Most of the people who discuss these stories usually get a lot of things wrong or just focus on the most outrageous aspects of it (he married his cousin at a time when it was a common custom?

​@@dIancaster Have we, though? Grown past such barbarism? No, we haven't. The patriarchy still exists. While feminism has managed to curtail the worst excesses of misogyny, all the fundamental aspects of the patriarchy that are found in the old testament are still there, like jealousy and denouncing women for daring to have a sexuality, to name but two. Women continue to be murdered for being women every day. The Weinstein scandal (which thankfully was followed by a noteworthy protest movement that resulted in considerable improvements, at least for now) isn't even a decade old. And the patriarchy will continue to exist until its economic basis these days, capitalism*, gets abolished. *capitalism didn't give rise to the patriarchy because it obviously wasn't around then (how and why the patriarchy came to be is its own, interesting story), but today it is the underlying reason for its continued existence. This claim is supported by none other than the early Soviet Union under Lenin (1917-1924), the first serious attempt at dismantling capitalism, which saw significant improvements for women regardless of their economic background, such as the right to get divorced and to have abortions (these achievements were later reversed by Stalin, unfortunately), the possibility to enroll in university (this was thankfully not undone by Stalin, in the 50s and 60s as many as 60% women made up some university courses) and communal care for children so the mothers were relieved from childcare and could work or study. I mention this because for meaningful change, it's important to deal with the economic basis of the exclusion and discrimination of women: Feminism must be anti-capitalist and anti-capitalism must be feminist to actually have a chance of being effective beyond more or less superficial improvements.

The Abraham Cycle is definitely one of the more WTF passages in the Bible, which is saying a lot. I'm actually a bit surprised that you didn't include the covenant of the pieces, where God tells Abram to chop of bunch of animals in half in the middle of the night, and then a furnace and a torch pass between the pieces. It feels like a scene out of a David Lynch movie. Incidentally, my personal theory about the passage is that it shows some influence of the cult of Ishtar on the Abraham cycle, because the animals involved in the ritual are associated with her cult (heifer, she goat, ram, turtledove, pigeon).

1st time here. Loved it. You just got a new sub :) Excellent break down, with the verse on top, perfect.

3:18 there's a cultural bit of importance missed by Lot both being at the gates to welcome visitors, and preventing the Angels from staying in the Town Square. Bear in mind, I'm not an expert on this, but to the best of my knowledge... Lot's position at the front gates, is an indication that he was an elder of the city. Someone important enough to be welcoming visitors, and essentially being a Representative Face of the city. Not a mayor, but possibly part of the ruling council. The Town Square in those days, was essentially a Public Layover spot, for travelers and traveling convoys. Supposedly safer than camping out in the wilderness, or on the Roads... where brigands, bandits, and wild animals might invade/attack. Most, if not all, towns/cities of any size had them. Because it incentivised travelers stopping in town. As well as nicer towns, seeing repeat business & possible establishing trade routes that pass through the area... Or alternatively, shifting trade routes away from cities where it would be considered unwise to stop for the night. *It's telling that Lot, **_as a representative of the city,_** is unwilling to allow visitors to spend the night in the Town Square.*

Just a little heads up; Jacob/Israel was NOT okay with Simeon and Levi sacking Shechem. Also, Jake forgot the part where Reuben did the deed with Bilhah, mother of his half-brothers Dan and Naphtali. Reuben, Simeon, and Levi were Jacob's first three sons; and from what I can tell, these actions essentially cost them each the inheritance as the heir whose line that the Messiah would be born into, thus it ended up falling to Judah. This is my interpretation, at least; but either way, what Jake said about Judah having been on a roll was a MASSIVE understatement.

Like they taught us the less hardcore stories first (noahs mishaps, Avrahams sister-wife deal, etc) and the more R-rated stories in like 5th grade (ie Dinah and the chain of Incest). The point of these stories are to make these religious figures more human, these things aren’t right by any means but they were the “normal” of the time they happened depending on what you believe. Cutting them out puts a sugarcoating of purity on these people when they are in fact, very human and make mistakes we are supposed to learn from

One thing about the Judah and Tamar story. I like to think about this with inheritance in mind. Er, Onan, and Shelah. Once Judah died Er would receive 2 shares of dad's stuff while Onan and Shelah would each get one share. Basically a 50/25/25 split of dad's stuff. When Er died Onan got an immediate raise from 25% to 67%. Tamar's first born sun would be considered Er's so once a son was born Onan would go from getting 67% of dad's stuff to 25%, a huge pay cut. As far as Tamar - if she had no sons to support her in her old age she would be an old crone in grinding poverty. Hence, she took matters into her own whatever and got two sons.

Christian here. I recently discovered something that explains the weird ages of many people recorded in the early Bible. They’re not years. They’re months. They’re closer to 70-80 years when you divide by 12. Ancient civilizations counted in sets of 12. Due to another method of counting on your hand. You have 3 knuckles on the each of your fingers. If you point to each with your thumb you can count to 12. So there is an explanation to why the ages are absurdly high. Abraham and Sarah’s ages are probably post that time of counting. Actually I should look into that. Maybe they changed to counting up to 5 like we do now? Or some other contrived way of keeping track of years ancient societies had over the years. Could he that they did live to be 125 and 175 due to supernatural intervention? Maybe they counted in 1/2 years so every 5-6 months is defined as a year? Making it 45 when Sarah had Isaac and 62 when she died. And Abraham died at the ripe old age of ~88. The point I’m making is it’s not just word translation that matters with the Bible, it’s context and cultural translation that matters. What can seem absurd by modern standards, such as length of life, could be completely different than it was then.

Alternate title : Genesis spicy edition 🌶️

I knew some things messed up things in the Bible. It’s makes sense because people messed up. God literally told people not to do things. They literally did it anyway. God then gave 10 Commandments people still couldn’t do that right. He then simplified it again and people still messed up. God’s been very patient with humanity despite all the messed things people do.

Love it! I always thought it would be fun to narrate the books of the bible in modern speech, this is fantastic. Can you do the book of Joshua next? I hear god is a real c u next tuesday in that one.

I read my Bible like a story book when I was a kid so I read the whole thing cover-to-cover but it was only years later I realized how messed up some stuff in there were

I’m just saying all of history has messed up parts I’d be concerned if it was just perfect and nothing bad ever happened, the fact this stuff happens shows it’s actual history and not just some story.

Not just that stuff is messee but also the messages that are being conveyed are also messed up. It's better to give uo your Virgin daughter to save angel's ass. Lol

@@GaganSingh-nx2yv Actually, the angels refused Lot's offer initially, saying they'd spend the night in the city square, but they ended up accepting because Lot was persistent. I mean, on the one hand, yes, Lot loved God enough to give his angels shelter and protect them from an entire city's of worth of sex-hungry men even if it meant using his daughters as shields; on the other hand, if Lot would have just let the angels spend the night in the square, his house wouldn't have been surrounded by an entire city's worth of sex-hungry men in the first place. The angels proved they could have easily defended themselves the whole time by faith in God alone; it was by God's power that they smote the men of Sodom blind.

Dude, just blowing past Onan at 9:00 - the source of the archaic but interesting word/sin of “Onanism”.

Aw, why'd you stop there? You were almost up to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!
