Great video. It shows the importance of reading the text in the original language, and letting it speak for itself, without imposing our later preconceived notions of what we think it should say based on current theological desires, or attempting to harmonize conflicting passages
Great presentation as always gents. I look forward to these videos. Not sold on the penis bone idea. I can't see how ancient people, with limited science, would know such a thing. Dr Joel Baden gives a better explanation IMO. He talks about how ancient people knew that in order to reproduce, you needed two humans, two animals etc. But from the world around them, they also knew that if you wanted a new plant, you take a clipping from an existing plant. So if you start one creation account with only a single human, you get a second human by taking a "clipping" from the first one. And the rib is the clipping. In my layperson's opinion, total genius (both Dr Baden and the authors of Genesis).
If the kingdom where God resides is within us, this being biblical, doesnt this stand to reason that God since the very beginning has been taking all the sins of mankind? Curious...
Sorry to be so blunt. When God Created Adam, was he man? With gen........like man ? If so....taking a partner from the animal world would not make sense.
One says God says, "Let us make man in our image," a straight-up reference to the divine council and the other one doesn't. I'm not a monotheist at all
*Parade of animals* Imagine thinking that he presented a lion as a potential partner, and when Adam says “No, I don’t want it be shredded,” also present a tiger. Yahweh seems to be a moron. Also, this is very sexist, as if Eve was was barely (pun enjoyed) any different from other animals.

Right?
Good question, really long possible answer that I will try and keep short. First thing we have to deal with is the word קסת which (based on my quick searching of the text so open to corrections) only appears 3 times and all of those are in Ezekiel (9:2-3, 11). You included the definition "inkhorn," HALOT provides the more general "scribe's equipment, scribe's palette." Given the rarity of the word and the tight distributions of its use, giving a good/robust definition is hard to do. While it is certainly possible that the hand(s) responsible for the Greek translation chose to make a change in association when they translated the phrase קסת הספר, "writing case," as ζώνη σαπφείρου, "sapphire belt," they could also have just been confused about what to do with the word קסת as they use ζώνη for each appearance. The other wrinkle to deal with in this is how הספר becomes σαπφείρου. This one may be understandable as a mishearing or misreading of the text as ספר is very close to ספיר, "sapphire, lapis lazuli." An additional thing worth noting is that ספיר does appear two other places in Ezekiel (1:26, 10:1) where it is correctly translated in the Greek. Long-winded answer to say could they have done it iintentionally? Possibly. But I am inclined here to think the change from קסת הספר to ζώνη σαπφείρου may have just been the result of confusion/mishearing/etc. If I was to propose a hypothetical situation/explanation it would be this: maybe the scribe(s) heard/saw a word they didn't know what to do with (קסת) and heard/saw a word they thought they was sapphire (ספר, sapphire being ספיר) and then based on the immediate context of the passage (describing a "man clothed in linen" 9:2) they made a guess and chose another garment word (ζώνη) to go with the previous garment language. I would be interested to see what others have argued about this. -JJ
@@xkv8r The Peshitta verse is interesting, as it translates to sapphire as well. It seems like the corruption must have taken place with the scribe who translated from the Hebrew. It can't be just a mistranslation from the Hebrew to the Greek, as the Hebrew "messaging motif" was almost certainly derived from the Poem of Erra.
You're right, the messaging motif is certainly an important part of this. It feels like a spot where overlapping interests could be at play as we have not just the messaging concern, but the connection with sapphire and the divine realm (Ex 24:10, also seen in 1 Enoch 18:8 and Tob 13:16), and connections with sapphire and clothing (the high priest's ephod in Ex 28:18, 39:11). I think you are on to an interesting question here. -JJ
@@xkv8r I also think it's interesting that שפל occurs eight times in Ezekiel and the same root occurs 5 times in the Poem of Erra. The discussion of the high trees brought low and the low tree made high also has a parallel in Erra , where the Mes tree is removed from its place. Interesting, this Mes tree is associated with another word that is only in Ezekiel, the word for 'electrum/amber.' The connections between Erra and Ezekiel have been known for a long time, but I do find it interesting that it ultimately resulted in an extra sapphire in the Septuagint, which the scribes must have known. There were scribes alive at the time of the writing of the Christian canon who could read Old Syriac, Hebrew, and Cuneiform. It would be weird if their scholarly community didn't know these things.
