As a person who just graduated with a degree in biblical studies. This video is very well done and put together! I like how you touched on multiple hypotheses and not just one. Great Job Jake!

My dad is an ex Army chaplain and now a pastor so this is the stuff I always heard him and his various sect friends debate. This was a nice reminder of those times. Thank you and God bless.

I always thought of the bible as just a book of rules, but now I see that it is much more a collection of understanding a culture.

I read the entirety of the Pentateuch recently out of academic curiosity and more than once found myself thinking, "Wait, what? You just told me that / you repeated that three times now / that directly contradicts last chapter."

If it were written by a single author, they were clearly in the late stages of severe cognitive decline.

jake you're so powerful, you make somewhat-controversial videos and get no backlash, you have so much power

edit: please stop replying to this comment, i dont think much of you (who are replying) arent much older than 15 and you obviously need to understand what roles religion and tradition plays in world politics

I'm an aethiest but was always intrigued with the history of religious text writing. This was a really interesting video

I've always believed a scholarly and academic approach to the bible, even as a believer. For those disrupted by these claims, these claims don't ruin or make the faith unviable. The perfect truth is there written by the imperfect man.

the humility displayed by this dude is insane. Mad props for making good videos while also helping us learn stuff while directing us to more things that can help us learn more stuff.

One contradiction that always jumped out at me even as a kid was that Cain was worried that he'd run into people that would mistreat him and that he was able to find a wife. They were like the 3rd and 4th people on earth

I can’t described how much I appreciate and love this source analysis, it is extremely helpful

As a Roman Catholic, I really enjoyed learning about this video and appreciate how respectful and informative it was. Keep up the good work man and I’d like to see more videos of this type if you can.

This is probably my favorite video of yours so far! It's really interesting looking at contradictions and hearing about theories as to why they exist!

[Strudel]

Well done! I took two courses on this very subject back in the dark ages when I was in college. You basically covered the entire first semester's worth of material in under 20 minutes and it was completely clear.

If anyone is interested in how the Bible was written I recommend a video about all the changes in the bible by Trey the Explainer. He also made many videos regarding some aspects in the bible. As a catholic I learned more from him and other people that are atheist than I ever did in church so I really recommend him.

I was so surprised you decided to tackle the more technical side of the Bible considering it can be quite a heavy and large topic. However you did a good job explaining this hypothesis that made easy to understand. Good job Jake! Can’t wait to see what else you do with this series

You say the goofy drawings comment sarcastically but it truly adds a ton of value. I care about inconsistencies in the Bible since it is my faith of choice but not enough to dedicate tens of hours looking into the subject and reading boring books and watching boring college classes. You're goofy drawings really do add a lot more value than you think allowing a kid to learn more about his faith in a timely and entertaining manor. Wish to make videos very similar to these in the near future. Keep up the great work.
