What The DEAD SEA SCROLLS Tell Us About the HISTORY Of The Biblical Text

How did we go from bene Elohim (sons of God) to bene Yisrael (sons of Israel) in Deuteronomy 32:8? Somewhere, we don't know when, we don't know if it was in the intertestamental period, or whether it was at the period of text standardization in 100 AD, we don't know when this happened. But here's what a scribe did. Somebody changed the text to remove "sons of God" and insert "sons of Israel". We don't know when that happened, but we know that it did. We know that it did because this is what the Masoretic Text has and is different from what the Dead Sea Scrolls have. So if you're going with the text, that is the oldest text that we have of the Hebrew Bible, you should be reading sons of God in Deuteronomy 32:8. Check it out!

I came out of the halls of academe and want to say how rare it is for scholars like Dr. Heiser to share his learning with the populace rather than exercising exclusive possession of it. He is a God-given blessing to us.

Here in 2024. I hope to meet Dr. Heiser in the restored Kingdom one day to thank him for his inspired work. It's really helped me to make sense of so many "weird" things in the Bible. Like he always said, "If it's weird, it's probably important." I Miss this man!

I always thank my Lord for giving me such a chance, an eye opening clues from every direction. I am Ethiopian and I can read the oldest Ethiopian language, Geez.
Whenever I found such a mistranslation clues out there, especially on the OT scriptures, what I will always do is to go and check it on the Geez text.
Regarding this topic, you know what I found here? It says 'according to the Number of the Angeles of God'.
So, my friends this claim for the distortion of the authentic and righteous content of the text is strong.

It makes so much sense why the understanding of angels is so important and why it's so misconstrued now because it's such a huge part of being deceived not just about today but about why things occurred the way they did throughout the Bible

This is what I was most curious about regarding the discovery of the Dead Scrolls.. Thank you so much for the comparisons.

[theburlyburrito]

I love the way the NET puts the passage. It even says in the foot notes to look at Dr. Heiser‘s teaching on this!

[flamingswordapologetics]

Interesting, I know of a group of people who have tried using this text to say the bible was for Israel only, so just think how one change can make a big difference.

[rbergs]

Thank you Dr. Heiser. I'm convinced you are a blessed, chosen, and holy man. So much respect for you, I love what you do for us!

[John-...]

I would love to see a whole video on the dead sea scrolls because there's so much on youtube that say opposite things and you don't know which interpretations to trust even from so called scholars because of their own biases

True understanding goes beyond the boundaries of tradition. Christ himself put the scripture in perspective when he said " you search the scripture and in them you think you have eternal life, they are them which testify of Me.But you are not willing to come unto Me that you may have life."

Wow! Reading the comments below, I can see from the scriptures, about our time, that many have taken the plain Gospel and wondered down strange roads.

I bless God for your Dr . Heiser you taught me about God's council and that was life changing. May Almighty God increase your wisdom as we grow in the love and knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Indeed, there is much information and much misinformation. I would not wish to be the one who deceives those who seek the truth.

Hello Dr.Mike. I did not know you had this channel and YT recommended this to me! I have been subscribed to your FringePop channel. This is very good info and can be easily missed by a casual reading of the Bible. Thank you.
