Excellent content 👍, I have preferred the Septuagint over the MT since the MT was tweaked by the Pharisees who denied Jesus’ divinity in the second century despite Second Temple belief in the two Yahweh’s. The discovery of the Isaiah scroll in the Dead Sea scrolls has shown us that the MT was altered to conceal Jesus’ divinity.
I don't believe the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is evidence for that specific conclusion. It does seem that the MT was tweaked at some point, but it's not entirely clear when, by whom or why in each instance.
Unfortunately, that’s not currently in the scope of this phase development. We hope to be able to license a number of Bibles and scholarly resources that may allow us to provide information on textual variants from the Dead Sea Scrolls. “The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible” is a great print resource, which would be very useful in a digital format. But we’re starting off the project with more standard resources that are easily accessible.
The begetting ages: {Genesis 11:11-26} Shem: MT (*100 years), LXX (100 years), SP (100 years)na Arphaxad: MT (35 years), LXX (**135 years), SP (135 years) Kainan: LXX (°130 years)? Shelah: MT (30 years), LXX (**130 years), SP (130 years) Eber: MT (34 years), LXX (**134 years), SP (134 years) Peleg: MT (30 years), LXX (**130 years), SP (130 years) Reu: MT (32 years), LXX (**132 years), SP (132 years) Serug: MT (30 years), LXX (**130 years), SP (130 years) Nahor: MT (29 years), LXX (**79 years), SP (79 years) Terah: MT (*70 years), LXX (**70 years), SP (70 years) Rule: (MT) = Masoretic Text (☆minus 650 yrs and 130 yrs - Kainan/m) (LXX) = Greek Septuagint (SP) = Samaritan Penteteuch (°) = Luke 3:36 second witness (*) = The MT, the LXX, and the SP are in agreement. (**) = Josephus is in agreement with the LXX and SP. (na) = Josephus does not give a witness. ^ Flavius Josephus was a first century historian. 'Antiquities of the Jews' "The things narrated in the sacred Scriptures, are, however, innumerable, seeing that they embrace the history of *5,000* years..." (Ant. 1:13) Josephus claimed to use *Hebrew* text in his recitation of Genesis and other OT books. (Against Apion, 1:1, 54; Ant. 1:5, 9:208, 10:218) Rabbinic deflation theory (after 70 A.D.): a), Motive....Chrono-Messianism b), Means and Athority....Rabbi Akiba 40-137 A.D. c), Opperatunity....Judaism had been reduced to one Pharisaic sect after 70 A.D. -->There is no unbiased reliable second witness to the complete time-line of the MT before Eusebius in the 4th century A.D. Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in *a good old age* an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. (175 years) {Genesis 25:8} ^ By MT Chronology this statement would be untrue. According to the MT, Eber was still alive and lived to be a good old age of 464 years, more than twice the age of Abraham. Shem lived to be 600 years old, yet according to the MT he only dies 25 years before Abraham death. (The Jews also falsely claim that he is the high priest of Salem, Melchizedek in a vain attempt to discredit Christ claim of being a priest in the order of Melchizedek.)
I'am just finding out the same, the most frustrating is, even the most called trustworty Dutch Bible "the SV" is missing Cainan and calculate 5 yrs less than other Bibles on Gen 11. I'am still searching for the timeline from Abram to Moses in the different Bible.
@@wannabe_scholar82 first or earliest. I'm learning Ancient Greek this way: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2vwb1wVzPec.htmlsi=DBDFSfOQIkRIYZ1j
@wannabe_scholar82 πρῶτος is an adjective meaning "first" (the 1st ordinal number). Or, as @daviydviljoen9318 pointed out, it can be used with other meanings, like "earliest". It's the same word in Modern Greek, so it's not an exclusively Ancient Greek term. FYI, the -ος ending is masculine, because 'he' is first. The feminine ending would be -η, which would yield πρώτη if 'she' were first. Or it could be πρῶτον for neuter. Other endings would be used for the plural, or to other parts of speech, like direct objects. The ῶ in πρῶτος is marked with a circumflex accent in the masculine because omega is a long vowel, followed by a syllable with a short vowel: omicron (-ος). But the same ώ in πρώτη is marked with an acute accent in the feminine because the long omega is followed by a syllable with a long vowel: eta (-η).

@@CrossBibleOfficial I just looked it up in the dictionary, and didn't give much thought to conjunctions... Thanks for the grammatical information, it's useful. It's a really difficult language, that makes German look easy.
@@CrossBibleOfficial Thanks for this! Just one question though, 1). Is the word πρώτος plural here? If so why is the feminine ending seemingly singular and not also plural or ending with a sigma (πρώτης). The class sound like it would be nice since I only have a very basic understanding of Greek, I’ll look into it!
Great job, but I think that there is a mistake on this graph. The Aquila, Theodotion and Symmachus position on the graph is wrong. Exemple: Aquila translation is from second century CE and not from first century BCE. Please, fix it to improve your beautiful graph.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I've finally attracted a viewer with such a good eye. I've added the following correction: Since our Timeline of the Bible feature is a work in progress, some corrections were made to it after this video was recorded: The Greek recension of Aquila, Theodotion and Symmachus are in the 2nd century AD, and the Lucianic recension was likely in the late 3rd or early 4th century. The timeline is corrected now. Since this video hasn't gotten much traction yet, I may re-record those sections and re-release this video with the corrected timeline, since that was a pretty glaring mistake. But the Timeline of the Bible on the website is fixed. Please do let me know if you spot any other errors on the timeline. You can email feedback to feedback@crossbible.com. Thanks again for the correction.
You can’t align the Enochian calendar, jubilees, and the four ages with the modern Gregorian (or even Masoretic) calendar; they don’t have the same basis. The latter two are pagan… even a Biblical yom isn’t equivalent to a modern SI day. The first age is outlined in the Book of Jubilees spanning 50 jubilees or 2,450 years from the Creation Week to the Israelite crossing into the Promised Land. We are currently nearing the end of the second age: Daniel’s 70 “weeks (of years)” aka jubilees totaling 3,430 years and culminates with the 3-1/2 year Tribulation including Armageddon, Leviathan’s and Behemoth’s being cast into Gehenna, and Belial’s being bound underground. The third age lasts 1,000 years - Joshua the Anointed’s Millennial Reign on Earth - which commences with His Second Coming. He abdicates His Throne in Heaven as the Prince of Peace to become King of kings and Lord of lords on Earth (as well as the New Earth to come!). The fourth and final age - aka the “short time” - lasts 120 years commencing with Belial’s being released to deceive the world and culminating with the war of Gog and/of Magog, Judgment Day with Belial’s and the rest of the wicked being cast into Gehenna, the incineration of the defiled Heaven and Earth, the creation of New Heaven and New Earth, New Jerusalem’s (=the Bride and Heavenly Kingdom) descending from New Heaven to New Earth, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All four ages span 7,000 years (=2,450+3,430+1,000+120). #QuestionEverything
