Q+A #17: What is a Shibboleth Test?

What is a Shibboleth test? And what is its origins? Find out about this interesting identity test which comes to us from the _Book of Judges._

At the request of some of my viewers, I have also set up a crypto currency wallet for Monero XMR, 46RXpVRn5QtK25gU1naVa72tWa1nGdfGwK8npLaAZKwKQp9i8qbe1CDS5cjVcNX4Ug47Uh5Q8kid3eDV5za9b4saQ5sEWf5

Very interesting! This reminds me of the Parsley massacre in my home country the Dominican Republic, where the asked people to pronounce the Spanish word for Parsley and if they couldn’t that meant they were Haitian and they were killed.

Are you planning to do a video at some stage on Solomon? I've seen some, such as Peter James, argue that the narrative is more consistent with a Bronze Age context than an Iron Age one. Alternatively, could you recommend any good articles that rebut this?

Great video, really interesting. I just got your book in the mail, can't wait to start it! Love from the Sentinel Apologetics discord

Dr. Falk, what are your thoughts on the Merneptah Stele? Have you or do you plan to do a video? Is it good evidence for Jacob/Israel as a historical person independent of the Bible? Thanks

It is pronounced 'SCHIJ-VÅ-LETH'

SHI/Σ/ⵉ/𐤄 (though it is used as a single "S" in modern times, probably why the modern translations added the 'X/chi', just like we added 'Ita' and 'Omeikrånn' to THE HOLY NAME OF THE GOD 'JSUS')

CHI/Χ

JIOTA/Ι/J/𐤉‎

VEITA/Β/𐤁‎
VEITA/Β/𐤁‎

ÅMEGA/Ω/ᛟ

LAMBA/Λ/7

EPSILÅNN/Ε/𐤇‎

THEITA/Θ/ⴲ

and so: 99% of the world pronounces this word wrong and fails the friend-test.

How fascinating is that?

No I believe you may be mistaken. There is a much much earlier use of a shibboleth. You may recognize this from your childhood. It goes like this you put both hand out in front of you .fingers up and palms out like your telling someone to stop . Now hold them like this to the side of your head with your thumbs in your ears and then flap them back and forth like flippers and say.

Dack dacka ack.
It is the shibboleth/call sign of the bedrock water buffalos . You know Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble from the cartoon the Flintstones. You know yabba dabba do! Wilma I'm home whats for dinner. A test like a secret pass word used to get into a secret club or fraternity.
