A Podcast of Biblical Proportions

1 Creator

A Podcast of Biblical Proportions dives into ancient Hebrew history and ancient Hebrew stories. Our time machine is the texts ancient Hebrew scribes wrote, including stories, historical accounts, songs, poems, prophecies, laws, rules, and regulations. Most of these texts can be found in the Hebrew Bible, aka the Old Testament or the Tanakh. This English-speaking podcast brings a new perspective to reading the Hebrew Bible — that of the person who wrote it, immersing ourselves in their world and perspective. We started with Genesis chapter 1, and have been proceeding in the order in which the texts appear in the Bible. Join Hebrew-speaking writer and editor Gil Kidron on a journey of biblical proportions into the lives of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. Since Judaism and Christianity came out of their writings, they ended up laying the groundwork for so much of human culture.

The first two Jacob stories have a similar theme: Jacob outsmarts and out-maneuvers his twin brother Esau to get ahead. But the differences between the two versions are even more interesting and reveal two story-telling traditions that are ages apart. Support our podcast on Patreon!
