What does the original Hebrew text reveal about Genesis 1-11? - Dr. Steve Boyd

Hebraist Steve Boyd takes us through the key events and timeline represented in the first eleven chapters of Genesis. He also explains the content of these passages in light of the original Hebrew text.

𝘐𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺? is a documentary that features over a dozen scientists and scholars explaining how the world intersects with the history recorded in Genesis. From rock layers to fossils, from lions to stars, from the Bible to artifacts, this fascinating film will change the way you see the world. The film’s goal is to provide a reasonable case for Creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, an actual fall, a global flood, and a tower of Babel. Dr. Del Tackett, creator of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, serves as your guide—hiking through canyons, climbing up mountains, and diving below the sea—in an exploration of two competing views…one compelling truth.

This segment is taken from 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘐𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺?, which explores rocks and fossils, intelligent design, astronomy, and so much more!

As I've been reading through these comments, I have found about 4 categories of comments: 1) those who believe scripture, 2) those who are not sure and are seeking, 3) those who do not believe and are downright angry at those who do believe, 4) those who do not believe and mock those who do believe. So, what I don't understand is the people who fall in categories 3 & 4...why the anger? why the mocking? If this is all just a fairy tale, why the negative emotional investment?

"Our savior is also our creator." No randomness from Genesis to Revelation. Beautiful!

First recorded words of Jesus in the Bible was "I am about my Fathers buisness" His last words were "It is finished".

[aaronpetersen]

I think it’s so interesting that he mentioned “the descent of man” because I’ve been thinking this for a while, that man actually DESCENDED and we haven’t gotten smarter.

I used to believe what the science had to say until I started genuinely seeking answers and asking questions on my own. What I found is that there are many inconsistencies with the scientist and they have to break scientific rules to make it make any kind of sense whatsoever. I no longer look to man for the answers. Man wasnt there in the beginning and non of the supposed scholars have the answer and never will. God did it. I am ok with that.

I met Dr. Boyd one day in his office at Multnomah. His office was full of books, like any good scholar I suppose. At the time I was either in Hebrew and/or Greek class and I was talking to him about languages. At some point he said, Do you want to learn Akkadian or other Semitic language? And I was thinking about this, like WOW that would be great, but I'm here trying to get Hebrew and Greek under my belt. Never took him up on the offer, but that in a way encouraged me in my studies.

Anyways, I'm so glad to see that he has correct doctrine. There are many "scholars" who have liberal ideas. But now he has a platform to glorify God.

I'm delighted that the experts in this channel's vids are not interrupted. such a joy to watch. ty for bringing these subjects to us.

[ninabooker]

Dr Boyd’s interpretations are beautiful and rich. Scripture is profound and fulfilling to the soul as food is to the body. Thank you. God bless you.

Wish I knew that old Hebrew language and writing. Couldn't imagine the amount of extra gems and deeper revelations that I miss by reading English translations.. But there still are an insane amount in English as well. More than I could discover in a lifetime.

[Jairam]

I would love to listen to this man speak on the entirety of the Bible.

[JK-temm]

He explained ALL that from memory. The summary is well spoken and flows well in theme - excellent outline and good attention to details. Thank you.

[willholder]

I have just been reading Genesis in the last few day, so now have a better understanding. Love, peace and grace to all. Amen

[AZdroptop]

You can tell an excellent interviewer when they ask a question and let the expert speak. Thank you.

[joeldemings]

I’ve listened to this four times now and my heart is always thrilled when he explains how the image of God is in the verbs. This has helped me so much to understand what my role is here on earth. Thank you for dedicating your life to the study of the Word of God and being such a huge blessing!

Been addicted to "Is Genesis History?" for over 3 years now. Thanks for making these docs!!!!

[silviomp]

Hallelujah! Better later than never. Happy to find this channel. Praised be the Lord!

[truthseeker]

YouTube led me to this video 3 years after it posted, so I'm late to the party. But I happily liked and subscribed, and look forward to exploring more content from this channel. Thank you for providing this profound, yet accessible content!

After more than 40 years of personal study I'm not only convinced Genesis is history, but that the biblical account of history provides the only rational basis for a coherent, practical worldview. Every other religion, philosophy, or system of thought I've reviewed is ultimately irrational. As the writer of Ecclesiastes said, everything "under the sun" [all pursuits and so-called knowledge apart from God] is "futility and striving after wind [Heb. hevel - vapor or smoke]. As followers of Jesus we can have full assurance that our faith is not only reasonable, but that every alternative is foolish. Blessings to you as you journey on the way to faith becoming sight!

Moments into this, I grabbed my Bible to take notes. Very cool!!! My mind is blown. Literally a few hours ago, I had JUST been wondering about what is meant by the descriptions mentioning water in Genesis 1. Thank you for sharing!

[randym]

Why don't these things filter down to us in the pews? I just finished a study of Genesis through Bible Study Fellowship and we spent 8 months looking for something to encourage us. I don't want encouragement, I want understanding. Exactly what this video provides.

Jesus came to me during sleep paralysis with demons. I’ve been tormented countless times in my sleep. It started when I told Jesus I wanted a relationship with him & out of a same sex lifestyle. Let me tell you people….. the spiritual realm is REAL. I’ve come out of my body, stood at the end of my bed and watched myself sleep. I’ve seen so many demons you wouldn’t believe. I need to honestly post my testimony
