Yankee Whiskey = you're welcome, in radio lingo.
There is a lot of valuable information for the Ancient Religious History buff, Peewee.
I was forced to interrupt it past the three quarters mark..., but will attempt to go back.
The assertion that the Septuagint's dates were known to always be off, while in the Hebrew Masoretic text, dates were reliably perfect, is erroneous, IMHO.
I believe the opposite is true.
According to the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls Bible's accompanying commentary, it, the Septuagint, and the Samaritan text all dovetail repeatedly, while it is the Masoretic text that is the odd man out, once again leading one to believe there was a no longer extant, underlying Hebrew Text from which the Greek Septuagint was translated in 300 B.C.
Thanks for posting this.

Glad you got something out of it. I'm sure you're more of a scholar than I will ever hope to be. That's why I posted it. So maybe someone smarter than me could point out any errors that I would never catch. I've read two of his books and they're pretty short but full of stuff I've never heard but really want to believe. It does sort of explain why it took about forty years for this stuff to start to hit the mainstream, so I knew it must have some explosive stuff in it. I will watch it again because I want to make some notes. I did get a kick out of his listing the dates and births of the patriarchs because I did the same thing about ten years ago.
Learned a new word, had to look up 'extant' to see what it means. Still existing, not lost. Your friendship is making me smarter.
Happy Mother's Day! Talked to my mom earlier this afternoon and she was lucid, knew who I was and everything. That was a big blessing. She is the sweetest woman I have ever known, and not just because she is my mom. No telling how many prayers she has prayed on my behalf.
You are most kind, Peewee,
I'm sure that was instilled in you at an early age by your mother.
I'm glad you were able to talk to her.
My mother too, while here on earth, spent an untold number of hours praying for her family. I've long believed we're all still alive because God honored her prayers.
It is obvious you kissed the blarney stone when you verbally downgrade your own knowledge as less than mine.
I hadn't given Mother's Day a thought, Peewee, but thanks.
