Love it. Can't wait to learn more. I've been doing a study and sharing on the birth of the church and specifically who birthed the church. And what you've shared is right on target with what I've found in terms of the Roman church seeking authority over the other messianic congregations especially in Asia where we find the 7 churches or Messianic Communities spoken to in the Revelation of Yeshua given to John. There was a serious thread of anti-Jewish thought coming out of Rome especially after 70 AD which led to basically disassociation from Judaism, the Sabbath and Feast Days and basically anything Jewish. Many times we lauded Constantine for a great work and as a deliverer of the church and though he definitely put an end to the persecution and mass death of believers in Yeshua, he instituted Nicaean Christianity which was not quite what the Disciples of Yeshua passed on to the Followers of the Way. In fact many who did not go along with the Roman church and openly disagreed with them were also martyred such as Polycarp who was Bishop of the church in Smyrna. From my research it shows that within a couple hundred years, Rome began to make decisions on who could become Bishops and essentially which churches received support and which were shut down. A deviation from the Masoretic text would have been part and parcel with this separation from Judaism and their desire to give a higher place to church tradition would have labelled anyone disagreeing with them as heretic. Mind you these traditions were ultimately the inclusion of Roman traditions and pagan worship and deviation from observing the Feast Days like Passover as the day to commemorate Messiah's passion. Anyway maybe you'll explore some of these same facts in the videos to come. Can't wait! Well done 👏👏👏

Enhorabuena on your new baby! This is an excellent discussion of the MT and I hope it gets a wide viewership, especially in Bible colleges and similar.

[@Monoglossia]

Thanks so much for this course. I just started a new job where I deal with stemmatology of the Hebrew Bible, so its's coming in super handy!

[@BoneyWhy]

It's nice to see someone explain how our Lord spoke directly of the TaNaK. Your beard looks nice, but I hope it doesn't turn into one of those long, messy types everyone is wearing these days! Thanks for sharing your gift!

[@kerrytusc]

More, please…

[@JosephMwanyika-u5x]

Thanks so much Mr אברם for helping us to understand the history of our יהוה words in scriptures form but my question is the time has been passing and some words are not used even by the today hebrew speakers.How the researchers of the sriptures be able to identify the meaning.

[@NoIdeaOnAnAlias]

Great presentation! I do feel however that one thing that was said around the 3:50 mark is not necessarily accurate or could be taken and twisted. To say that the spirit could cause scribes to make different editions of the same book, is a bit inaccurate because then anyone in our time could say that they were inspired by the spirit and add verses anywhere in the scriptures, and say that the spirit led them to it or even say that if it was done then, then why cant it be done now. Thus by these alterations (that most likely would not be by way of the spirit), these individuals could possibly and very catastrophically, alter the reading of the text thus changing the doctrine and the very understanding of scripture itself.

Hi Abram ! Love your background of the text, but ... Where is Beth Longing for some more Hebrew. Why not reading some stories from the bible. Jonah + Ruth ?

[@AlephwithBeth]

Beth just had a baby. You can see our announcement on our socials.

What's your thought on the HBCE project, which also works on an eclectic text of the תנ"ך?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Bolaway]

In certain point, Tiberias was right. They modified the text of Zecharyah about "pierced" in a way to negate Yeshua. Good that Qumran manuscripts refuted what They did. Tsadok Ben Derech made a video about it few years ago

[@chrishouseofdawid]

Zechariah never talked about a messiah being pierced.

[@Ralbuug]

One word does not make everything else about Jesus theology correct. It’s like saying I’m the King of the USA because my great-grandfather was named George.

[@BesserGlauben]

Yeah that's not correct. There exists only a single manuscript in the Qumran collection of Zech 12:10, which only has "רו" of the relevant text - which is exactly the same as the masoretic text. Nobody modified anything in the masoretic text and the masoretic text doesn't even negate anyone being pierced, the masoretic text explicitly says it.

21:07 You should do verbs the way Beth does. "N-Q-D" is the root, "niqqéd" (in the pi33él pattern) is the verb. There is no verb "naqád" in the qal pattern in Hebrew (unless you count the participle "noqéd", but it refers to a shepherd...)
