    To be fair, these were originally old oral tales before they got written up in the Bible. The genealogies were probably there so anyone in the audience could pop out and use the latrines without missing anything important. (Same with the lists of ships in The Iliad.)

    • @oscargordon
      @oscargordon 4 года назад +16

      My college Greek literature professor explained it this way. Homer was writing about 400 years after the Trojan war, just as Genesis was written a thousand years after the supposed events. The family names that Homer lists for the ships would have been the names of prominent families at his time. His audience would then be proud to know that their ancestors fought in the battle. You've got to hand it to the creative names in Genesis because by New Testament times all men were one of about 10 names and 90 percent of the women were Mary with a couple of Salome thrown in for good measure.

      Genesis 38 definitely breaks the narrative flow since it interrupts the Joseph cycle by focusing on Judah. Personally I believe chapter 38 was a later addition to the book, something that written between chapters 37 & 38 because the author of the text couldn't find a proper place for it.

    As a very conservative Christian, I have been following this from the beginning. It is a common jest that the greatest difficulties while reading the Bible are lists of genealogies, lists of offerings, other lists, and the books of Leviticus (the enumeration of thr offerings, the dietary restrictions, and other sundry laws regarding Jewish life) and Deuteronomy (a recitation of the various laws without a recitation of the offerings).
    Personally, I believe this list might exist to give context to Numbers 20:14. If Edom were a newly reconstituted kingdom the prior having collapsed 50-100 years prior, it could explain why they were reluctant to allow Israel to cross their lands but did not attack them as the Ammorites did.

    Amalek (5 minutes mark) is kinda worth remembering and noting here in terms of the Amalekites who become the Israelite's worst enemies. Some Jewish people associate Amalek with atheism as a rejection of / enemies to God. Apparently the Amalekites attacked and nearly destroyed the israelite son their wanderings in tehdesert and the Israelites were then commanded to massacre them. Wikipedia has a good bit of extar info that isn't in the Christian Bible (but may be inthe Torah /Talmud?) :
    "According to a midrash, Amalek's mother Timna was a princess who had tried to convert to Judaism but had been rejected by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. She replied she would rather be a handmaiden to the dregs of this nation then be the mistress of another Nation; to punish the Patriarchs for the affront they had made her, she was made the mother of Amalek which would cause Israel much distress.[24][25]
    According to the Midrash, the Amalekites were sorcerers who could transform themselves to resemble animals, in order to avoid capture. Thus, in 1 Samuel 15:3, it was considered necessary to destroy the livestock in order to destroy Amalek.[26]
    In Judaism, the Amalekites came to represent the archetypal enemy of the Jews. In Jewish folklore the Amalekites are considered to be the symbol of evil.
    Nur Masalha, Elliot Horowitz and Josef Stern suggest that Amalekites have come to represent an "eternally irreconcilable enemy" that wants to murder Jews, and that Jews in post-biblical times sometimes associate contemporary enemies with Haman or Amalekites, and that some Jews believe that pre-emptive violence is acceptable against such enemies.[27] Groups identified with Amalek include the Romans, Nazis, Stalinists, and bellicose Iranian leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.[28]
    More metaphorically, to some Hasidic rabbis (particularly the Baal Shem Tov), Amalek represents atheism or the rejection of God.
    During the Purim festival, the Book of Esther is read in the commemoration of the saving of the Jewish people from Haman (considered to be an Amalekite) who leads a plot to kill the Jews. On the basis of Exodus 17:14, where the Lord promised to "blot out the name" of Amalek, it is customary for the audience to make noise and shout whenever "Haman" is mentioned, in order to desecrate his name. .." -Wikipedia Amalek page.
