Thank you so very much for the primer on the prophets. I once worked on a massive Hohokam (pre-historic Native American) village in Phoenix, Az. It was located beneath a neighborhood in the middle of Phoenix. History can be found in the strangest of places.
It's so refreshing to hear an Orthodox rav who discusses literary and historical details with such an open mind. If I had teachers like you in yeshiva, it would have saved me a lot of difficulty 😉 I had so many questions, only to find out later that rabbis like R Yaakov Emden an others had asked the same things centuries before, but their books are not encouraged in the "frum" world. Now, I've studied middle eastern history, can read many of the ancient scripts, and have a much clearer picture of what really happened back then.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD I am not a jew, but I have many friends that are jews, and they have helped me very much during the last 15 years, and so I got curious on these subjects. These videos are great to better understand my friends, and the biblical texts that are the basis of western culture. Congratulations Mr. Abramson for your work!!!
12:10 "Factual terms that we understand today" - surely such a phrase belongs in the pre-Twittersphere era and, even then, within a smaller circle of people and government than we remember. Oh for those days! An odd pattern being that the most literalist devotees of religion are often the most free with facts, data, and truth in the real world
The script reminds me of Gregorian chant-style notes particularly in the upper portions of the letters in the Raphael painting. Gregorian chant is a relative of the original early period synagogue music.

Fascinating discovery from under a parking lot! A stamp "given of the king" indeed! I find it remarkable Josiah's zeal to reform came hearing directly from the Book as opposed to hearing from a prophet. Although both mediums were authorized by God, still the written Word is what incited real change! If only Jeremiah had a king like Josiah willing to listen to God's words rather than imitation prophets that God never sent!
Looks like there could be an entire historiography lesson on depictions of Hebrew text in artworks produced by non-Hebrew speakers... wondering if those artists did not know who to consult or if no one came forward to consult for fear of persecution, such were those times.
Isaiah 6:5-7 (NIV) [5] “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.” [6] Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. [7] With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
Artifacts have been found all over the world Israeli had an international commercial exploratory empire. It’s commonly referred to as Phoenicia. Started as an alliance with David and Hyram of Tyre.continued through Solomon into the divided kingdom. There have been artifacts found all over the US, in diverse part of Australia, Wes coast and east coast , in different parts of south America and there are cultural remnants throughout Polynesia. And I’m just scratching the surface. See Dr Cyrus Gordon and Dr Barry Fells.
Bravo professor. Looking forward to the next one. I agree with you about disregarding the bible as a historical book. Most writing at that time were just grand claims of victories by Kings claiming to be a God. The biblical writings are definitely more. Where else will you find a historical source that includes defeats and suffering, not just the victories and prosperity.
Glad you liked it. I'm not sure I agree with "disregarding the Bible as a historical book," would prefer something like "understanding that the principal intent of the Bible is religious rather than historical," but your point is well taken.

I mentioned this to you a few times Professor about the 'they' or 'we', but now you double whammy yourself, as you use the anachronism of 'Jews', for the 'Ancient Israelites' or whatever the correct term is, but you don't do it for the purpose of saying 'we', think in Jewish schools where we teach kids about 'ancient Jews' the purpose is that they are us, not a they, so you double whammy yourself this time.
You have that right,to teach about only the Jewish people,But,they weren't the only people on the planet.Judah had 11 other Brothers 11,and when you add Benyamin,Then why only Him? Do you not care for the others? That they to languish,and are in deep Pain as being left out? Just wondering why.
The Internet is a very big place. I am sure you can find the information you seek, or at least some sites that support your intellectual proclivities. I will stick to discussing evidence-based Jewish history, thanks.
He knows, trust He knows.there is No such people of Israel that is called jews.he Keeps saying Yahudah but just like the Christians,add another name All the while calling them by their Correct Name.
If you are unaware that Judah was of a brownish Color.Why use the True pictures,Which have them also with Locks? I heard on a discussion that you had with two Brothers of Color who are in Judaism.were you make the claim,the Word ruddy meant probably David had red hair! I fell off my chair Sir.when we all Know Now that the word was put there to confuse, confound,and lie ruddy is Brownish the red heifer is a brown Cow were we get brown Milk from. Lol
@ Mensch Man, upon viewing the ancient synagogues perplexed me further due to the Roman influences on tile deco in the synagogues.
