Dr. Pete Myers talks about his most recent project: A Hebrew Reader for the Psalms: 40 Beloved Texts. Pete read 40 of the Psalms comparing every word between two manuscripts, analyzing every word down to not just to the vowels but also the diacritical marks. This kind of research leads to excellent insights that he shares with us in this episode. Pete approaches his scholarship and teaching with passion, energy, and precision. Pete also has experience working in the Anglican Church and shares some pastoral thoughts at the end of the episode. WHERE TO FIND USPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsAudio Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qgQpz5xgv7u6y2Jg6ZBMrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_hebrewbibleinsights/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HebrewBibleInsightsWebsite: https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew9793/supportJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights WHERE TO FIND US Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Website: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com

I interview Nathan French (Ph.D. Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East) about his Ph.D. Dissertation on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He shares the history of how the tree has been interpreted, walks us through his research strategy, and then shares his unique contribution to this area of research. He traces the phrase "knowledge of good and evil" throughout the Hebrew Bible and ancient Near East to show how Genesis 2-3 is about more than just "God told Adam and Eve not to do something, they did it, and so they sinned." There is another dimension to this story that has a big impact on how we interpret, preach, and teach the foundational story of the Bible.Nathan's Dissertation on AmazonNathan's Bio and Publications on academia.edu--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew9793/supportJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights WHERE TO FIND US Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Website: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com

In this episode I read Genesis 12 in Hebrew and in English. Instead of just listening to your "chapter of the day" in English, you can listen to it in Hebrew and in English along with some thoughts that I have on the chapter. Whether you just enjoy hearing the sound of the Hebrew language, are learning Hebrew, or are excellent at Hebrew, this is an episode that you will enjoy. In this chapter I talk about the biggest problem of Abraham's story that goes almost completely unnoticed. I give credit to Ellen Davis for pointing out something that has forever changed the way I read Abraham's story. If you want to learn more about Genesis or any book of the Hebrew Bible, I highly recommend her book Opening Israel's Scriptures. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew9793/supportJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights WHERE TO FIND US Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Website: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com
