Rabbi Chaim Eisen is joining us from Israel! He has been teaching, editing, and publishing on the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Midrash, Medieval Jewish Philosophy, and more for over 40 years. In this episode, we talk about the third section of the Hebrew Bible called the “Ketuvim” or the “Writings.” The order of the books of the Hebrew Bible are very different from the order that many experience in Bibles in Christian communities. The way that books are grouped can impact how we interpret the books themselves. Learning about very old traditions of the Hebrew order can yield interesting insights for those engaging with the Hebrew Bible. We give special attention to Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Chronicles, and even talk about the Holy Spirit in Rabbinic tradition.

Dr. Douglas K. Smith gives a presentation based on his PhD dissertation in which he does a blended discourse analysis of the flood account in both the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT) and Greek Septuagint (LXX). His goal is to validate a holistic methodology that can 1) discern the structure, coherence, and communicative purpose of the discourse and 2) compare the versions to reveal and assess the translation strategies of the translator of Greek Genesis. The presentation is followed by questions from Matthew Delaney and Dr. Nathan French.
Dr. Smith is a Professor, Researcher, and Speaker with a PhD in Biblical Studies from Columbia International University.
Be sure to check out Dr. Smith’s YouTube channel: Studying the Biblical Languages. The goal of his YouTube channel is “Encouraging and equipping people on the journey to learn the languages of the Bible: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek”

What does the Bible have to say about wisdom? Matthew Delaney (MA Biblical Literature and Semitic Languages) discusses a part of Scripture where the English word for wisdom might not show up even though the Hebrew word does appear. This teaching has implications for how we understand Exodus, how we approach career, and has a challenging and encouraging message about our God given gifts and callings.

How do we make sense of not only the story of David and Bathsheba, but also the number of scenes that ensue after involving a number a difficult passages relating to David? Dr. Nathan French (PhD Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East) presents his original academic research on Divine Retribution in the Throne Succession Narrative (2 Samuel 9-20 and 1 Kings 1-2). The hermeneutical principle of divine retribution sheds light on how the authors of Scripture and their neighbors crafted narratives and what they were trying to emphasize. Nathan shares a number of other insights into the ancient Near Eastern context such as: how does the concept of levirate marriage apply to Bathsheba and how does the designation of Uriah as a resident alien impact the story? The presentation is followed by a discussion between Nathan and Matthew Delaney (MA Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages).

Job is one of the most profound and controversial books of the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew language of its 39 chapters of poetry is the most difficult to understand of the whole corpus of the Hebrew Bible. Yet it is the 3 chapters of narrative that have garnered the most attention - and understandably so - because of a rare setting: the divine council of God. What is the divine council and who is in this group? How does understanding this impact our interpretation of the book of Job?

One of the most popular verses about "vision" that is used in teaching about personal and group vision statements is Habakkuk 2:2, but what is the original context of this verse? Understanding what is meant by "vision" both generally and specifically in the book of Habakkuk is essential to not taking this verse out of context. Unfortunately, Habakkuk 2 also causes confusion due to an unhelpful chapter division. Once the flow of Habakkuk as a book is seen, the themes and message of the book come to the forefront. The ideas behind "vision" are different but more important than we might have ever thought.
