I admire your work Dr. Benner on the Mechanical Translation of the OT as it gives much help in understanding the ancient Hebraic ways. However, I've a question Dr. Benner on ancient Hebrew wife's ownership of the family tent. If in the culture of the ancient Hebrews, only the female spouse owned the tent, how can we explain Genesis 13:5 where it says: "And Lot [who was not a wife] also, which went with Abram, HAD flocks, and herds, and TENTS"? Thank you.
@labmobasinatnat In this context, it is simply stating that all that was under the control of Lot went with him, including all the tents, which can also mean everything within the tents including the furnishings, family, etc.
Jeff - as regarding the woman owning the tent - this makes perfect sense in light of scripture. Isaiah 54 tells the barren woman to expand her tent to accommodate her children. My question - does the woman's ownership only apply to the nomadic (the ohel) as opposed to the constructed house?
Thank you for voicing your research. I have learned the hard way that the bible is not infallible as is the creator of the universe. I suppose that is why it was spoken aloud that those who add or take away from His word would be cursed. If it were not possible, then why the warnning? all of life, eternal or other wise is based on interpretation, perspective and perception. May we have spiritual eyes to really see our God!
Let me tell you what is wrong with bible the world know today... Is the anti-hellenic anti-dodekatheism emperor Constantinos of Constantinople. He took the bible and translate it in to Greek to rule the Greek-Roman empire. The bible as we know it was written for geopolitical reasons not for God. Hellenic Cosmogony and Deucalion' s cataclysm were changed to Bible and Noah' s cataclysm. That is my real problem as a Hellene. Bible misinterpret Hellenic Cosmogony and Phoebus our god the Shining-one.
Tent, hmmm a tent covers and protects, so does the womb of a woman. Are tent and womb related in Hebrew? And Deborah's palm tree; does it say her tree too? What does palm tree stand for in the cultural context of those days?
Tent and womb are two different words and are not related although this doesn't mean that they may have seen them as similar. Palm tree is kaph (literally meaning the palm of the hand) which is anything that is palm shaped.
Deborah being a judge and prophetess; ruling with a righteous hand. What does kaph stand for in Ps 119? For in this Psalm, every single letter of the alphabet is explained in the following verses. So, that what quality of the characteristics of the Echad does kaph refer to?
Hey, that's interesting; the sentences in Sanskrit hang on a 'washing line' as I call it. Do they also write it underneath the line? Sanskrit is an ancient language as well, could they be related?
Okay, pertaining to the female attributes of the Ehhad; is any of the attributes related to the hebrew word womb, within the (cultural) contex of Provider?
Are you seriously claiming that the Jews don't know their own Torah after centuries of study and commentary? If not, then please explain why the text isn't translated as you claim.
Awesome Video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed check out this site called sl8t.(com) It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 channels up with videos at top in position, this is my forth channel I'm going to working on now.
Sorry for the parenthesis around the com, some reason Youtube will not let you give an actual address in a comment. Real weird. Have a Blessed day!
PLEASE Jeff, make a video on "shahhah" and the Greek equivalent... "proskuneo", since understanding culture is key to understand these words. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. You are so correct, bias can creep in all over the place and is almost impossible to eliminate, no matter how careful we are. The trick is to realize that we are bias and be willing to bend, change and shift based on the facts. This is something the KJV onlyers will NEVER do.
Without the benefit of your ancient Hebrew knowledge I guessed this after reading Friedrich Engels work The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.
Culturally, in most early societies property is held by the sibling family with a strong matriarch. The males special place/role but the actual ownership falls to the children of the matriarch and her sibling sisters etc.
I also stumbled on this when researching my Scot ancestory.
As you have discovered zthustra, no matter period of history we study, cultures are different. But too often people just assume that all people think and act just like we do. I find the ancient cultures fascinating, whether they are Hebrews, Scots or Germanic (I'm descended from the Germanic peoples myself).
It appears that in Bible times larger tents were usually divided into at least two compartments by means of hanging tent cloths. The tent of Sarah mentioned at Genesis 24:67 may refer to her compartment or to a tent that she alone occupied, for some wealthy men had a number of tents, and women sometimes were assigned their own tents. (Ge 13:5; 31:33) Probably mats were used on the ground inside the tent.
That is very true dunklaw, the tent was divided into two section, one side for the men and the other for the women. As we see in the Bedouin culture, only the father of the tent is allowed in the women's side, however the women are allowed on the men's side. 31:33 is, as you said, probably referring to her side of the tent.

Try this toledoghost. Go to a Rabbi (without mentioning Gen 9:21 or the other verses in question) and ask them to translate the following words;
אהלי
אהלך
אהלו
אהלה
Then come and let's talk, I think you will be surprised.
