    After Horeb's Day of Assembly

    Leaving Egypt〚 After Horeb's Day of Assembly 〛Pentateuch in Perspective The Bible's Book of Deuteronomy refers to the day God spoke His Ten Words from the midst of the fire on Horeb as the "Day of the Assembly." This foundational event is described in detail in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Each presents the same basic story, but each version provides different details. In this class, we explore these two versions by comparing and contrasting our sources side-by-side in a method known as horizontal study. What can we learn when we compare and contrast similar narratives within the Bible? Are there textual variants within the Hebrew Bible? Yes, and this class introduces the subject and seeks to provide a tool to benefit all who wish to study the Bible to discover the truth from our varied sources. ◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] ◉ Download the worksheet [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

    The Decalogue Dilemma

    Leaving Egypt〚 The Decalogue Dilemma 〛Pentateuch in Perspective The giving of the Decalogue is a pivotal event in the Bible, but how well do we truly understand it? This class will explore the different versions of the Ten Words, inconsistencies in the narrative, and the mistranslation of "Ten Commandments." How many commandments are actually listed? Why do the versions differ? And what does this reveal about the text’s development? Join us as we unravel the complexities of one of the most foundational yet misunderstood biblical passages. ◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

    Where is the LOST Sea of the Exodus?

    Leaving Egypt〚 Where is the LOST Sea of the Exodus 〛Pentateuch in Perspective The crossing of the Red Sea is one of the most iconic moments in the Exodus story—but what if the sea’s true identity has been lost to history? The Hebrew text doesn’t actually say Red Sea, and the name Yam Suf is applied to at least three different bodies of water. So, which one—if any—is the real crossing site? How deep are these waters? And just how big would the miracle need to be? Join us as we explore the textual, geographical, and archaeological clues behind the Lost Sea of the Exodus! ◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

    Beshallach (Torah Pearls: S3E16)

    Torah Pearls〚 Beshallach 〛Season Three Did the Israelites really cross the Red Sea? Was it the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba, or something else entirely? In this episode of Torah Pearls, we dive into Parashat Beshallach (Exodus 13:17–17:16) and examine the scholarly perspectives on the Exodus route, the pillar of cloud, and the role of the Philistines in the narrative. We also tackle the controversial claims of Ron Wyatt regarding chariot wheels on the seabed. Join us as we separate biblical history from myth, archaeology from speculation, and discover what the text really says about this pivotal moment in Israel’s journey. ◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

    Passover: The Forgotten Festival

    Leaving Egypt〚 Passover: The Forgotten Festival 〛Pentateuch in PerspectiveIntroduced as part of the Exodus narrative, Passover is commanded as an annual observance, a lasting memorial of deliverance. Yet, despite this charge, the Hebrew Bible records only a handful of observances—and even reports that it was forgotten entirely for centuries!This class examines the biblical record of Passover’s institution and its scattered observances, uncovering the story of the festival that was meant to be remembered but was seemingly abandoned. What happened to this foundational feast, and what does its absence tell us about the evolution of biblical tradition? ◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

    Bo (Torah Pearls: S3E15)

    Torah Pearls〚 Bo 〛Season ThreeIn this episode of Torah Pearls, Jono, Ross, and Ezra dive into the dramatic final plagues on Egypt and the first Passover. We explore the theological tension between Pharaoh’s hardened heart—was it his choice, or did God override his free will? What is the mysterious unnamed festival the Israelites seek to observe? Who—or what—is The Destroyer? We also tackle biblical contradictions: How many times can the same cows die? What body of water is meant by "Red Sea"? Did more than 600,000 Israelites leave Egypt? Plus, we critically examine Passover's origins, the significance of 430 years, and whether the biblical text presents conflicting views on the sacrificial system. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional readings and uncovers the hidden layers in the Exodus story!◉ Watch the video [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]
