DeMille’s version of events. In the spotlight is the burning bush scene where very clearly God revealed his one and only name to Moses. With instructions for present and future use, he left no room for misunderstanding. We look at how we got so messed up and what to do about it. The light of language, history and context is also shed on the following: Did Jewish slaves build the pyramids? Were the midwives Hebrew or Egyptian? What is the Egyptian context of the name Moses? Do we know the identity of the man whom Moses witnessed being beaten? Did Moses “help” or “save” the daughters of Jethro? Where did Moses feel like a stranger? What is comforting about the three signs given to the Israelites? What did a zealous scribe do to protect the name of Moses from being tainted? Word studies include: "swarmed," "task masters," "dread," "lively," “heavy tongue,” “Mt Sinai,” “Mt. Horeb,” and to be “as God.” Concerning “shemati” (I have heard), Gordon encourages listeners to slow down like Moses did upon seeing the bush, and to bring all their stuff, big and little, to Yehovah, knowing that he hears our cries. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Why should we walk before Yehovah with wholehearted devotion? 1 Kings 8:23 Description: </video> <video> Prophet Pearls #13 – Shemot (Isaiah 27:6-28:13; 29:22-23) - NehemiasWall.com Description: In this episode of Prophet Pearls, Shemot (Isaiah 27:6-28:13; 29:22-23), Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson discuss the theme of exile and restoration as this Prophet’s portion corresponds to the turning point in the Egyptian exile when the midwives were told to commit murder, the Israelites were told to make bricks without straw, and Moses was told “Now you will see what I will do". The Portion begins with a translation quandary (“those that come” versus “days to come”) and Gordon relates how sages have interpreted this passage through the centuries. We learn the different purposes of the shofar in the Tanakh and Gordon explains how this portion’s simple instruction to “give rest to the weary” has morphed into more than 600 commandments. Regarding the “here a little, there a little” passage: Gordon and Johnson discuss whether this means we should piece together God’s word or understand it in context. Word studies include: “fruit/tenuvah,” “smite/lehakot” “atone/kaper,” “line/qav,” and “sanctify/qadesh.” In closing, we are challenged to learn that sanctifying God’s name is a call to action and comforted to learn that whatever an “east wind” may scatter, Yehovah will glean “one by one.” "And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria and those cast off in the land of Egypt" (Isaiah 27:13) 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> May we learn to be more like God.

Scopus for a chat with Dr. Uri Gabbay, a professor at The Hebrew University. Their dialog concerns the history, languages and cultures of ancient Mesopotamia and culminates in a newly discovered cuneiform tablet bearing the name of a Judean exile by the name of Yeshua. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/hebrew-voices-the-name-yeshua-in-ancient-babylon 📰 Join the Scholar Club: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/scholar-club ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/support 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Call to me and I will answer you says Yehovah.

Description: </video> <video> Torah Pearls #14 – Vaeira (Exodus 6:2-9:35) - NehemiasWall.com Description: This episode of The Original Torah Pearls is on the Torah portion of Vaeira (Exodus 6:2-9:35). At face value, the first sentence of Vaeira appears to contradict other Scripture but several common-sense explanations clear things up. We learn why Moses’ lineage was important—particularly to the original audience—and that his “why me?” attitude was a sign of greatness. Gordon reveals a key verse for understanding the month of Aviv and the significance of its place on the Hebrew calendar. He also reads a poetic passage from the Portion that contains God’s name and where the rhyme of the divine is evident. As the trio examines each plague, Gordon translates the three Hebrew words for what was done to Pharaoh’s heart. Johnson speculates if the livestock taken to a place of shelter—a “migdal-oz”—hints at the mixed multitude and wonders if any Egyptians took shelter in the wondrous redemption to be found in Goshen. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Hebrew Voices #208 - Trump in Prophecy - NehemiasWall.com Description: In this episode of Hebrew Voices #208: Trump in Prophecy, Nehemia speaks with Joe Dumond about how the end-times of Daniel 9 might play out in the coming years, an unexpected resurrection, and how the 10 gods of Egypt relate to the troubled era in which we live. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/trump-in-prophecy ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/support 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Prophet Pearls #12 – Vayechi (1 Kings 2:1-12) - NehemiasWall.com Description: In this episode of Prophet Pearls, Vayechi (1 Kings 2:1-12), King David nears death and gives final instructions to Solomon in this portion that parallels the blessings Jacob gave to his sons. David’s “command” to Solomon to “be a man” and to “keep” the “Torah” yields strand after strand of pearls as Nehemia Gordon teaches on these key words—their first usage, roots, forms, and the versatile ways in which they are used (and connected) throughout the Tanakh. Johnson explores the only verse in Scripture where “commandments,” “statutes,” “ordinances,” and “testimonies” occur together and intuits why David chose them. Gordon provides insight into rabbinical and Karaite views on the Torah of Moses, the oral Torah, and also the theory of the “Hexateuch”—a view that Joshua completed the Torah. Regarding David’s instructions for dealing with Joab, Shimei, and the sons Barzillai, we learn additional context for each story—and why David selected these friends and foes for special bequeathals. The last word of the Portion reveals that Solomon’s kingdom was established “firmly”—in Hebrew “meod” / mem-alef-dalet. Gordon closes with a prayer that the descendant of David will soon sit on the throne to keep and to teach the treasure of Yehovah, and that his kingdom will be established “meod.” "Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son" (1 Kings 2:1) 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Hebrew Voices #11 - Raëlian UFO Jews of Israel - NehemiasWall.com Description: 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/hebrew-voices-the-raelians-ufo-jews-of-israel ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://tinyurl.com/SupportMakor 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Hebrew Voices #12 – Nazarene Grape Pickers - NehemiasWall.com Description: In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Nazarene Grape Pickers, Nehemia Gordon drives to the “west bank” to learn why people from all over the world are going there to assist the Jewish farmers of Judea and Samaria. Settle down in the passenger seat and enjoy the ride, as Nehemia reflects on the significance of the roads into the area – out near Bethel, and alongside the olive groves of Shiloh where the Tabernacle once stood. You won’t get too comfy though because Nehemia also explains the close proximity of Jewish and Palestinian territories in the area and the risk of rocks and Molotov cocktails being thrown at cars passing through. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/hebrew-voices-nazarene-grape-pickers ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/support 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> Prophet Pearls #14 – Vaeira (Ezekiel 28:25-29:21) - NehemiasWall.com Description: This episode of Prophet Pearls, (Ezekiel 28:25-29:21), reveals Yehovah as maestro—orchestrating kings, nations and events to further the day when the house of Israel, and all mankind, will know who he is. Ezekiel’s prophecy that a revelation of God would result from the ingathering can be witnessed today. However, not all who see believe, and Nehemia Gordon draws an ominous parallel between Pharaoh claiming the Nile as his own and those who boast about modern-day Israel without giving credit to Yehovah. Despite the firmest handle on language, history and context, every phrase in the Tanakh cannot definitively be explained and we meet several examples in this portion. Gordon and Johnson offer educated guesses on when Egypt was desolate for 40 years and to what monster and to which years Ezekiel refers. Gordon examines Ezekiel’s prophecy of the horn that will “spring up” and looks at other verses in the Tanakh where “tsemach” is used. Gordon concludes that when Messiah “springs up,” all will know that Yehovah is the one who carries out judgments, who redeems, who is in control, and who is worthy of praise. "Thus says Lord Yehovah, 'Behold, I am against you Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great crocodile that lies in wait in the Nile'" (Ezekiel 29:3) 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video> <video> You can fool yourself, but you can’t fool God. Proverbs 16:2 #biblestudy #Yehovah #prayer #devotions Description: </video> <video> Torah Pearls #12 – Vayechi (Genesis 47:28-50:26) - NehemiasWall.com Description: In this episode of The Original Torah Pearls Vayechi (Genesis 47:28-50:26), the final Genesis portion, Nehemia Gordon provides the cultural and geographical significance of the blessings to the 12 tribes. We learn the special inheritance given to the Levites, why their descendants are still traceable, why Reuben’s portion went to Joseph’s sons, and the significance of the “right hand.” From Jacob’s insistence that Joseph “swear” to him, we learn that the patriarchs knew God’s name and how to use it. While Jacob’s artful use of the Hebrew poetic form is soul-stirringly beautiful in the original language, it leaves us with some guesswork in English. Gordon takes us on a literary tour of the quadruple alliterations, the sophisticated triple-plays on words, the dropped prepositions, and the use of rare words (or common words with rare connotations) that could be translated in wildly different ways. Other word studies include: “blessing,” “Shechem,” “Shiloh,” “gathered to his people,” the rare context of “angel,” and the unique structure of the name “Issachar.” In closing, Gordon pronounces the traditional Sabbath blessing—“May you be like Ephraim and Manasseh”—and encourages listeners to receive from Yehovah—as a child at his knee with his hand on our head. 👉 Related Links and Further Study: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/torah-pearls-prophet-pearls ❤️ Support Nehemia Gordon’s Research and Teachings: https://www.tinyurl.com/SupportMHFyt 💬 Follow Nehemia Gordon on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/nehemiagordon 📰 Subscribe to Nehemia Gordon’s Newsletter: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nehemias-newsletter 📚 Check out Nehemia Gordon's Books and DVDs: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/store 🎧 Subscribe to “Nehemia Gordon” on your favorite podcast app! </video>
