    I couldn’t get past the bit about Russian fur slippers without pausing for
    research; and sorry to say it, but that is incorrect. This has been
    debunked by several, most notably the team behind Snopes, a very reputable
    mythbuster:.

    While I was paused, I also took the time to also look up information about
    gladiator hand gestures, and the scholars still debate that topic, lacking
    clear evidence of how this gesture was rendered. Unfortunately, the first
    two demonstrations of how wiley translations and interpretations can be
    have fallen flat on their face.

    Then comes the assertion about the ancient Hebrew script for the word
    father. Somehow, I am supposed to believe that an ox head combined with a
    tent clearly refers a tent pole. Even leveraging my abstract mindset, I
    find that to be a bit of a reach. Logically, it makes even less sense:
    Despite admiting that the Hebrew language is based on concrete ideas, one
    cannot arrive to this conclusion without leveraging strength, an abstract
    concept. If alef must have a concrete reference, it cannot possibly mean
    strength.

    I am no linguist by profession. Neither am I a scholar, but the pictorial
    script most obviously suggests the “head of tent” as opposed to “tent
    pole.” It really takes quite a leap to get from an ox head to a pole. In
    this context, “head” makes far more sense than “pole.” What can a pole do
    except what its master sets out to accomplish with it? Can a pole direct
    what it supports? Yet the head has eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mouth
    to speak; it is the master of the body. This seems better aligned with the
    thinking of a patriarchy.

    I was excited when I saw the title of this series, but excitement was
    quickly supplanted by doubt before I could even make it through the first
    video.

    Thy tent pole who art in heaven? That doesn’t sound right. I think it
    doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

    Actually the translation from Russian to French was correct : vair = fur of
    grey Russian squirel. The mistranslation comes from the mistaking vair with
    : verre = glass phonetically verry close from vair.

    @ancienthebreworg Baptist don’t hold Mary as perpetually a virgin. Nor do
    they claim she was born of a miracle or has any power.We will call no man
    father except our blood father. We believe we are all priest w/ access to
    the throne of God in Christ equally. We don’t believe in transbulation of
    wine 2 blood. We disagree with the concept of church state as Jesus had no
    govt. We dip not sprinkle hence the name. There are more but u can
    wikipedia it.

    @ancienthebreworg -Please allow me. In the Moabite stone, this is recurring
    and not merely a scribal error, though your pointing out of Leviticus as a
    scribal error is probaby right on the money. Here’s part of my thinking,
    and it’s an exciting thought for me. -Cont’d.

    iv actually changed my view slightly. i think the better interpretation of
    alaph is ‘mighty one’. the certainly looked at an ox and thaught that. so
    ‘mighty one of the house’ is the most accurate fit for ‘father’. i dont
    entirely agree with modern views on what they think they meant

  7. CadaverSplatter

    Yahweh is reconstructed really, in conformity of what we know about the
    behaviors of consonants in other languages such as Akkadian. Being as YHWH
    is made up of consonants that are considered weak, (in Akkadian, for
    example, they are all potentially dropped depending on certain factors).
    Canaanite written in syllabic inscriptions from Tell Amarna are are best
    sources for what the Canaanite languages (Hebrew, Phoenician, Moabite)
    sounded like.

    @SuperDonster Come on man even our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the
    Father, and is God, when he was in human form, HAD TO READ & STUDY the
    books in the Old Testament to understand his Father’s words. How could he
    say to his enemies & Satan “It is written…” if he did not learn God’s
    word by reading the old manuscripts? The Father specifically commanded his
    men to write the original Hebrew manuscripts for good reason and purpose.

    @ancienthebreworg aleph doesn’t mean ”ox”. ox is ”shor” in Hebrew.

    @Yeshuaismyshepher I’m not sure who you are speaking to. As for the Ancient
    Hebrew Research Center, this is an organization that simply teaches Hebrew,
    nothing more, nothing less. As for myself and my family, founder and
    administrator of AHRC, we are Torah observant.

    @Elderyoungone To help with your question. Research and investigations.
    Retracing steps of previous information, documentation, peoples closest
    connected and so on. Although He is wrong Aramaic is a branch of Hebrew not
    a separate language, its like German and English , Greek, Latin and
    Spanish. AB or ABBA is a Hebrew word description later adopted and
    translated by other nations Greeks, etc. It shows the purpose, position and
    duty. Tent Pole (top head covering strength protection provider).

    Part1. To help you. Some may not recognize the circle with an “X” inside as
    traffic violation or a stop sign. In other countries, Germany, and in
    Africa, the circle with an “X” inside represents a traffic violation, and
    sometime used as a stop sign. The sign had evolved in the U.S. The “X” that
    supposed to be inside of the circle is replaced by the word “Stop”.Alphabet
    number 22, following the information about alphabet number 9 of the
    Paleolithic area.

    Aramaic, Hebrew and the other western semitic languages were closely
    related, basically dialects of the original language. Aramaic is basically
    the missing link between them and the southern semitic like Arabic. all
    western semitic languages were very much mutually intelligible. Aramaic
    served as a lingua franca between the western and southern languages. an
    Israeli kid I know saw the last temptation and said he understood it, but
    their Hebrew was bad. I laughed. that was Aramaic. how funny.

    please translate in spanish

    @SuperDonster When I hear people say that the only way one can truely
    understand the word of God is through the Holy Spirit, I ask, the Baptists
    believe they are correctly interpreting the word through the Holy spirit,
    and the Methodists believe the same thing, yet they both have opposing
    interpretations of the Bible. And what about the Lutherans, Assembly of
    God, etc. If all of these churches are listening to the “Holy Spirit,” then
    why do they differ so much?

  16. Korben Dallas

    What is that music at the beginning? Its really cool.

  17. REPMAJ25

    1) I try to explain just that, but DO NOT want to give me attention here.
    SINCE EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS WRONG. Congratulations for the video. Hug.

    Part4.Just like the image of the “X”, or the image of the “plus”, is two
    paths crossing each other. Even without taking into consideration the
    images, the word itself “Taw”, in the old Hebrew language, means to “walk
    pass, to cross”. The image of that alphabet “X”, one finds it on the
    railroad signs where the train passes. When you see the “X” at a railroad,
    it means that there are two paths crossing each other, one path being the
    one of the train. If you read what is written on the “X” around

  19. Jeff Benner

    @MrViTopol Let me try a different example. The Hebrew word for “mother” is
    אם (read from right to left), spelled aleph (on the right) and mem (on the
    left). The aleph is a picture of an ox head representing strength and the
    mem is a picture of water. Combined these mean “strong (aleph) water
    (mem).” The “strong water” is “glue,” but also “mother,” the glue of the
    family.

  20. MrViTopol

    you mean the misunderstanding itself occured within the French language ?
    for fur in Russian is not vair but mex (mekh).

  21. Abed Yah

    @ancienthebreworg Catholic holds tradition to be equal to the Bible.
    Anglican is the English version of the Catholic Church created by Henry
    D8th for power. Presbyterians, n Lutheran r responses to the excesses of
    these churches. Baptist or ana baptist, predate all up to the Catholic as
    strictly Bible believers with no added text, traditions or hierarchy n r
    thought of as primitive Christians . Assembly of God, 7th day advents, n
    COGIC are baptist derivatives and very close still to its tenants

  22. LaSheuMusic

    Part3.It is the ancient Hebrew word for “sign”. This comment is another
    mistake. May the Lord of heaven, extends his Forearm, and the scribes, and
    all the heirs of the words, may they stand with me, and allow me to help
    our cousins who are studying our language. The word “Taw” does not means
    “sign”, it means “to pass, to cross, to walk pass on a path, to cross
    pass”. Just like image of a cross, and the word cross means to walk pass,
    that is what “taw” means in old Hebrew.

    How when W derives from two U’s double U=W there are no vowel points in
    ancient hebrew. Abry

  24. Jeff Benner

    @muncleike Judaism teaches that the letter ו (vav) is, and always has been
    a “v” sound. However, there is no way to prove this, it is simply a
    tradition. The sounds of each letter in ancient times is not known with
    certainty as there were no tape recorders then. We can only go on tradition
    and comparison with sister languages. The original pronunciation of יהוה
    will never be known with certainty, and if anyone claims to know the
    original pronunciation ask them for a tape recording of Moses.
