Ancient Bible

Michelle returns after a long break. She tells us about her holiday, a new podcast forthcoming, and her new Hebrew program. Daniel reviews Michelle on the Qal perfect (Qatal) verb pattern and introduces the Qal imperfect (Yiqtol) with a song!

Joey Dodson joins the podcast to school Daniel and Caleb in the grammar of the Lord's Prayer. Daniel realizes how much he sucks at Greek and finds a way to bring up Leviticus anyway. Greek audio used from http://www.helding.net/greeklatinaudio/greek/

Caleb and Daniel move to the second section of the 'olah sacrifice: flock animals. They note some differences with the bovine section while continuing to discuss verb morphology and basic syntax. Thanks to Talking Bibles for the rabbi recordings!

Daniel talks sacrifice while Mark tells us about Lamentations. We even do some Leviticus!

Daniel does Greek with Mike Aubrey. Mike is a Koine Greek linguist who runs koine-greek.com. He has contributed to a number of books including The Greek Verb Revisited.

Where Dr. Athas sets the record straight on coffee, sacrifice, and Levitical veqatals. Also, we parse Leviticus 1:4-6.

Caleb and Daniel discuss the beginning of Leviticus, including the pivotal כי that is often ignored. Christian talks about his research, living in Jerusalem, and working in archaeology.

Daniel sits down with John Hobbins during SBL to talk about being a pastor-scholar, John's book on Genesis 1-11, and the first two days of the creation story.

Daniel and Caleb finish the book of Ruth. The Rabbi sings a toledot. And one verb is hard to parse.

Caleb and Daniel discuss Ruth 4:11-15. Who is the go'el that the women of the town are talking about? Is it God? Is it Boaz? Or is it someone else?

Caleb and Daniel continue with the last chapter of Ruth.

Michelle is back at it and beginning biblical Hebrew verbs. In this episode, she gets a short introduction to the verb system, hear Daniel sing the Qatal paradigm song, and sings a song from School House Rock!

Caleb and Daniel continue Ruth 4. In addition to basic grammar, they discuss the difference between a Ketiv and a Qere reading and the Chris Tomlin method of biblical Hebrew. Enjoy!

some patristics talk, a beautiful psalm of new orientation, and an iterative veqatal verb

Caleb and Daniel begin Ruth 4 and talk about embodied meaning

Caleb and Daniel finish Ruth chapter 3... finally.

Caleb and Daniel discuss definite articles on (allegedly) finite verbs, issues of Ruth 3:15, and some textual criticism.

Michelle asks a question from her husband. Daniel answers and answers and answers some more.

ABP025 Ruth 3:11-14

Ruth 3 starts heating up as Jimmy Parks joins Caleb and Daniel.
