Om podden
A Podcast of Biblical Proportions dives into ancient Hebrew history. Our time machine is the countless texts the ancient Hebrews 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 his 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, the ended up laying the groundwork for so much of human culture.
The podcast A Podcast of Biblical Proportions is created by Gil Kidron. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).

Researching Zoroastrian Influences on the Hebrews (w/ Dr. Gad Barnea)
19 januari 2025 |
77 min
For decades, scholars believed that ancient Hebrew letters from 419 BCE proved the continuity of Passover, but a new study shows that, if anything, Passover has Persian Zoroastrian origins. Dr. Gad Barnea from the University of Haifa joins Gil and Garry Stevens from the History in the Bible podcast to discuss his research into the so called Passover Lettersso-called.

72 - The Manna Scroll
8 september 2024 |
64 min
The Manna from Heaven story is not an account of the Hebrews eating magical bread in the desert, but a story about the destruction of Jerusalem (587 BCE) and the subsequent exile to Babylonia.
Manna from Heaven, Exodus 16:
2 The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the Wilderness.
3 The Israelites said to them, "If only we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt when we sat by the pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, "In the evening, you shall know that it was Yahweh who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of Yahweh, because he has heard your complaining against Him. For what are we? Your complaining is not against us but against Yahweh."
10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the Wilderness, and the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses,
12 "I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"
13 In the evening, quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning, there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the desert was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?"
16 This is what Yahweh has commanded: Gather as much of it as each of you needs, an omer per person according to the number of persons, all providing for those in their own tents."
17 The Israelites did so.
19 And Moses said to them, "Let no one leave any of it over until morning."
20 But they did not listen to Moses; some left part of it until morning, and it became wormy and rotten. And Moses was angry with them.
21 Morning by morning they gathered it, as much as each needed, but when the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food, two omers apiece. When all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
23 he said to them, "This is what Yahweh has commanded: Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest a holy Sabbath to Yahweh; bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil, and all that is left over put aside to be kept until morning."
24 So they put it aside until morning, just as Moses commanded them, and it did not rot, and there were no maggots in it.
25 Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh; today you will not find it in the field.
27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and instructions?
29 See! Yahweh has given you ... on the sixth day... food for two days; each of you stay where you are; do not leave your place on the seventh day."
31 The Israelites called it Manna; it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers with honey.
32 Moses said, "This is what Yahweh has commanded: Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations in order that they may see the food with which I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt."
33 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a container (צנצנת), and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."
34 Just as Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the covenant, for safekeeping.
35 An omer is a tenth of an ephah.

69 - Let The Complaining Begin
9 juni 2024 |
68 min
After centuries of oppression, Yahweh takes the Hebrews out of Egypt. And the first thing they do is complain about being taken out of Egypt. Why?
Desert Battle Story / Ezekiel (Exodus 14, verses:)
4 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their labor!"
5 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him.
10 As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked back, and there were the Egyptians advancing on them. In great fear the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, bringing us out of Egypt?
12 Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, ‘Let us alone so that we can serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that Yahweh will accomplish for you today, for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again.
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.”
23 During the last watch of the night Yahweh overlooked the Egyptian armies in the form of a pillar of fire and smoke and he threw their armies into confusion.
24 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, "Let's get away from the Israelites! Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt."
29 That day Yahweh saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
30 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of Yahweh displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared Yahweh and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.
Staff on the Stone Story / Ezekiel (Exodus 15 and then 17, verses:)
22 So Moses led Israel into the wilderness, and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter. That is why it was called Marah.
24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
*
2 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?”
4 So Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What shall I do for this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff and go.
6 I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 He called the place Massah and Meribah,because the Israelites quarreled and tested Yahweh, saying, “was Yahweh among us or not?”

The text for episode 44:
These are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
And all the people that came out of the loins of Jacob numbered in seventy, and Joseph was in Egypt.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased and multiplied, grew stronger, and the land was filled with them.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor:
And they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in morter, and in brick, and in the field: all their work was hard labor.
And the children of Israel sighed because of their labor, and cried out, and their cry reached God.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God knew.

Special: Samson is A SATIRE IN THE BIBLE!
10 december 2021 |
70 min
It turns out that if you read the Samson story (Judges 13-16) in Hebrew with comedic glasses - you realize it is an outrageously funny Greek satire that parodies biblical heroes and tropes, most likely written by Alexandrian Hellenistic Hebrews around the 200s BCE as a Hebrew version of Greek satire.
