Torah Pearls: Vayishlach

Hello everyone!

(Commenting on timestamp 41:26) This could be wrong but I think Joseph had been gone for 12 years when Isaac was buried. Jacob was 108 years old when Joseph was sold (Joseph 17). Jacob was 120 years old when Isaac died. 120 - 108 = 12 years. Which would have made Joseph (in prison 29 years old) Ross, I’m trying to help you out since you dislike math and I LOVE figuring the ages of the biblical characters per each life event . 🤣

Are you unaware of Judaism altering scriptures? "The Origins of Judaism"

Yonatan Adler, yes, read it. That’s not a crystal clear case about what was altered or added. I made the point on a stream I was on last Sunday. Fascinating point though. My personal opinion is that Ezra is a character that was penned by the Hasmoneans.

@@BibleTheory I reject Ezra and Nehemiah - not in the DSS - and what they did was the basis of the greatest errors in Judaism... We have NT books that don't belong as part of the "Bible" - and the provably tainted OT needs cleaning up too. "V" makes the most sense of anything read to date.
