The presence of the Philistines blows the Exodus, and thus Jewish history, completely out of the water.

@@adams5414 the philistines were a part of the sea peoples that were settled in Canaan between 1180-1150 bce. At the time Canaan was part of Egypt and had been for many centuries prior. So stories set before that time that include the philistines are wrong and the Israelites can’t flee Egypt in the exodus by staying in Egypt.

I knew a Phillis Stein. And she didn't look Jewish.

Good points and great breakdown. Some interpretation issues but I’lI give you a sold 8.9. Thanks

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

It's been interesting to me that the judges in the book of judges are actually military leaders. Nothing is said about them actually being judges Except for the woman It is explicitly written that this woman Deborah sat under a tree and passed judgments on legal disputes. So she was in authority over men! So the ancient israelites were not Southern Baptist or Catholics!

@@langreeves6419 No, you're the one missing the whole point. Judges is about the warlords who lead Israel in the time before monarchy. What made one a judge was the warmongering. Deborah holding court is not the important part of the story. Other women in the Bible could hold court. In fact Jezebel was denigrated in the Bible exactly because that's what she did. What made Deborah special was her status as a warleader - something no other biblical woman ever does. Think! What was more emancipating in the eyes of the people the book was written for? The part where she held court as the wife of Lappidoth or the one where she organized and lead the Israelite army with Barak as her deputy? You're entirely missing the authority that actually mattered in the story to the people the story was intended for.

Excellent lecture. Thank you.

Nazarites weren't supposed to go near dead bodies but an exception must've made for Samson because he'd certainly piled them up.

I love your lectures but, I've studied esoteric symbolism for years with special emphasis on mythology. I understand this isn't a forum for comparative myth structure but I would like to point out two things.. 1 ) there's are 12 judges just as there are tribes of Israel 12 imans in Islam 12 new testament apostles in fact in every religion you'll find the 12 just as you'll find the 7 (samson had 7 locks of hair) in the Jewish Temple you have the minorah with 7 branches and a table with 12 shewbread loaves.. Hebrew itself has 7 double letters and 12 single (with 3 mother letters) all significant of the same thing.. the 12 divisions of zodiac and the seven planets of antiquity . This idea was held universally in the ancient world and is embedded in every religion whether you see it or not.. I should also point out that Samson is identical in the theme to the story of Hercules ..

3:18 That looks interesting.

Reminds me about what happened with the word epicurean.

1:03:43

The relationship between the Hyksos and the Philistines is geographical. According to the Egyptian chronicles, after their expulsion the Hyksos retreated to the area that later became Philistia. So technically the people that the Peleset conquered (or were given as subjects by Egypt) may have been descended from the Hyksos. By extension, since the Philistines themselves assimilated with the locals, you can argue that the Philistine population was mainly composed of descendants of the Hyksos.

Also Palasa Was a sea Ionion coast city and between height mountains and beautiful reefs its symbol was half man had fish cause of this geography.

1:02:15 Mixup of Balkan nations haha, its the Bulgars who were a Turkic people who migrated from Eurasian steppe into the Balkan area and assimilated into the Slavs who were already living there. After that happened Bulgarian is a Slavic language, and Bulgarians consider themselves to be South Slavs. Serbs and Croats are just Slavs that settled there earlier when Slavs were settling that area, tho interestingly for Serbs its very likely that the name Serb is an exonym, from the Latin word for slave /servant - servus. If thats the case its a weird reverse situation of how the English word slave etymologically comes from Slav (which is a Slavic endonym coming most likely from slovo - speech, language).

So who are the Israelites

Palasa . a region in west south west Ballcans. in antiquity many criminals were kicked out of there to nowadays north of Israel and Lebanon just like the ex British in Australia. also many of them were banned to come back home or they would get killed if so. the word in Greek is extraocated

Isn't the philistines the descendants of canaan, the son of ham?

John/Leandro, Why do knowledgeable people always tiptoe around the discussions involving the Philistines? Are they so pivotal to the Israelite story? Clearly the Bible is in error, or is it? Did God get it wrong when issuing his exit directions? I would appreciate a definitive, logical explanation!!!

There is no P in Arabic so “Falestine” still lives as Palestine, as local Arabs pronunciation Onomatopoeia created the word Palestine. The people disappeared by the land of the Filastins was Gaza and there is a genuine connection particularly as anyone who’s lived there has been an enemy of the Israelites, also worth mentioning that there is no Palestine in the Bible or the Quran but Israel is mentioned over 2500 times.
