The number 40 seems to be very popular in the Old Testament. The deluge rained for 40 days and 40 nights, the Jew wandered in the desert for 40 years, the Tribes of Israel strayed from virtue every 40 years, etc. I wonder if 40 just meant a long time, whether measured in days, nights, hours, years.

It's been interesting to me that the judges in the book of judges are actually military leaders. Nothing is said about them actually being judges Except for the woman It is explicitly written that this woman Deborah sat under a tree and passed judgments on legal disputes. So she was in authority over men! So the ancient israelites were not Southern Baptist or Catholics!
The word "judge" in English used to have a different meaning as one who IMPLEMENTS justice, not the one who... well... judges. So think Judge Dredd instead of Judge Judy.
@@langreeves6419 Yes, but that's her function as a PROPHETESS. What made her a "judge" was her warmongering, not her day job. Samuel was the same. What made him the last judge wasn't his prophecizing and legal work but his leadership of the Israeli war effort, first as their theocratic warlord then as advisor to their first king.
@@langreeves6419 No, you're the one missing the whole point. Judges is about the warlords who lead Israel in the time before monarchy. What made one a judge was the warmongering. Deborah holding court is not the important part of the story. Other women in the Bible could hold court. In fact Jezebel was denigrated in the Bible exactly because that's what she did. What made Deborah special was her status as a warleader - something no other biblical woman ever does. Think! What was more emancipating in the eyes of the people the book was written for? The part where she held court as the wife of Lappidoth or the one where she organized and lead the Israelite army with Barak as her deputy? You're entirely missing the authority that actually mattered in the story to the people the story was intended for.
I love your lectures but, I've studied esoteric symbolism for years with special emphasis on mythology. I understand this isn't a forum for comparative myth structure but I would like to point out two things.. 1 ) there's are 12 judges just as there are tribes of Israel 12 imans in Islam 12 new testament apostles in fact in every religion you'll find the 12 just as you'll find the 7 (samson had 7 locks of hair) in the Jewish Temple you have the minorah with 7 branches and a table with 12 shewbread loaves.. Hebrew itself has 7 double letters and 12 single (with 3 mother letters) all significant of the same thing.. the 12 divisions of zodiac and the seven planets of antiquity . This idea was held universally in the ancient world and is embedded in every religion whether you see it or not.. I should also point out that Samson is identical in the theme to the story of Hercules ..
So three religions that descended from a common culture in the same piece of geography use the same symbols and myths. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! And no,its not embedded in every ancient religion,lmao. Hinduism and Chinese religions have none of these symbolisms.
@@adams5414 : Is there a non-Biblical reference to the 'EXODUS"? Pretty sure that the 'Exodus' was nothing more than a series of oral campfire tales, told and re-told by family related Canaanite hillbilly shepherds.
@@adams5414 the philistines were a part of the sea peoples that were settled in Canaan between 1180-1150 bce. At the time Canaan was part of Egypt and had been for many centuries prior. So stories set before that time that include the philistines are wrong and the Israelites can’t flee Egypt in the exodus by staying in Egypt.
The relationship between the Hyksos and the Philistines is geographical. According to the Egyptian chronicles, after their expulsion the Hyksos retreated to the area that later became Philistia. So technically the people that the Peleset conquered (or were given as subjects by Egypt) may have been descended from the Hyksos. By extension, since the Philistines themselves assimilated with the locals, you can argue that the Philistine population was mainly composed of descendants of the Hyksos.
Samson, Hercules and Gilgamesh are the same story synchronized through different lenses but I always wonder you was the original hero of the story which city was this actually about each original five cities would take the hero story and put their patron saint as the hero of story so who made this story before Gilgamesh?
Yup, I just realized that is why they must have kept Jewish settlements in the West Bank but removed from Gaza. I'm Jewish and didn't realize until this war, how it is actually 'reverse apartheid.' Yes all Jews admit that a majority of us left and then came back, for various reasons from forced expulsion to economic opportunities or repressive regimes etc..
Palasa . a region in west south west Ballcans. in antiquity many criminals were kicked out of there to nowadays north of Israel and Lebanon just like the ex British in Australia. also many of them were banned to come back home or they would get killed if so. the word in Greek is extraocated
1:02:15 Mixup of Balkan nations haha, its the Bulgars who were a Turkic people who migrated from Eurasian steppe into the Balkan area and assimilated into the Slavs who were already living there. After that happened Bulgarian is a Slavic language, and Bulgarians consider themselves to be South Slavs. Serbs and Croats are just Slavs that settled there earlier when Slavs were settling that area, tho interestingly for Serbs its very likely that the name Serb is an exonym, from the Latin word for slave /servant - servus. If thats the case its a weird reverse situation of how the English word slave etymologically comes from Slav (which is a Slavic endonym coming most likely from slovo - speech, language).
John/Leandro, Why do knowledgeable people always tiptoe around the discussions involving the Philistines? Are they so pivotal to the Israelite story? Clearly the Bible is in error, or is it? Did God get it wrong when issuing his exit directions? I would appreciate a definitive, logical explanation!!!
There is no second story of Goliath being killed... You're quoting 2 Samuel 21 at 28:24 - where it clearly says "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the *brother* of Goliath, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam."... Why do you do this?
You're quoting KJV. I don't speak Biblical Hebrew, but in every translation in every language I speak it IS just Goliath and not "the brother of". There are more recent English translations that also agree with that. KJV is a pretty flawed source, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a way to streamline the continuity of the biblical narrative
