Roasted Lamb - The Video Bible Dictionary

Disclaimer: This is our first run at the Video Bible Dictionary, we'd love your feedback, so please leave a comment.
Lamb is my favourite meat to eat, so I was only too happy to be in front of the camera for this video. The uncooked leg of lamp was a little 'icky', which is why I'm a little reluctant to pick it up in the video. This video came at the end of a brutal days filming in incredibly heat so once the camera was turned off, Richie and myself tucked in and had ourselves a bit of a well earned feast! This was filmed on location in Israel.

"Roasted Lamb.
A lamb is a young sheep in its first year of life.
A lamb usually weighs between 2 and 5 kilograms when it is born.
A lamb stands on four legs. It has thick, tight wool that is very soft.
The colour of its wool can be black, brown or white.
A lamb starts off drinking milk from it’s mother, but when a bit older it eats grass.
It lives on grassy flat land or mountain areas.
A person who cares for a lamb is called a shepherd.
A shepherd protects their lambs.
Sometimes people cut off the lamb’s wool, they kill the lamb and then cook the flesh of the whole lamb for food.
A person can cook it with fire until the flesh is dark and its outer layer is dry.
People call this meat roasted lamb.
People cook lamb like this to eat on important or holy days, such as the Passover.
The Feast of the Passover is an important meal, Jewish people remember and celebrate God rescuing their ancestors out of Egypt.

What is the Video Bible Dictionary?
How do you explain what a desert wilderness is to someone who’s only ever lived in a jungle? Or how can a person understand what a winnowing fork is when they’ve never seen one?
The Video Bible Dictionary is an ambitious project to film items, objects and places mentioned in the Bible which will be collated into a single resource (a dictionary of sorts) to help people understand and read the Bible; basically what the things and places in the Bible really look like.
Who’s it for?
The primary audience is for Oral Preference Learners, however everyone and anyone will benefit from a more literal understanding of actual places and items from the Bible.
What’s an Oral Preference Learner?
A person who prefers to listen, learn and pass on information orally rather than through reading (most of us, right?). This ‘person’ finds context critical in understanding the world around them, hence every video in the Video Bible Dictionary will show the item, object and place in context of a person.
By way of an example; do you remember those old school textbooks which showed a silhouette of a dinosaur with a silhouette of a person standing next to them? It gave you an understanding of how big the dinosaur was compared to a person, right? This is the same thing.
Why do this?
The Video Bible Dictionary is part of a larger project to provide a resource to support the local church around the world as they teach and share Jesus with those who have yet to hear about Him.
Who do you work for?
This project is being produced by SRV in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators and ETEN (short for ‘Every Tribe Every Nation’).
Who am I?
My name is Mark Murfitt, I live in the UK and it’s my privilege to produce and direct these videos as well as to oversee the script writing and media production for this project.
Is something like this really necessary?
Absolutely.
For many people, in both developed and developing countries, much of what we’re videoing isn’t known, understood or believed to actually be real.
