Well, okay, 603, because the 613 contains the Decalogue, but still. I don't recall whether I've ever real ALL of Leviticus, but one can imagine it's about as interesting as your average legal document. What I SHOULD do is to read the Hammurabi Code and see how much of Leviticus is taken from that, because that was definitely an influential legal document of its time, and it's very equal...except between free and slave. It's where we get "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" from, and I wonder how similar the Leviticus Law is to it.

I still like The Bible Game. To play, you open a bible to a random page, do everything that is done by or commanded by god on that page. The last person to go to prison wins.
A dilemma for the “god fearing “ judges out there and a bonanza for defense attorneys… “Yer ronner, my client was doing as god himself commanded in the Buybull. Here’s the proof in this buybull he just swore an oath upon!”

I wonder what is the point of all this! The people who should be opening their eyes about the true nature of this book are not here. The Bible is a handbook on tribalism and injustice. It even includes examples of lying to get benefits. Not to mention animal cruelty. The book should be considered inappropriate for children!
@@harveywabbit9541 Yes, of course there is😂. Afterall, the biblical writings and narratives were initially concocted, and then biblical books selected and assembled by homosapiens of the male pursuasion.
Someone did come up with the best Bible warning label, I think it covers everything quite well: WARNING: This book is a work of fiction and is not meant to be taken literally. CONTENT ADVISORY: Contains verses advocating suicide, bestiality, incest, sadomasochism, rape, murder, morbid violence, voyeurism, revenge, lawlessness, human rights violations and atrocities. EXPOSURE WARNING: Exposure to contents for long periods of time during formative years in children may cause delusions, hallucinations, decreased cognitive and objective reasoning abilities, and in extreme cases, pathological disorders, hatred, bigotry and violence including but not limited to fanaticism, murder and genocide.
That's why the bible was forbidden to be translated ... Only the initiated could know the truth. We, the common people, were not intelligent enough to be able to "understand" the pious message of this "holy crap" (I believe this expression originated there). LOL.
I find this series so interesting. Even, perhaps especially, the deadly dull parts where god goes into excruciating detail about what he wants. It compares so well with how he will spend a single sentence justifying genocide. Really gives you a sense of god's priorities.
Getting ready for Leviticus, I've never read it so I'm gonna make some bets going into it: - Yahweh forbids rape, incest, and child abuse - Yahweh explicitly forbids slavery - Yahweh clearly defines morality - Yahweh sets his precedent for abortion in a way that cannot be misinterpreted, and perfectly aligns with the beliefs of all Jews, Christians, and Muslims everywhere - Yahweh provides a third alternative so that abortion is not necessary, so that a woman isn't forced to birth a child but the child can be born another way, and will be cared for throughout its life - Yahweh explains why the world has so many thousands of different religions and competing gods, many of them for thousands of years before these events, and resolves the matter to everyone's satisfaction - Yahweh apologizes for his abhorrent, genocidal, narcissistic, megalomaniac behavior up until now and vows to make it up to his chosen people - Yahweh stops having a chosen people, cuz he knows and acknowledges that it's wrong - Yahweh stops committing horrific atrocities - Yahweh clears up all misconceptions, contradictions, and scientific inaccuracies up until now in his big book - Yahweh works tirelessly to lead by positive example and inspires people to resolve their differences with words, through peace and compromise, in an effort to be kind and considerate to one another because reciprocal altruism leads to greater collective safety and prosperity - Yahweh provides mental health counseling for the trauma he has put these people through, to prevent genetic inheritance of stress and anxiety for eons to come - Yahweh puts an end to control through worship and obedience under threats, to prevent millenia of forced adherence to dogma out of fear - Yahweh goes back in time to undo his mistakes before they ever happened, instead of setting up scenarios he knew would fail and punishing people for his own blunders - Yahweh provides a means so that future generations, millenia later, will have reliable evidence of his existence and instructions, and won't simply have to depend on the fractured, contradictory, nonsensical mythological fables and hand-copied propaganda from superstitious broze-age nomads and their manipulative ruling priest class - Yahweh explains all the secrets and mysteries of life, death, and the universe, answers all of everyone's deep questions, and explains why he built people to have such troubling questions in the first place - The author of this work identifies themselves, lists their qualifications, indicates the date and location of authorship, provides dates for all claimed events, cites all sources, and candidly discusses the reliability of said sources to help the reader reach an unbiased conclusion as to the reliability of the information Anyone else have any guesses?
@@alguno1010101 I think the best sermon I ever heard was the one about how if a man sits on the toilet to pee they must be transgendered. All because a few times God told people to kill "all that pisseth against the wall" (aka the men).
When he finishes reading the Bible, I'd like him to release an audiobook. I'd buy it. Maybe it would have... Extended notes and guest stars or something.
I read the whole book by 10. Mostly because I had nothing else to read from Friday night to Saturday night... I asked questions. I got physical and mentally abused. Sorry 😐 I was Rewarded. I got neglected and told "it doesn't matter if you're going to hell because you're a bastard (child who's parents weren't married) - you still have to follow the rules.
Read the whole bible from cover to cover and it will put you off Christianity for good and all. The honest truth is that the bible is a contradictory, muddled mess. I've read it all many times, including the New Testament in its original Greek, and I can safely say that there are many other works that are far more helpful and better guides to morality than the bible is anywhere near being. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more likely, to lead high moral standard lives than are religious people and history teaches us that Christianity is a main cause of wars. Adolf Hitler was a religious man, who believed God was on his side along with that of all the German people. He was brought up in a devout Austrian Roman Catholic family and was proud of his Austrian ancestry. German is the native language of Austria.
So God wanted somewhere to hide during the day and left this place during the night. Sounds like God was a vampire which would explain his lust for blood.
The twist ending is that this never really happened. It is all a myth that is being revealed in our Matrix timeline by historians. We are about to find out that the Hebrews wrote metaphorical scripts from folklore as they transitioned to monotheism. This perversion of reality by religion is playing out even as we live and breath today. Live well and prosper.
This is only the begining. Wait until Leviticus. spoiler alert it's dub to most Christians "Laws and Commandments" book. Basically In anime term. We are about to enter "Filler no jutsu" territory.😝😝😝 Wouldn't mind if Hemmat skip this book or split it to fewer episodes.
@@josephdanieljirehdimacali4418 literally anything will be better than IKEA instructions. Leviticus will have to try very hard in order to be worse than Exodus.
"Fortunately" quite a few "gems" are contradicted by other "gems". This makes it possible to find "good gems" to support whatever you want to do anyway.
Thank you for producing these up-loads for us all. I thought your entertaining and informative presentation of what is a mind-numbing book was very well done.
No wonder no Christians read the Bible... and the few who do have been so brain deadened by it that they just uncritically read it, half-awake. At this point I almost pity believers. Imagine how embarrassing it is to have this excruciating document as the book written by your all-knowing god. Thank you, Hemant, for making fun the world's most insane and boring book.
It’s tempting to pity them but they don’t deserve it in the least and would be furious if they found out anyway. Like any believer, it’s best to hold them accountable to secular laws and standards without pity.
When I was 12 I was taught that the tabernacle was a literal representation of heaven. The bronze altar represents Hell, the bronze basin the river of glass, etc, etc...
Beware of Leviticus. If you hated having to read genealogies or how the tabernacle is built, then you would most likely to hate Leviticus. It gets fucked up towards the end. It starts off boring (nothing happens other than get a “clean” animal to kill and throw in the alter for different types of offerings) then the horror gets bloody and messy. If you decide to read that horror show Hemant, then I wish you the best of luck. Oh and get ready for some anti-gay verses.
We should put a vote to skip ahead to Numbers. He'll probably have to go through Deuteronomy because Moses gets his goodbye soliloquy. Then Joshua for some good old Perfect Moral Guidance and Love genocide.
Sorry for late reply, but I agree. Hemant is going to get a load on Joshua when he gets there. It’s not the Promised Land of Milk and Honey the media portrays that book to be. All blood, violence and conquest.
@@NotSomeone68 Ah, Joshua, the Colonization Manual. The natives practiced human and even child sacrifice, so we're justified in killing all of them, including the children... in all honesty, how is practicing human sacrifice different from starting a holy war? in both cases you're killing people to please your god
@@alguno1010101 The real reason they initiated these attacks was to get rid of any potential competition. Also 'god" instructed moses and his desert tribe to attack these communities, kill every human and animal with sickle swords....spare only virgin girls who they then kidnapped, loot valuables such as silver and gold, and then burn the villages to the ground. There were plenty of ulterior motives for this mass genocide committed by Yahweh, moses and israeli desert tribe.
These are all the instructions Noah got to build a bloody great impossible ship to carry all of the worlds animals. ‘So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks’. That's it. You have to give credit to Noah, who had no previous ship building experience, for getting such a big complicated impossible job done with very very very vague building instructions from God. Just compare these instructions to the incredible detailed painful complicated pages and pages of instructions Moses received to build the Ark of the Covenant and how to display it.
What got left out is when Noah built and activated the dimensional transcendentalism generator, making the Ark not only infinitely bigger on the inside than the outside but also giving it a nearly inexhaustible supply of food, fresh water and power for heating, cooling, bilge pumping, navigation and maybe internet. You know, like the TARDIS.
@@harveywabbit9541 Well the Egyptians definitely had a tradition of boats and being 'saved from water' plus travelling to another world in one. But that could even stretch to ancient astronauts, with a little massaging of details. Or Atlantis, etc, etc.
I am shocked but pleased you sound like you plan to tackle Leviticus. My old pastor used to just say reading it was like cutting concrete with a butter knife. It is great though if you wanna know how to tear birds in half with your bare hands. Lol Thank you for this series! ❤️❤️❤️
@@wizolufa1452 Leviticus 13: 45-46 did give some good advice about how to not spread leprosy; cover the lower half of ones face, warn others that one is sick, and stay outside of camp. Wear a mask and social distance, in other words. Hmmm... bird blood cure? Is that where VooDoo came up with all those chicken torture ideas?
So many detailed instructions. Wasn't God worried about their free will? Why couldn't he have spent a few sentences on the evils of owning slaves or something? I love this series! Keep them coming! Thank you!
Why would god be against slavery, look at all the gold and fine linen the slaves had managed to save while in Egypt. Who would have guessed that slaves could have so much bling.
I'm beginning to think this "free will" idea was just created as an excuse. I don't see a single place where the bible says that free will is intentional or good.
That's what you're gonna think when you don't consider how long and how much difficulties the Israelites had suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. It's God's righteous judgment for the Egyptians' treatment of His people. You're just short-sighted and lacks understanding of Justice, my friend.
@@adastra5107 You lack an understanding of modern knowledge. They were NEVER slaves in Egypt. Moses never existed. No evidence in history, archeology, language, or anything to ever suggest that over 500,000 people ever wandered the desert for 40 years for a 2 week walk. The exodus NEVER happened! If, in the story, God hardened the pharaoh's heart to make him, against his free will, deny the slaves their freedom, then how is it "justice" to punish them? Especially if he sent the Israeli into slavery in the first place. Makes no sense. This God of the Bible is defined as super-omni. So why does he make so many regretful choices? You are the shortsighted one, my friend. You have to look beyond the Bible for the truth. It's just a collection of stories told to keep their tribe in line. They had thousands of years of edits. Additions and deletions have been going on from the conception until the present time. You couldn't even know which copy to follow to have his inspired word. How could you decide? What makes this "holy book" any different than any other? Made up by man to explain his world view. Geography of the people usually dictated the religious beliefs that they followed. You seem to see only through a Christian's eyes. Do you have an understanding of the other world faiths? You can't ALL be right, but you ALL can be wrong. Which is more likely? Stay safe & well!
Ah yes, more diys, I'm dying to hear about the fine linen and gold that god commands Moses to have his people to make, if only it could go on a bit longer, I'd prolly pull my hair out
I totally agree! This stuff is so damn boring! Who gives a shit about what kind of linen to use or what type of jewels you need? I can't get over the fact that this is supposedly a "holy book". But it is more of an IKEA instructional manual. And yet, people revere this book! It's mind-boggling.
@@harveywabbit9541 I love it ( even the porn part🤣). Just like Hemant’s critiques and quips help to minimize the mundane, depraved, and very disturbing aspects of these OT narratives.

When I was a senior in Catholic high school (1966), my religion teacher, a priest, told me that the Jews were given such detailed ritual instructions because, on the whole, they were unintelligent people who couldn't figure things out for themselves.
Yep. Wholly Fables: filler, nonsense plus smoke and mirrors. At least we didn't go to some building hand have some p-ass-tor blow the smoke up our butts.
Did you notice God commanded Moses to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance, wash them, dress them and anoint them rather than just have Moses tell them to do so? Almost like Aaron & sons weren't so crazy about the idea and had to be dragged in kicking and screaming?
'Ah.. finally, the tabernacle's finished... now we can relax...' "Nope ... more instructions from the Big G...' Murmur murmur, "And I did not know my mother that way!'
When I think of the glory of the lord, I think of god's back side. So when the glory of the lord settles on the tabernacle I get an image of him sitting on it like a toilet to shit all over everything.
It wasn't hard for the ancient,primitive,and ignorant people in the days of Moses-to wrap their heads around the idea that the God of the universe would appear in a form like unto a man to Moses-but than that he would show Moses his backside??? The God that is beyond space and time has a backside? Of course,they didn't know what a "universe"was or space/time.Which gives more credence to the idea that they made "god"in their own image-not the other way around.
This chapter shows that the Israelites were just worshiping an active volcano. A permanent cloud with fire in it at night? Obviously they're describing a column of steam venting from a volcano that's dimly lit by lava in the crater. Plus earlier Moses had to go up a mountain to "talk to God".
I wouldn't say "obviously", but that is actually a really good interpretation. Could very well be true, especially considering that everything in the bible was stolen from previous religions.
@@freedapeeple4049 I think it shows that there are multiple real world explanations. Personally I think a lot of Moses encounter with god could be chalked up to the lack of oxygen at high altitude, creating an old man to see things that weren't there...

To be fair, the only reason the 5 books were divided as they were, was because the parchment had reached its size limits. It wasn't intended to be separate books.
Oh, that is' not correct at all. Especialyl regarding Genesis and Exodus. Geneis and Exodus are dramatically different, in concept, tone and how they are written. It's obvous that Genesis and Exodus were written by different people. So they obvously weren't meant to be together. We'll see what happens when we get to Leviitcus
I listened to the exodus 40 video again. So appreciative for what you are doing in reading these chapters to us. It is important for those of us that grew up with this Bible indoctrination, and are now atheists, to be reminded of the extent of depravity and atrocities committed by this particular “loving god” character...It still is shocking, and it underscores the fraud and complete contradictions that this Bible and religion promotes. Also people who are still undecided and in the process of evaluating what their belief system has the potential of becoming or not. They especially need to hear this as well. Not very many of us are likely to open our Bible and read the OT...... (and besides I tossed mine out some time back). So I look forward to many chapters ahead. Thank you Hemant🙏
@Robert Hunt fun fact: Christianity is a very influential religion and it's doctrine is based on the bible, and there are people who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians, so by pointing out what is wrong with the bible you can counter those who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians.
People like yourself Robert, live in fantasy, and prefer it that way. So you would not have the intelligence or integrity to understand a thirst for truth and uncovering of the lies people like yourself continue to propagate.
@Robert Hunt Well honey pie, you are um........confusing. You are opting to turn a blind eye toward a big piece of the puzzle. If anything, bringing to light and critiquing these passages, should in fact bring some understanding to religious and non religious alike as to why nontheists reject the Bible and the abrahamic religions. The ones you mention, that theoretically become enemies based on someone exposing and analyzing their depraved scriptures and god character, were already enemies.... and issuing eternal hell condemnations. I was indoctrinated as a child. Later, being exposed to the REALITIES of religious doctrine, made me much more understanding and tolerant of those portions of the globe that reject the abrahamic religions... and ultimately I rejected them myself. Prior to that, I judged the non religious as I was taught to.
.... and people like you Robert, are aiding and abetting the continued propagation to future generations of this ignorant nefarious indoctrination, by means of desiring passive silence and acceptance of the unacceptable. Small changes over time will ultimately benefit society, families, women, children, animals, the earth, the environment, and the promotion of education, science, truth, and REALITY across the globe. Research societies where abrahamic religions no longer dominate. They are more healthy, intelligent and superior on many levels.

IKEA tabernacle? And what is the real meaning of "glory"? It sounds techy so Tsoukalis and Co might be right. Was this item they called god some kind of machine? Even a primitive steam engine would be mysterious to these people. And the Ark is a massive electrical capacitor. Rub it with fur and cloths and watch the sparks fly.
I don't know if it's already in the comments somewhere, but to my understanding the second set of tablets is in fact meant to be the same as the first . Exodus 20 never calls those the "Ten Commandments". Exodus 34 is the only place where a specific set of text is referred to as the "Ten Commandments". Deuteronomy also mentioned the Ten Commandments and appears to be describing the events that take place in Exodus 20, so the two books are in contradiction to each other and a lot of scholars believe these two different Decalogues to have two different origins that were never reconciled when both were put in the Hebrew Bible.
I enjoy Hemant’s consistent hang up involving the slaughter of a baby goat in their mother’s milk. Let’s just not slaughter animals at all … I’m all for that commandment!

Ok, so this god gives instructions to build a tabernacle to people that supposedly came out of Egypt, tell exactly how to build it and fails to design a structure that can last for centuries. But the Egyptian that supposedly had the wrong god built structures that still stands up today. This god need to go and study some engineering🤣

They weren’t very good at writing stories were they? The most epic myth of the bible ends in pages of instructions on how to make a tent. Where’s the plot twist, the big whodunnit reveal?

I had to read a bowdlerized version of the Bible in Catholic school. Most of those "juicy" bits had been excised. For example, the part where Lot had sex with his daughters was missing. The chapters sanctioning the slave trade were also missing.
I'm still mystified how their god conveyed all this complicated information, did he make instruction booklets or did he have a dictaphone? It all seems very unlikely.

- Yahweh explicitly forbids slavery
- Yahweh clearly defines morality
- Yahweh sets his precedent for abortion in a way that cannot be misinterpreted, and perfectly aligns with the beliefs of all Jews, Christians, and Muslims everywhere
- Yahweh provides a third alternative so that abortion is not necessary, so that a woman isn't forced to birth a child but the child can be born another way, and will be cared for throughout its life
- Yahweh explains why the world has so many thousands of different religions and competing gods, many of them for thousands of years before these events, and resolves the matter to everyone's satisfaction
- Yahweh apologizes for his abhorrent, genocidal, narcissistic, megalomaniac behavior up until now and vows to make it up to his chosen people
- Yahweh stops having a chosen people, cuz he knows and acknowledges that it's wrong
- Yahweh stops committing horrific atrocities
- Yahweh clears up all misconceptions, contradictions, and scientific inaccuracies up until now in his big book
- Yahweh works tirelessly to lead by positive example and inspires people to resolve their differences with words, through peace and compromise, in an effort to be kind and considerate to one another because reciprocal altruism leads to greater collective safety and prosperity
- Yahweh provides mental health counseling for the trauma he has put these people through, to prevent genetic inheritance of stress and anxiety for eons to come
- Yahweh puts an end to control through worship and obedience under threats, to prevent millenia of forced adherence to dogma out of fear
- Yahweh goes back in time to undo his mistakes before they ever happened, instead of setting up scenarios he knew would fail and punishing people for his own blunders
- Yahweh provides a means so that future generations, millenia later, will have reliable evidence of his existence and instructions, and won't simply have to depend on the fractured, contradictory, nonsensical mythological fables and hand-copied propaganda from superstitious broze-age nomads and their manipulative ruling priest class
- Yahweh explains all the secrets and mysteries of life, death, and the universe, answers all of everyone's deep questions, and explains why he built people to have such troubling questions in the first place
- The author of this work identifies themselves, lists their qualifications, indicates the date and location of authorship, provides dates for all claimed events, cites all sources, and candidly discusses the reliability of said sources to help the reader reach an unbiased conclusion as to the reliability of the information
Anyone else have any guesses?

Read the whole bible from cover to cover and it will put you off Christianity for good and all. The honest truth is that the bible is a contradictory, muddled mess. I've read it all many times, including the New Testament in its original Greek, and I can safely say that there are many other works that are far more helpful and better guides to morality than the bible is anywhere near being. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more likely, to lead high moral standard lives than are religious people and history teaches us that Christianity is a main cause of wars. Adolf Hitler was a religious man, who believed God was on his side along with that of all the German people. He was brought up in a devout Austrian Roman Catholic family and was proud of his Austrian ancestry. German is the native language of Austria.
If I hear the words tabernacle or burnt offerings ever again I might turn to violence.
Great work. Thank you for your immense effort. I'm exhausted.
Glad you have decided to keep suffering on our behalf, Hemant! Looking forward to Leviticus.
So God wanted somewhere to hide during the day and left this place during the night. Sounds like God was a vampire which would explain his lust for blood.
I'm thinking of starting a religion. I should study interior decoration.
That would make you over qualified.

The twist is that we are finally back to lore and it will take time until we ever see rules again, right? Right????!!!! RIGHT????!!!!!?
The twist ending is that this never really happened. It is all a myth that is being revealed in our Matrix timeline by historians.
We are about to find out that the Hebrews wrote metaphorical scripts from folklore as they transitioned to monotheism. This perversion of reality by religion is playing out even as we live and breath today.

Thank you for producing these up-loads for us all. I thought your entertaining and informative presentation of what is a mind-numbing book was very well done.
No wonder no Christians read the Bible... and the few who do have been so brain deadened by it that they just uncritically read it, half-awake. At this point I almost pity believers. Imagine how embarrassing it is to have this excruciating document as the book written by your all-knowing god.
Thank you, Hemant, for making fun the world's most insane and boring book.
It’s tempting to pity them but they don’t deserve it in the least and would be furious if they found out anyway. Like any believer, it’s best to hold them accountable to secular laws and standards without pity.
When I was 12 I was taught that the tabernacle was a literal representation of heaven. The bronze altar represents Hell, the bronze basin the river of glass, etc, etc...
Beware of Leviticus. If you hated having to read genealogies or how the tabernacle is built, then you would most likely to hate Leviticus. It gets fucked up towards the end. It starts off boring (nothing happens other than get a “clean” animal to kill and throw in the alter for different types of offerings) then the horror gets bloody and messy.
If you decide to read that horror show Hemant, then I wish you the best of luck. Oh and get ready for some anti-gay verses.
We should put a vote to skip ahead to Numbers. He'll probably have to go through Deuteronomy because Moses gets his goodbye soliloquy. Then Joshua for some good old Perfect Moral Guidance and Love genocide.
Sorry for late reply, but I agree. Hemant is going to get a load on Joshua when he gets there. It’s not the Promised Land of Milk and Honey the media portrays that book to be. All blood, violence and conquest.
I'm actually very interested to hear the Joshua bits, because I want to see where it overlaps with the NT version of Joshua/Yeshua/Jesus.
@@NotSomeone68 Ah, Joshua, the Colonization Manual. The natives practiced human and even child sacrifice, so we're justified in killing all of them, including the children... in all honesty, how is practicing human sacrifice different from starting a holy war? in both cases you're killing people to please your god
@@alguno1010101 The real reason they initiated these attacks was to get rid of any potential competition. Also 'god" instructed moses and his desert tribe to attack these communities, kill every human and animal with sickle swords....spare only virgin girls who they then kidnapped, loot valuables such as silver and gold, and then burn the villages to the ground. There were plenty of ulterior motives for this mass genocide committed by Yahweh, moses and israeli desert tribe.
These are all the instructions Noah got to build a bloody great impossible ship to carry all of the worlds animals. ‘So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks’. That's it.
You have to give credit to Noah, who had no previous ship building experience, for getting such a big complicated impossible job done with very very very vague building instructions from God. Just compare these instructions to the incredible detailed painful complicated pages and pages of instructions Moses received to build the Ark of the Covenant and how to display it.
What got left out is when Noah built and activated the dimensional transcendentalism generator, making the Ark not only infinitely bigger on the inside than the outside but also giving it a nearly inexhaustible supply of food, fresh water and power for heating, cooling, bilge pumping, navigation and maybe internet. You know, like the TARDIS.

God told them to rob Egypt.
500 thousand theives could strip an area.
I'm beginning to think this "free will" idea was just created as an excuse. I don't see a single place where the bible says that free will is intentional or good.
That's what you're gonna think when you don't consider how long and how much difficulties the Israelites had suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. It's God's righteous judgment for the Egyptians' treatment of His people. You're just short-sighted and lacks understanding of Justice, my friend.
@@adastra5107
You lack an understanding of modern knowledge.
They were NEVER slaves in Egypt.
Moses never existed.
No evidence in history, archeology, language, or anything to ever suggest that over 500,000 people ever wandered the desert for 40 years for a 2 week walk.
The exodus NEVER happened!
If, in the story, God hardened the pharaoh's heart to make him, against his free will, deny the slaves their freedom, then how is it "justice" to punish them? Especially if he sent the Israeli into slavery in the first place.
Makes no sense.
This God of the Bible is defined as super-omni. So why does he make so many regretful choices?
You are the shortsighted one, my friend. You have to look beyond the Bible for the truth. It's just a collection of stories told to keep their tribe in line. They had thousands of years of edits. Additions and deletions have been going on from the conception until the present time. You couldn't even know which copy to follow to have his inspired word.
How could you decide?
What makes this "holy book" any different than any other?
Made up by man to explain his world view. Geography of the people usually dictated the religious beliefs that they followed.
You seem to see only through a Christian's eyes.
Do you have an understanding of the other world faiths?
You can't ALL be right, but you ALL can be wrong. Which is more likely?

Ah yes, more diys, I'm dying to hear about the fine linen and gold that god commands Moses to have his people to make, if only it could go on a bit longer, I'd prolly pull my hair out

Funny that you mentioned that the isrealites wanted tp return to Egypt, because they did say that and God killed them for saying it
💯🔥For the first time in my life I'm enthusiastic about reading (also listening in this case) the bible🔥
Cool to see Exodus come to an end. I wonder why they didn't cover any of the final chapters in that one Dreamworks movie...
That's one thing about the Wholly Fables, a lot of filler and a lot of nonsense and smoke.
Yep. Wholly Fables: filler, nonsense plus smoke and mirrors. At least we didn't go to some building hand have some p-ass-tor blow the smoke up our butts.
Did you notice God commanded Moses to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance, wash them, dress them and anoint them rather than just have Moses tell them to do so? Almost like Aaron & sons weren't so crazy about the idea and had to be dragged in kicking and screaming?
Reading god's word cover to cover: this unearthly perseverance gives me a deeper understanding of what true martyrdom entails.
'Ah.. finally, the tabernacle's finished... now we can relax...'
"Nope ... more instructions from the Big G...' Murmur murmur, "And I did not know my mother that way!'
When I think of the glory of the lord, I think of god's back side. So when the glory of the lord settles on the tabernacle I get an image of him sitting on it like a toilet to shit all over everything.
Maybe the tabernacle had a hole in it, to let God's business pass right through.
Praise the glory whole of god. For you may feel his presence and speak in tongue.
It wasn't hard for the ancient,primitive,and ignorant people in the days of Moses-to wrap their heads around the idea that the God of the universe would appear in a form like unto a man to Moses-but than that he would show Moses his backside??? The God that is beyond space and time has a backside? Of course,they didn't know what a "universe"was or space/time.Which gives more credence to the idea that they made "god"in their own image-not the other way around.

This chapter shows that the Israelites were just worshiping an active volcano. A permanent cloud with fire in it at night? Obviously they're describing a column of steam venting from a volcano that's dimly lit by lava in the crater.
Plus earlier Moses had to go up a mountain to "talk to God".
They are lighting a fire near the tabernacle. One which, I assume, is producing smoke....
I wouldn't say "obviously", but that is actually a really good interpretation. Could very well be true, especially considering that everything in the bible was stolen from previous religions.
@@freedapeeple4049 I think it shows that there are multiple real world explanations.
Personally I think a lot of Moses encounter with god could be chalked up to the lack of oxygen at high altitude, creating an old man to see things that weren't there...

This is so dry, I'm daydreaming about whether Hemant types out the text on screen, or copy-pastes from a PDF of the Bible.
They hid the tabernacle so well they lost it
So....God isn't going to remodel my kitchen then?
So wait... are you saying I should just install my own granite counter top? And the linoleum? What about the sink and and the fridge and the range?
After Jehovah spent all that time going into elaborate detail about setting up a Holy tent, you would think He could give me at least a minute or to two of His time to help me color coordinate my dream kitchen!
He has the time! It's not like He's out curing childhood cancer or something! I need help!
Place the altar of Burt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting. Then adorn it with... a SHRUBBERY.
Surely the wise words of the almighty creator of the universe. Makes perfect sense👌
I don't think the writers of the Bible knew what clouds were
The Bible sounds so much more stupid in modern language.
Does setting a reminder increase engagement statistics?
To be fair, the only reason the 5 books were divided as they were, was because the parchment had reached its size limits. It wasn't intended to be separate books.
Oh, that is' not correct at all. Especialyl regarding Genesis and Exodus. Geneis and Exodus are dramatically different, in concept, tone and how they are written.
It's obvous that Genesis and Exodus were written by different people. So they obvously weren't meant to be together.

It is important for those of us that grew up with this Bible indoctrination, and are now atheists, to be reminded of the extent of depravity and atrocities committed by this particular “loving god” character...It still is shocking, and it underscores the fraud and complete contradictions that this Bible and religion promotes.
Also people who are still undecided and in the process of evaluating what their belief system has the potential of becoming or not. They especially need to hear this as well.
Not very many of us are likely to open our Bible and read the OT...... (and besides I tossed mine out some time back). So I look forward to many chapters ahead. Thank you Hemant🙏
@Robert Hunt being an atheist doesn't mean you have no interest in the bible (or mythologies of other religions)
@Robert Hunt fun fact: Christianity is a very influential religion and it's doctrine is based on the bible, and there are people who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians, so by pointing out what is wrong with the bible you can counter those who try to inforce Christianity on non-Christians.
People like yourself Robert, live in fantasy, and prefer it that way. So you would not have the intelligence or integrity to understand a thirst for truth and uncovering of the lies people like yourself continue to propagate.
@Robert Hunt Well honey pie, you are um........confusing. You are opting to turn a blind eye toward a big piece of the puzzle. If anything, bringing to light and critiquing these passages, should in fact bring some understanding to religious and non religious alike as to why nontheists reject the Bible and the abrahamic religions. The ones you mention, that theoretically become enemies based on someone exposing and analyzing their depraved scriptures and god character, were already enemies.... and issuing eternal hell condemnations. I was indoctrinated as a child. Later, being exposed to the REALITIES of religious doctrine, made me much more understanding and tolerant of those portions of the globe that reject the abrahamic religions... and ultimately I rejected them myself. Prior to that, I judged the non religious as I was taught to.
.... and people like you Robert, are aiding and abetting the continued propagation to future generations of this ignorant nefarious indoctrination, by means of desiring passive silence and acceptance of the unacceptable. Small changes over time will ultimately benefit society, families, women, children, animals, the earth, the environment, and the promotion of education, science, truth, and REALITY across the globe. Research societies where abrahamic religions no longer dominate. They are more healthy, intelligent and superior on many levels.

I don't know if it's already in the comments somewhere, but to my understanding the second set of tablets is in fact meant to be the same as the first . Exodus 20 never calls those the "Ten Commandments". Exodus 34 is the only place where a specific set of text is referred to as the "Ten Commandments".
Deuteronomy also mentioned the Ten Commandments and appears to be describing the events that take place in Exodus 20, so the two books are in contradiction to each other and a lot of scholars believe these two different Decalogues to have two different origins that were never reconciled when both were put in the Hebrew Bible.

I mean... Who in their right mind would read this stuff??? I Kind of remember something with Kanaan did come after Moses in my children's bible... But the big question I have: when do we get to the spicy parts? For example David sending a man to his death so he can marry his widow? I mean... That's a story that kinda burned itself in my brain cause... DA HECK DUDE???

Insane BS. The weird part is that some think it's real. Better off with bad drugs.
The bad drugs even do far less brain damage and less addictive besides! (Yes, I know many drugs are extremely addictive)
I thought you said last week that you were moving on to Deuteronomy next? I fgured that meant you were skipping Leviticus. What's the plan?
I just love Deuteronomy. I'm a bastard.
What a riveting book. What action, drama and adventure. Best book ever. Heh.
