Love this one the most. All these are fascinating though. I’ve recently embarked on textual criticism research and these videos are such a blessing! Thank you for all the links you provide to the scans of these manuscripts. Immensely helpful and appreciated!

Why would they be shortened if they have more lines (who rebukes evil...)?

[@manuscriptspotlight9077]

Good question, my guess is that whoever made/used these amulets wanted some "extra" protection on top of the standard priestly blessing, so they condensed the priestly blessing to add the extra lines.

i have just discovered your channel, subscribed, and am in the process of binge-watching everything! i would love to see an interview or collaboration with you and Dr Justin Sledge of the youtube channel ESOTERICA. you should reach out, he loves talking about this stuff. -thank you for all you have put into this, it is absolutely par excellence!

[@manuscriptspotlight9077]

Thank you for the encouragement! I've enjoyed watching some of Dr. Sledge's videos on Esoterica in the past and would love to do a collaboration someday. Stay tuned for more!

a collaboration with Dr. Daniel Wallace and Dr. Michael Heiser (if he’s able 😢 🙏🏻) would also be fascinating!
