The Golden Calf & the Ten Commandments - Exodus Explained

[@RobertGrif]

Fun Bible fact: When St. Jerome was translating the part about Moses's face glowing, he saw that the Hebrew word used, qaran, is based on a Hebrew root meaning "horn". So, he chose to translate the word into Latin as corunta, which literally means "horned" but at the time could also mean "glorified". Over time, this context was lost, so we have lots of medieval art showing Moses with horns on his head 😅

[@luckluca8982]

I am not sure how serious the horn thing is or if it is just a mistranslation, but if not, it would be interenting to show the people that think any kind of horns is satanic. Ignoring how horns were a symbol of masculinity and power in many cultures

[@gordianplot9347]

[@GregorioGrasselli1972]

Michelangelo's Moses has horns.

[@Acidnebula4]

Thats the origin for the weird belief that jews have horns lol

[@endplanets]

Given that Moses then forms a Secret Police and orders followers to kill their family it seems warranted. Now I have new doubts.... when you say 'horn' do you mean 'cow horn' or 'blowing horn' which make fancy noises which glorify others. Some horrible mistranslated of "how face was glorious like a trumpet horn" or something.

You've made Moses such an interesting character who I had never considered before

[@FromNothingICome]

He is easily one of the most important and influential, as well as enigmatic figures in the old testament, and even the entire Bible. He spoke to God directly, face to face, and gave the Jewish people the laws they would follow for millennia. And his brother Aaron was the original High Priest of Israel, and most of the following priests would descend from his lineage. Like if we were gonna rank overall importance of characters for their role in the story... not counting the father / YHVH? (And Mary is probably an extension of Jesus by necessity lol) Moses would probably get #2, right after Jesus. Even Solomon and King David can't quite say that... (Or Noah, Enoch, Abraham... all the heavy hitters from the early days lol) Hell Noah preserved God's creation and saved us from complete destruction... but Moses talked to God face to face (... or as close as you could get to that, more or less... lol) he led the chosen people out of slavery in Egypt to the place where they would become a kingdom of their own, and gave them the laws they would live by for thousands of years. He's kind of a big deal. lol He also seemingly performed repeated miracles... something very few figures in the Bible are known to do. He is a super interesting dude, and a massively important character to the story, and the religion. Some people have speculated that maybe the historical Moses had a relatively high position in that society, maybe even in pharaoh's court... (Similarly some people have speculated that IRL the biblical character of Joseph might have actually been a Pharaoh! ...there's another really interesting character BTW) There are actually quite a few ties between the ancient Israelites and ancient egyptian society and culture. It's interesting stuff and produced a couple of the more interesting biblical figures... and Egyptian thinking (including on spiritual matters) may have had a very direct influence on early Jewish religion... (Not to mention it's said that Jesus also spent some time in Egypt... so there could be secondary Egyptian influence all the way into the new testament, tbh. Personally I think egypt and India are probably where Jesus did some of his most productive thinking and realizing... but that's a whole other rant. lol) *tl;dr* Totally. Moses was a real mensch.^(lol)

Second of all 5:53 the sabbath isn’t a day off it’s a day where you’re required not to work which is a bad thing because that means no making fires, no gathering food, (which you even show in this video) and no long journeys, which means you can’t explore for fun and because of the distance bathrooms had too be at no going to the bathroom either. The second one I’m ok with since it’s a joke but actively and openly endorsing slavery is a disgustingly immoral thing to do I know one subscriber doesn’t make a difference but if you’re actually a moral person one comment hopefully should.

So some scholarly context on the golden calf: There's some evidence that other near-eastern tribes worshiped a YHWH-like god and associated him with a bull. In this context, the golden calf is less the Israelites turning to a random god when Moses turns his back and rather rejecting God trying to be personally present in their midst in favor of a more comfortable and distant relationship they are used to. Hardly the only reading of this story, but one I like as it's much more understandable on the israelites' side.

"Near-eastern tribes" being Canaanites, and the god you referring to being either El or Moloch.

Great video man! Something you you forgot to mention and a flaw in your telling is about the rock with the water. God told Moses to speak to the rock and ask it to give them the water that is inside it, but moses thought it was stupid, and probably fed up with God's convoluted rituals just to get some water. In my personal interpertation Moses found it humiliating to talk to a rock. Anyway, he hit the rock instead of talking to it, which produced the water but God grumbled on the side over how he didn't follow his rules. And God certainly keeps a grudge, because unlike what he promised Moses, when they eventually reach Israel God forbids Moses to enter, exactly because of the rock incident. So I'd say it's kind of an important plotpoint. Other than that, I didn't notice anything wrong. Though to be precise the tribes Moses split were not random groups. they were grouped up based on their decendancy to the twelve sons of Israel. So each tribe was named directly after the equivilant son. Also you didn't mention the part where Moses meets Joshua for the first time, or how Jushua isn't a Hebrew. But that's fine, guess you cut that for time. It is kind of important though because later on Joshua becomes the leader of the Hebrews when invading Cnaan, despite not being a Hebrew himself.

Honestly my favorite Sabbath activity is checking these out before church. Great stuff.

[@MorglortheMangler]

A lot of respect to Moses for being brave enough to try and succeed in guilt tripping god and that guy that kept saying we’re all going to die kept me laughing till my sides hurt.🤣

“The details were bizarrely cryptic.” And Jethro just described the entire issue with the Bible in one sentence.

This was very entertaining. Unlike the Greek mythology I knew the story of exodus already, but even so this is one of my favorite of your videos.

Moses spent 40 days making tablets just to destroy them as soon as he gets back 😂

Someone may have already mentioned this, but I love how throughout these videos Moses’ eyebrows get more angry.

Nice now we Get to see Moses loses all hope and sanity trying the lead the people God saved from slavery but made the entire journey feel worthless due to their own stupidity and lack of gratefulness…

Growing up Catholic, I thought Old Testament God was mean, reading the stories as an Adult, I stopped seeing it that way. Still Catholic and wondering why God hasn’t smit us yet. Kinda happy he hasn’t but we are no better the the Israelites.

[@JaxdoesArt]

Worshiping their gods by sculpting them was the #1 most common way of doing it. The Bible never said they worshipped a non- Yahweh god. It’s super easy to interpret it as saying they portrayed Yahweh as the calf but didn’t know he hated statues yet

[@stupendemysgeographicus5009]

@@JaxdoesArtSomething I learned recently is that many ancient gods were sometimes represented as a bull, including YHWH. In fact there’s actually an ancient description of an Israelite name that roughly translates to “YHWH is a bull”. (Tangentially related, goddesses were often depicted riding a bull, something that the story of Io was probably referencing.)

Just reached the last video in the playlist (this one) I wish there were more. My mom has always tried to get me to read the bible but i always found the text to stiff and strict which blocked me from understanding, I watched this while reading and it made it so much easier to retain .(plus it was cool i got to point out some stuff to my mom she missed). THANK YOU SO MUCH , PLZ post more

[@TheLofren]

Moses disappearing for 40 days and then having to wear a veil sounds a lot like Moses dying and Aaron having to find some dude to pretend to be Moses.
