The Dead Sea scrolls confirm the info in surah Al kahf. According to historians the Essenes lived in caves for 300 years and they used a solar calendar unlike other Israelites who used a lunar calendar. This is confirmed in surah Al kahf where Allah almighty is pulling our attention to the mathematical conversion (300 years and 309 years) one is solar calendar years and the other is Lunar calendar years. Allah would not have made the conversion if the essenes used a lunar calendar. This info was only discovered in the Dead Sea scrolls and not known before that.

You should read the books yourself. Paul has a tendency not to be very accurate in what he reports what others say. He refers to the Birmingham folies as if they are a complete quran, they are not. And more than 75% of surah 33 are missing, so why would he worry about 15% of one book of the Hebrew Bible not being used today. That alone makes Paul a hypocrite and what he says must be taken with a pinch of salt.

Also in the scroll is a group who followed someone they called the righteous teacher 150-100 years before Jesus and many things in gospels were clearly taken from this group, for all we know the gospel writers were probably part of this group

[@michaelaltman7838]

two silver scroll amulets from the Ketef Hinnom archaeological site are the oldest pieces of the Torah ever found in the world. The scrolls were discovered in 1979 and were estimated to be from around the late seventh or early sixth century BCE. The two small strips of silver contain what is known as the Priestly Benediction, from the Book of Numbers (the fourth book of the Torah), making it the oldest biblical passage ever found on an ancient artifact. The curse tablet of Mount Ebal about 1000 BCE

[@XaeeD]

So Hebrew scriptures from the Tanakh in the Dead Sea Scrolls would lack the type of phonetic vowel markings that were standardized much later in time; is that right? Songs of Solomon 5:11 His head is as the finest gold; his locks are curled, [they are as] black as a raven. Rashi comments on the meaning of "his head is as gold", saying: "[it] glistens like the finest gold. כֶּתֶם is a term referring to the treasures of kings which they store in their treasure houses, and similarly, (Lam. 4:1): “[How] changed is the fine gold jewelry (הַכֶּתֶם) ,” and similarly, (Job 31:24): “and to jewelry (לַכֶּתֶם) I said, ‘My confidence,’” and similarly, (Prov. 25:12): “and jewelry of finest gold (כָתֶם).” So this man is being described as a King. He isn't literally wearing a physical crown, but his head is still like the purest gold. This indicates spiritual and social status. Rashi then mentions that "hair as black as a raven" is a quality of beauty. This is what verse 11 literally says in Hebrew: rō-šōw ke-ṯem pāz his head [is] like gold; (the) finest qəw-wṣ-ṣō-w-ṯāw tal-tal-lîm his locks; wavy (like palm-branches) This is quite a strange literary device. This particular form only occurs in this verse. The Brown-Driver-Briggs dictionary says: "envelope or sheath of spadix of date-palm, with which hair is often compared in Arabic poetry", and that's why it's usually translated as "locks of wavy hair", but they aren't exactly sure what it means. They take that meaning from Arabic poetry, as there's no Biblical passage that uses this word, and nowhere else are any similar forms ever translated to mean "bushy locks". These are two nouns, by the way. So it's actually quite a difficult expression to translate. šə-ḥō-rō-wṯ kā-‘ō-w-rêḇ (and) [they are] black like a raven Note that the word for "(like a) raven" there is very similar to "(like an) Arab", if you'd subtly change it. In Ezekiel 27:21, it says עֲרַב֙ In Genesis 8:7, it says עֹרֵ֑ב The first ‘ă·raḇ means Arabia, whereas ‘ō-rêḇ in Genesis is a crow. Job 38:41 עֹרֵ֗ב Psalm 83:11 עֹרֵ֣ב The first ‘ō-rêḇ is a crow, while ‘ō·rêḇ in the Psalm is a proper noun and name: Oreb (a name of a Midianite, and of a cliff near the Jordan river). Job 24:5 עֲרָבָ֥ה That's ‘ă-rā-ḇāh, which now means desert or wilderness. Isaiah 13:20 עֲרָבִ֔י Nehemiah 2:19 הָֽעַרְבִ֔י This says ‘ă·rā·ḇî, which means an Arab, or an Arabian. Nehemiah reads hā-‘ar-ḇî, meaning "the Arab". The point being that "crow" and "Arab" are extremely similar in writing, and pronunciations differ only because of small diacritics. If the text hasn't been properly preserved, and isn't 100% intact, then another reading of šə-ḥō-rō-wṯ kā-‘ō-w-rêḇ might have said: "(and) [his hairs are] black like an Arab" The preposition kā here doesn't necessarily literally mean 'a resemblance', as kāna in Arabic can mean "to be", because ka- can mark the present tense. Kayqūl ma bḡa means "he says (presently) what he wants" and it wouldn't mean that 'it's similar to' "saying what he wants". Consider: "His head (is) as the finest gold, (and) his locks (are) black as an Arab('s typically are)". I've often wondered if my inquiry (and pseudo analysis) here could be valid, and if the scribes could've 'tweaked' the word, in order to change the meaning. After all, why would this text be describing an Arab? To them, that must've sounded strange. Maybe some ancient scribe thought that he was about to copy a previously made error, and that he needed to correct it. Other geographic designations, however, are used in Songs 5 to describe aspects of this individual and/or others (e.g. Lebanon and Jerusalem). Jeremiah 3:2 כַּעֲרָבִ֖י Songs 5:11 כָּעוֹרֵֽב Ka·‘ă·rā·ḇî from Jeremiah literally means "like an Arab", while kā·‘ō·w·rêḇ in Songs 5:11 means "like a raven". עֲרָבִי עֹרֵב Arabian: Ayin, Resh, Bet Raven: Ayin, Resh, Bet If we omit the Kaf in Jeremiah 3:2, it leaves us with the letters Ayin, Resh, Bet, but when we omit the Kaf in Songs, we have Ayin, Waw, Resh, Bet. Why is that? Why does it include the Waw here? Can anyone comment on that? "Raven" in Job 38:41, Genesis 8:7 and "Oreb" in Psalm 83:11 all lack a Waw. I don't understand why Songs' "raven" is spelled as A-W-R-B. It seems to be the only instance "raven" is written like that. Isaiah 34:11 wə-yan-šō-wp̄ wə-‘ō-rêḇ and the owl and the raven Here, וְעֹרֵ֖ב is spelled as A-R-B, as seems to be typical. Also, I can't really detect a rhyme scheme in the text, but I don't know Hebrew, so I'm not entirely sure there is none, and if there is; how it's structured. The previous verse ends with mê-rə-ḇā-ḇāh, and then verse 10 ends with šə-ḥō-rō-wṯ kā-‘ō-w-rêḇ, and in the middle of 12 it says rō-ḥă-ṣō-wṯ be-ḥā-lāḇ. Again, this is highly speculative on my part, and rooted in ignorance, but mê-rə-ḇā-ḇāh - šə-ḥō-rō-wṯ kā-‘ă·rāḇ - rō-ḥă-ṣō-wṯ be-ḥā-lāḇ kinda sounds more like a pattern to me. I looked up this chapter in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but it appears they haven't translated this part yet, or it doesn't exist in the scrolls. I could only find a translation of the first verse: Lover 1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; Friends! Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved. And this is filled with sidenotes. Different words, words with different spellings, English words supplied to make it readable wherever words are missing, etc. I think only six words of the above translation are identical to the traditional text. The rest all seem to be problematic in one way or another. At the top it says about this chapter: "Translation process is ongoing." This translation is from the 4Q107 Canticles (manuscript), labled 6Q6? I assume this describes the cave it's been found in, at Qumran. It's dated to 30 B.C - 68 A.D. The site says there are 4 scrolls containing (parts or fragments of) Songs of Solomon. Yet, verse 1 is all they got for chapter 5? Kinda meager, no? I don't know how up-to-date this particular website is. And I'm curious if 5:11 is included, and (if so), how it 'could' be read.

What a beautifully lucid account. It is a very important subject for me because I have an interest in the esoteric aspects of theology as communicated by means of gematria. It was certainly understood from the time Matthew 5,18 was written that the displacement of a single jot or tittle is enough to destroy the intended gematria reading. It strikes me as certain that numerical interpretations of the Torah were preserved as a tradition from the time they were composed (whenever that may have been). For example a numerical analysis of the first verse of Genesis reveals extremely meaningful and information-rich patterns. The tradition is that these numerical features were known to Moses, but it is possible they result from editing/composition in much later periods. Is it possible the first seven words of the Torah are not original and have been heavily tinkered with, or does the balance of probability lie with them accurately recording ancient canonical secrets?

thank you for this video, but one thing that bothered me is that in the early parts of your video you mention dates an centuries allot, but in the later parts of the video you talk about books and new and old testament and the canon, but you don't talk about when those are? could you add a pinned comment or description with timestamps when you talk about books from which century or time it was from.

Tbh, the terms "Complete Bible" is kinda missleading at this point. what I mean is that we dont have the "Complete Bible" today, as we all know some individuals make their own version of "Complete Bible". and on top of that, the exegeses from the church and the layman are kinda full of missguidance and all over the place as well from the "Complete Bible" itself. 15:40 About the "Book of Isaiah" I wonder why it preserve like that. hmm

People tend to forget a very important aspect of the bible That being it primarily was an oral tradition memorised by talmidim/Talmed (hebrew and aramaic for "narrator") it had many oral iterations in aramaic, some like the Vetus Syria which is a reconstruction of the XIX to XX century, of an earlier manuscript compiled by a Christian monk on the 2nd century A.D. The Vetus Syria even predates the aramaic greek revisions of the 5th century a.D. in which Christian bishops revised aramaic bibles to better align to Greek cognates and grammatical structure Best example of this being the Aramaic Bible of the Christians of Edesa and their Bishop Rabula. One can only wonder why the church felt the need to align aramaic text to greek grammar and loan words ;) But the bigger point would be that Aramaic texts predated the compilation of the greek bible, since precisely te greek revision ocurred in the fifth century a.D. pretty much at the same time the Greek Bible was compiled, since we know the Greek Bible earliest manuscripts date to this century. Implying really aramaic prints of the vetus syria are way more reliable than Hebrew even, because Aramaic is the primary language of oral transmision, and the vetus syria is a reconstruction of a pre-greek revision manuscript. Hebrew reconstructions such as the Leningrad and most hebrew prints that come from it are only partially reliable in comparision to Aramaic manuscripts comming from the Vetus Syria.
