The Hebrew Gospel & The Seat of Moses / Nehemia Gordon

Arguments of Authenticity〚 Interviewed by: Dr. Nehemia Gordon 〛5/30/23
Join Ross K. Nichols and Nehemia Gordon (‪@Nehemiaswall‬) in this enlightening video as they delve into the fascinating variances between the Hebrew and Greek texts of Matthew 23:2-3. This discussion stems from Ross Nichols' discovery in 1995 of a significant variant reading in Shem Tob’s Hebrew Matthew, which he first explored in his article "A Note on Matthew 23:2-3 According to Shem Tob’s Hebrew Matthew." [bibleinterp.ar...].
In this dialogue, Nichols and Gordon explore the implications of the Hebrew text where the phrase יאמר "he says" introduces a singular authority, contrasting sharply with the plural interpretations common in the Greek texts. This key difference highlights a unique perspective on the authority of Moses versus the Pharisees and Scribes, aligning more coherently with the theological themes of Matthew's Gospel.
Nehemia Gordon, who credited Nichols in his 2005 book, The Hebrew Yeshua vs. The Greek Jesus, discusses how this variant reading provided new light on the debated "seat of Moses." This video covers their insights into the text and reflects on how recognizing this solution has shed light on an old enigma, offering fresh perspectives for understanding this passage.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these biblical texts through the insights of two scholars engaged in the study of textual variants and their implications for interpreting the New Testament.

Ross. I read your book, The Moses Scroll. Also read Ginsburg's translation and watched your video, Did Jeremiah use the Moses Scroll. I am fascinated with the fact that sacrificing wasn't part of the original Law. If this is true, the pre-exile prophets should also reflect this. I studied them and saw that several OT prophets spoke against sacrificial practices. Thanks for bringing an awareness to this topic

[@LuminousMindGames]

Shalom Shabbath This is indeed a fascinating subject. Could you please cite some verses from pre-exilic prophets that corroborate this assertion? Thanks in advance

🚫 Flesh Eating and burnt Offerings: ❤️ This really deep deception!!! Going through our cannon there are several verses that ABA NEVER wanted any blood sacrifices!!! This is very understandable if we go back to The Garden of Eden and OUR CREATOR’S original intent for man! Our food was vegetation. THE FATHER is The CREATOR of life!!! How could HE take pleasure in burning of any flesh ???!!! Supporting verses: Psalm 50: 7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. Jeremaiah 7: 21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Isaiah 1: 10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isaiah 66: 1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. Food Was Bread: Nehemiah 9:15 And (a)gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and (b) broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they (c)should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. Cross References: a. Numbers 14:30 Exodus 16:14,15 John 6:31 b. Exodus 17:6 Numbers 20:9-13 c. Deu 1:8

Ross, Nehemiah's book is where I first saw your name back about 2005. I later met you in Charlotte in 2008. I literally pulled it out yesterday to recheck this reading and saw his footnote about you. And it is still sitting on my desk. Wow, is that some kind of synchronicity or what?!!

[@E23Dav]

I do have Nehemia Gordon's book and am embarrassed to say I didnt recognize Ross until later (an indictment on my own reading). This makes sense now. Wow.

How do we get access to the written works of Ross and Mark Powell , “ Do and sleep What Moses Said” ??????

How can we learn Hebrew???? What is the very best method….. please tell!!!

[@LuminousMindGames]

Shalom In Strong's Hebrew concordance entry H3678 כסא it states that seat, stool, throne, etc. is a masculine noun. At timestamp 2:35 of this video, Nehemia states that "chair" is feminine. Could you reconcile this please? Thank you and Shalom Shabbath

[@That_one_introvert.]

The Hebrew word כִּסֵּה (kiseh), which means "throne" or "chair," is masculine. I'm not sure why he said it's feminine.

[@GeekRights]

Is the Latin version that also had "he" available anywhere?

It is not my field, but you can start here. The Old Latin ff2 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Corbeiensis_II

Was Yahusha name blotted out of the book? They sat in Moses seat, whatever they bound on earth is bound in heaven. They made Yahusha sin. But he had another name before the world was , Yahuah.

Interrupting your guest doesn’t come across as professional conduct… after the third time you interrupted him I’ve decided to stop watching this video.

[@RossKNicholsTV]

This was first published on Nehemia's channel and was part of nearly 3 hours of discussion. We decided to post it on our channel since we believe that the main point - the variant reading I discovered in 1995 - is an important reading and provides a solution to a long-debated text. Thanks for watching (or trying to watch:)

Nehemiah shaved his head and face and I believe he’s a closet Messianic Christian. He’s sneaky.
