Gezer is a city mentioned several times throughout the Bible, and the ancient site boasts a long history of excavation and remarkable discoveries paralleling the biblical account. On today’s show, host Christopher Eames takes you on a chronological journey around this amazing site, highlighting its fascinating Canaanite and Israelite history (but watch out for the snake!).

Expedition Bible’s Excavated Canaanite High Place: “the sin of the Amorites”
• Excavated Canaanite Hi...
I was there over 30 years ago before the Tel was properly excavated.
I have good friends in the kibbutz that I visit, it's time to go back a re-visit the Tel!!!
These videos are excellent! Please keep producing such wonderful resources for Bible lovers!
WOW! So glad to see some of this as I've never been to visit. Thank you!
Praise God In everything give thanks this is the will of God 🙏🙏 amen
Thank you for this archeological tour.
Fascinating tour. Thanks for the translation and explanation of the Gezer Calendar.
What a wonderful video. So interesting to see these biblical sites.
12:08 water system (wells/water tunnels) through bedrock
20:25 casemate wall/gatehouse (can be filled in with boulders during siege/war)
Note to self
Very, very good! Thanks so much! Keep up the good work.
Excellent show! Such a beautifully laid out site.
It would help so much if someone was talented enough to build a replica model of these sites. I just can't seem to visualize how they lived in such crowded spaces.
The earth giving up the rocks that confirm the Words of the Bible. How amazing.
So amazing and wonderful ❤
It's amazing to watch this video since my name is Gezer, my Mom and Dad just named me after some name they've seen in the Bible, later on I just found out it was a city name and it means "a separated place" or "set apart place". I don't know if it's true though.
Fascinating tour. Thanks!
Your videos never cease to explode my imagination. Thank you.
Thank you!
Very interesting - also a great follow up after seeing Joel Kramer on this topic of child sacrifice.
Beautiful
Thankyou. 😊.
very interesting archeologist site
very interesting
Can’t wait to get mine!
The interesting thing about Western archeologies and histories is the whole narrative is based on it is believed, traditions has it that or one stone with writing (which could easily being planted) to support the whole narratives.
Wow!
Unless I misunderstood what the narrator said, Yigal Yadin never Excavated the Solomonic gate at Gezer.
Thank you ever so much for sharing this wonderful story. I'm almost done reading the 4th book of Moses; Numbers and from what you are standing on the Amorites and Canaanites were huge. They sacrificed children that's why God told Moses to tell the isrealites to take it over and get rid of them; when we have faith in God we can do anything especially when God tells you to do something; we are all God's children God gets things done through us.
Isn’t it the case that the whole of Christianity is predicated upon the sacrifice of a son? Why did it cause such a stir when the Amorites and Canaanites did it?
God sacrificed a perfect sinless son, @@GayorgVonTrapp, whose death washed away our sins. The children that were murdered for sacrifices weren't sinless so their deaths were worthless. They also weren't doing it to worship the one true God. God is jealous.
@@KenJackson_US Do you ever stop and read back to yourself what you have written?
What you have just posted is grotesque.
It’s like when you meet and have a chat with someone, and they seem all ‘normal’ and decent and grounded, then they get into a BMW and become a knob.
Likewise with religion. Seemingly normal people come out with the most hideous, indoctrinated sick and mindless nonsense.
Appalling.
@@GayorgVonTrapp This comment has issues. The account from Christianity is that the Romans did the killing of a man for heretical transgressions, whereas the the Amorites and Canaanites are cited for preforming child sacrifices for ritualistic reasons; this means the comment is a false comparison, as in apples are not the same as oranges.
@@KenJackson_US Jesus is King and Lord. am interesting thing though is that El, Yahweh, Adon etc were taken by the Jews from the Canaanites... Ras Shamra texts (Google) will have more info if you're interested
11:45 "no need of conquering"
We also have no need of personally obeying the ten commandments even though God told us:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word (Commandment) that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
We can go and make alliances with harlots and women and rebels and even the MOTHER OF HARLOTS, and we shall not see our need until we answer to our Maker ALONE!
Why use BCE,,,Instead of BC...why
it's like hey, come visit Israel! come visit and see a bunch of crushed rubble! just like we imagined when we read all those old stories
Who was the pharaoh when Salomon married his daughter?
dying to go to Israel! great video!
If your into Archeology, this is heaven (Israel).
@@steve.57 Not an archaeologist, but back around 2004 I was in Israel with a buddy of mine to take pics of Biblical sites for illustrations in a publication. One of the things I most wanted to see was Tel Gezer - at the time in between excavations, and all grown over. The site was unmarked. No tourists, no sign-posts. I only knew the general area and we drove back and forth up the road near to the site. We finally decided to take a chance and drove down a small lane in the midst of hundreds of olive trees, towards a hill I thought 'might" be Gezer. We found a small olive oil 'factory' in the midst of the trees near the bottom of the hill. We stopped and asked, and found from them that the hill was indeed Gezer. We drove our car as far up the hill as possible, got out, and climbed the rest of the way. And There, near the top and center of the hill were these Massebah! What a breathtaking thing to 'discover' them without a sign! to mark them. We spent nearly an hour on top of that hill, reading the various scriptures regarding Gezer and Massebah. It was thrilling!! I can only imagine the thrill of working with an archaeological team and learning even more as history is uncovered!! This article brought all of that back to my mind - a time I will never forget.
@@Lfrankh Great comment Frank. I'm so glad you made it to the top. You would need months to see them all (tels) Some are terrific and some are barely worked. There are new finds pretty much daily during the digging season.
It would be insane to think of the people of the bible as illiterate. My reading of the Bible shows some very intelligent and industrious people. No doubt they were wealthy or they wouldn't have been attacked so many times.
From what the Bible teaches us we are to celebrate God before harvest and after harvest eat unleavened bread for 7 days Jan 14. It states to celebrate God 3 times a year
cannite gate? I'll take your word for it I guess......
What is BCE? It is BC!
The abbreviations AD for Anno Domini, or the year of our Lord, and B C, before Christ, are not used by scholars, particularly Jewish scholars. Scholars use the more neutral CE for common era, and BCE for before the common era.
