1 - Methodological Framework

I would like to now elusidate our proposed methodological framework to biblical exegesis

Our first goal is to minimize interpretative bias by adhering closely to the morphosyntactic and lexical features of the source texts, taking also into consideration period cultural dynamics, thereby producing a sequence of events that aspires to maximal fidelity.

Following the same patterns as all other episodes of this series, we will be emphasizing rigorous philological and hermeneutical dimensions, comprehensive linguistic analysis and exegetical examination of biblical pericopes, focusing on interlinear renditions of the source texts in their original languages.

This methodology aims to produce an unbiased and maximally literal translation through a meticulous process of comparative linguistics and textual criticism.

Textual criticism: Analyzing various manuscript traditions to establish the most reliable base text.
Morphological analysis:
Lexicographical research: Investigating the semantic range and diachronic development of key terms.
Syntactical parsing:
Discourse analysis: Evaluating the broader linguistic context and rhetorical structures.
Comparative Semitics: Utilizing cognate languages to elucidate obscure or hapax legomena terms.
Diachronic linguistics: Considering the historical development of the source language(s) to accurately reflect temporal linguistic variations.
applying the full scope of translation theory: on the basis of principles of formal equivalence to prioritize source-oriented renderings.

The event proper is found in Genesis 18 and 19.

However numerous references are made to Sodom in the following passages, both in the old testament.

Genesis 10:19; 13:10, 12, 13, and in G enesis 14, as well as twice in the Book of Deuteronomy (Dt 29:22; 32:32) and once in the Book of Lamentations (Lm 4:6). But the Sodom motif occurs most of all in the prophetic literature (Is 1:9, 10; 3:9; 13:19; Jr 23:14; 49:18; 50:40; Ezk 16:44-58; Hs 11:8; Am 4:11; Zph 2:9).

Likewise Sodom is also found in many other Jewish texts (the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus), as well as in early Christian writings like the New Testament and several Fathers.

It is evident that all biblical authors were familiar with the event and regarded it as significant.

That includes Jesus Himself bytheway as we will see in the latter part of this video, also because His words on this are actually very telling.

#sodom #gomorrah #bible

In general terms this is a story of civilization collapse presented as a specific sequence of events of catastrophic proportions. It is also not a story of 2 cities but of 5. And possibly more.

Normally when we think of this account we focus on the two most famous or should I say infamous cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, but let's widen our perspective for a moment.

The cities of the valley were five. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. However Zoar is often not included in the list, that is because Zoar was spared. Genesis 19:19-22, 25, 29 Lot, Abraham's nephew pleaded with the angels to not destroy the town, and the angels agreed.

Now let's begin utilizing source and redaction criticism to delineate potential textual strata.

Texts of Abrahamic religions, your oldest and most reliable source of heavy metal lyrics.

That moment when you hear that list of reasons, look around your country, and then start sweating.

[dranet]

I think we saw Sodom and Gomorrah at the Olympics this week.

[RavenOConnor]

As a non-denominational Christian, I always appreciate your research into Biblical topics. Great video, Metatron!

[TetsuShima]

Lot: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T LOOK AT THE CITY'S DESTRUCTION!!!"
Lot's wife: "So, anyway, I started looking..."

[lonelywoker]

Hospitality is a big thing in the Caucasus, in Georgia is a saying, that "Guest comes from God".

[Theotherlostprimarch]

It’s so awesome to have a content creator that doesn’t treat science and Christianity as incompatible.

[TinusTegenlicht]

Lot and his family were 'just', but afterwards they went astray, they were influenced by the city they lived in. You get corrupted by your surrounding, so the lesson is don't hangout with the wrong people, but surround yourself with good people.

[Kerats]

I always look forward to your discourse on subjects. I am half Sicilian half Egyptian and my mother and I adore your content

[jle]

I got my Bachelor's Degree is Biblical History. 17:17 so far Metatron is doing right. I've seen all of this before (not for this text specifically) using other cultures to verify the Biblical accounts. The biggest difference is I'm far more entertained by this video than I was with my Hebrew Professor droning on.

[Hedgewisekat]

As a child of the Cold War era, while I'm not arguing for the radioactive skeletons I do recall what we used to call a neutron bomb... or a small nuke that gave off lots of radiation which was meant to kill people but leave buildings standing. It killed beyond the area where any effects of the explosion itself would be seen.

[Jcremo]

Gosh, this is fascinating. I’m so glad people like you exist and share their passions online.

[Ammo]

I'm 70 years old. Jjust in my lifetime I can think of several very destructive natural calamities, earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, killer lakes releasing deadly gasses, and some remarkable meteor events. When I was in school, catastrophic events were often downplayed as rare...I don't think they are that rare. And let's not forget a few man-made disasters like Bhopal, India and various dam failures.

[Skarlett.Rose.Ink.]

I'm only a few seconds in, but I am excited! This series is one of my favourites of yours. I am someone who struggles with my own faith, but who absolutely loves biblical history, and seeing how the narratives have been altered so much over the years from things as simple as a word or two being mistranslated, or things not being viewed through a lens contemporary to the writings. I'm sure this will be another great watch, and, as always, I'm excited to get into it!.

Around the 25 minute mark.. "I:36 to the 5th he spoke: "Blow like the wind and scrutinize the circumference of the world""

They knew the planet was round. :)

My girlfriend has an old scholarly book, wish I could remember the name, that discussed the Dead Sea as the likely location. It referenced old historical mentions of the sea that indicated it was much more noxious and dangerous thousands of years ago than it is today. One mention I remember was from a Greek who recounted seeing a bird fly over and fall dead halfway due to the fumes. The Dead Sea also has "salt" pillars on its shores.

[TetsuShima]

I love the way Sodom and Gomorra was portrayed in the 1966 epic "The Bible". Despite the lack of explicit content due to pc of the time, you can tell it's is a place full of completely messed up people

[IcePhysicsGaming]

I never heard the interpretation that lot was "okay" with doing it with his daughters. I always heard he was essentially too drunk to be able to resist.

[canthomaru]

There were two videos from Expedition Bible where the host, Joel, investigates the area around the Dead Sea for any remains of those cities. One video shows the finding of sulfur deposits which weren't found on the surface ground, rather, in the water. He even uses a lighter to see if they ignite in a way that sulfur would. In the other video, Joel examines sites which show a layer of ash among former cities, but no signs of rebuilding. This was found at four sites, with one that did not show any ash.

He also discusses how one site, Hammam (if spelled correctly), to the north of the Dead Sea was suspected, but it shows that there has been numerous rebuilding, whereas Sodom & the others, apart from where Lot fled, were not rebuilt nor lived on.

[readtruth]

Love you brother. You dig for truth AND speak it, and that is a VERY rare combination.
