This video is part of the Sefer Study series. This is an analysis of the Archaeology of the Sefer by Mr. Nachliel Selavan. Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach. Sefer Shemot takes place in Egypt during the New Kingdom (1539-1075), and there are two main opinions as to when the Exodus takes place. Nachliel will try to present both opinions, and to offer a glimpse into the rich topic of Ancient Egyptian history, along the way. The highlights for this episode include the Code of Law of Hamurabi, the Golden Calf, the construction and material of the Mishkan and King Tut’s treasures. -- Nachliel Selavan, MA, originally from Jerusalem’s Old City, is back in Israel after seven years of teaching full-time in the United States, developing his unique and engaging method of learning Torah through tour, travel and archaeology.

Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach. Sefer Shofetim deals with Iron Age I - the ~200 year transitional period between entering the Land (and the collapse of the Late Bronze Age) - and the first Kingdom in Israel. This episode features an overview of the Sefer, and highlights the Battle of Sisera and the important locations around it, as well as a relevant winery. It also covers Shimson (Samson) and the Philistines, and another relevant winery. The Philistines are an important topic, and Nachliel has been on some of the excavations to Biblical Gath (Tell es-Safi), where he participated for a few days in the dig, and also interviewed Prof. Aren Maeir of Bar Ilan University, Prof. Jill Katz of Stern College - Yeshiva University, and a few other archaeologists. He also transcribed those interviews and visited the Museum of Philistine Culture.

Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach. Sefer Shemuel II is about consolidating the rule of David haMelekh - the eponymous ruler of the Kingdom of Judah, hence “The House of David” in royal mentions by mesopotamian superpowers. Shemuel II covers the territorial expanse and military campaigns of King David, and his internal and foreign affairs. From an archaeological standpoint, while there is little physical proof of his kingdom per se, there is a lot of archaeology which contextualizes his environment, the kingdoms he deals with, the names of their kings, the languages they spoke and the gods they worshiped. There are fortified cities from his time, and there are constantly new discoveries shedding light on this very important period. This episode focuses on the period from when King David moved from Ziklag to Hebron to Jerusalem; The skirmish around the pool of Giv’on which almost led to civil war; capturing Jerusalem, and the building of the royal palace, and more.

Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach. Sefer Melachim I is about the transition of power from King David to his house, and the establishment of the Davidic dynasty and a unified monarchy. This unity did not last for long, the kingdom split into a northern kingdom of Israel, and a southern, smaller, kingdom of Judah. The notion Yehuda ve-Yisrael, until today, tells us that this fundamental issue hasn’t been resolved yet. The 12 Tribes have not all been reunited. This episode covers a few key discussions in archaeology: The Kingdom and Temple of Solomon - his international relationships, his usage of resources, and materials, in running the country and building the Temple. The split into two kingdoms, and some of the features of each kingdom. Shoshenq’s campaign, assuming it may be the Pharaoh Shishak, is a lynchpin in Archaeology. This campaign, which took place in year 5 of Rehobam, or roughly 925 BCE, helps in the discussion of the historic chronology of Tanach. Check out the relevant articles below. Finally, the dealings of Eliyahu haNavi with the Northern Kingdom of Israel, and its internationally involved king Ahab and his Pheonician wife, Izebel, and more transitions of power: Hazael will be king of Aram Damascus, Yehu will wipe out the House of Omri, and Elisha will replace Eliyahu.

Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach. Sefer Melachim II takes place in Iron Age II, a period of tremendous geopolitical upheaval and change in the region. It is an era called “the era of mass deportations” and one which can be termed “the Age of Empires”. The main shift is from regional kingdoms or city states, which are local, powerful players, to Empires, which are administrative innovations which enable a largest territorial dominion the world has ever seen. Beyond the power of Egypt, Assyria became the iron fist which terrorized and held together the Near East. Assyria was responsible for the mass-deportations which destroyed nations and ethnicities, deliberately mixing them up to prevent future rebellions. Check out TED Ed video for elaboration: The rise and fall of the Assyrian Empire https://youtu.be/7pa54hWROpQ. The wrath of Assyria has destroyed the 10 Tribes - the entire Kingdom of Israel - which is now gone. With the decline of Assyria who over-extended themselves, there is a power vacuum, in which King Yoshiyahu is able to gain some power, which he quickly loses when meddling with foreign affairs - attempting to block Pharaoh Necho II at Megiddo - on his way to the Battle of Carchemish (605 BCE). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carchemish Babylon wins this battle, and is now the new world power. Babylon eventually destroys the Kingdom of Yehuda and exiles them to Babylon, in two shifts, leaving Gedaliyahu ben Ahikam as governor - who is hastily killed. But there is a relatively happy ending to this Exile, as we prosper in Babylon, and eventually return to rebuild the Temple.

Please do! Thank you! Sefer Yehezkel begins in Babylon, in the 4th year after the exile of Yehoyachin (which took place in 597 BCE). He prophecies about the pending destruction by Babylon, addresses the newcomers to the Exile after the destruction, prophecies to other powerful nations and also envisions the future redemption - the Ge’ulah. In this episode I mentioned Shiloh Winery’s “Privilege” which quotes the prophecy in Yehezkel 36:8. https://www.shilohwinery.com/privilege If you would like to enjoy seeing the prophecy in more ways, check out the following link about Israeli innovation in agriculture and ecology: https://www.israel21c.org/topic/environment/ -- Nachliel Selavan, MA Ed., originally from Jerusalem’s Old City, is back in Israel after seven years of teaching full-time in the United States, developing his unique and engaging method of learning Torah through tour, travel and archaeology.

Hoshea begins the “twelve prophets” or תרי עשר, which span a period of over 300 years. Amos is actually the first prophet, but Hoshea is chosen to open the series for thematic and poetic reasons. Hoshea is probably from the tribe of Reuven, and he operated in the Kingdom of Israel, during the lifetime of the prophets Amos, Yeshayahu and Micha; his prophecy dealt with the moral decay in the kingdom of Yisrael, mostly, and he rebuked the over-reliance on Assyria, the rising world superpower.
