The genuine horror in the serpent when he screamed
*”MY JORDANS”*
somebody who hasnt watched the video yet would be so confused
This part was HILARIOUS!! 😂😂
Lol
666 likes rn lol
😂😂😂😂
that was veerry personal
I felt it in my soul when the serpent said "MY JORDANS" The voice acting was on point
My favorite part
Fun fact: it’s widely agreed that the serpent was satan who possessed a near by snake
That and the “ITS JUST A PRANK” were so brilliant XDXD
I heard theories that the serpent used to be a salamander but then lost its legs to become a serpent (or a wyrm?)
@@joshuabautch8936
In the Christian tradition yes; even in current English translations of Genesis, there's still no indication that the talking serpent is anything other than, the figure of Satan is very much not A Thing within the Tanakh for the most part, he evolved over several centuries.
The sheer horror and agony in the "MY JORDANS!" line was masterful 😂
MY JORDANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was so evil😭 God can be real petty sometimes

“Yes Adam? Where are you Adam?”
It’s the “MY JORDANS” and the “THIS IS A PRANK” for me 👁👄👁
Agreed 2:42 2:41 2:43
- The angel's true panic in their voice was felt, and I appreciate the scream.
- The jordans bit with the snake was hilarious
- I loved the smooth animation at the end !! I wish we could get all myths to look like this, shame it's probably a butt load of work
Loved this one Jake! Keep up the amazing work.
Same and, omg I LOVED the angels panic and the “MY JORDANS” especially the my jordans bit lol
MY JORDANS - 👟
As a Jew, I really enjoyed this. Especially the end where Joseph interacts with his brothers in Egypt because that was my Torah portion that I studied when I was twelve and read for my bar mitzvah just after my 13th birthday. I actually still remember my entire first and fourth Aliyot all this time later.
I enjoyed 11:30 when he stole his brother blessing ... explains alot ... sure does explain ALOT 😂
An atheist Jew, right? Asking as an atheist Catholic
In my opinion this is the most heart touching part of he Torah
@@joseguillen2813tf is atheist Catholic
Denounce the Talmud
The My Jordans bit gets me every time. Sometimes throughout my day I remember it and I can't help but laugh to myself.
As an orthodox Jew, who learns the bible from very young age, I can tell the most of this video was very accurate, and all of that video was funny. Good work of you, as always.
Bible?
@@gustavosauro1882 yup
Same fun seeing all the Jews here
gas.
Torah, but I second it.
I remember going over to my friends house in high school and seeing a book on his desk called “Christian action bible”
I opened it and it was literally just the Bible as a comic. It was pretty cool honestly
I actually had the exact same experience
Let me guess they skipped genesis 38
I have that
If anyone wishes to read the Bible there is also a manga version of it.
Yo I have a copy
'' IT'S JUST A PRANK" The way he screamed it.
rebbeca's nose ring was a great touch
Honestly surprised you didn't include the bit where, after the flood, Noah got drunk, got nude, and passed out in his bed, so his sons quickly covered him up before they could see anything... except for his youngest, who saw EVERYTHING and got his own firstborn cursed to forever be a servant for it.
He accidentally walked in on his dad, but the implication is that he told his brothers about it because he thought it was funny. Shem and Japheth obviously didn't think so, as they went to cover their dad's shame without looking.
omg
As a Jew, these kinds of stories are one of the reasons I love just reading the Torah sometimes.
for me, him getting drunk explains why this lineage had so many problems over the generations. it is like a butterfly effect as if the wine was cursed and his entire family was cursed to be drunk all the time
"LOL DAD'S NAKED" And for that reason black people endured slavery for hundreds of years according to some christians@@videogollumer
That multi language sketch was just amazing. 10/10
I imagine someone just holding up a google translator somewhere in the background trying to figure that out
When The Angel screamed: it's just a prank! had me in tear😂
Well, I don't think it's exactly accurate, cause the son Abraham was going to sacrifice was going along with the plan, fully ready to die, maybe all the drama would make it even more funny when the anticlimax happens

As a jewish person and native Hebrew speaker who took bible analysis classes on the book of Genesis, I think you portrayed it very well and also got some of the intricacies of the book that give it a lot more dimension and symbolism. Awesome video!
I love how you can visibly see the slow greying of the characters hair as time passes
This could’ve been really controversial, but as a Christian I’ll tell you, you covered this really well and thoughtfully, it’s funny, educational and still respectful of Christianity. Can’t wait for more of this!
This video about Christian’s and not anything else?
@@Chop7264I don’t think he means that only christians believe in the Bible, but as one he can verify that what is in the video as truthful.
Funny jokes can help with education just like my 6th grade history teacher.
I agree
You watch this and still believe lol
So glad you're doing Christian stories now. As an ADHD--riddled Christian, it's difficult to read through hundreds of pages instead of a neat little lore video.
Same
you better get those 40 generations of genealogy down though!! it's gonna be on the test!!
As someone who also has ADHD, I can only agree. Even though I already knew all of this from elementary school, it was a good recap (I'm not Christian though).
Yea right… Christian
… nice pfp
I just finished doing the musical of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat at my school so the part where u talk about Joseph really brought me back

My dad is a pastor and he approved this as good
I actually wanted to elaborate on this his only “ problem “ was that you combines the 2 creation story’s but he’s not too mad
This is probably the most accurate and entertaining retelling of Genesis ever
9:17 When I tell you I have never seen this man do voice acting THIS well like ya it’s just a scream but it’s not easy doing screams like he perfected the tones of terror. Also I’m so happy he finally decided to do the Bible it’s gonna be so good
As someone who speaks Hebrew its only now clear to me how everyone's names in the bible lost their meaning in translation. Pretty much every name in the bible has a meaning, like you said isaac is יצחק which is "will laugh" cause sarah laughed when she was told she would have a baby. Both sarai (שרי) and abram (אברם) changed their names to show their faith by adding gods letter ה to their name, turning into שרה and אברהם. Esau is עשו which resembles grass so it may be because he came with a full head of hair out of the womb, and עשו is either "ready" cause he came out all grown or "hairy". Jacob is יעקב which either means "will follow" or "by the heel" because jacob came out of the womb holding Esau's heel, following him. Ishmael's name ישמעאל is just the words for "god will hear" (ישמע-אל) because god heard Hagar's prayers and calls for help. Hagar's name הגר is either related to the word immigrant, or the word harbor (as in harbor or house a baby). Adam means human in Hebrew (אדם) and Eve is Hava (חווה) and means farm / barn for some reason.
Wouldn't Adam come from the word אדמה?
@@crowspears3265 oh shit yeah thats really plausible good one
hava comes from the word hai meaning life, cause she was the mother of all living. it says so in the passuk i think
All the baby name websites I use for thinking of Character names for stories says Adam means "red earth/soil" like what god made him out of and there is some linguistic connection between Adamah's various meanings Man, Blood, and red earth/soil/ochre but they aren't sure which meaning came first or how they they evolved into the other meanings
@@clarehidalgoAdam literally described in the text that he is named Adam because he came from the dirt (adama ) and will return to it when he die
The authors who wrote the story of the tower of babel truly have never really witnessed the power of spite that humans possess
It's literally god, and god definitively did
4:19 so Adam, the first human, was his great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandpa.
But you can say that for everyone, except more greats
WE ARE ALL THE AFTERMATH OF INSEST
Not necessarily; we know the genealogy skips unimportant people due to Abraham and Jesus
Just want to say, I loved this so much. As a Christian, I don't see any really "entertaining" videos about the bible, which makes me love this channel 10x more when I find my religion in play. Many people just read the Bible verbatim so it isn't as entertaining as this.
Pretty much the only attempt I can think of to tell Bible stories and be funny is Veggietales; and even then, about half of the adaptations of Biblical stories in the show are retold in different environments with the same basic story.
I highly recommend the RUclips channel ‘the bible project’ that Also covers bible stories in animation.

Being someone who has trouble with comprehension in reading, but wants to read the Bible more and get to know the things in it, I thought this was a perfect video covering the book of Genesis, and the humor made it really good to watch too.

I tried once to read bible but tale of two sister who decided to have kids with their father because there wasn't any man nearby was too much. You managed to make bible pretty entertaining.
in their defense their fiances had just been killed with everyone in Sodom and it was common in that time for cousins to be married to cousins.
Yeah, you know. You kind of need the discusting bits if you're trying to tell people not to do the disgusting bits.
Like, front to back its a "how not to get rekt" manual. Its gonna be gritty in places.

As a catholic, this is very accurate
I am Catholic, he seems to be missing some important details, (for example Ishmal was heavily implied to being rough with Issac which is why they were sent away, God clearly told that the heirs were to come from Sarah, but she didn’t believe him and made Adam do it with Hagar etc) but anyone who comes here for details will surely be disappointed.

I like the detail of most of the characters being brown or tan because the Bible was written in the Middle East, but Adam and Eve were depicted as a bit darker because the human race anthropologically originated in Ethiopia. As someone who grew up on these stories, I really like all the extra detail and research that goes into these. Can't wait for Exodus.
According to Scienctist that don't believe in bible and have their own agenda, "Originated in Ethiopia"
Chapter 2 of Book of Genesis lists the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as two of the four rivers that watered the Garden of Eden. So, either the garden was large enough to stretched from there to Ethiopia, or Anthropology is wrong.
@@videogollumer Or the bible could be wrong, that's also an option.
Besides, the garden of Eden has a fourth river running through ethiopia (where there's gold and the crystal onyx...)
@@Makaneek5060 There were matres lectiones though, and the word was spelled KWŠ, so it could only be Cush...
@formaldehyde-p We often imprint our own ideals and standards on things from the past. Turns out a large part of recent Christian history was dominated by whites, so that's the "popular" retelling. Just like Jesus being white when, obviously, he'd be Jewish like his family and community. Nobody in the Bible goes "and weirdly, Jesus specifically looked completely different from us."
It's all about perspective.
I have been NEEDING this. It's also hilarious because a few days ago, I thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if Jake covered stories from the Bible" 💀
I only watched it cause I had nothing to do and bored
As someone whos never read the bible idk if you plan to make more of these but this approach is really enjoyable
You totally should read it
Ok it bothers me. They sinned by eating the fruit of knowledge of good and evil? How would they know wrong from right without eating that fruit? Seems kinda circular to me.
They didn't know they just follow gods order to don't eat it but the servant decides them and they eat it

Mmmmm. Shouldn’t have said that.
History? Dont you mean like religion class or something?
fair
Diddo
I do not understand
A fun fact about Jacob’s name (from a guy who’s native language is Hebrew). In Hebrew his name “Yaakov” (יעקוב) and that sounds like the Hebrew word for heel (akev - עקב). In the story, Jacob held Esau’s heel while they got born.
If he'd try explaining every pun in the Bible...
Well, The sons of convenient were name, hot and pretty (or "will open")...
Well that and a “heel grabber” is another term for a trickster, which Jacob absolutely is.
Which only stands to illustrate what a dung load the entire book is!
This is extremely well done. I love both the animation and the storytelling style, very entertaining!

It's not "almost" the same story, the start of all 3 main Monotheistic religions is the Old Testament, which is pretty much all of the Jewish book, then Christianity and Islam added their own stories based on who they believed was the Messiah.

1:54 pov the first time you take acid 😂
7:35 the Isaac joke is in hebrew but basically in hebrew Isaac's name is יצחק(pronounced itshak) and in hebrew this word means "will laugh" (in hebrew adjectives are diffrent than in english) and it's supposed to be funny because Abraham and Sara laughed when god said they will have a child even though they are very old.
also "he laughs" in hebrew is צוחק pronounced tsohek.

I wish this video existed back when I was a christian.
