The culture and lifestyle of the Hebrew nomads have a direct relationship to their language, the same language used in the Bible. Understanding this nomadic lifestyle assists the reader of the Bible to better interpret the text.

  • how do you figure David was a nomad? yes, he tended the flocks, but his family was based in a permanent dwelling (bethleham). There is a BIG different between being a nomad and overseeing flocks on a family range.

  • @chosen1atWork This is why studying ancient cultures is so very important. Most people assume their own personal cultural perspectives on the Biblical text. We think of a "family range" as a tract of land local to the main house. She ranchers may be out in the field all day, but home for dinner. This is not how the family ranges worked in the middle east. There, they would be gone for months at a time and range hundreds of miles from home, that, by definition, is a nomad.

  • This is well done...I've heard something similar to this before. Do you meet in Paltalk regularly?

  • Yes, I do. I go by Nomad Man in Paltalk. What is your nic?

  • Very interesting video. Is this from a lecture you gave?

  • This particular one was a teaching I did in Paltalk. Some of my videos are from lectures I have done around the country and others are ones I record at home.

  • @ancienthebreworg ....but that would not apply to the israelites after the exodus.. the tribes were given territories and whatever they did would be inside those territories.. and not 100's of miles either... their home would be in a permanent place while the shepard may be out with the sheep for a week or so.. with a permanent home base, that is NOT the definition of a nomad.. the definition is the home moving with them....

  • I am curious.. i hear alot of talk about the isrealites being nomads and tent dwellers and such.. but correct me if i am wrong, how much of that is really true after the exodus? many dwelt in cities after the settlement, and except for the book of genesis, the people were not nomadic... at least not any more as they had land in their name in the family territory. nomads do not have fixed dwellings.. at least not that i understand.

  • sometimes I wish I have a nomadic job because I don't want to be tied in a place with 8 months of freezing snow XD but seriously this world ain't a permanent dwelling place for a Christian or the people of God in the ancient times.

  • The Tagalog language was almost obliterated by the Spanish colonialism.

    see even before Jesus Christ was born in human form it is written in the the book of Isaiah that the earth is round - a fact later proven by mankind thousands of years after the book was written.

  • Ishmael was a nomad

  • Interesting video

  • Hi i'm on paltalk too as PILMAN. Interesting videos.
