So interesting that the '10 of the words' are copied from the older Egyptian writings the 42 laws of Ma'at in the Egyptian bible. It's all copied. The whole lot. From pagan beliefs, deities etc.
I love the quote near the end. In the fundamentalist church I was brought up in, there was an almost exclusive focus on the individual's relationship with God. Yes, you were told to put others before yourself, but this was a matter of pleasing God and building your personal relationship with Christ. When you get the message that everything you think, say and do is about you and your God, other people exist for you mainly as a way to practice your faith. Your behavior towards them can then easily end up coming from a place of duty and detachment, instead of joy and love.
There's actually a complete other point of view in Judaism, whatever the denomination. For example, the biggest holiday in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, comes after the end of the last month of the Jewish year (which makes it the beginning of the next Jewish year, but that's not the point). During this holiday, you have to ask God for forgiveness for every wrongdoing you've done him. But, during the last month of the year, which ends 10 days before, you have to ask forgiveness for wrongdoing other people, and try to make those right. Why? Because it's more important to be right to people than to God, and He might not forgive you if you haven't corrected your wrongs to others first.
@@nathanburechimagine a rock thrown down a cliff and into a village having to ask for forgiveness to the person who threw it for all the damage that it did, specially when such person knew exactly what would happen.
"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky" Rainer Maria Rilke
@@machonsote918 Typically we build relationships on how the other person makes us feel and/or what they do for us. That can even meen they are needy and we help them which actually makes us feel good. To love a person simply because they exist is pure love. Does that help?
I never heard the "kidnap" versus "steal" thing as a question of translation before so I found that interesting. It was always my understanding that "steal" referred to taking anything that you were no entitled to so it included stealing, or kidnapping, a person. It could also be interpreted as prohibiting "rape" because that steals someone's honor or bodily autonomy. Murder is the closest word we have for unethical killing so that's why modern English translations say "murder." Besides, people are instructed to "kill" with some regularity in the Bible.
Yeah that kinda blew my mind for a while! I think it’s interesting that in a more consumerist society, we see kidnapping as a *kind* of stealing, but in these older cultures, stealing was a *kind* of kidnapping.
The notion of pairing the commandments is potentially interesting but definitely needs another video. Please keep up this terrifically interesting work. 😊
On the other, you can pair any with any and make sense out of the pairing. I fear it would go into mysticism, as can you make the pairing sound sensible? Yes, but you can do this with practicable any.
@@georgelionon9050 In writing English papers in college, I learned to take any old nonsense position and argue it to complete the assignment. My point here is to see if the pairing seems inspired or if it seems like nonsense. I try to keep an open mind. 😊
@@da33smith37 Indeed that was always my issue with this kinds of assignment (as germanspeaker it was german, but an essay was basically just arguing any random point without any research). My point here, yes, one can likely make a well sounnding argument how to pair 1 and 6, 2 and 7 and so on. But also 1 and 10, 2 and 9, or 1 and 2, 3 and 4 whatever.
I worked in NYC long ago and a Hasidim friend of mine were talking about the "commandments". He mentioned that God's first commandment was to "increase and multiply". As someone with a smattering of Christianity this took me by surprise, but of course, it's right there in Genesis, I couldn't argue. And he really took it to heart. He had eight kids!
There a LOT of commandments. The Ten Commandments is a shorthand phrase for the specific commands given at Mt. Sinai to the children of Israel after the exodus. Let’s not forget that.
@@darkeyezeand it’s very interesting how Judaism took from other religions like the Memphite religion which had a god named Ptah who was a creator god and used his voice to speak things into existence. The fact the Levantine god Yahweh that eventually became the Hebrew god uses the spoken word to manifest material creation is a great example of how creation myths from that era shared with and inspired each other.
The grammatical differences are enlightening. The part about two copies one for you one for the king is mind blowing. The two copies makes it a conract between you and God.
But then why would Moses be given both copies and not told why? One for inside the tabernacle's/temple's Holy of Holies and one for outside perhaps? We can't know, of course, but it would make sense if each tablet truly had all ten commandments, but we can't know that, either.
It's really interesting learning that differences between the languages, I'm from Spain and here the first commandment it's "Amarás a Dios sobre todas las cosas" which it's translated to: You will love God over every thing.
As a person that loves other languages, and learns other meanings daily, I agree. Even translating Portuguese to English doesn't always work. How does something translated across 3 or 4 languages retain meaning? It doesn't. The English version is entirely manipulated to fit a King's agenda. Some are better than others, some deserve to be slaves. Does that sound like God's word? I don't think so.
@fredrossi1334 LOL, which "English version" are you talking about? There are about 6 dozen, last I checked. 😂 And no, the quote "Some are better than others, some deserve to be slaves." doesn't appear in any English version of any Bible passage I've ever read. But then the versions I usually read have not been "translated across 3 or 4 languages," either, lol.
They have a far better understanding of the Hebrew language. Some of the Bible translations used today were based off of other translations from Greek or Roman, or translations of translations. And we also have to remember what the Bible was originally used for by the Romans that created it. They created it and murdered every Christian they found that would not allow them to burn every other book they used, and executed every other Christian that refused to say their creed.
I don't believe that tale of Roman soldiers and early Christian. Paper was precious, a whole Bible or just one Gospel would be ridiculously expensive. There weren't even a set of accepted books in the New Testament, that would come with the Council of Nicea. There were books, many from the Nag Hamadi, like the Gospel of Jesus, and the gospel of Mary Magdeline. And soldiers wouldn't antagonize Jews by threatening to burn their books basically all of the Old Testament. Also I think the majority of Christian converts weren't even literate! Really the whole thing seems fictional. Also The Jews understand Hebrew, period. Hardly any Christian do. So it's not they understand "better", they(at least Orthodox Jews) understand, period. We don't. Where did you learn this stuff?
@@nathanlevesque7812 correct. christians were generally accepted in pre-christian rome. with a few noteable and brutal exception. the idea that christians were brutally supressed until thry suddenly became state religion is just completely wrong.
@@squirlmy given Christian's history of a martyrdom complex to both pretend to be oppressed in modern times and to justify their missionaries' actual crimes(a lot of missionary offerings involve not mentioning stuff like weapons smuggling or attempting to contact uncontacted indigenous people who could be susceptible to modern plagues), I have a hard time believing pretty much any of early Christian 'history' as told by the church and pretty much nobody else.
I remember reading selections from the Torah for my human civilizations course in college. It was interesting, because the text itself was familiar to me, as a Christian, but when we discussed it in class, we learned about it from a Jewish perspective, which was less familiar. It was pretty interesting.
I'm glad they did that. Many people think that Judaism is Christianity-lite, the same, but without Jesus. And it really isn't. Judaism has had 3000 years to examine, discuss, argue about and embroider its concepts and many would be incomprehensible to the average person who hasn't been immersed in it.
@@RobMacKendrick Actually, according to God it is very much a book for Christians. That's what the entire New Testament says over and over again. But what any man says who is not led of the Holy Spirit, esp in the modern day, counts for nothing. Especially Lewis Black, who is currently a worldly and ungodly man. So his opinion counts for nothing.
@@davidm5707 Post-Christian Judaism is a pale shadow, a false works-based religion, which holds elements of the pre-Christian Mosaic covenant religion established at Mt. Sinai in Arabia. In other words the Jews changed their own religion after the destruction of the Second Temple - it is no longer the religion of the Old Testament. Nor can it be, because the sacrificial system is dead - nor can that system be ever in affect again - even when the Third Temple is rebuilt and the sacrifices start again - because Jesus fulfilled the law, and thus the Temple is no longer necessary. God no longer needs to be 'present' in a Temple, as it was in the Mosaic covenant religion, but within any person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Which the Jews strangely reject today - yet their very scripture, the Old Testament, testified for over 2000 years that that is exactly what God always had in mind, and not only for the Jews/Hebrews, but for ALL mankind: for God to live WITHIN man, thus transforming man from the inside out. Which is of course what we have already seen in Christianity, with those who truly submitted to God, and led/lead godly lives.
@houstoneuler I found a source that says: Thou shall not put toilet paper in a rolling under position Thou shall not wear brown shoes with a black suit Thou shall not take 2 parking spaces at Walmart (unless you need to and have parked in far side of the lot) Thou shall not button the top button of any shirt unless wearing a tie There are no rules
I’m not a believer in any religion, but.... That statement near the end, magnifies my inner feelings. Love for another is because they are, they deserve love, no matter what they believe or can give you. Love for someone special or indeed anyone, is so very very special
Great vid, I learned a few things just now, thanks. Personally, I always disliked it when people told me "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" means that you're not supposed to swear. There's so much more to this verse. People with power in church, usually expected to speak the words of God, they are expected to speak in His name. I feel that this commandment tells us to speak the words He wants us to speak, and never pretend that we do while we're pushing our own ideas. Everyone who speaks in church should ask himself: Am I actually saying what God wants me to say, or am I using His name in vain by saying my/wordly things?
I've long interpreted it as not using God's *reputation* to promote your own ends/ideas -- most egregiously when a priest/pastor tries to swindle the congregation with "God granted me a vision that we'll collectively raise five million dollars to build this thing----" Names are synonymous with reputation, and it's not cool to use someone's reputation in a way they wouldn't approve of. I don't see the word "god" as God's name, really. I realize that many people think that saying "oh my god" is blasphemy or whatever, but to me, if they're a believer then they'll answer to God for what was in their hearts at the time, and if they're not a believer then they're not referring to the same god in any case. I don't myself swear like that (I rarely swear at all), but it doesn't bother me as much as it does, say, my mom. And I do think it's telling that humanity commonly cries out to god in their most painful or troubling moments, even if they don't believe in him -- it's embedded in so many languages. Dios mio!

The truth is stranger than fiction it’s obvious and just plain common sense and real true spirit with discernment and the eyes are useless, when the mind is blind…..Moses has a speech impediment that most people could not understand that’s why his brother spoke for him and not Moses….and be careful why the Bible was written by the Freemasons but left some words from creator above but again very little why it’s to be decode of its signs symbols and numbers(gematria)….try not to take it face value….like King James who is a freemason in Scotland 🏴 and started lodges in Scotland, and Sir Francis beacon who wrote it and himself is one too….and Jesus/Christ died at the age of 33 and that’s the highest form to freemason 33 degree 📜…..read Amos 5:25-27 and Acts 7:43…..and the Star of David is not his star it’s Remphan/moloch and the Jews are not the the chosen people even the Jews say it too….. and Christ was not Jewish either it’s always been there read it all,and don’t skip pages….research no please research 🔬 into the rabbit holes 🕳 you may not like what you see or hear…..research for the true Christ and Creator above this world and universe and not the prince/Christ/anti Christ of this world……remember lucifer/prince has many signs and symbols and numbers…..and the Creator above this world and universe has only one symbol……Lucifer gives you the fish…..the true Christ/Creator above this world and universe teaches you how to fish….and it’s not God either why it’s a lower form to Dog see it……it’s Creator/Great Spirit above this world and universe

The bit toward the end where the video clip was talking about love being about recognizing that the other person exists as their own person apart from you... hit home really hard. That would be a fundamental element of why my marriage failed, as my wife could never really... separate her view of how things should be and should be done from her valuation of me as a human being. On multiple occasions, she talked about things between us in terms of "If you were an employer who had an employee who kept underperforming in their job, what would you do?" The implication is that, logically, I would fire them. I'm pretty darn certain that she never really understood the toxicity of that view, and I can't say that I think she ever will. In any event, I love this video, because far too many people only see what are... fundamentally historical documents through their own limited modern lenses.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about. Different translations having different meanings changing the context of the message. Thank you for the video!
Even within the same culture and language, the translations can differ. Or at least the numbering can; I'm told the Catholics and the Protestants have different traditions, so when you speak of "Commandment #8" you could be talking about two different things.
@@benjaminrobinson3842 It depends on the kind of protestants. Protestants after Luther have a very similar numbering as the catholic church, with the only difference is what is part of the 9th and 10th amendment (Wikipedia has a good list diagram about it). But I think it makes most sense how protestants after Calvin see it, with the 1st after the catholic church being split to the 1st "No other gods" and the 2nd "No praying to pictures and statues" and 9th and 10th after the catholic church being just the 10th "No desire for something that belongs to your neighbor". In the end the ten commandments are just a simplification of Ex 20,2-17.
Translation is so dang complicated, especially with philosophical texts... My Ancient Western Philosophy professor opened the first class by live translating a commonly-known text and having us guess what it was. None of us recognized it as the opening lines of the Gospel of John, because his translation was so dramatically different from the version we were all familiar with. A lot of his discussions of the Bible (and other philosophical texts) hinged on the word "logos", which is usually translated as "word," but is SO much deeper and more complicated than that. It is logic and reason, it's discourse and argument, it's knowledge and wisdom and understanding... you could even connect it to the light of creation. Translating it simply as "word" loses so much nuance; knowing the full meaning adds so much depth. So yeah, translation can absolutely totally change the meaning of something. In the process of seeking to make a text more understandable to readers of a different language and even age and culture, we end up accidentally totally transforming what we read. Translation is an art, not a science!
Logos is used to refer to the constant, written word. As in the word of God in the Bible. There is also rhema, which refers to the instant, personal speaking of God to us, depending on personal relationship with God. They tie together deeply and it's interesting and moving.
@@albertmagician8613 That is why I try to read Tao-te-ting in Chinese with all those commentaries and translations and Chinese too, of course. It is really hard but so much better than just reading a translation. Each and every one misses something important.
This is why original texts must be periodically translated into the vernacular. Words change meaning over time (witness "gay"). These translations must be made by scholars of the original language and by those who are un-biased. I have read that the word "maiden" (simply an unmarried woman) was mis-translated into "virgin." Leading to a whole cult of beliefs.
@@lanierosenberg I 100% agree. This is why I was really excited when new translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey came out recently. There were a few negative reviews about certain passages feeling "too" modern, but I'm genuinely intrigued to see how Emily Wilson handled them. Modern CAN be good, if a modern idiom or reference can carry the meaning better than older language that doesn't "click" anymore. I also have thoughts about the changing meaning of words. My favorite example is "tyrannos". The modern word "tyrant" has a very negative connotation, but the ancient Greek "tyrannos" did not. It just meant a ruler who had seized power instead of inheriting it, and often that tyrant came into power with the support of the people. You can see this in the title of a famous play, which we now call "Oedipus Rex" or "Oedipus the King," which in ancient Greek was titled "Oedipus Tyrannos." Oedipus was a very popular ruler of Thebes because he saved them from the sphinx. At least until the "killed his father and married his mother" thing came to light... But back to history instead of mythology. In fact, tyrants often remained popular through much of their rule, because they understood that they wouldn't be in power without popular support, so they were careful to remain just and moderate. The biggest historical example of this is Peisistratus, a tyrant of Athens who went down in history for the way he stood up for the lower classes and enacted massive economic and cultural improvements, laying the groundwork for Athens to become so preeminent in the ancient world. Unfortunately, when he passed his power down to his sons, it did not last. After one son was assassinated over a lover's quarrel (look up the Tyrannicides, great story), the other son became paranoid, oppressing the people and killing many of them. My professor said this sort of thing happened multiple times: a tyrant took power and treated the people well because he understood he had nothing without them... but his children, lacking that context, abused their power and sullied their reputation, until they too were overthrown. It eventually happened enough that "tyrant" came into modern parlance to mean an autocratic, oppressive ruler. Language and etymology are fascinating. ☺️

Raised as a Christian, I always enjoy listening to a Jewish scholar. It brings a different and often clearer perspective to the roots and intent of teachings. I’m no longer a believer yet I am a believer in the wisdom of the teachings.
i consider myself an irreligious person but with such a love for learning about religion, not entirely sure why but the quality of your content is probably gonna keep that love flowing keep doing what you’re doing!❤️
Religious belief is a very human thing, like music. So even if you consider yourself to have no personal religious beliefs it is still an interesting psychological aspect that most other people do have.
@@boggisthecat tell me more, do you find religion shows up in less overt ways in the irreligious? or is it more like you expect most people to have some kind of relationship with religion
@@michaelmwangi8845 There does seem to be a propensity for religious belief in humans, just as there is a propensity for music. The people studying how our minds work may eventually figure this out, but there are some reasonably good suggestions based upon a requirement to be ‘wired’ this way for sociability and thus survival. I was an atheist in my early life, but became a Christian in my early twenties, by the way. (Yes, we do exist.)
I've known about the difference in 6 for most of my life, and learned about the 1/2 difference a few years ago. I was surprised to learn about 8. I finished the video being surprised there weren't more differences. What surprised me most about 8 was not only the shifting of societal values toward material, but if the deeper hierarchal implications. God shall make laws for his people, and people shall make laws for their things.
@@michaelmalone3138 Learning the meaning of the language used in the scriptures is part of the quest of understanding what God's gospel means. God gave us brains. Did he do that without purpose? What better purpose could there be than to use His gifts to help us get closer to him?
@@DARIVSARCHITECTVS It brings no new revelation or understanding. they add no clarity. Should i learn aramaic in order that i too can be tuned into a closer relationship with God. All of this is for your own ego and leads to alienating weaker people so you can shine, We have brains yes but to be the fool squandering his life on "where did God come from" is a wasted journey. The holy spirit leads us through prayer and study of the word.This is why scripture is written so well it leaves multiple meaning to different people.All spirit lead.
@@michaelmalone3138no, THIS is wrong. No matter what you believe, living without contemplation and self reflection will lead to corruption. You MUST examine your beliefs. Deeply, and critically. That goes for everyone.
@@WedgeSkyrocket Enjoy trying to find answers from a God who never wanted you to know. Thats your decision , i choose to ask why me Lord and follow more pressing issues to guide me with the holy spirit.
For someone decently new to this, you already have a great grasp on video making and no-fuss storytelling! I enjoyed learning about the verses from this despite being rather neutral on religion. Great work!
It's always interesting to see the root of these kinds of things. Though some might reject it because it's "not what [they] were taught in school/church" today, many of these details actually flesh out and make the religion at its core seem far more complex, beautiful and compassionate. And I say this both as someone who is very much not religious and has personally seen people related to me twist and misuse this very religion (or at least its modern interpretation) to their own ends.
Christians are more inclined to dismiss it not just because it is different than what they were taught but because the Hebrew scholarship of modern Judaism is not normally their reference point. One Rabbi, whom we believe to be the Messiah, is the Christian reference point and His take is that they are commandments (Greek, ἐντολὰς), and in citing them, He unsurprisingly quotes the main commandment in question in this video as, "Do not steal" (Greek κλέπτω in Luke 18:20, repeated by the Apostle in Romans 13:9), not narrowed only to "do not kidnap," and this is further supported as not unique to either Jesus or the Apostles of that time by the text of Exodus 20 in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Scriptures that was made by Jewish scholars well before Jesus' time.
Beautiful presentation. I think a lot of folks unfamiliar with the bible miss the idea you kicked off with…the Covenant. All things flow from that in both an existential and spiritual sense. Many of these commandments are common sense middle ground between people who may not recognize a relationship with God. In such an instance, the desire to discover and be known to represent the highest good in one’s actions is still present. However, there is no replacement for the insurance that comes from a personal and conscious relationship with God. I say this as someone who studied the sciences for many years. Despite all of the wonder and knowledge there is an ultimate lack of answer to the question why do I exist conscious of the fact that I woke up this morning and drew breath. Still Love the sciences, but science with miracles is arguably better. Sorry to ramble. Thanks again for your lead.
4:04 The verse לא תרצח can't be translated as "no killing". It is actually the imperfect aspect of masculine 2nd person, therefore should be translate as "you shall not murder".
Do you honestly believe the Hebrew vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of today is exactly the same as it was 6,000 years ago? The English we use today is very different than the English we used just 100 years ago, and very different 200, 300, 400, years, etc. and you'd hear something more akin to German. "Unethical killing" is the closest meaning, apart from ethical killing, which god commanded several times (book of Samuel for 1 example) according to scriptures. The word we use for unethical killing today is murder, however, 6000 years ago and as far as we can know, "unethical killing" seems to make more sense for then. The semantics of ancient languages and understanding them today as they were used then is not a perfect science.
@@MarkLewis... First, Torah was compliled approximately 2500 years ago, not 6000. Second, the "aspect" is a grammatical concept in the Biblical Hebrew, and it doesn't exist in the Modern Hebrew. Yes, I was trying to explain by Biblical Hebrew
As for semantic meaning, the verb לרצוח specifically means to murder, implying intentional and premeditated killing of another human being, and carries a strong negative connotation, while the verb להרוג is a more general term for taking a life of animals or another human being, accidentally or at war. That's why the translation "You shall not murder" sounds okay to me.
@@RM-hu9sd It's not about the "Torah", it's about the language- Hebrew. Your argument is invalid. Hebrew has changed as it is understood now to 6000 years ago, when all of those stories were compiled for the Torah. So, to hold archaic and very ancient Hebrew to the interpretations of today is folly.
Interesting thing i learned from Dr. Michael Heiser is that between Jewish translations and traditions plus different Christian denominations, you can find 13 commandments
I like the Idea of Back to back copy of two tablet just like in our present times, we have 2 copies of the same documents, one for the Authority and one for Personal.
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man" "The Millennial Kingdom has come" . ... (when Moses was in the forest, God directly instructed and spoke to him. From the sky God sent food, water, and manna and it is still like this today. It will be like Joseph: Everything came to him and bowed down, for he had food.) Almighty God said Have you seen what WORK of GOD WILL BE FULFILLED in this GROUP of PEOPLE? God once said, even in the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, PEOPLE SHOULD STILL FOLLOW HIS WORDS and CONTINUE, and in the FUTURE, the WORD OF GOD WILL DIRECTLY GUIDE HUMAN LIFE TO THE GOOD LAND OF CANAAN. 🙏 When Moses was in the forest, God instructed and spoke directly to him. From HEAVEN GOD SENT FOOD, WATER, and MANNA for MAN to ENJOY, and it is STILL LIKE THIS TODAY: GOD PERSONALLY SET THE THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO EAT and DRINK to ENJOY, and He PERSONALLY sent curses to punish people. And so every step of His WORK is PERSONALLY FULFILLED by GOD. NOW, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING for the truths to happen again, they are trying to see signs and wonders, and those people can be neglected, because the work of God is the one that is gradually being verified. NO ONE KNOWS that GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, they still do not KNOW that GOD SENDS FOOD and DRINK from HEAVEN----thus, He is the REAL LIVING ONE, and the pleasant SCENES of the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM that what PEOPLE think are also PERSONAL WORDS of GOD. ☀️ This is the truth, and only this exists with God on earth. God's existence on earth refers to the flesh. Those who are not of the flesh are not on earth, and thus all those who focus on going to the third heaven are acting in vain. One day, when the entire universe returns to God, the CENTER of His WORK in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE will FOLLOW the VOICE of GOD; elsewhere, some will call, some will use an airplane, some will use a boat on the ocean, and some will use lasers to receive the word of God. ALL will be WORSHIPFUL, and DESIRED, they will ALL BE CLOSE to GOD, and GATHER--GATHER to GOD, and ALL WILL WORSHIP GOD----and ALL of these are GOD'S WORKS. Remember this! GOD WILL NEVER START AGAIN anywhere. ☀️ GOD WILL FULFILL THIS TRUTH: HE WILL MAKE ALL MANKIND IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOLLOW HIM, and WORSHIP GOD ON EARTH, and HIS WORK IN OTHER PLACES WILL STOP, and PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. This will be JOSEPH'S PARABLE: ALL CAME TO HIM for FOOD, and BOWED HIM, because he had FOOD. To AVOID FAMINE, PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. THE WHOLE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY IS SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE HUNGER, and ONLY the GOD of NOW is His FOUNTAIN OF LIFE OF WATER, HAVING AN EVER-FLOWING FOUNTAIN PROVIDED FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF MAN, and PEOPLE WILL COME AND HOPE at His. ☀️🙏 That is the TIME that the WORKS of GOD will be REVEALED, and GOD will be GLORIFIED; ALL PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE will WORSHIP the BUSY--BIGHANING "man." 🙏 Will this not be the day of God's glory? One day, the ELDER SHEPHERDS WILL SEND TELEGRAMS LOOKING FOR WATER from the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATER. They are OLD, but they will still GO to WORSHIP this MAN, whom they DENIED with their MOUTHS they will recognize and in their HEARTS they will TRUST---and is this not a sign and a wonder? ☀️ When the ENTIRE KINGDOM CELEBRATES, it is the DAY OF GOD'S GLORY, and whoever will COME NEAR you and RECEIVE the GOOD NEWS of GOD will be BLESSED by GOD, and these NATIONS and these PEOPLE will be BLESSED and CARED BY GOD . This is the approximate direction: Those who receive the WORDS of GOD from His MOUTH WILL HAVE A WAY TO WALK IN THE WORLD, and whether they are businessmen or scientists, or teachers or workers, those who DO NOT HAVE THE WORDS OF GOD will HARD even at the first step, and they WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. ☀️ This is what it means, "WITH THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH THE WHOLE WORLD; WITHOUT THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH NOTHING." The truth is: GOD WILL USE THE WAY (which means all His words) to RULE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE and RULE and CONQUER MANKIND. 💐🙏 People are always hoping for a big turnaround in God's ways. Simply put, THROUGH WORDS God controls PEOPLE, and you MUST DO what He SAYS whether you want to or not; it is a TRUE PURPOSE, and must be FOLLOWED by ALL, and therefore, also, it is unshakable, and known to all. The HOLY SPIRIT GIVES PEOPLE A FEELING. ☀️🙏 AFTER READING THE WORDS OF GOD, in their HEARTS they will be STRONGER, and PEACEFUL, while PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE WORDS OF GOD FEEL EMPTY. That is the POWER of the WORD of GOD----PEOPLE NEED TO READ it, AFTER they READ it they will be FILLED, and they CANNOT be WITHOUT it. It is LIKE when a MAN INHALES opium: It GIVES them STRENGTH, and without it they are desperate, and powerless. 🙏 That's how people will behave today. READING GOD'S WORDS GIVES PEOPLE STRENGTH. 🙏 If they do NOT READ it, they will be anxious, BUT AFTER they READ it, they will immediately RISE from where they are sitting. This is the MEANING of the KINGDOM of GOD ( the Word ) on EARTH. 💐🙏 There are some people who want to leave, or are tired of God's work. Regardless, they CANNOT TURN AWAY from the WORDS of GOD; NO MATTER HOW WEAK THEY ARE, THEY WILL STILL RELY ON THE WORDS OF GOD TO LIVE, and HOWEVER THEY REBEL, THEY DARE NOT LEAVE THE WORDS OF GOD. THE POWER OF GOD'S WORDS IS REALLY SHOWN when God RULES and EXHIBITS POWER, and THIS IS HOW GOD WORKS. This, AFTER ALL, is the WAY GOD WORKS, and NOTHING CAN BE LEFT OUT. 🙏 Follow page 2 --- From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll.

Small correction: jewish law does make a difference between a murderer and a רוצח בשוגג, a negligent killer, just that the word רוצח is used for both (and an adjective is needed to differentiate the 2)
Being Multi-lingual I discovered, as so many, many people before me that translating from one tongue to another is sometimes near impossible to get it correct. What does what you read or speak mean to you and the native speaker? Knowing the words and order is not enough, you must think in the Language without translating from yours to theirs, knowing why that word.
That's why good translators need to be not only native-level fluent at both the languages involved, but also know the cultures they're both steeped in. I was lucky when I learned English, I had the internet to help my immersion and I'd daresay it's helped me get a feel for the nuances of English enough to (usually) detect the tone the writer intended, because I spent 10 years immersed in the english internet communities. I'm learning Japanese slowly and pretty much repeating the process I used for English, including total immersion. It's always a rougher start, but you only learn the small subtleties and rules from observing them and noticing where you clash and should tweak to fit the "format". I'm kind of grateful that Aramaic, Hebrew and Koine Greek are all preserved well enough to be immersable (is that even a word?) as languages and we can make informed context guesses thanks to a bunch of linguistic and history and anthropology nerds recovering the contemporary knowledge, too.
This thing's not even REMOTELY close. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off, sadly. This is the A.D. Era now. For anyone, praying this all helps. If there’s any “ammo” here that’s either wanted or needed, go for it. As Scripture implies - “Freely you have received, freely give”. (Lest anyone forget that everything, including all of the laws in the Old Testament point to the message of the cross in the New Testament. When Jesus fulfilled all 613 rules of that Mosaic Law (or “Torah”) thing, He rendered it obsolete. That “Mosaic Law” includes the Ten Commandments brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses as well as everything mentioned by the O.T. prophets (Matthew 5:17-20 -- He didn’t ABOLISH any of it but rather FULFILLED all of it. (For more information, see also John 1:17, John 3:1-6, Romans 5:18-21, Romans 10:4, 2 Corinthians 3:4-11, Ephesians 2:14-18, Galatians 2:19-21, Hebrews 7:18-19, Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 8:6, Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 10:8-10 and Hebrews 13:9.)).) It’s only The Holy Spirit Who can guide into all truth (John 14:16-17, 26, John 16:13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-9, Hebrews 4:12). There are no contradictions in Scripture...EVER. “To sanctify” means “to set apart”. “To put to its intended purpose,” in other words. In Hebrews 10:14, “For all time” means (may I have a drumroll, please) “For all time”. (That’s spiritually-speaking, of course. The rest of you? Welcome to being human.) (SIDE NOTE - In some translations, “For all time” is worded as “Forever”, “To the end” or “For eternity”.) Some things regarding someone wrapped up in Judaism (Torah / Mosaic Law): Five requests: Kindly post a picture of your altar along with some photos of yourself as an amputee with no eyes. And WHERE did you say your Day of Atonement was again? Forgot. Oh, and if you would, please, also wouldn’t mind having some photographs of your temporary shelter built above your house built for that 7-day celebration of the Feast of Booths. And then the final request would include those photographs of yourself partaking in the other ceremonies and festivals mentioned. Additionally, as a fifth request, kindly explain why it is that Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils of war to Melchizedek as well as explain why Melchizedek was “the greater” as Hebrews 7:7-11 implies. They ALL need to be followed as perfection is perfection. Thanks much! Since animal sacrifices are a HUGE part of honoring that Mosaic Law, wasn’t aware there was such a thing as cherry picking as to which of the 613 Torah rules one was actually going to follow. Scripture’s quite specific about it: “Be perfect such as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” “If your eye offend you, pluck it out.” “If your hand offend you, chop it off.” In Deuteronomy 27:26, it's quite specific: “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold 100% of the law”. One other side note is just the fact that there’s been any non-Gospel response whatsoever is already less than 100% perfect. Now what? That’s actually why that “Torah” thing exists: It’s to demonstrate how impossible it is to keep perfectly for life as well as to show the need for a savior.
If you please, I would love to see a follow-up video that shows the relationship between "commandments" 1&6, 2&7, 3&8, 4&9 and 5&10. That would be something I would LOVE to learn about. Thank you.
For what it's worth - I don't believe the correspondence is exactly 1&6, 2&7, etc., but I DO believe there is a basic one-for-one correspondence of the two sets to five: Here's a summary of how I've taught it:
@@maggiemae7539 - I think you've misunderstood me. I certainly DO accept these commandments as given to us by God. But Scripture itself does not explicitly list them by number nor state that "#1 corresponds to #6", etc., Yet if we STUDY them carefully, we do indeed see correspondences (part of their beauty and power!) - only they don't match (and don't need to match!) the order of the commandments. I've laid out exactly HOW I see the correspondences above.
I'm halfway Jewish and I knew they were called the "ten axiomatic Divine statements" (roughly) and that, obviously, there are legal executions and warfare in Judaism (same as Christianity, same as Islam). What was new to me was "thou shalt not kidnap". I suppose "theft" derives from midrash? Can you elaborate on this? I'm not Jewish enough, I'm new to this one.
Also, the Exodus 34 version is radically different from the Exodus 20 version. And the E34 version is the only one that refers to itself as THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Actually, Exodus 34 does not contain the same decrees, and the Hebrew in Ex 34:28 says the ten “dabarim”, the ten words. Nevertheless, “word” is a weak and misleading translation for modern English. Remember the phrase “his word is law”. This is what we are talking about with “dabar” or “logos”. These are decrees or commands, not simply light words.
in exodus 20 it also uses the term "devarim" in the verse immediately before the first commandment of "I am the Lord..." It says "God spoke these devarim saying"
I recommend the book "Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril" by David Klinghoffer ( Klinghoffer does an excellent job of explaining from a Jewish perspective the details of each point
Please make more videos! On any topic! I love how you present the material and the degree of detail and thought that went into this one. I was saddened to learn that you've only uploaded 2 videos.
This is one of the most interesting interpretations of scripture, nearly like a codex of sorts...I'd love to see more, the follow up that you mention and the replica tomb. It would be nice to see you walk around these commandments in order to see size etc ..
I grew up nearby that park and, in elementary school, we took a field trip there. We were encouraged to climb all the stairs and pray in the “temple” on the top of the hill. Yes, it was a public school, why do you ask? 😂
@@_magnify You'd be surprised how competitive elementary kids are, I remember that any challenging-looking flight of stairs (or even a ladder or anything remotely climbable) basically would spark an unspoken race to be first to get to the end/top and the only thing standing between civilized man and a stampede of kids were the teachers.
Thank you very much! As someone who grew up Christian and converted to Judaism (kind of like you, but in reverse), I really appreciate you and your information.
I grew up Christian but came to accept and embrace the Jewish history of my Faith and the Jewishness of Jesus Christ. I do not come from the stock of the Patriarchs but I consider myself and other earnest Gospel believers grafted into the Covenants and Faith through Christ. That is why I like to refer to the faith of Yahweh as Judeo/Christian. The difference is the identity of Messiah. I and other Christians and Messianic Jews believe He came as Jesus of Nazareth and will come again and the Orthodox of Judeism do not yet accept that idea. But I still love them for whoever blesses them God will bless.
@@ericdary8041 because they don't believe in the resurrection of Christ. They are still waiting for their messiah. They seem to think Isaiah 54 doesn't exist.
Excellent presentation. I obtained my degree in Religion from a secular university later in life to find to the best of my ability using the best resources available what the evangelist whose words are recorded in the Bible were intended to mean and how their audience would have understood them. To do that I not only had to study early Christianity, but ancient Judaism as well. The vast majority of Christians including clergy think they can read the Bible like yesterday's newspaper without any historical, societal, or Jewish context. The Bible was written by ancient Jews for ancient Jews and NOT for medieval Christians with little or no knowledge of Jewish beliefs and life. Almost all Christian theology has its origins in medieval Roman Catholic doctrine much of which was designed to promote the power of the Church by legitimizing the monarchial system and justifying a "master-servant relationship. Be happy that you are poor and powerless, just do what you are told by your masters and you will be rewarded in the afterlife. What we see today for the most part is Christianity used as an instrument of personal, societal, and political power. The God of Abraham and Jesus of Nazareth aren't the purpose of the church, they are just specially invited guests. I guess some things never change.

Thanks for new insights. But it was a missed opportunity to not mention that the Ritual Decalogue, the set of commandments about religious observances and cooking/eating practices, are the ones said to have been etched in stone. So the stone fragments that melted Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark actually had rules about observing the feast of weeks, and not boiling a calf in its mother's milk.
I would so love to see a follow up video. I just discovered your channel, and it was so synchronistic with where I am at in my own personal studies and journey now.
Wish you would do more long form videos. I get the reels are more engaging with audiences, but I think people will look back at short form content and cringe at the way it’s warped our minds. Regardless, love your content, and keep it coming :)
having just come across your channel recently, I'm playing catch up. I'm appreciating the clarity you're bringing to scripture. In answer to your question, yes I'd be very interested in a follow up video about all 5 connections on the list.
Wow, fantastic channel! I'm in the process of binging 😅 I look forward to your upcoming works. PS in some videos and comments, you have mentioned books; maybe you could make some curated book recommendation videos too? Keep up the amazing work
The more i study and learn the more i realize that our best english translations still leave much to be desired. A strongs concordance is a good start.
Yeah, I don't agree on a lot with Islam, but I can respect keeping their text original. It would also be a good cure for monolingualism, since the Bible is written in several languages.
@matt92hun the old testament portion is only 2, Hebrew, and Aramaic. The new testament is in Greek. With the old testament all the original language is preserved in the masoretic text, and verified by using external sources like the dead sea scrolls, targets, and all sorts of hebrew writings. The only thing we English speakers have to worry about is bad translations, and our own erroneous ideas about their culture. Still a lot though.
@@michaelabraham9177 as an amateur translator: that "only" is about as small as the grand canyon. You have to worry about the contemporary sayings and turns of phrase, any popular shorthand/common wisdom, sometimes there's also wordplay, and then you have implied patterns that you only get from knowing the contemporary wisdom and now-obscure stuff. Sometimes the best bet is to transliterate and annotate, and then offer a localization instead of trying to translate directly (which will ALWAYS lose nuance-- transliteration preserves all the possibilities via the book's worth of translators' notes, while localization preserves the feel that was meant the best, a translation is always a poor middleman between exactness and the soul of the text). (Sorry, as someone learning his third language (Japanese, after french and English), translating is a bit of a passion for me when I see how English translations of a lot of French texts sucked the soul out of it that a bit of a localizing flourish would have preserved.)
The duplicate tablet idea is extra biblical. All interpretations have been the 10 laws written across two tablets. Also the separation of five and five is not universal. I grew up hearing about the two tables, one being 1-4 about man’s relationship with God and two being 5-10 man’s to each other.
@@davidweihe6052nope because Moses broke the first one when he saw them worshipping the golden calf 😂 but you would know that if you had "'actually read the book" 😂
This is what I’ve always found interesting about groups like Quakers who believe that only the Bible and the Word of God is infallible, but just by the basis of translation, the Bible has been changed many times. This doesn’t even count for intentional changes by corrupt priests who want to lie and manipulate.
Yes, I am interested in the connections between pairs of commandments, and also in how such patterns fits into a bigger cultural picture. For example, people have pointed out a similar structure in the days of creation.
This was interesting. I've always been amazed on how relative to the culture a translation tends to be. Especially when religion is involved it seems that the translation seems to lean towards the translators desired phrase rather than an exacting translation true to the source.
Language has that feature and bug about it. You will only use words in so many ways for so many purposes and some words lose/change meaning over time. It isn't a bad thing but it is one of the first questions you have to ask, albeit a question that comes off as pedantic because language is usually a culturally agreed upon thing ("why would you ask that? Everyone knows xyz word means abc concept"). If I have to follow God's laws then I need to know what those laws are and what those laws aren't.

I love videos like this, I have a strong's concordance of the original Hebrew chaladan and Greek words so i like knowing the original words. I use it when I practice preaching at the Church
The bit about the tablets being duplicates was something that actually came up in the Methodist church I went to. The teacher brought up the Mel Brooks clip, where Moses has 15 commandments before dropping a tablet, as why duplicate tablets would be a good idea. Man is falliable, stone can shatter, and these things were meant to handed down.
@@yourmum69_420 Taken by the Roman Empire and then lost. The Romans weren't exactly known for labeling and cataloging every treasure they stole. Heck, they could be at some senator's summer house in Pompeii. Wouldn't that be something?
First time I have heard about the correlations of looking through to the other side, very very interesting, thank you. I just seen a video about the Egyptians carving stuff on both sides of a wall and it was meant be kind of translucent to create a deeper meaning for those who knew how to read it. Since Moses was educated by the Egyptian upper echelon, that brings in a whole deeper meaning to it all, thank you again.
The Hebrew word translated as Steal does mean to steal according to every concordance. It can also mean kidnap which is the same thing only refers to the stealing of a person instead of property. It appears in the Bible 39 times and in some instances it refers to stealing stuff and in some instances it refers to kidnapping people.
Is it kidnapping if you pay for the people? The Bible seems really ok with infringing on other peoples' free will, as long as you pay for it. This whole book is complete BS.
I grew up in the Jewish tradition and I never heard that interpretation either. Wikipedia (yeah, I know) points to _Sanhedrin 86a_ and _that_ says that, in context, the prohibition refers to a capital crime, which would be kidnapping, and not stealing.
I have often heard the "do not kidnap" translation in a - did you know - kind of way. And the prohibition of stealing property is "don't steal=לא תגנובו" as mentioned in פרשת קדושים or Leviticus 19, 11

Thankyou. Old covenant vs New covenant. So many denominations try to blend the two. What does Jeremiah 31 say? The new is not like the old. You cannot put new wine into an old wine skin or a new patch on an old garment.
The issue I have with videos like these is that it goes from interesting tidbits to extreme claims like “with 4 of the 10 commandments not how the Jews view them are we even talking about the same thing”. This then tries to fuel doubt in those who aren’t as versed in this topic. First the claim that 4 commandments are different is a pedantic one. Our bibles do not lay out the 10 commandments or 10 words in a certain way. So it’s up to the reader to organize them. So the first word/commandment is not “different” in that sense. The “thou shall no kill/kidnap”, while interesting is simply a translation choice. As one studies their Bible and looks at original languages this could be an interesting point to consider. But far from makes this section of the Bible “something completely different” (paraphrasing). Even things like the curvature of the tablets in pop culture, have nothing to do with the careful Bible reader.
Curious that there should be this textual controversy over theft vs. kidnapping. Because, when one thinks about it, the entire Decalogue can be interpreted through the lens of theft: 1) Do not rob God of the worship rightfully owed Him. 2) Do not rob the Creator of spiritual majesty by reducing Him to mere creature. 3) Do not steal from God's reputation by misrepresenting Him. 4) Do not steal from yourselves the Holy rest that is yours to take. 5) Do not deprive your father and mother of the respect and honor that is due them. 6) Do not steal a person's life. 7) Do not cheat any neighbors of the sanctity of their marriage. 8) Do not steal. Or in this video's case for kidnapping, "Do not rob a person of their freedom." 9) Do not rob the public square of truth. 10) Do not covet, which is the heart's prelude to all theft.
The aspect I find the most interesting is the last commandment, about not coveting. The Swedish translation says that "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, slave, donkey, oxen or anything else belonging to thy neighbour", roughly. First of all it implies an ownership of your wife, second of all it establishes that people can be owned in the form of slavery. Some translations nowadays goes by "servant" instead of "slave".
No. The final commandment is about temptation, specifically envy, lust and greed, which lead to violating earlier ones if taken to their logical conclusion: "Do not covet your neighbour's wife" means don't drool over a married woman (Jesus elaborates that lusting is already committing adultery in your heart), nothing to do with ownership. Not covering someone's house, cattle, or property is self-explanatory, and not desiring someone's servants can be still applied to office jobs in a "don't headhunt and try to buy out competitor's employees" way.
Actually, nowadays in Hebrew, you could call these "The Ten Commandments" or "The Ten Verses" - עשרת הדברות or עשרת הדברים, respectively, though I think what you said is right in the sense that in the original text, they are referred to as verses.
In ancient Mesopotamia, business contracts were drawn up first on wax or clay tablets. The parties then made revisions, after which the first copy was broken and the final draft was made on the clay or stone that served as the permanent contract.
How would you describe differences between Islam and Christianity, from personal experience? I was born into a Christian family on my mother's side and a Muslim family from my father's, and converted to Buddhism about five years ago
Islam and Christianity are just about equally ridiculous and negative, with bits and pieces of positivity strewn among the psychological hangups. They are practically two denominations of the same neurosis. Taken as a whole they are a blight on humanity.

I love the quote near the end. In the fundamentalist church I was brought up in, there was an almost exclusive focus on the individual's relationship with God. Yes, you were told to put others before yourself, but this was a matter of pleasing God and building your personal relationship with Christ. When you get the message that everything you think, say and do is about you and your God, other people exist for you mainly as a way to practice your faith. Your behavior towards them can then easily end up coming from a place of duty and detachment, instead of joy and love.
It's so unfortunate that the term 'fundamentalist' these days means 'people *without* the fundamentals' rather than with.
To some people, I feel like God may seperate them from being good people. - Well, God does not. But their belief does.
There's actually a complete other point of view in Judaism, whatever the denomination. For example, the biggest holiday in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, comes after the end of the last month of the Jewish year (which makes it the beginning of the next Jewish year, but that's not the point). During this holiday, you have to ask God for forgiveness for every wrongdoing you've done him.
But, during the last month of the year, which ends 10 days before, you have to ask forgiveness for wrongdoing other people, and try to make those right.
Why? Because it's more important to be right to people than to God, and He might not forgive you if you haven't corrected your wrongs to others first.

I never heard the "kidnap" versus "steal" thing as a question of translation before so I found that interesting. It was always my understanding that "steal" referred to taking anything that you were no entitled to so it included stealing, or kidnapping, a person. It could also be interpreted as prohibiting "rape" because that steals someone's honor or bodily autonomy. Murder is the closest word we have for unethical killing so that's why modern English translations say "murder." Besides, people are instructed to "kill" with some regularity in the Bible.
Yeah that kinda blew my mind for a while! I think it’s interesting that in a more consumerist society, we see kidnapping as a *kind* of stealing, but in these older cultures, stealing was a *kind* of kidnapping.

I worked in NYC long ago and a Hasidim friend of mine were talking about the "commandments". He mentioned that God's first commandment was to "increase and multiply". As someone with a smattering of Christianity this took me by surprise, but of course, it's right there in Genesis, I couldn't argue. And he really took it to heart. He had eight kids!
Gods first command was “Let there be light”.
Yes your right, but His first commandment to humanity is to Be Fruitful and Multiply.
There a LOT of commandments. The Ten Commandments is a shorthand phrase for the specific commands given at Mt. Sinai to the children of Israel after the exodus. Let’s not forget that.

The grammatical differences are enlightening. The part about two copies one for you one for the king is mind blowing. The two copies makes it a conract between you and God.
But then why would Moses be given both copies and not told why? One for inside the tabernacle's/temple's Holy of Holies and one for outside perhaps? We can't know, of course, but it would make sense if each tablet truly had all ten commandments, but we can't know that, either.
It's really interesting learning that differences between the languages, I'm from Spain and here the first commandment it's "Amarás a Dios sobre todas las cosas" which it's translated to: You will love God over every thing.

Same as in Portuguese, hermano.
As a person that loves other languages, and learns other meanings daily, I agree.
Even translating Portuguese to English doesn't always work.
How does something translated across 3 or 4 languages retain meaning?
It doesn't. The English version is entirely manipulated to fit a King's agenda. Some are better than others, some deserve to be slaves. Does that sound like God's word? I don't think so.
I find that idea both fascinating and beautiful. Thank you for posting. Have a great New Year - whoever you are!
@fredrossi1334 LOL, which "English version" are you talking about? There are about 6 dozen, last I checked. 😂

100% I attended an Orthodox shul for over a year and the actual translations vs. how we are used to hearing them really blew my mind.
They have a far better understanding of the Hebrew language. Some of the Bible translations used today were based off of other translations from Greek or Roman, or translations of translations. And we also have to remember what the Bible was originally used for by the Romans that created it. They created it and murdered every Christian they found that would not allow them to burn every other book they used, and executed every other Christian that refused to say their creed.
I don't believe that tale of Roman soldiers and early Christian. Paper was precious, a whole Bible or just one Gospel would be ridiculously expensive. There weren't even a set of accepted books in the New Testament, that would come with the Council of Nicea. There were books, many from the Nag Hamadi, like the Gospel of Jesus, and the gospel of Mary Magdeline. And soldiers wouldn't antagonize Jews by threatening to burn their books basically all of the Old Testament. Also I think the majority of Christian converts weren't even literate! Really the whole thing seems fictional. Also The Jews understand Hebrew, period. Hardly any Christian do. So it's not they understand "better", they(at least Orthodox Jews) understand, period. We don't. Where did you learn this stuff?
@@Xander1Sheridan anti-Christian violence in Rome is overstated
@@nathanlevesque7812 correct. christians were generally accepted in pre-christian rome. with a few noteable and brutal exception.
the idea that christians were brutally supressed until thry suddenly became state religion is just completely wrong.
@@squirlmy given Christian's history of a martyrdom complex to both pretend to be oppressed in modern times and to justify their missionaries' actual crimes(a lot of missionary offerings involve not mentioning stuff like weapons smuggling or attempting to contact uncontacted indigenous people who could be susceptible to modern plagues), I have a hard time believing pretty much any of early Christian 'history' as told by the church and pretty much nobody else.
I remember reading selections from the Torah for my human civilizations course in college. It was interesting, because the text itself was familiar to me, as a Christian, but when we discussed it in class, we learned about it from a Jewish perspective, which was less familiar. It was pretty interesting.
I'm glad they did that. Many people think that Judaism is Christianity-lite, the same, but without Jesus. And it really isn't.
Judaism has had 3000 years to examine, discuss, argue about and embroider its concepts and many would be incomprehensible to the average person who hasn't been immersed in it.
"You Christians have got to stop reading the Old Testament. You don't understand it. It's not your book." Lewis Black.
@@RobMacKendrick Actually, according to God it is very much a book for Christians. That's what the entire New Testament says over and over again. But what any man says who is not led of the Holy Spirit, esp in the modern day, counts for nothing. Especially Lewis Black, who is currently a worldly and ungodly man. So his opinion counts for nothing.
@@davidm5707 Post-Christian Judaism is a pale shadow, a false works-based religion, which holds elements of the pre-Christian Mosaic covenant religion established at Mt. Sinai in Arabia. In other words the Jews changed their own religion after the destruction of the Second Temple - it is no longer the religion of the Old Testament. Nor can it be, because the sacrificial system is dead - nor can that system be ever in affect again - even when the Third Temple is rebuilt and the sacrifices start again - because Jesus fulfilled the law, and thus the Temple is no longer necessary. God no longer needs to be 'present' in a Temple, as it was in the Mosaic covenant religion, but within any person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Which the Jews strangely reject today - yet their very scripture, the Old Testament, testified for over 2000 years that that is exactly what God always had in mind, and not only for the Jews/Hebrews, but for ALL mankind: for God to live WITHIN man, thus transforming man from the inside out. Which is of course what we have already seen in Christianity, with those who truly submitted to God, and led/lead godly lives.

I LOVE your bible translation videos and shorts! Thanks so much for putting so much research and time into this!
I would love to hear more about the connection between the 5 pairs, this was quite informative!
Would also be interesting to hear more about the missing 5 of 15 commandments, lol
@houstoneuler I found a source that says:
Thou shall not put toilet paper in a rolling under position
Thou shall not wear brown shoes with a black suit
Thou shall not take 2 parking spaces at Walmart (unless you need to and have parked in far side of the lot)
Thou shall not button the top button of any shirt unless wearing a tie
There are no rules

Great vid, I learned a few things just now, thanks.
Personally, I always disliked it when people told me "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" means that you're not supposed to swear. There's so much more to this verse. People with power in church, usually expected to speak the words of God, they are expected to speak in His name. I feel that this commandment tells us to speak the words He wants us to speak, and never pretend that we do while we're pushing our own ideas. Everyone who speaks in church should ask himself: Am I actually saying what God wants me to say, or am I using His name in vain by saying my/wordly things?
Yeah. And also something like "The Word of God is important, do not take it lightly"?
I've long interpreted it as not using God's *reputation* to promote your own ends/ideas -- most egregiously when a priest/pastor tries to swindle the congregation with "God granted me a vision that we'll collectively raise five million dollars to build this thing----" Names are synonymous with reputation, and it's not cool to use someone's reputation in a way they wouldn't approve of.
I don't see the word "god" as God's name, really. I realize that many people think that saying "oh my god" is blasphemy or whatever, but to me, if they're a believer then they'll answer to God for what was in their hearts at the time, and if they're not a believer then they're not referring to the same god in any case. I don't myself swear like that (I rarely swear at all), but it doesn't bother me as much as it does, say, my mom. And I do think it's telling that humanity commonly cries out to god in their most painful or troubling moments, even if they don't believe in him -- it's embedded in so many languages. Dios mio!

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man"
"The Millennial Kingdom has come" . ... (when Moses was in the forest, God directly instructed and spoke to him. From the sky God sent food, water, and manna and it is still like this today. It will be like Joseph: Everything came to him and bowed down, for he had food.)
Almighty God said
Have you seen what WORK of GOD WILL BE FULFILLED in this GROUP of PEOPLE? God once said, even in the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, PEOPLE SHOULD STILL FOLLOW HIS WORDS and CONTINUE, and in the FUTURE, the WORD OF GOD WILL DIRECTLY GUIDE HUMAN LIFE TO THE GOOD LAND OF CANAAN. 🙏
When Moses was in the forest, God instructed and spoke directly to him. From HEAVEN GOD SENT FOOD, WATER, and MANNA for MAN to ENJOY, and it is STILL LIKE THIS TODAY: GOD PERSONALLY SET THE THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO EAT and DRINK to ENJOY, and He PERSONALLY sent curses to punish people. And so every step of His WORK is PERSONALLY FULFILLED by GOD.
NOW, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING for the truths to happen again, they are trying to see signs and wonders, and those people can be neglected, because the work of God is the one that is gradually being verified.
NO ONE KNOWS that GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, they still do not KNOW that GOD SENDS FOOD and DRINK from HEAVEN----thus, He is the REAL LIVING ONE, and the pleasant SCENES of the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM that what PEOPLE think are also PERSONAL WORDS of GOD. ☀️
This is the truth, and only this exists with God on earth. God's existence on earth refers to the flesh.
Those who are not of the flesh are not on earth, and thus all those who focus on going to the third heaven are acting in vain.
One day, when the entire universe returns to God, the CENTER of His WORK in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE will FOLLOW the VOICE of GOD; elsewhere, some will call, some will use an airplane, some will use a boat on the ocean, and some will use lasers to receive the word of God. ALL will be WORSHIPFUL, and DESIRED, they will ALL BE CLOSE to GOD, and GATHER--GATHER to GOD, and ALL WILL WORSHIP GOD----and ALL of these are GOD'S WORKS. Remember this!
GOD WILL NEVER START AGAIN anywhere. ☀️
GOD WILL FULFILL THIS TRUTH: HE WILL MAKE ALL MANKIND IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOLLOW HIM, and WORSHIP GOD ON EARTH, and HIS WORK IN OTHER PLACES WILL STOP, and PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. This will be JOSEPH'S PARABLE: ALL CAME TO HIM for FOOD, and BOWED HIM, because he had FOOD.
To AVOID FAMINE, PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. THE WHOLE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY IS SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE HUNGER, and ONLY the GOD of NOW is His FOUNTAIN OF LIFE OF WATER, HAVING AN EVER-FLOWING FOUNTAIN PROVIDED FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF MAN, and PEOPLE WILL COME AND HOPE at
His. ☀️🙏
That is the TIME that the WORKS of GOD will be REVEALED, and GOD will be GLORIFIED; ALL PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE will WORSHIP the BUSY--BIGHANING "man." 🙏
Will this not be the day of God's glory?
One day, the ELDER SHEPHERDS WILL SEND TELEGRAMS LOOKING FOR WATER from the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATER. They are OLD, but they will still GO to WORSHIP this MAN, whom they DENIED with their MOUTHS they will recognize and in their HEARTS they will TRUST---and is this not a sign and a wonder? ☀️
When the ENTIRE KINGDOM CELEBRATES, it is the DAY OF GOD'S GLORY, and whoever will COME NEAR you and RECEIVE the GOOD NEWS of GOD will be BLESSED by GOD, and these NATIONS and these PEOPLE will be BLESSED and CARED BY GOD . This is the approximate direction: Those who receive the WORDS of GOD from His MOUTH WILL HAVE A WAY TO WALK IN THE WORLD, and whether they are businessmen or scientists, or teachers or workers, those who DO NOT HAVE THE WORDS OF GOD will HARD even at the first step, and they WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. ☀️
This is what it means, "WITH THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH THE WHOLE WORLD; WITHOUT THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH NOTHING." The truth is: GOD WILL USE THE WAY (which means all His words) to RULE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE and RULE and CONQUER MANKIND. 💐🙏
People are always hoping for a big turnaround in God's ways. Simply put, THROUGH WORDS God controls PEOPLE, and you MUST DO what He SAYS whether you want to or not; it is a TRUE PURPOSE, and must be FOLLOWED by ALL, and therefore, also, it is unshakable, and known to all.
The HOLY SPIRIT GIVES PEOPLE A FEELING. ☀️🙏
AFTER READING THE WORDS OF GOD, in their HEARTS they will be STRONGER, and PEACEFUL, while PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE WORDS OF GOD FEEL EMPTY. That is the POWER of the WORD of GOD----PEOPLE NEED TO READ it, AFTER they READ it they will be FILLED, and they CANNOT be WITHOUT it. It is LIKE when a MAN INHALES opium: It GIVES them STRENGTH, and without it they are desperate, and powerless. 🙏
That's how people will behave today.
READING GOD'S WORDS GIVES PEOPLE STRENGTH. 🙏
If they do NOT READ it, they will be anxious, BUT AFTER they READ it, they will immediately RISE from where they are sitting. This is the MEANING of the KINGDOM of GOD ( the Word ) on EARTH. 💐🙏
There are some people who want to leave, or are tired of God's work. Regardless, they CANNOT TURN AWAY from the WORDS of GOD; NO MATTER HOW WEAK THEY ARE, THEY WILL STILL RELY ON THE WORDS OF GOD TO LIVE, and HOWEVER THEY REBEL, THEY DARE NOT LEAVE THE WORDS OF GOD. THE POWER OF GOD'S WORDS IS REALLY SHOWN when God RULES and EXHIBITS POWER, and THIS IS HOW GOD WORKS. This, AFTER ALL, is the WAY GOD WORKS, and NOTHING CAN BE LEFT OUT. 🙏

The truth is stranger than fiction it’s obvious and just plain common sense and real true spirit with discernment and the eyes are useless, when the mind is blind…..Moses has a speech impediment that most people could not understand that’s why his brother spoke for him and not Moses….and be careful why the Bible was written by the Freemasons but left some words from creator above but again very little why it’s to be decode of its signs symbols and numbers(gematria)….try not to take it face value….like King James who is a freemason in Scotland 🏴 and started lodges in Scotland, and Sir Francis beacon who wrote it and himself is one too….and Jesus/Christ died at the age of 33 and that’s the highest form to freemason 33 degree 📜…..read Amos 5:25-27 and Acts 7:43…..and the Star of David is not his star it’s Remphan/moloch and the Jews are not the the chosen people even the Jews say it too….. and Christ was not Jewish either it’s always been there read it all,and don’t skip pages….research no please research 🔬 into the rabbit holes 🕳 you may not like what you see or hear…..research for the true Christ and Creator above this world and universe and not the prince/Christ/anti Christ of this world……remember lucifer/prince has many signs and symbols and numbers…..and the Creator above this world and universe has only one symbol……Lucifer gives you the fish…..the true Christ/Creator above this world and universe teaches you how to fish….and it’s not God either why it’s a lower form to Dog see it……it’s Creator/Great Spirit above this world and universe

@@jonashassel5404 I got through the first couple sentences. Then I got bored of your copy-paste.
Yes, please do a follow up of the other sayings... This was wonderfully made and extremely interesting
The bit toward the end where the video clip was talking about love being about recognizing that the other person exists as their own person apart from you... hit home really hard. That would be a fundamental element of why my marriage failed, as my wife could never really... separate her view of how things should be and should be done from her valuation of me as a human being. On multiple occasions, she talked about things between us in terms of "If you were an employer who had an employee who kept underperforming in their job, what would you do?" The implication is that, logically, I would fire them. I'm pretty darn certain that she never really understood the toxicity of that view, and I can't say that I think she ever will. In any event, I love this video, because far too many people only see what are... fundamentally historical documents through their own limited modern lenses.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about. Different translations having different meanings changing the context of the message. Thank you for the video!
Even within the same culture and language, the translations can differ. Or at least the numbering can; I'm told the Catholics and the Protestants have different traditions, so when you speak of "Commandment #8" you could be talking about two different things.
@@benjaminrobinson3842 It depends on the kind of protestants. Protestants after Luther have a very similar numbering as the catholic church, with the only difference is what is part of the 9th and 10th amendment (Wikipedia has a good list diagram about it).
But I think it makes most sense how protestants after Calvin see it, with the 1st after the catholic church being split to the 1st "No other gods" and the 2nd "No praying to pictures and statues" and 9th and 10th after the catholic church being just the 10th "No desire for something that belongs to your neighbor".
In the end the ten commandments are just a simplification of Ex 20,2-17.
Translation is so dang complicated, especially with philosophical texts... My Ancient Western Philosophy professor opened the first class by live translating a commonly-known text and having us guess what it was. None of us recognized it as the opening lines of the Gospel of John, because his translation was so dramatically different from the version we were all familiar with. A lot of his discussions of the Bible (and other philosophical texts) hinged on the word "logos", which is usually translated as "word," but is SO much deeper and more complicated than that. It is logic and reason, it's discourse and argument, it's knowledge and wisdom and understanding... you could even connect it to the light of creation. Translating it simply as "word" loses so much nuance; knowing the full meaning adds so much depth.
So yeah, translation can absolutely totally change the meaning of something. In the process of seeking to make a text more understandable to readers of a different language and even age and culture, we end up accidentally totally transforming what we read. Translation is an art, not a science!
Logos is used to refer to the constant, written word. As in the word of God in the Bible.
There is also rhema, which refers to the instant, personal speaking of God to us, depending on personal relationship with God. They tie together deeply and it's interesting and moving.
It is even more dramatic relating to Chinese. Compare two translations of the "art of war" from Su Tzu.
@@albertmagician8613 That is why I try to read Tao-te-ting in Chinese with all those commentaries and translations and Chinese too, of course. It is really hard but so much better than just reading a translation. Each and every one misses something important.
This is why original texts must be periodically translated into the vernacular. Words change meaning over time (witness "gay"). These translations must be made by scholars of the original language and by those who are un-biased. I have read that the word "maiden" (simply an unmarried woman) was mis-translated into "virgin." Leading to a whole cult of beliefs.
@@lanierosenberg I 100% agree. This is why I was really excited when new translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey came out recently. There were a few negative reviews about certain passages feeling "too" modern, but I'm genuinely intrigued to see how Emily Wilson handled them. Modern CAN be good, if a modern idiom or reference can carry the meaning better than older language that doesn't "click" anymore.
I also have thoughts about the changing meaning of words. My favorite example is "tyrannos". The modern word "tyrant" has a very negative connotation, but the ancient Greek "tyrannos" did not. It just meant a ruler who had seized power instead of inheriting it, and often that tyrant came into power with the support of the people. You can see this in the title of a famous play, which we now call "Oedipus Rex" or "Oedipus the King," which in ancient Greek was titled "Oedipus Tyrannos." Oedipus was a very popular ruler of Thebes because he saved them from the sphinx. At least until the "killed his father and married his mother" thing came to light...
But back to history instead of mythology. In fact, tyrants often remained popular through much of their rule, because they understood that they wouldn't be in power without popular support, so they were careful to remain just and moderate. The biggest historical example of this is Peisistratus, a tyrant of Athens who went down in history for the way he stood up for the lower classes and enacted massive economic and cultural improvements, laying the groundwork for Athens to become so preeminent in the ancient world.
Unfortunately, when he passed his power down to his sons, it did not last. After one son was assassinated over a lover's quarrel (look up the Tyrannicides, great story), the other son became paranoid, oppressing the people and killing many of them. My professor said this sort of thing happened multiple times: a tyrant took power and treated the people well because he understood he had nothing without them... but his children, lacking that context, abused their power and sullied their reputation, until they too were overthrown. It eventually happened enough that "tyrant" came into modern parlance to mean an autocratic, oppressive ruler.
Language and etymology are fascinating. ☺️

Raised as a Christian, I always enjoy listening to a Jewish scholar. It brings a different and often clearer perspective to the roots and intent of teachings. I’m no longer a believer yet I am a believer in the wisdom of the teachings.
i consider myself an irreligious person
but with such a love for learning about religion, not entirely sure why
but the quality of your content is probably gonna keep that love flowing
keep doing what you’re doing!❤️
Religious belief is a very human thing, like music. So even if you consider yourself to have no personal religious beliefs it is still an interesting psychological aspect that most other people do have.
@@boggisthecat tell me more, do you find religion shows up in less overt ways in the irreligious? or is it more like you expect most people to have some kind of relationship with religion
Scripture tells us that all of creation testifies to the existence of God. Therefore there is no excuse for any of us not knowing God is there.
@@michaelmwangi8845
There does seem to be a propensity for religious belief in humans, just as there is a propensity for music. The people studying how our minds work may eventually figure this out, but there are some reasonably good suggestions based upon a requirement to be ‘wired’ this way for sociability and thus survival.
I was an atheist in my early life, but became a Christian in my early twenties, by the way. (Yes, we do exist.)

That’s a self-referential claim, though. Buddhists have similar claims, with an argument that there is no God.
I've known about the difference in 6 for most of my life, and learned about the 1/2 difference a few years ago. I was surprised to learn about 8. I finished the video being surprised there weren't more differences.
What surprised me most about 8 was not only the shifting of societal values toward material, but if the deeper hierarchal implications.
God shall make laws for his people, and people shall make laws for their things.
I love historical theology. There are so many things lost to context which must be understood to get the full meaning from the Scripture.
That is wrong. You are incapable of mining a better relationship with God. Nothing is lost if you follow the holy spirit
@@michaelmalone3138 Learning the meaning of the language used in the scriptures is part of the quest of understanding what God's gospel means. God gave us brains. Did he do that without purpose? What better purpose could there be than to use His gifts to help us get closer to him?
@@DARIVSARCHITECTVS It brings no new revelation or understanding. they add no clarity. Should i learn aramaic in order that i too can be tuned into a closer relationship with God. All of this is for your own ego and leads to alienating weaker people so you can shine, We have brains yes but to be the fool squandering his life on "where did God come from" is a wasted journey. The holy spirit leads us through prayer and study of the word.This is why scripture is written so well it leaves multiple meaning to different people.All spirit lead.
@@michaelmalone3138no, THIS is wrong. No matter what you believe, living without contemplation and self reflection will lead to corruption.

I love the typo in the third word - or is it a typo?
I’d definitely be interested a second video explaining the differences 🥰
Seconded
It's always interesting to see the root of these kinds of things. Though some might reject it because it's "not what [they] were taught in school/church" today, many of these details actually flesh out and make the religion at its core seem far more complex, beautiful and compassionate. And I say this both as someone who is very much not religious and has personally seen people related to me twist and misuse this very religion (or at least its modern interpretation) to their own ends.
Christians are more inclined to dismiss it not just because it is different than what they were taught but because the Hebrew scholarship of modern Judaism is not normally their reference point. One Rabbi, whom we believe to be the Messiah, is the Christian reference point and His take is that they are commandments (Greek, ἐντολὰς), and in citing them, He unsurprisingly quotes the main commandment in question in this video as, "Do not steal" (Greek κλέπτω in Luke 18:20, repeated by the Apostle in Romans 13:9), not narrowed only to "do not kidnap," and this is further supported as not unique to either Jesus or the Apostles of that time by the text of Exodus 20 in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Scriptures that was made by Jewish scholars well before Jesus' time.
Beautiful presentation. I think a lot of folks unfamiliar with the bible miss the idea you kicked off with…the Covenant. All things flow from that in both an existential and spiritual sense. Many of these commandments are common sense middle ground between people who may not recognize a relationship with God. In such an instance, the desire to discover and be known to represent the highest good in one’s actions is still present. However, there is no replacement for the insurance that comes from a personal and conscious relationship with God. I say this as someone who studied the sciences for many years. Despite all of the wonder and knowledge there is an ultimate lack of answer to the question why do I exist conscious of the fact that I woke up this morning and drew breath. Still Love the sciences, but science with miracles is arguably better.
Sorry to ramble. Thanks again for your lead.
god is imaginary, there is no covenant. and as far as the commandments go, i have more rights than god.

4:04 The verse לא תרצח can't be translated as "no killing". It is actually the imperfect aspect of masculine 2nd person, therefore should be translate as "you shall not murder".
Do you honestly believe the Hebrew vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of today is exactly the same as it was 6,000 years ago? The English we use today is very different than the English we used just 100 years ago, and very different 200, 300, 400, years, etc. and you'd hear something more akin to German. "Unethical killing" is the closest meaning, apart from ethical killing, which god commanded several times (book of Samuel for 1 example) according to scriptures. The word we use for unethical killing today is murder, however, 6000 years ago and as far as we can know, "unethical killing" seems to make more sense for then. The semantics of ancient languages and understanding them today as they were used then is not a perfect science.
@@MarkLewis... First, Torah was compliled approximately 2500 years ago, not 6000. Second, the "aspect" is a grammatical concept in the Biblical Hebrew, and it doesn't exist in the Modern Hebrew. Yes, I was trying to explain by Biblical Hebrew
As for semantic meaning, the verb לרצוח specifically means to murder, implying intentional and premeditated killing of another human being, and carries a strong negative connotation, while the verb להרוג is a more general term for taking a life of animals or another human being, accidentally or at war. That's why the translation "You shall not murder" sounds okay to me.
@@RM-hu9sd It's not about the "Torah", it's about the language- Hebrew. Your argument is invalid. Hebrew has changed as it is understood now to 6000 years ago, when all of those stories were compiled for the Torah. So, to hold archaic and very ancient Hebrew to the interpretations of today is folly.
@@MarkLewis... You know nothing about Hebrew, do you? And where did you get the number 6000??
The field of the woods is indeed a nice place to visit, been there twice.

@@warrenatchley1921 church of God of prophecy. I started going to it in 76.
Interesting thing i learned from Dr. Michael Heiser is that between Jewish translations and traditions plus different Christian denominations, you can find 13 commandments
Even in the bible there is a different set of ten commandments in Exodus 34: 17-26.
I like the Idea of Back to back copy of two tablet just like in our present times, we have 2 copies of the same documents, one for the Authority and one for Personal.
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man"
"The Millennial Kingdom has come" . ... (when Moses was in the forest, God directly instructed and spoke to him. From the sky God sent food, water, and manna and it is still like this today. It will be like Joseph: Everything came to him and bowed down, for he had food.)
Almighty God said
Have you seen what WORK of GOD WILL BE FULFILLED in this GROUP of PEOPLE? God once said, even in the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, PEOPLE SHOULD STILL FOLLOW HIS WORDS and CONTINUE, and in the FUTURE, the WORD OF GOD WILL DIRECTLY GUIDE HUMAN LIFE TO THE GOOD LAND OF CANAAN. 🙏
When Moses was in the forest, God instructed and spoke directly to him. From HEAVEN GOD SENT FOOD, WATER, and MANNA for MAN to ENJOY, and it is STILL LIKE THIS TODAY: GOD PERSONALLY SET THE THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO EAT and DRINK to ENJOY, and He PERSONALLY sent curses to punish people. And so every step of His WORK is PERSONALLY FULFILLED by GOD.
NOW, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING for the truths to happen again, they are trying to see signs and wonders, and those people can be neglected, because the work of God is the one that is gradually being verified.
NO ONE KNOWS that GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, they still do not KNOW that GOD SENDS FOOD and DRINK from HEAVEN----thus, He is the REAL LIVING ONE, and the pleasant SCENES of the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM that what PEOPLE think are also PERSONAL WORDS of GOD. ☀️
This is the truth, and only this exists with God on earth. God's existence on earth refers to the flesh.
Those who are not of the flesh are not on earth, and thus all those who focus on going to the third heaven are acting in vain.
One day, when the entire universe returns to God, the CENTER of His WORK in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE will FOLLOW the VOICE of GOD; elsewhere, some will call, some will use an airplane, some will use a boat on the ocean, and some will use lasers to receive the word of God. ALL will be WORSHIPFUL, and DESIRED, they will ALL BE CLOSE to GOD, and GATHER--GATHER to GOD, and ALL WILL WORSHIP GOD----and ALL of these are GOD'S WORKS. Remember this!
GOD WILL NEVER START AGAIN anywhere. ☀️
GOD WILL FULFILL THIS TRUTH: HE WILL MAKE ALL MANKIND IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOLLOW HIM, and WORSHIP GOD ON EARTH, and HIS WORK IN OTHER PLACES WILL STOP, and PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. This will be JOSEPH'S PARABLE: ALL CAME TO HIM for FOOD, and BOWED HIM, because he had FOOD.
To AVOID FAMINE, PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. THE WHOLE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY IS SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE HUNGER, and ONLY the GOD of NOW is His FOUNTAIN OF LIFE OF WATER, HAVING AN EVER-FLOWING FOUNTAIN PROVIDED FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF MAN, and PEOPLE WILL COME AND HOPE at
His. ☀️🙏
That is the TIME that the WORKS of GOD will be REVEALED, and GOD will be GLORIFIED; ALL PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE will WORSHIP the BUSY--BIGHANING "man." 🙏
Will this not be the day of God's glory?
One day, the ELDER SHEPHERDS WILL SEND TELEGRAMS LOOKING FOR WATER from the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATER. They are OLD, but they will still GO to WORSHIP this MAN, whom they DENIED with their MOUTHS they will recognize and in their HEARTS they will TRUST---and is this not a sign and a wonder? ☀️
When the ENTIRE KINGDOM CELEBRATES, it is the DAY OF GOD'S GLORY, and whoever will COME NEAR you and RECEIVE the GOOD NEWS of GOD will be BLESSED by GOD, and these NATIONS and these PEOPLE will be BLESSED and CARED BY GOD . This is the approximate direction: Those who receive the WORDS of GOD from His MOUTH WILL HAVE A WAY TO WALK IN THE WORLD, and whether they are businessmen or scientists, or teachers or workers, those who DO NOT HAVE THE WORDS OF GOD will HARD even at the first step, and they WILL BE FORCED TO FIND THE TRUE PATH. ☀️
This is what it means, "WITH THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH THE WHOLE WORLD; WITHOUT THE TRUTH YOU CAN REACH NOTHING." The truth is: GOD WILL USE THE WAY (which means all His words) to RULE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE and RULE and CONQUER MANKIND. 💐🙏
People are always hoping for a big turnaround in God's ways. Simply put, THROUGH WORDS God controls PEOPLE, and you MUST DO what He SAYS whether you want to or not; it is a TRUE PURPOSE, and must be FOLLOWED by ALL, and therefore, also, it is unshakable, and known to all.
The HOLY SPIRIT GIVES PEOPLE A FEELING. ☀️🙏
AFTER READING THE WORDS OF GOD, in their HEARTS they will be STRONGER, and PEACEFUL, while PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE WORDS OF GOD FEEL EMPTY. That is the POWER of the WORD of GOD----PEOPLE NEED TO READ it, AFTER they READ it they will be FILLED, and they CANNOT be WITHOUT it. It is LIKE when a MAN INHALES opium: It GIVES them STRENGTH, and without it they are desperate, and powerless. 🙏
That's how people will behave today.
READING GOD'S WORDS GIVES PEOPLE STRENGTH. 🙏
If they do NOT READ it, they will be anxious, BUT AFTER they READ it, they will immediately RISE from where they are sitting. This is the MEANING of the KINGDOM of GOD ( the Word ) on EARTH. 💐🙏
There are some people who want to leave, or are tired of God's work. Regardless, they CANNOT TURN AWAY from the WORDS of GOD; NO MATTER HOW WEAK THEY ARE, THEY WILL STILL RELY ON THE WORDS OF GOD TO LIVE, and HOWEVER THEY REBEL, THEY DARE NOT LEAVE THE WORDS OF GOD. THE POWER OF GOD'S WORDS IS REALLY SHOWN when God RULES and EXHIBITS POWER, and THIS IS HOW GOD WORKS. This, AFTER ALL, is the WAY GOD WORKS, and NOTHING CAN BE LEFT OUT. 🙏

Small correction: jewish law does make a difference between a murderer and a רוצח בשוגג, a negligent killer, just that the word רוצח is used for both (and an adjective is needed to differentiate the 2)
I’m so excited for this channel! Your videos are beautiful and engaging and getting shared to all my friends!
Being Multi-lingual I discovered, as so many, many people before me that translating from one tongue to another is sometimes near impossible to get it correct. What does what you read or speak mean to you and the native speaker? Knowing the words and order is not enough, you must think in the Language without translating from yours to theirs, knowing why that word.
That's why good translators need to be not only native-level fluent at both the languages involved, but also know the cultures they're both steeped in. I was lucky when I learned English, I had the internet to help my immersion and I'd daresay it's helped me get a feel for the nuances of English enough to (usually) detect the tone the writer intended, because I spent 10 years immersed in the english internet communities.
I'm learning Japanese slowly and pretty much repeating the process I used for English, including total immersion. It's always a rougher start, but you only learn the small subtleties and rules from observing them and noticing where you clash and should tweak to fit the "format".
I'm kind of grateful that Aramaic, Hebrew and Koine Greek are all preserved well enough to be immersable (is that even a word?) as languages and we can make informed context guesses thanks to a bunch of linguistic and history and anthropology nerds recovering the contemporary knowledge, too.
@@neoqwerty Good point. Had a person tell that an Eskimo (not sure of the particular group) had 26 words for snow, describing different types of snow.
A literal or poetic translation. Or, you follow the letter of the law, but not the spirit.

This thing's not even REMOTELY close. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off, sadly. This is the A.D. Era now.
For anyone, praying this all helps. If there’s any “ammo” here that’s either wanted or needed, go for it. As Scripture implies - “Freely you have received, freely give”.
(Lest anyone forget that everything, including all of the laws in the Old Testament point to the message of the cross in the New Testament. When Jesus fulfilled all 613 rules of that Mosaic Law (or “Torah”) thing, He rendered it obsolete. That “Mosaic Law” includes the Ten Commandments brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses as well as everything mentioned by the O.T. prophets (Matthew 5:17-20 -- He didn’t ABOLISH any of it but rather FULFILLED all of it.
(For more information, see also John 1:17, John 3:1-6, Romans 5:18-21, Romans 10:4, 2 Corinthians 3:4-11, Ephesians 2:14-18, Galatians 2:19-21, Hebrews 7:18-19, Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 8:6, Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 10:8-10 and Hebrews 13:9.)).)
It’s only The Holy Spirit Who can guide into all truth (John 14:16-17, 26, John 16:13, 1 Corinthians 3:5-9, Hebrews 4:12).
There are no contradictions in Scripture...EVER.
“To sanctify” means “to set apart”. “To put to its intended purpose,” in other words.
In Hebrews 10:14, “For all time” means (may I have a drumroll, please) “For all time”. (That’s spiritually-speaking, of course. The rest of you? Welcome to being human.)
(SIDE NOTE - In some translations, “For all time” is worded as “Forever”, “To the end” or “For eternity”.)
Some things regarding someone wrapped up in Judaism (Torah / Mosaic Law):
Five requests: Kindly post a picture of your altar along with some photos of yourself as an amputee with no eyes. And WHERE did you say your Day of Atonement was again? Forgot. Oh, and if you would, please, also wouldn’t mind having some photographs of your temporary shelter built above your house built for that 7-day celebration of the Feast of Booths. And then the final request would include those photographs of yourself partaking in the other ceremonies and festivals mentioned. Additionally, as a fifth request, kindly explain why it is that Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils of war to Melchizedek as well as explain why Melchizedek was “the greater” as Hebrews 7:7-11 implies. They ALL need to be followed as perfection is perfection. Thanks much!
Since animal sacrifices are a HUGE part of honoring that Mosaic Law, wasn’t aware there was such a thing as cherry picking as to which of the 613 Torah rules one was actually going to follow. Scripture’s quite specific about it: “Be perfect such as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” “If your eye offend you, pluck it out.” “If your hand offend you, chop it off.”
In Deuteronomy 27:26, it's quite specific: “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold 100% of the law”.
One other side note is just the fact that there’s been any non-Gospel response whatsoever is already less than 100% perfect. Now what?
That’s actually why that “Torah” thing exists: It’s to demonstrate how impossible it is to keep perfectly for life as well as to show the need for a savior.
Great video. This channel's gonna explode.
If you please, I would love to see a follow-up video that shows the relationship between "commandments" 1&6, 2&7, 3&8, 4&9 and 5&10. That would be something I would LOVE to learn about. Thank you.
For what it's worth - I don't believe the correspondence is exactly 1&6, 2&7, etc., but I DO believe there is a basic one-for-one correspondence of the two sets to five:
Here's a summary of how I've taught it:
@@lionsbrudoes not matter what you believe. It is what God wrote. That is what we believe
@@maggiemae7539 - I think you've misunderstood me. I certainly DO accept these commandments as given to us by God. But Scripture itself does not explicitly list them by number nor state that "#1 corresponds to #6", etc., Yet if we STUDY them carefully, we do indeed see correspondences (part of their beauty and power!) - only they don't match (and don't need to match!) the order of the commandments. I've laid out exactly HOW I see the correspondences above.
@@lionsbru Watch the video again. They assert that the commandments do match up 1&6 2&7 3&8 4&9 5&10.
It's all made up crap. When you write rules, you can make them say or connect however you want.
That was starting to get interesting. I'm Jewish and I feel you dealt with this topic well. Looking forward to the next video.
I'm halfway Jewish and I knew they were called the "ten axiomatic Divine statements" (roughly) and that, obviously, there are legal executions and warfare in Judaism (same as Christianity, same as Islam).
What was new to me was "thou shalt not kidnap". I suppose "theft" derives from midrash?
Can you elaborate on this? I'm not Jewish enough, I'm new to this one.
Absolutely need a video of someone explaining the relationships between the correlating Commandments! 👌❤️
I swear, I love your shorts, and would gladly watch longer form content of yours.
Also, the Exodus 34 version is radically different from the Exodus 20 version. And the E34 version is the only one that refers to itself as THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Actually, Exodus 34 does not contain the same decrees, and the Hebrew in Ex 34:28 says the ten “dabarim”, the ten words. Nevertheless, “word” is a weak and misleading translation for modern English. Remember the phrase “his word is law”. This is what we are talking about with “dabar” or “logos”. These are decrees or commands, not simply light words.
in exodus 20 it also uses the term "devarim" in the verse immediately before the first commandment of "I am the Lord..." It says "God spoke these devarim saying"
I recommend the book "Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril" by David Klinghoffer (
Klinghoffer does an excellent job of explaining from a Jewish perspective the details of each point

It would be nice to see you walk around these commandments in order to see size etc

This guy has some interesting takes but he unfortunately gets a lot of hate from KJV " purists".
I grew up nearby that park and, in elementary school, we took a field trip there. We were encouraged to climb all the stairs and pray in the “temple” on the top of the hill. Yes, it was a public school, why do you ask? 😂
Those stairs are incredibly steep and long, I am surprised that elementary kids could even make it up lol
@@_magnify You'd be surprised how competitive elementary kids are, I remember that any challenging-looking flight of stairs (or even a ladder or anything remotely climbable) basically would spark an unspoken race to be first to get to the end/top and the only thing standing between civilized man and a stampede of kids were the teachers.
Thank you very much! As someone who grew up Christian and converted to Judaism (kind of like you, but in reverse), I really appreciate you and your information.
I grew up Christian but came to accept and embrace the Jewish history of my Faith and the Jewishness of Jesus Christ. I do not come from the stock of the Patriarchs but I consider myself and other earnest Gospel believers grafted into the Covenants and Faith through Christ. That is why I like to refer to the faith of Yahweh as Judeo/Christian. The difference is the identity of Messiah. I and other Christians and Messianic Jews believe He came as Jesus of Nazareth and will come again and the Orthodox of Judeism do not yet accept that idea. But I still love them for whoever blesses them God will bless.
@@garyreed6237 Yeah, I would sit in Church and think “If the Guy we’re following is Jewish, then why aren’t we?”
@@ericdary8041 because they don't believe in the resurrection of Christ. They are still waiting for their messiah. They seem to think Isaiah 54 doesn't exist.
Excellent presentation. I obtained my degree in Religion from a secular university later in life to find to the best of my ability using the best resources available what the evangelist whose words are recorded in the Bible were intended to mean and how their audience would have understood them. To do that I not only had to study early Christianity, but ancient Judaism as well. The vast majority of Christians including clergy think they can read the Bible like yesterday's newspaper without any historical, societal, or Jewish context. The Bible was written by ancient Jews for ancient Jews and NOT for medieval Christians with little or no knowledge of Jewish beliefs and life. Almost all Christian theology has its origins in medieval Roman Catholic doctrine much of which was designed to promote the power of the Church by legitimizing the monarchial system and justifying a "master-servant relationship. Be happy that you are poor and powerless, just do what you are told by your masters and you will be rewarded in the afterlife. What we see today for the most part is Christianity used as an instrument of personal, societal, and political power. The God of Abraham and Jesus of Nazareth aren't the purpose of the church, they are just specially invited guests. I guess some things never change.

So the stone fragments that melted Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark actually had rules about observing the feast of weeks, and not boiling a calf in its mother's milk.
No, they didn't. Those rules were supposedly communicated to Moses orally (since the tablets would be too heavy, otherwise).

I would so love to see a follow up video. I just discovered your channel, and it was so synchronistic with where I am at in my own personal studies and journey now.
Very interesting, please, do more videos! There is so much I can learn.
I'm amazed. I've been to the Fields of the woods once when I was a kid. I live in Andrews. I can literally go any time. I may soon. It pretty awesome.
Wish you would do more long form videos. I get the reels are more engaging with audiences, but I think people will look back at short form content and cringe at the way it’s warped our minds. Regardless, love your content, and keep it coming :)
Very interesting and informative. Explains the challenges of translating and understanding ancient texts.
having just come across your channel recently, I'm playing catch up. I'm appreciating the clarity you're bringing to scripture. In answer to your question, yes I'd be very interested in a follow up video about all 5 connections on the list.
Thank you fore this informative video. I appreciate your coverage of Hebrew words and their corresponding translatio. I hope you make more videos.
Wow, fantastic channel! I'm in the process of binging 😅 I look forward to your upcoming works.
PS in some videos and comments, you have mentioned books; maybe you could make some curated book recommendation videos too? Keep up the amazing work
Very informative, two copies of important documents with front and back writing.
I love this. We need these contexts especially when dealing with translation:)
The more i study and learn the more i realize that our best english translations still leave much to be desired. A strongs concordance is a good start.
Yeah, I don't agree on a lot with Islam, but I can respect keeping their text original. It would also be a good cure for monolingualism, since the Bible is written in several languages.
@matt92hun the old testament portion is only 2, Hebrew, and Aramaic. The new testament is in Greek. With the old testament all the original language is preserved in the masoretic text, and verified by using external sources like the dead sea scrolls, targets, and all sorts of hebrew writings. The only thing we English speakers have to worry about is bad translations, and our own erroneous ideas about their culture. Still a lot though.
@@michaelabraham9177 as an amateur translator: that "only" is about as small as the grand canyon. You have to worry about the contemporary sayings and turns of phrase, any popular shorthand/common wisdom, sometimes there's also wordplay, and then you have implied patterns that you only get from knowing the contemporary wisdom and now-obscure stuff.
Sometimes the best bet is to transliterate and annotate, and then offer a localization instead of trying to translate directly (which will ALWAYS lose nuance-- transliteration preserves all the possibilities via the book's worth of translators' notes, while localization preserves the feel that was meant the best, a translation is always a poor middleman between exactness and the soul of the text).
(Sorry, as someone learning his third language (Japanese, after french and English), translating is a bit of a passion for me when I see how English translations of a lot of French texts sucked the soul out of it that a bit of a localizing flourish would have preserved.)
Excellent video. You could also add that the 10 commandments were rectangular blocks and did not have rounded tops.
This is a common misconception.
Very interesting. I have learned many Hebrew scriptures from listening to John Kostik.
He breaks the words down to the symbols and gematria.
Amazing video like always!
Hey thanks! Got more coming!
I’ve never thought about the concept of duplicate tablets before, but it makes a lot of sense!
Why would the Almighty need a copy? He cannot remember what He wrote?
The duplicate tablet idea is extra biblical. All interpretations have been the 10 laws written across two tablets. Also the separation of five and five is not universal. I grew up hearing about the two tables, one being 1-4 about man’s relationship with God and two being 5-10 man’s to each other.
@@davidweihe6052nope because Moses broke the first one when he saw them worshipping the golden calf 😂 but you would know that if you had "'actually read the book" 😂
@@davidweihe6052he actually made two because he knew that you were kind of dense. 😂
This is what I’ve always found interesting about groups like Quakers who believe that only the Bible and the Word of God is infallible, but just by the basis of translation, the Bible has been changed many times. This doesn’t even count for intentional changes by corrupt priests who want to lie and manipulate.
Yes, I am interested in the connections between pairs of commandments, and also in how such patterns fits into a bigger cultural picture. For example, people have pointed out a similar structure in the days of creation.
This was interesting. I've always been amazed on how relative to the culture a translation tends to be. Especially when religion is involved it seems that the translation seems to lean towards the translators desired phrase rather than an exacting translation true to the source.
Language has that feature and bug about it. You will only use words in so many ways for so many purposes and some words lose/change meaning over time. It isn't a bad thing but it is one of the first questions you have to ask, albeit a question that comes off as pedantic because language is usually a culturally agreed upon thing ("why would you ask that? Everyone knows xyz word means abc concept"). If I have to follow God's laws then I need to know what those laws are and what those laws aren't.
This thing's not even REMOTELY close. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off, sadly. This is the A.D. Era now.
For anyone, praying this all helps. If there’s any “ammo” here that’s either wanted or needed, go for it. As Scripture implies - “Freely you have received, freely give”.
(Lest anyone forget that everything, including all of the laws in the Old Testament point to the message of the cross in the New Testament. When Jesus fulfilled all 613 rules of that Mosaic Law (or “Torah”) thing, He rendered it obsolete. That “Mosaic Law” includes the Ten Commandments brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses as well as everything mentioned by the O.T. prophets (Matthew 5:17-20 -- He didn’t ABOLISH any of it but rather FULFILLED all of it.

Some things regarding someone wrapped up in Judaism (Torah / Mosaic Law):
Five requests: Kindly post a picture of your altar along with some photos of yourself as an amputee with no eyes. And WHERE did you say your Day of Atonement was again? Forgot. Oh, and if you would, please, also wouldn’t mind having some photographs of your temporary shelter built above your house built for that 7-day celebration of the Feast of Booths. And then the final request would include those photographs of yourself partaking in the other ceremonies and festivals mentioned. Additionally, as a fifth request, kindly explain why it is that Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils of war to Melchizedek as well as explain why Melchizedek was “the greater” as Hebrews 7:7-11 implies. They ALL need to be followed as perfection is perfection. Thanks much!
Since animal sacrifices are a HUGE part of honoring that Mosaic Law, wasn’t aware there was such a thing as cherry picking as to which of the 613 Torah rules one was actually going to follow. Scripture’s quite specific about it: “Be perfect such as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” “If your eye offend you, pluck it out.” “If your hand offend you, chop it off.”
In Deuteronomy 27:26, it's quite specific: “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold 100% of the law”.
One other side note is just the fact that there’s been any non-Gospel response whatsoever is already less than 100% perfect. Now what?
That’s actually why that “Torah” thing exists: It’s to demonstrate how impossible it is to keep perfectly for life as well as to show the need for a savior.

You should totally make long form videos like this, it is very interesting
I love videos like this, I have a strong's concordance of the original Hebrew chaladan and Greek words so i like knowing the original words. I use it when I practice preaching at the Church
The bit about the tablets being duplicates was something that actually came up in the Methodist church I went to. The teacher brought up the Mel Brooks clip, where Moses has 15 commandments before dropping a tablet, as why duplicate tablets would be a good idea. Man is falliable, stone can shatter, and these things were meant to handed down.
where are they now then?
@@yourmum69_420 Taken by the Roman Empire and then lost. The Romans weren't exactly known for labeling and cataloging every treasure they stole. Heck, they could be at some senator's summer house in Pompeii. Wouldn't that be something?
First time I have heard about the correlations of looking through to the other side, very very interesting, thank you.
I just seen a video about the Egyptians carving stuff on both sides of a wall and it was meant be kind of translucent to create a deeper meaning for those who knew how to read it. Since Moses was educated by the Egyptian upper echelon, that brings in a whole deeper meaning to it all, thank you again.
The commandments were cubes of sapphire or lapus lazuli with the text drilled through so the other side could also be read.
The Hebrew word translated as Steal does mean to steal according to every concordance. It can also mean kidnap which is the same thing only refers to the stealing of a person instead of property. It appears in the Bible 39 times and in some instances it refers to stealing stuff and in some instances it refers to kidnapping people.
Is it kidnapping if you pay for the people? The Bible seems really ok with infringing on other peoples' free will, as long as you pay for it.
This whole book is complete BS.
What a fascinating video. As a translator, I’d always say: always double-check someone’s translation!
I have gone to Yeshiva my entire life and I have NEVER heard the interpretation for not stealing as not kidnapping.
I grew up in the Jewish tradition and I never heard that interpretation either. Wikipedia (yeah, I know) points to _Sanhedrin 86a_ and _that_ says that, in context, the prohibition refers to a capital crime, which would be kidnapping, and not stealing.
I have often heard the "do not kidnap" translation in a - did you know - kind of way. And the prohibition of stealing property is "don't steal=לא תגנובו" as mentioned in פרשת קדושים or Leviticus 19, 11

Thankyou. Old covenant vs New covenant. So many denominations try to blend the two. What does Jeremiah 31 say? The new is not like the old. You cannot put new wine into an old wine skin or a new patch on an old garment.
Thank you, very informative and thought provoking :)
The issue I have with videos like these is that it goes from interesting tidbits to extreme claims like “with 4 of the 10 commandments not how the Jews view them are we even talking about the same thing”. This then tries to fuel doubt in those who aren’t as versed in this topic.
First the claim that 4 commandments are different is a pedantic one. Our bibles do not lay out the 10 commandments or 10 words in a certain way. So it’s up to the reader to organize them. So the first word/commandment is not “different” in that sense.
The “thou shall no kill/kidnap”, while interesting is simply a translation choice. As one studies their Bible and looks at original languages this could be an interesting point to consider. But far from makes this section of the Bible “something completely different” (paraphrasing).
Even things like the curvature of the tablets in pop culture, have nothing to do with the careful Bible reader.
I was taught that the tablets were engraved through and through, and miraculously could be read from both sides!
Absolutely loving these videos, please do more long form!
Underrated channel.
Curious that there should be this textual controversy over theft vs. kidnapping. Because, when one thinks about it, the entire Decalogue can be interpreted through the lens of theft:
1) Do not rob God of the worship rightfully owed Him.
2) Do not rob the Creator of spiritual majesty by reducing Him to mere creature.
3) Do not steal from God's reputation by misrepresenting Him.
4) Do not steal from yourselves the Holy rest that is yours to take.
5) Do not deprive your father and mother of the respect and honor that is due them.
6) Do not steal a person's life.
7) Do not cheat any neighbors of the sanctity of their marriage.
8) Do not steal. Or in this video's case for kidnapping, "Do not rob a person of their freedom."
9) Do not rob the public square of truth.
10) Do not covet, which is the heart's prelude to all theft.
i'm so glad to have found this video, wow, i do enjoy learning about the original ''intent'' of the bible words
The aspect I find the most interesting is the last commandment, about not coveting. The Swedish translation says that "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, slave, donkey, oxen or anything else belonging to thy neighbour", roughly. First of all it implies an ownership of your wife, second of all it establishes that people can be owned in the form of slavery. Some translations nowadays goes by "servant" instead of "slave".
This is how we know these items were written by a human and not a god. Everything here is written as a human would have viewed society in those days.
No. The final commandment is about temptation, specifically envy, lust and greed, which lead to violating earlier ones if taken to their logical conclusion:
"Do not covet your neighbour's wife" means don't drool over a married woman (Jesus elaborates that lusting is already committing adultery in your heart), nothing to do with ownership.
Not covering someone's house, cattle, or property is self-explanatory, and not desiring someone's servants can be still applied to office jobs in a "don't headhunt and try to buy out competitor's employees" way.
Actually, nowadays in Hebrew, you could call these "The Ten Commandments" or "The Ten Verses" - עשרת הדברות or עשרת הדברים, respectively, though I think what you said is right in the sense that in the original text, they are referred to as verses.
In ancient Mesopotamia, business contracts were drawn up first on wax or clay tablets. The parties then made revisions, after which the first copy was broken and the final draft was made on the clay or stone that served as the permanent contract.

How would you describe differences between Islam and Christianity, from personal experience? I was born into a Christian family on my mother's side and a Muslim family from my father's, and converted to Buddhism about five years ago
Islam and Christianity are just about equally ridiculous and negative, with bits and pieces of positivity strewn among the psychological hangups. They are practically two denominations of the same neurosis. Taken as a whole they are a blight on humanity.
