their teachings with scripture. I also have many concerns about what he us teaching.

2 Corinthians 11:3 I am afraid that your minds will be corrupted and that you will abandon your full and pure devotion to Christ--in the same way that Eve was deceived by the snake's clever lies.
It 2 Corinthians 3 state truth, it matters not if it believed. That's the choice of the readers. It's the consequences that matters based on God's warning. Example: Sodom, Lot warned them and they ignored him because it didn't fit what they wanted to hear.
The idea behind this verse, and the reason I posted it was to show that Eve was deceived by the serpents lies. It wasn't some clever thought that Eve had, as this guy claims. It was wrong for them to eat the fruit. This guy's teaching is totally against the Bible's teachings.
@@TheProfessorSocks if I was convinced that this guy's doctrine was correct, I'm not sure that I would allow any other biblical verses to be used as proof text against it either. If you want to dispute the Corinthians verse on the grounds of not believing that the new testament is accurate, that's a different matter. But the teachings in the new testament dispute the false doctrine this guy is teaching.
I'm not Jewish. I'm a black man but I have always been attracted to the Jewish version of the Bible. I think in a sense Jewish people are here to educate the masses about the Bible with new insights. They are in my veiw not fulfilling their purpose unless they do this. I think before we are born we come down here to make this world better, better ourselves and to make ourselves and encourage others to go back to their spiritual nature they had in heaven.
This is EXACTLY what it means to be G-d's Chosen People. But what people don't know is that the Israelites (Jews are the modern day descendants of the Israelite Tribe of Judah, and fhe remants of the other 11 Tribes) were the last nation to be offered to the Torah, not because G-d didn't choose the Israelites, He most certainly did, but because He wanted to give the other nations ro opptunity to accept the Torah. But every nation asked questions about what was in the Torah, which immediately disqualified them. But the Israelites, accepted first of their own free will (so it was a mutual choice), and then they asked what's in it. What would have happened had another nation accepted first? Simple, they would have become a part of the Israelites...we may be a nation unto ourselves, and therefore a distinct ethnic group, but we do accept spiritual conversion, you literally become a part of the Tribe...but this conversion is a one way door. Anyways, so being the Chosen People isn't about being favoured by G-d, so much as being chosen to be the world's priests. Jews have Cohanim, the descendants of Aharon (Moshe's brother), they are our priests, and the rest of what would have been the Tribe of Levi, are the Priest's assistants basically, and Yisraelim (the rest of the Jews) are the priests for the other nations. That doesn't mean we are the spiritual leaders for everyone else, it just means we have to set an example for other nations and people, we have to perform Tikkuun Olam (literally heal the world), something many Jews, including completely secular, non-observant Jews by birth but culturally assimilated do a lot of. Part of this is also positively ontributing to global society as a whole through contributions to science and medicine, and technology (think of how many Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews despite being 0.25% of the global population, or Jewish contributions to major technology and medical breakthroughs), to showing the world Monotheism and spreading G-ds word in many different ways, there are concepts from the Torah that show up in Eastern philosophies even if they arent monotheistic. Being the Chosen People is a burden, as much as it's a privilege.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children.

It is not to be added to by other sources as the Kabbalah or other Jewish mystical writings, like this man does. What is not written in this account does not belong with it. At least that is not how to deal with scripture if you want to understand it.
Jude 18-19 "They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit."
The Bible was written around 2,000+ years ago. But it’s never been imminent until specific events happen first. For example, the 7-year Tribulation hasn’t always been imminent bc Israel hasn’t always been a nation. That had to be in place first & that didn’t happen until 1948😳 They also have to build their 3rd temple- which IS currently in the works. We know the mark of the beast is made mandatory 3.5 years into the Tribulation. So only until recently, is the rapture and Tribulation any day now since prophesies are being fulfilled🙂
@@HarpazoReady2022 The New Testament is 2,000 years old. The Rabbi was speaking from the Old Testament. Men believed every angry act of God was the end.
He died spiritually that day ,with a result of dieing 900 years physicaley later.thats why you must be born of the spirit to enter the kingdom of Elohim through believing the gospel
Don't forget the Water! It is essential to be born or the Spirit and through the Water as Noah and His family were saved through the water. It is recognized that the washing away of sin is essential for the Spirit to enter.
Technically he died physically within that day. A day with God is as a thousand years and a thousand years a day. Hence, no man has ever made it to 1,000 years old, not even Methuselah.
How long exactly? If G-d made everything in six days, and the 7th day He rested, please tell how you deduced that Adam spent there a very long time? In your human finite thinking it takes a while to name the animals. We just don’t know fully these details, and I don’t think that it really matters. All we have to do is serve the Lord!
@@dannymack9636 maybe I didn’t make my point properly. I am really not sure how long the 24 hours is. If G-d is timeless and time expands, it’s hard for us in human body and limited time to comprehend G-d’s time and timing.
@@dannymack9636 wow! You are really jumping off tracks aren’t you????? G-d gave the Bible to the Jewish people! Period. He did not give them the Bible and then He would decide to forget about them. Just because you don’t agree with the rabbi’s interpretation it doesn’t mean that you need to derail. I would suggest re-reading the Bible, NT and OT.
@@christophermoore5190 his statements are far stretched. He shouldn't be adding to the word. Nevertheless, I always take things people say with a grain of salt
It is determined "vaguely" by the lineage record told in other books in the Torah collection. The conclusion, reached and agreed upon by religious scholars, is that the earth must be approximately 6,000 years old. Therefore, based on this interpretation, and the age of Adam at the time of his death, they extrapolate the age of Adam at the time of the "Fall" (which would be a decimal figure) and approximate "1 hour" of his accumulated existence, at the time. Eve, of course, would have been perhaps 45 minutes old ... hence, the ease with which, the serpent was able to "dazzle" her with visions of grandeur. Now, before you begin searching the ground for hefty rocks ... let me just say that I recognize this as a theory offered by some ... but, not necessarily my own. After all, it is not nearly as important what I think, as it is what you think. So, if you will excuse me ... I feel the urge to gather rocks. 😉
God did not plant the tree, the earth was given instructions to bring forth trees among them was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Also Adam and Eve had to live the garden because of the tree of life. God does not want them to live forever.
@@THEREAL_EATMYSHORTS "let the dead bury their dead". It's obvious that God did not mean physically dead on that day, because he did not physically die. He died spiritually and several hundred years later died physically.
@@moonlightsea8 how is it obvious what God meant? That's not the 1st time God contradicted himself. 1st God says "all trees is good" and then "one that wasnt"... 1st. God said that "he needed man to till the land" then he says "as a punishment man shall till the land". 1st God tells Abraham to "kill his son" then he says dont... 1st God "confuses language in Babylon" next "satan is the author of confusion" 😕 so how do you know what God meant when he said that A+E shall die? Death is death... you can die and never come back from physical death but one can die a spiritual death and come back from the dead...
I enjoyed hearing your interpretation. This is an interesting theory but it seems to be based on opinion and not on what's actually written. For instance how did historians conclude that Adam and Eve were 9 hours old and ate the fruit one hour later? I don't know how much the Torah and the Bible differ, but in the Bible it says Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day and on the seventh day God rested and took pleasure in his works. That doesn't sound like they had already eaten the fruit. The concept that God intended mankind to fall so that we could fix the world certainly discounts the Christian viewpoint that we're incapable of that task and need God to intervene and save us. If God's plan was for us to fix the world it doesn't seem to be working.
Why GOD created the Earth if his intention wasn't that we humans go to live in it rather than in Eden? They are saying that Moses had written Genesis. But in Genesis there are a lot of events that happened after Moses. How could Moses talk about events happened after him? Is really Moses who wrote Genesis? Was it GOD who told him the true story or was it hear say?
@JS, The Torah is the first five books of what Christians call the "Old Testament". We Jews call our Bible the Tanakh. It differs from the Old Testament in the manner the books are arranged. What R' Friedman referred to in terms the 9th hour and 10th hour are explained a text called Midrash Rabbah, more specifically B'reshit Rabbah (Genesis Rabbah). It's an hermeneutic work in the Rabbinic Tradition. It would help you understand his exposition better. Also, as he said, the Torah text can be read in many different ways. This is what he did there. In fact, Chazal (our Sages of blessed memory) talked about the 70 faces of the Torah. There's more, but I hope this eases into our Bible reading tradition. The basic premise of the Torah is that humans have a free will and ability to do what is best for them. Therefore, they don't need anyone to do anything for them. This point is best explained in Ezekiel 18. Read it.
hehehehe Even on the second time around. (Post Flood). Apart from everthing else it proves god is incompetent, and makes mistakes ll the way own the line. PS... and creating foreskins; later demanding they be removed becuse they were not only unnecessry but alo a hotbed for hordes of lethal bacteria. (Which he ALSO created for some unexplained reason.) Dawkins, with consistent, undeniable reference from the 'holy bible'/torah, etc. got it right:- "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." .........And THAT'S even before the Feminists had their say!
@@YochanBenYosef Be honest about your own life and the sin you can’t control. You need a new Spirit! Ezekiel 20:19I reminded them that I was the LORD their God and that they should obey my laws and teachings. 20I told them to respect my Sabbath to show that they were my people and that I was the LORD their God. 21But the children also rebelled against me. They refused to obey my laws and teachings, and they treated the Sabbath as any other day. I became angry and decided to punish them in the desert. 22But I did not. That would have disgraced me in front of the nations that had seen me bring the Israelites out of Egypt. 23 So I solemnly swore that I would scatter the people of Israel across the nations, 24because they had disobeyed my laws and ignored my teachings; they had disgraced my Sabbath and worshiped the idols their ancestors had made. 25I gave them laws that bring punishment instead of life, 26and I let them offer me unacceptable sacrifices, including their first-born sons. I did this to horrify them and to let them know that I, the LORD, was punishing them. 27Ezekiel, tell the people of Israel that their ancestors also rejected and insulted me 28by offering sacrifices, incense, and wine to gods on every hill and under every large tree. I was very angry, because they did these things in the land I had given them! 29I asked them where they went to worship those gods, and they answered, “At the local shrines.”+ And those places of worship are still called shrines. 30Then ask the Israelites why they are following the example of their wicked ancestors 31by worshiping idols and by sacrificing their own children as offerings. They commit these sins and still think they can ask me for a message. As surely as I am the living LORD God, I will give them no answer. 32They may think they can be like other nations and get away with worshiping idols made of wood and stone. But that will never happen!
God actually had a lot of time to fellowship with Adam , several years before eve came after Adam couldn't have fellowship with the animals , He said it is not good for the man to be alone, so the theory of 9 hours and 11 hours are all false hood. Thank you
True, Addam spent time to give name to all the animals. This Jewish forgot to mention how the serpent could talk to eve. God not only curse man and woman with pain, but he also curses all creatures of the earth because of the serpent.
To me, whether it was an 9 hours or 30 years doesn't change who God and Adam were in the story. Dont let time convince you whether the story is false or true. To God time is irrelevant, and only belongs to human insecurity and extinct dinosaurs. The story is true because it shows the level of Love that God had for Adam and his offspring. This Rabbi speaks from the beautiful depths of the Torah, many too scared to venture into because they unfortunately trust in Man more than God.
The only issue I have with this story is if Adam felt it was right why did he feel shame when He ate the fruit he also tried to hide he knew he was wrong he also tried to cover his self due to the knowledge of nakedness ect
@@YAWNFILMZ Adam didn't feel it (eating the fruit) was right, in fact it was probably the first time in his young life where he felt bad about something. The story is showing how God was wanting this reaction in His creations eventually. What we should understand is that although Adam was ashamed of being naked in front of Gods who he respected, it doesn't mean he was trying to hide his error from God. He answered God truthfully and honestly. He hid because of nakedness, where we are to believe clothing was understood as a moral obligation and courtesy since the beginning. God appeared to Adam, who was still without sin, to inquire the proceedings. In my opinion and close read, the punishments were more like warnings God gave as the natural consequence to the man and woman. The only curse was to the snake, who knew right from wrong already and chose wrong. The rest needed to learn to appreciate life by experiencing death and pain.
This sounds like one of the Gnostic Gospels. Is Gnosticism still such a part of Judaism? I honestly thought that had long since fallen out of vogue, so to speak, among Jewish philosophers long ago.
My whole life I have been told that it is Eve’s fault for the downfall of man. Today, I understand that Eve understood the assignment from God. Thank you so much
I understand that GOD is in search of a creation of his own that is naturally obedient and committed to him through their own free will.i also believe we on earth are not his only flock.

No matter the explanation, the conclusion is still the same. How you live in this life (the choices you make), will determine whether or not you're getting on the VIP list or the RIP list. Unfortunately I have a lot of yuck from my childhood that I'm trying to heal from but, fortunately God keeps giving me another day to build a better relationship with thee. 😇 I'm finding more strength throughout the years to understand and heal from the hurt though.

@sweet Lots of scholars seem to be certain that the Garden of Eden was where Iraq now is. I have Muslim friends too. Check it out. Ask google or Siri where the geographical area is of the garden, or check it on the web. One theory is that God took it up into heaven, hence was then referred to as the Paradise mentioned by Christ later on.

You know, I am convinced that it would have to be Satan who seeks to convince humans to believe with faith. Because, there is no other way to fool people. God would say this is what it is. That said, it was people who wrote the Torah etc. So many contradictions and BS.
So explain why an angel w/ a flaming sword was posted to prevent them from returning? And there were 2 trees, not one. The tree of immortality was the 2nd.
This is the first time I've heard a teacher point out that Adam lied and was at fault for eating from the tree. It's usually always just pinned on Eve the temptress.
Eve ate first but the Bible says she turned and gave to her husband who was with her. At no time did he ever stop her. As a matter of fact, they did not know they were naked until he ate. Is it possible if Adam had assumed his role as the rightful spiritual leader and stopped his wife or just did not eat himself, would things have turned out different?
@@williamvan8164 well here’s the thing. He lied once he ate the fruit. So, when you eat the fruit you have the knowledge. So at the time of his lie, Adam HAD ALREADY known the right thing to do. Which was be honest. But he CONSCIOUSLY decided to lie. He was responsible. So it wasn’t so much as tho him innocently eating the fruit, But once he already had the knowledge, he decided to not be honest, consciously.
The bigger question to ask is why would an all knowing Creator put a tree "he" did not want to be eaten from in front of beings he knew good and well would eat from it? That would be much like putting a tray of goodies in front of two year olds and telling them not to eat the goodies when you already know they will. Then getting angry and upset because they did what you already knew they would do. Isn't our lives much like this tree of knowledge of "good and evil"? We make certain choices and those choices have certain outcomes. The question now is, do we learn from those choices or do we keep repeating the same choices and expecting different results, I've done a good bit of that myself. Better yet how can I condemn anyone for their poor choices when I've made plenty of my own? What would our world look like if we showed the mercy we want for ourselves to others, or give out the forgiveness we want to be bestowed upon us to others? I think we are missing the point of the Rabbis metaphor, what can we collectively do to make this world we all live in a better place for us all? To be honest saying that's just how it is, or it's a corrupt world, isn't getting the job done. Debates on the fine points of our beliefs isn't accomplishing the task either. We live in a world of Cause and Effect we all know this but just don't believe it, if we mind the Cause, or what we are putting out, the effect will take care of itself. Why not put out love and forgiveness something we all want for ourselves. Namaste' and Blessed Be
The most important part of this story is that there is " Hope " . God promised His Son in the Old Testament many times through the Prophets . He came 2000 years ago with a promise that He would return . Gathering all who would believe in Him . He will come soon .

ive heard this version of the genesis before - but its extra biblical and does not explain the serpents temptation (nor eve's superior wisdom to adam's) 1) if this interpretation is true - why is it not recorded for us in scripture? 2) does this version of the genesis have a verifiable source - or is it just a convenient, reimagining? 3) God is not a God of confusion, [1 Corinthians 14:33] its a nice story though
Thank you Rabbi. This version of the 'sin' of Adam & Eve is much comforting than I was brought to believe as a Catholic. It focuses us more to the task we are given than our failure.
easy to answer adam and eve only 10hrs in and do not know about death or life even,if they never ate from the tree we would never be talking about this
If they didn't eat from the tree we could be sitting here today listening to firsthand accounts from Adam and Eve telling us what life was like back in the day.

I have been watching your videos/sermons for some time . . . first time posting that I remember . . . thank you! My understanding of that story has been broadened. I have experienced a lot of difficulty with faith most of my life. I grew up with a Christian doctrine all around me, Sunday School, etc. I have had a lot of difficulty because of all of the religions on the planet, the corruption within organized religion, and such. who is correct? Who is wrong? Who is corrupt? I have always believed that God is real. The argument I always use even to myself is that, if we, as humans, can be a collection of energy and particles of matter have consciousness and the ability to think, why couldn't the universe in all its eternal, infinite, and complexity not have the same ability?
In Kabbalah, the Sephirot are the ten emanations or aspects of the divine that serve as a framework for understanding the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the spiritual realms. Each Sephirah represents a particular attribute or quality of the divine, and together they form a dynamic system of spiritual and cosmological principles. When considering the story of Adam and Eve from a Kabbalistic perspective, the Sephirot can offer insights into the spiritual dynamics at play: Adam: In Kabbalah, Adam represents the archetypal human being and is often associated with the Sephirah of Tiferet. Tiferet, located in the center of the Sephirotic tree, represents harmony, beauty, and balance. Adam's role is to harmonize and integrate the qualities of the other Sephirot within himself, reflecting the divine image. Eve: Eve is traditionally associated with the Sephirah of Malkhut, which represents the realm of the physical and material world. Malkhut is also associated with receptivity and the capacity to manifest divine energies. Eve's connection to Malkhut suggests her embodiment of the earthly aspects of creation and her role in bringing forth physical life. Interaction of Sephirot: The story of Adam and Eve can be understood as a reflection of the interaction and dynamics between the Sephirot. For example, the temptation and fall of Eve can be seen as an imbalance or distortion in the Sephirotic flow. This imbalance is rectified through the process of tikkun, the restoration of harmony and divine order within the Sephirotic structure. It's important to note that Kabbalistic interpretations of biblical stories, including Adam and Eve, can vary among different Kabbalistic schools and scholars. The above explanations provide a general framework, but specific interpretations and elaborations may differ. Kabbalistic teachings delve deep into the nature of existence and the divine, providing intricate metaphysical and spiritual insights. Exploring the Sephirot and their connections to biblical narratives can be a rich and profound journey within the framework of Kabbalah.

The story I read is different than what you told. Adam was much older than 9 hours old when Eve was created. When God explained the tree of knowledge to Adam, Eve wasn't created yet. In fact, I have also read about Lilith. Lilith was Adams first partner and was created from the clay just as Adam was. According to this story, Lilith was told about the tree at the same time as Adam. Eve was later created from a rib of Adam. Your story is quite different than what I have read in print. Where did you read this story? Your timeline and story are not found anywhere that I looked
I'm intrigued to ask a few questions. One, how do historians know how many hours it was between the creation of man and the commandment to not eat the fruit of the tree and then to the win itself? And if that timeline is true, with it being that Adam was created on the sixth day, did God not rest until after the fall? I appreciate your time and thank you!

Read it again my friend Adam was not created on the six day ,on the fifth day men and women were created and told to be fruitful and multiply genesis 1 :26 .Adam and eve were not created untill after six and seven days had passed they were not even here for the first sabbath read on to genesis 2: 4 to see when Adam came the question for me is what happen before Adam ,how much time passed between genesis 1:26 and genesis 2:4 and what happen to and who were the people from genesis 1:26? Never here any thing about this read it slowly for yourself pause and think about what your reading ,a lot is missing in are quest for past knowledge if you are reading with comprehension you can,t help having these questions ..
the real reason Adam and Eve was exiled from the garden of Eden was . that Adam called eve woman . think clearly about this ,the tree of good evil sits in the middle of the garden. Or some bibles will tell you in the midst of the garden .just another way of saying in the middle probably . And eve desired . the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden . Also the bible contradicts , whether adam came from dust

23 And now behold, I say unto you that if it had been possible for Adam to have partaken of the fruit of the tree of life at that time, there would have been no death, and the word would have been void, making God a liar, for he said: bIf thou eat thou shalt surely die.

We Orthodox Jews believe that Scripture was given with an Oral component, which was first set down in writing in the time of the Rabbis of the mishnah, roughly 2nd century CE. The two primary volumes are the Midrash and the Mishna/Talmud. The Midrash tends to focus predominantly on filling in the narrative of the Torah with extra facts, details, teachings, and parables. The Mishna and Talmud focus largely on Jewish laws and rituals, but also contains some exposition of scripture as well.
This is the "historians" of which Rabbi Friedman speaks of.
Didn’t say he breathed a soul into them... it says he breathed into them and they became a living soul
Yes,Adam became a living soul.Lies are told and are misinterpreted.there is only one soul and the soul is not everlasting.for the soul that sin it shall die.fear the one that who can destroy both the soul and the body.soul can die.the devil says in the garden you will not die,the same lie is repeated today by saying that soul is immortal.
So, mud has a soul on its own? Your comment makes no sense
@@peacefulruler1 God didn’t take a soul from some other place and place it into Adam. When God breathed into Adam he passed part of his very soul into Adam. Notice God only did this with Adam and not Eve. So the the very breath that God passed through Adam was taken from Adam to create Eve and so on. I believe this is how we are all connected to God. We are all born with curious nature about a higher power. In my opinion that’s because it’s part of who we are, it’s already in us.
It amazes me how knowledge is kept from even those who appear to be Godly people?
Pagan religions teach that we are 3. Body, Soul and Spirit, but the Torah teaches that we are 2, "Soul(body) and Spirit."
Pagans teach that the Soul is some type of invisible thing inside our bodies that can be taken away from us by a being they call the Devil (Satan, Serpent, etc.) when we sin? "Fear him who can kill the soul and body in hell" Mt.10:28. Can your body go to hell with you when you die? No, so this statement is fictional.
The term "Soul" is simply a Torah word for "body" which was corrupted to support the Trinity invention. For instance the LORD God said in Lv 5:2, "If a soul touches anything unclean...(HE) hath offended; Lv 5:3, "if a soul touches anything unclean, (HE) hath trespassed; Lv 5:4, " If a soul swear (and pronounce with its lips....)
"No soul shall eat blood" Lv 17:12.
Here's a perfect example that soul means body, Lv 22:11, "But if the Priest buys any soul with money....." The Priest has to feed that person!
I hope this knowledge helps someone.
@@terryrose2376 Yessss. Well explained.
Behind Rabbi Friedman’s ‘story behind the story’ there’s a strenuous and serious study of the Hebrew
text that would take hours to analyze and that most people would not be willing to listen to. The rabbi is presenting a story as an image of ten thousand words. Let us be grateful for his gifts and generosity.

WTF suggests the Creator of Heaven and Earth can't speak for Himself, but requires endless 'interpreters' and 'translators' and 'justifiers' and 'explainers'? The ONLY 'story' is that produced by God, and written, word-perfectly in the multi-language bible.
Too bad that all of that “strenuous and serious study of the Hebrew” led to such a flawed interpretation and teaching. No white beard or yamaka can cover the flaws in that teaching. One word for those who seem enticed by this arrogance and hostility to truth: “run”.

Didn’t God walk with Adam and Eve in the evenings before sinning? That’s not 6 hours

Adam also named all the animals (Genesis 2:19), and I’m pretty sure this was before Eve was created. The account says, in verse 20, that he noticed the animals all had mates, but that he had none. And verses 21 & 22 says how God created Eve.👍

Back in the early 70s, I let my two little boys play with my calculator, I explained the buttons ,how to add and subtract numbers. I figured, that would entertain them for a little while, when I finished showing them how to use the calculator, I told them , not to push the red button, for any reason. Under no circumstances. Do not push the red button. They asked me why. I told them that I couldn’t tell them , just do not push that red button. As I was leaving the room, looking back, they were pushing the red button. Parents know. When you tell children, No. they will do the opposite, even god knows that
You should have tried telling them they would die if they pushed the red button 😂
My Mom left the room when I was small, probably almost the age I could be in a room alone for a few minutes. She was ironing clothes and told me not to touch the iron. Well, I touched it and started to cry because it hurt my finger and I was so afraid my Dad would be upset that I didn’t listen! Well, they both comforted me and I got a bandaid. I learned in college then that children can’t understand the negative of things like “can’t” or “don’t”-instead they can better understand what to do, rather than what “not” to do, as that translates as “to do”.

I don’t believe the one hour theory , not found in the Bible.
This is a clear reason why, one dot or one title, should not be added to Yashuah's word.
They must resolve it this way for everything to occur within a literal 24 hour time frame however the Torah does not give such a literal time frame as evening and morning in the sense that we know it as was not created until the 4th day!
Also it makes no sense at all that the Spirit could enjoy the fruit of God's labor in 6 literal 24 hour periods!
When you see everything done on the 6th day you know Hashem did not mean a literal sun set, actually if you take the text literally it would be 12 hours because the text states evening (dark where 3 stars can be seen) and morning ( the time at which you awake or your surroundings become visible from the light)
I didn't get the 1 hr thing either. Also, I notice that the serpent's role was really downplayed in this rendition. Seems a tad bit off to me, though I don't know Hebrew and the Rabbi does.
In the Torah not the Bible.
@DontDoDa1ThanG .. Bible is a copy of the Torah . And that's period. and in fact a bad copy, altered changed.

I disagree with that story....GOD doesn't need his creation fixed by humans, including Adam and Eve. The purpose of having the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, was more like a object Divinely design to trigger the exercise of "Free Will". The only portion of human creation incorporated in the "Self " that had not been tested. And so the story goes, Adam and Eve chose wrong.
The “I kind of hope you do eat from it” theory, points to a sadistic creator who is anxious to bring suffering and pain to humans. Heresy

Carmelita Good yea but what they do it wrong, by doing this he is adding to the writings! And their Bible specifically says not to add or take away!
B H Don’t you know that the Bible has been revised so many times by removing books and changing to various versions to where there is no way to know what the original message was?
Be careful!!! The bible tells us if anyone adds or takes away any words from this prophecy
Revelation 22:18-19 NIV
[18]I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. [19]And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
IF He is adding to this prophecy wow !!!
How can you say they didn't sin when God told them no and the did?
Wet the conclusion with nine hours? In nine hours did Adam name all the thousand + animals, did he begin to feel alone, did he sleep, did he know Eve so well that he would listen to her and not God? I don't know where you got those 9 hours from, but it seems totally wrong to me, and without any biblical basis. God bless you.
Also he forgets to mention the seed of the serpent and the plan of satan to corrupt it. Notice he mentions eating from the tree and not the beguiling of Eve.
And yes 9 hours sounds a little to accurate for a simple man to know that.
Material reasoning has no equal concept to spirituality, man trying to make reason out of what we don't understand is as effective as it is detrimental.

We obey it brings him joy and we gain favor or we disobey his law and it brings sorrow and wrath. God can perceive the outcomes of every choice we make but that doesn't mean he sees the one we will make. This is why he has had to intervene in people's lives to counter the traps laid in front of us by evil forces but if we ignore God's warning then we cannot escape the consequence of it.

2 Peter 3:8 is the answer to that. Adam died not in one full a day of Heaven.

thank you for speaking your thoughts
It didn't convince me.
1 Timothy 2:14 says Adam was not deceived, but Eve was deceived. How can she be deceived if she was the one that knew what God really wanted? I appreciate the Rabbi's interpretation. I believe Christians can learn a lot from Jews in understanding the bible. They are the ones that have been chosen by God to bring the knowledge of God into this world. In this case, however, I have to disagree with the Rabbi. According to Timothy, Eve was deceived, meaning she was tricked by Satan. Adam on the other hand was not deceived. He knew what was going on. He knew what would happen. I think that Adam made a choice. His choice was to stay with God or to fall from grace with the woman that he loved. Adam chose to fall with Eve.
hehehehe..Do you realise that it is ONLY through the 'bible' (take your pick from among the hundreds of different versions) that you have even HEARD of 'god'.

Adam was the devil made to conquer the original inhabitance of the earth to rule them and bring forth the understanding that
The original people male and female ellohim are the GOD from the beginning. That’s it. Not to save the world but to bring forth the evil that the original people did not have any inclination to bring forth upon themselves to the point of Adam destroying himself, (surely die) because Adam is made to die, not able to reproduce after 6 generations and the cannot make no more babies. So eat from the original trees. The original people. Take the fruit of the womb of the original trees. You will surely Die. Adam shows us the evil, upon death of Adam the world will be at true peace.

As someone who holds that interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures requires listening to the people whose book it is, it brings me much joy to know that there is a Jewish interpretation of Genesis 3 that affirms that. Peace be with you.
Are you serious? The text is talking about how Adam and Eve rebelled with the angels against God and altered the creation which was the sin of the Angels who let their first estate and were laying with the women of men..
I tell you you religious folk don't really read your Bible, every bit of The Narrative of the Bible is about how the bloodline of Seth was to remove the children of the Angels which will referred to as the Nephilim, the term Nephilim in the Hebrew means the Fallen ones.
Everyone remembers Israel was given Canaan land the land of milk and honey, they just don't seem to remember God commanded them to kill all the women men and Children of the Nephilim race in order to receive it, and allegoric history which leads to them inheriting the Angels first a state at the end of the book, wise men call it heaven.
The religious community has no business messing with this book you're not part of it and you're a product of replacement Theology and there's no salvation in that ideology
Hhmm.. But my brother the probs ppl nowadays thought that prophet adam lives in cave like cavemen but prophet adam came/sent down with knowledge there are many prophets if im not wrong human ages in some old scriptures they live longer than us about nine hundred years giant&huge body not like us today small and dont live longer like them we can all look many discovered lost ancient civilizations before us today the experts&archeologist confused how they built it,they also said civilizations before might be already live in modern world but got reset bcs too many sinners they also rejected prophets in their time after the disasters people who followed their prophets is saved and human started their new civilization again2..🤷🏼♂️
It doesn't really matter. Since neither 'sin' nor 'good' existed before god created them. And given his prescience it's unavoidable it's clear that he did so DELIBERATELY. Ditto 'evil' etc.
.... and then god created sin!

I've been searching for God for so long. I've been terrified of going to hell. My life has been so unconventional. I ended up transgender. That was a big no no. I ended up with two wives. Didn't even chase after them, it just happened. It came with immense trauma. I've made every mistake in the book. However, if I wouldn't have made the mistakes I did, 3 children, their mother, one of my wives, my best friend, a homeless woman, and another homeless woman would all be dead. Not only that, none of them believe in God, yet I have the most intense dreams. I ended up in every place I was not supposed to be. I even ended up in a cult and then 4 different religions. I've met more people than I can keep track of. One day though, I had 3 dreams where I met God. He showed me how he saved my life, what my dreams meant, and a secret to how it all works. Now no one understands how everything can be so bad, how I've made so many mistakes, be told I am going to hell, yet every day I talk to Him. I love him so much. I only want to be better for Him and I feel like I fail all the time. I do fail all the time, but I try again.. thank you. Seriously thank you. Your wisdom is exactly what I needed to carry on.

If there was no sin, why does it hurt to give birth? Why do we suffer, sin and die? The Bible is truth.
It hurts to give birth because the human skull is so big because we have large brains. Why don't you start using yours?
Amen sister
Which Bible?
no the bible isnt truth. It has some truths in it. none of which have you recognized yet. Adam and eve didnt sin nor is that why birth is painful. birth wasnt painful before the earth tribes began mixing with each other. Adam and Eve were not created here they came here. as long as all you listen to is the broad path of church easy to find easy to follow you will never know the truth of the kingdom

Are you suggesting we dump god's finest creation?? Without Evil (deliberately created by god!) there could BE no god. Then what would the moronic-masses ave to chatter about?
2 Corinthians 11:3 I am afraid that your minds will be corrupted and that you will abandon your full and pure devotion to Christ--in the same way that Eve was deceived by the snake's clever lies.
It 2 Corinthians 3 state truth, it matters not if it believed. That's the choice of the readers. It's the consequences that matters based on God's warning. Example: Sodom, Lot warned them and they ignored him because it didn't fit what they wanted to hear.
I meant 2 Corinthians 11:3
The idea behind this verse, and the reason I posted it was to show that Eve was deceived by the serpents lies. It wasn't some clever thought that Eve had, as this guy claims. It was wrong for them to eat the fruit. This guy's teaching is totally against the Bible's teachings.
@@TheProfessorSocks if I was convinced that this guy's doctrine was correct, I'm not sure that I would allow any other biblical verses to be used as proof text against it either. If you want to dispute the Corinthians verse on the grounds of not believing that the new testament is accurate, that's a different matter. But the teachings in the new testament dispute the false doctrine this guy is teaching.
Remember, l
Lot was at the gate talking to the people. This is stated per the men who tried to be with the angels carnally.
I'm not Jewish. I'm a black man but I have always been attracted to the Jewish version of the Bible. I think in a sense Jewish people are here to educate the masses about the Bible with new insights. They are in my veiw not fulfilling their purpose unless they do this. I think before we are born we come down here to make this world better, better ourselves and to make ourselves and encourage others to go back to their spiritual nature they had in heaven.
This is EXACTLY what it means to be G-d's Chosen People. But what people don't know is that the Israelites (Jews are the modern day descendants of the Israelite Tribe of Judah, and fhe remants of the other 11 Tribes) were the last nation to be offered to the Torah, not because G-d didn't choose the Israelites, He most certainly did, but because He wanted to give the other nations ro opptunity to accept the Torah. But every nation asked questions about what was in the Torah, which immediately disqualified them. But the Israelites, accepted first of their own free will (so it was a mutual choice), and then they asked what's in it. What would have happened had another nation accepted first? Simple, they would have become a part of the Israelites...we may be a nation unto ourselves, and therefore a distinct ethnic group, but we do accept spiritual conversion, you literally become a part of the Tribe...but this conversion is a one way door. Anyways, so being the Chosen People isn't about being favoured by G-d, so much as being chosen to be the world's priests. Jews have Cohanim, the descendants of Aharon (Moshe's brother), they are our priests, and the rest of what would have been the Tribe of Levi, are the Priest's assistants basically, and Yisraelim (the rest of the Jews) are the priests for the other nations. That doesn't mean we are the spiritual leaders for everyone else, it just means we have to set an example for other nations and people, we have to perform Tikkuun Olam (literally heal the world), something many Jews, including completely secular, non-observant Jews by birth but culturally assimilated do a lot of. Part of this is also positively ontributing to global society as a whole through contributions to science and medicine, and technology (think of how many Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews despite being 0.25% of the global population, or Jewish contributions to major technology and medical breakthroughs), to showing the world Monotheism and spreading G-ds word in many different ways, there are concepts from the Torah that show up in Eastern philosophies even if they arent monotheistic. Being the Chosen People is a burden, as much as it's a privilege.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children.
I'm starting to think nobody knew what happened. It's like a rumor that got told so many times nobody knows the original story.
That makes the most sense out of all of these interpretations in this comment section lol.
I agree
Patricia
Our source of knowledge is the first book of Moses, Genesis. That is where the story is written. It is not to be added to by other sources as the Kabbalah or other Jewish mystical writings, like this man does. What is not written in this account does not belong with it. At least that is not how to deal with scripture if you want to understand it.

Jude 18-19 "They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit."
How long has it said the end of times would be, 4 maybe 5,000 years?
The Bible was written around 2,000+ years ago. But it’s never been imminent until specific events happen first. For example, the 7-year Tribulation hasn’t always been imminent bc Israel hasn’t always been a nation. That had to be in place first & that didn’t happen until 1948😳 They also have to build their 3rd temple- which IS currently in the works. We know the mark of the beast is made mandatory 3.5 years into the Tribulation. So only until recently, is the rapture and Tribulation any day now since prophesies are being fulfilled🙂

Where are you getting this hour thing from?
Can you back up what you're saying and 9 hours where you getting that from?
It is determined "vaguely" by the lineage record told in other books in the Torah collection. The conclusion, reached and agreed upon by religious scholars, is that the earth must be approximately 6,000 years old. Therefore, based on this interpretation, and the age of Adam at the time of his death, they extrapolate the age of Adam at the time of the "Fall" (which would be a decimal figure) and approximate "1 hour" of his accumulated existence, at the time.
Eve, of course, would have been perhaps 45 minutes old ... hence, the ease with which, the serpent was able to "dazzle" her with visions of grandeur.
Now, before you begin searching the ground for hefty rocks ... let me just say that I recognize this as a theory offered by some ... but, not necessarily my own.

Rabbi - I've 2 questions. 1. What was the need for Adam and Eve to step down 2. Why did god plant the tree of life and death ?
God did not plant the tree, the earth was given instructions to bring forth trees among them was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Also Adam and Eve had to live the garden because of the tree of life. God does not want them to live forever.
Adam did die on the day he ate from the tree, spiritually. He lost his human perfection. From then on it was downhill.
That's not what the book says... God said you shall die... not die spiritually!
@@THEREAL_EATMYSHORTS "let the dead bury their dead". It's obvious that God did not mean physically dead on that day, because he did not physically die. He died spiritually and several hundred years later died physically.
@@moonlightsea8 how is it obvious what God meant? That's not the 1st time God contradicted himself. 1st God says "all trees is good" and then "one that wasnt"... 1st. God said that "he needed man to till the land" then he says "as a punishment man shall till the land". 1st God tells Abraham to "kill his son" then he says dont... 1st God "confuses language in Babylon" next "satan is the author of confusion" 😕 so how do you know what God meant when he said that A+E shall die? Death is death... you can die and never come back from physical death but one can die a spiritual death and come back from the dead...
how could he be perdect and be tricked?
I enjoyed hearing your interpretation. This is an interesting theory but it seems to be based on opinion and not on what's actually written. For instance how did historians conclude that Adam and Eve were 9 hours old and ate the fruit one hour later? I don't know how much the Torah and the Bible differ, but in the Bible it says Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day and on the seventh day God rested and took pleasure in his works. That doesn't sound like they had already eaten the fruit.
The concept that God intended mankind to fall so that we could fix the world certainly discounts the Christian viewpoint that we're incapable of that task and need God to intervene and save us. If God's plan was for us to fix the world it doesn't seem to be working.
Why GOD created the Earth if his intention wasn't that we humans go to live in it rather than in Eden? They are saying that Moses had written Genesis. But in Genesis there are a lot of events that happened after Moses. How could Moses talk about events happened after him? Is really Moses who wrote Genesis? Was it GOD who told him the true story or was it hear say?
@JS, The Torah is the first five books of what Christians call the "Old Testament". We Jews call our Bible the Tanakh. It differs from the Old Testament in the manner the books are arranged. What R' Friedman referred to in terms the 9th hour and 10th hour are explained a text called Midrash Rabbah, more specifically B'reshit Rabbah (Genesis Rabbah). It's an hermeneutic work in the Rabbinic Tradition. It would help you understand his exposition better. Also, as he said, the Torah text can be read in many different ways. This is what he did there. In fact, Chazal (our Sages of blessed memory) talked about the 70 faces of the Torah. There's more, but I hope this eases into our Bible reading tradition. The basic premise of the Torah is that humans have a free will and ability to do what is best for them. Therefore, they don't need anyone to do anything for them. This point is best explained in Ezekiel 18. Read it.
hehehehe Even on the second time around. (Post Flood). Apart from everthing else it proves god is incompetent, and makes mistakes ll the way own the line. PS... and creating foreskins; later demanding they be removed becuse they were not only unnecessry but alo a hotbed for hordes of lethal bacteria. (Which he ALSO created for some unexplained reason.) Dawkins, with consistent, undeniable reference from the 'holy bible'/torah, etc. got it right:- "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
.........And THAT'S even before the Feminists had their say!
@@YochanBenYosef Be honest about your own life and the sin you can’t control. You need a new Spirit! Ezekiel 20:19I reminded them that I was the LORD their God and that they should obey my laws and teachings. 20I told them to respect my Sabbath to show that they were my people and that I was the LORD their God. 21But the children also rebelled against me. They refused to obey my laws and teachings, and they treated the Sabbath as any other day.
I became angry and decided to punish them in the desert. 22But I did not. That would have disgraced me in front of the nations that had seen me bring the Israelites out of Egypt. 23 So I solemnly swore that I would scatter the people of Israel across the nations, 24because they had disobeyed my laws and ignored my teachings; they had disgraced my Sabbath and worshiped the idols their ancestors had made. 25I gave them laws that bring punishment instead of life, 26and I let them offer me unacceptable sacrifices, including their first-born sons. I did this to horrify them and to let them know that I, the LORD, was punishing them.
27Ezekiel, tell the people of Israel that their ancestors also rejected and insulted me 28by offering sacrifices, incense, and wine to gods on every hill and under every large tree. I was very angry, because they did these things in the land I had given them! 29I asked them where they went to worship those gods, and they answered, “At the local shrines.”+ And those places of worship are still called shrines.
30Then ask the Israelites why they are following the example of their wicked ancestors 31by worshiping idols and by sacrificing their own children as offerings. They commit these sins and still think they can ask me for a message. As surely as I am the living LORD God, I will give them no answer. 32They may think they can be like other nations and get away with worshiping idols made of wood and stone. But that will never happen!
Let’s not forget that 2 Peter 3:8 says that one day to the Lord is like a 1000 years and 1000 years is like one day to God. So…. this seems heretical.
God actually had a lot of time to fellowship with Adam , several years before eve came after Adam couldn't have fellowship with the animals , He said it is not good for the man to be alone, so the theory of 9 hours and 11 hours are all false hood. Thank you
True, Addam spent time to give name to all the animals. This Jewish forgot to mention how the serpent could talk to eve. God not only curse man and woman with pain, but he also curses all creatures of the earth because of the serpent.
God's 1 day is a 1000 years in the book of Peter. If we convert 9 or 11 hours into that time line it might be correct.
To me, whether it was an 9 hours or 30 years doesn't change who God and Adam were in the story. Dont let time convince you whether the story is false or true. To God time is irrelevant, and only belongs to human insecurity and extinct dinosaurs. The story is true because it shows the level of Love that God had for Adam and his offspring. This Rabbi speaks from the beautiful depths of the Torah, many too scared to venture into because they unfortunately trust in Man more than God.
The only issue I have with this story is if Adam felt it was right why did he feel shame when He ate the fruit he also tried to hide he knew he was wrong he also tried to cover his self due to the knowledge of nakedness ect
@@YAWNFILMZ Adam didn't feel it (eating the fruit) was right, in fact it was probably the first time in his young life where he felt bad about something. The story is showing how God was wanting this reaction in His creations eventually. What we should understand is that although Adam was ashamed of being naked in front of Gods who he respected, it doesn't mean he was trying to hide his error from God. He answered God truthfully and honestly. He hid because of nakedness, where we are to believe clothing was understood as a moral obligation and courtesy since the beginning. God appeared to Adam, who was still without sin, to inquire the proceedings. In my opinion and close read, the punishments were more like warnings God gave as the natural consequence to the man and woman. The only curse was to the snake, who knew right from wrong already and chose wrong. The rest needed to learn to appreciate life by experiencing death and pain.
This sounds like one of the Gnostic Gospels. Is Gnosticism still such a part of Judaism? I honestly thought that had long since fallen out of vogue, so to speak, among Jewish philosophers long ago.
My whole life I have been told that it is Eve’s fault for the downfall of man. Today, I understand that Eve understood the assignment from God. Thank you so much

@@edsmith5848 exactly he left a lot of things out
This is the first time I've heard a teacher point out that Adam lied and was at fault for eating from the tree. It's usually always just pinned on Eve the temptress.
I was always taught that Adam was held responsible. It’s actually clearly stated in the Bible.
Eve ate first but the Bible says she turned and gave to her husband who was with her. At no time did he ever stop her. As a matter of fact, they did not know they were naked until he ate. Is it possible if Adam had assumed his role as the rightful spiritual leader and stopped his wife or just did not eat himself, would things have turned out different?
That's why is called "Adam's apple" 🤔... and technically God never told eve not to eat of the tree... he only told adam
@@williamvan8164 well here’s the thing. He lied once he ate the fruit. So, when you eat the fruit you have the knowledge. So at the time of his lie, Adam HAD ALREADY known the right thing to do. Which was be honest. But he CONSCIOUSLY decided to lie. He was responsible.
So it wasn’t so much as tho him innocently eating the fruit,
But once he already had the knowledge, he decided to not be honest, consciously.
The bigger question to ask is why would an all knowing Creator put a tree "he" did not want to be eaten from in front of beings he knew good and well would eat from it?
That would be much like putting a tray of goodies in front of two year olds and telling them not to eat the goodies when you already know they will. Then getting angry and upset because they did what you already knew they would do.
Isn't our lives much like this tree of knowledge of "good and evil"? We make certain choices and those choices have certain outcomes. The question now is, do we learn from those choices or do we keep repeating the same choices and expecting different results, I've done a good bit of that myself.
Better yet how can I condemn anyone for their poor choices when I've made plenty of my own? What would our world look like if we showed the mercy we want for ourselves to others, or give out the forgiveness we want to be bestowed upon us to others?
I think we are missing the point of the Rabbis metaphor, what can we collectively do to make this world we all live in a better place for us all? To be honest saying that's just how it is, or it's a corrupt world, isn't getting the job done. Debates on the fine points of our beliefs isn't accomplishing the task either. We live in a world of Cause and Effect we all know this but just don't believe it, if we mind the Cause, or what we are putting out, the effect will take care of itself. Why not put out love and forgiveness something we all want for ourselves.

2) does this version of the genesis have a verifiable source - or is it just a convenient, reimagining?
3) God is not a God of confusion, [1 Corinthians 14:33] its a nice story though
Thank you Rabbi. This version of the 'sin' of Adam & Eve is much comforting than I was brought to believe as a Catholic. It focuses us more to the task we are given than our failure.
I too am Catholic and this meaning actually made me cry and look at it in a whole new light.
easy to answer adam and eve only 10hrs in and do not know about death or life even,if they never ate from the tree we would never be talking about this
A step down is innocent and God needed Eve to disobey to inhabit the earth?
This is not God if he needed. This is the serpent.
If they didn't eat from the tree we could be sitting here today listening to firsthand accounts from Adam and Eve telling us what life was like back in the day. The yearly family reunions would be way too large to enjoy tho!

No other religious leader stated anything similar to John 14:6.
@@EddieFox John is New testament.
In Kabbalah, the Sephirot are the ten emanations or aspects of the divine that serve as a framework for understanding the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the spiritual realms. Each Sephirah represents a particular attribute or quality of the divine, and together they form a dynamic system of spiritual and cosmological principles.
When considering the story of Adam and Eve from a Kabbalistic perspective, the Sephirot can offer insights into the spiritual dynamics at play:
Adam: In Kabbalah, Adam represents the archetypal human being and is often associated with the Sephirah of Tiferet. Tiferet, located in the center of the Sephirotic tree, represents harmony, beauty, and balance. Adam's role is to harmonize and integrate the qualities of the other Sephirot within himself, reflecting the divine image.
Eve: Eve is traditionally associated with the Sephirah of Malkhut, which represents the realm of the physical and material world. Malkhut is also associated with receptivity and the capacity to manifest divine energies. Eve's connection to Malkhut suggests her embodiment of the earthly aspects of creation and her role in bringing forth physical life.
Interaction of Sephirot: The story of Adam and Eve can be understood as a reflection of the interaction and dynamics between the Sephirot. For example, the temptation and fall of Eve can be seen as an imbalance or distortion in the Sephirotic flow. This imbalance is rectified through the process of tikkun, the restoration of harmony and divine order within the Sephirotic structure.
It's important to note that Kabbalistic interpretations of biblical stories, including Adam and Eve, can vary among different Kabbalistic schools and scholars. The above explanations provide a general framework, but specific interpretations and elaborations may differ.
Kabbalistic teachings delve deep into the nature of existence and the divine, providing intricate metaphysical and spiritual insights. Exploring the Sephirot and their connections to biblical narratives can be a rich and profound journey within the framework of Kabbalah.

The story I read is different than what you told. Adam was much older than 9 hours old when Eve was created. When God explained the tree of knowledge to Adam, Eve wasn't created yet. In fact, I have also read about Lilith. Lilith was Adams first partner and was created from the clay just as Adam was. According to this story, Lilith was told about the tree at the same time as Adam. Eve was later created from a rib of Adam. Your story is quite different than what I have read in print. Where did you read this story? Your timeline and story are not found anywhere that I looked
I'm intrigued to ask a few questions. One, how do historians know how many hours it was between the creation of man and the commandment to not eat the fruit of the tree and then to the win itself? And if that timeline is true, with it being that Adam was created on the sixth day, did God not rest until after the fall? I appreciate your time and thank you!
