    The phrase "the lion shall lie down with the lamb" is a popular cultural reference that many people attribute to the Bible. However, this exact phrase does not actually appear in the Bible.
    The phrase is likely a conflation of two separate verses in the book of Isaiah. The first is Isaiah 11:6, which states: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
    The second verse is Isaiah 65:25, which reads: "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord."
    It's possible that the popular misquote of the Bible has arisen from the fact that both of these verses depict unlikely pairs of animals living together in peace. However, it's worth noting that the actual verses refer to different animals

      More likely is that it’s a combination of the concept of Jesus being both the Lion of Judah and the Lamb that was slain in Revelation 5:5-6 and the WHOLE of Isaiah 11:6 which reads “In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.”

      Yes, I have definitely heard Sunday school teachers and pastors alike ad-libbing dialogue and supposing what people's reactions at the time would have been.
      Some of them got quite creative, acting out scenes and dialogue, which was entertaining, but most likely thoroughly incorrect as they were always based on how modern man in our own community would have reacted. 🙄

    I hadn’t heard the part about the wolf lying next to the lamb before but when you said lamb I automatically assumed it would be a wolf. Wolves and lambs have always been depicted as enemies and the idea of enemies being at peace in paradise seemed exactly like the kind of thing they’d go for

      I think it’s also logic, or should I say sinful human nature, he was living during a horrible time(I was just reading about all the nations that would’ve been warring yesterday in something completely unrelated to scripture), we know that, he was building an ark based on faith that was way bigger than a foot ball field. He also likely hired neighbors to help build it. Money literally was about to become worthless and he was probably mocked for losing all of his money into a project like this, but those collecting it didn’t care. The picture in peoples heads as they read the scripture is what would happen if they did that, people would mock you.

      In II Peter 2:5, Noah is called a "preacher of righteousness." “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” Hebrews 11:7 tells us that the results of his preaching were, “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.“

      Yeah, I'm told the Torah is commentary on the Testament, the Talmud is commentary on the Torah. If I have that the right way around, it's why I reserve statements on 'The Bible' until I've really checked stuff out, some simple stories in that Pentateuch get seriously unfolded and added to.

  • @MicahWo
    @MicahWo 6 місяців тому +90

    The passage you quote has 3 animal pairs, wolf/lamb, lion/calf, and leopard/goat and all 3 pairs are representing the same state of being.
    The reason the verse gets paraphrased as lion/lamb in English is probably due largely to alliteration "Lion Lay down with the Lamb" is easy for kids to remember. The fact that the new testament uses both lion and lamb as symbols or titles for the Christ is likely another reason those two get used together. When paraphrasing something repetitive there is no reason to give all 3 examples.

      My point was about wolves and much of my source material was the Nova special, "Wolf in the Fold," which reveals that the herding behaviour so useful to shepherds is not something humans cultivated in domestic dogs but is shaped natural lupine behaviour. The sheep herding dog is much closer to the wolf than other breeds of dog; in fact, breeders (of the Australian cattle dog in particular) periodically reinject wolf into the pedigree to keep the instinct strong.

    I know where I got the ideas from. Music on both accounts. The song Peacemaker by The Steel Drivers mentions "when the lion lays down with the lamb then you wont find me in nobody's hand. Until that time I will remain, til the sinners lay down with the saints".
    And I got the Noah one from The Devil Makes Three in their song Help Yourself "Our father art in heaven hallowed be thy name told Noah to build a boat on the dryest of days and everybody in the neighborhood said old Noah was insane. I guess when the waters receded, now, the truth was plain."
    I think the wolf/lamb -> lion/lamb thing was done solely for alliteration. While the Noah one was changed probably to make the story a little more compelling. If Noah was surrounded by doubters criticising his actions, it makes his devotion to the words he recieved from God even more admirable. And it appeals to an audience of Christians who feel like their beliefs are being doubted by more and more people every generation. They empathise with Noah's vindication as he was proven right and everyone else died for the crime of 'not being God's special boy'.

      Both things can be true. The text does refer to him as Saul before his conversion and Paul after his conversion.
      I’ve known people who went through a big change in life and started to go by their middle name as a way of separating themselves from their former life. Just because both are their real name already, doesn’t mean they didn’t make a change.
      Saul was a well-known Pharisee before his conversion. As part of his travels to a Latin-speaking population and leaving his Pharisee life behind, it makes sense that he’d stop using the Hebrew form of his name and start using the Latin-friendly form.
      So yeah, it’s probably not as simple as “the name change happened because of his conversion”, but it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
      Another cynical way of looking at it is branding. He was on a mission to convert people. Many of his audience would have been familiar with stories of God changing Abram and Jacob’s names in the Old Testament. Making an adjustment to his own name (in a way that didn’t require any paperwork) could have been a great way to connect his own story with those of antiquity and help his message.

Only time a word is changed is for a synonym(because at the time of the English translation our vocabulary was significantly smaller). For example, we are called in the English Bible God's prized creation, or valued, or prize, etc. But the actual Hebrew word is "Masterpiece", in terms of artistic creation. we just didn't have that word quite yet. Small instances like that, but you'll never see whole phrasing or sentences changed, removed or altered significantly in meaning. Its all exactly how it was.

Often cited is pagan faith but i actually wonder if there is some Zoroastrian in there when xtians start with the good vs evil thing, as Zoroastrian doesn't have a dissimilar story to be fair...although i know ultimately there is this war with false prophet it Revelations and a battle of Armageddon etc.

      True, the “destroyer” is never explicitly mentioned to be an angel, though if the destroyer is not God himself, it’s assumed that it’s an angel, since other iterations of the destroyer are mentioned to be an angel or a multitude of angels.

      Yes Islam allows polygany. For a male that is able to have multiple wives.
      Islam doesn't allow rape. So you've told a lie there. Let me educate you quickly as you sound ignorant.
      Islam has a clear stance which states that RAPE is HARAM and imposes a deterrent punishment on the one who commits it.
      The PUNISHMENT for RAPE in Islam is the same as the punishment for zina, which is STONING if the perpetrator is married, and ONE HUNDRED LASHES and BANISHMENT for ONE YEAR if he is not married.
      If you have any questions on Islam i can educate you. But don't lie. It just shows that you are like your father Satan who lies.
      So tell me now why polygany is wrong?

    Love your videos, bro! Just a quick point:
    1) I never recall hearing about a Lion laying with a lamb in the first place but i believe you. Maybe it’s a mistranslation for the purposes of “optics” i.e. a wolf seems more scary so lets change it to a lion.
    2) Its entirely possible that conception of the ark story is a result of pop-culture representations of that story in movies/tv/books. Often source material is more bare-bones. I read Genesis recently so this points didn’t rake me by surprise.

But in reality, humankind was at the brink of extinction. One local catastrophe could have killed all of them. So by forcing us to spread out again, god probably saved us from extinction.
