In the Mind of Yahweh — Mauro Biglino on Abraham and the Anunnaki Pantheon

Good morning. When I made the last video entitled "Abraham's camels" I had many positive reactions, tens of thousands of people saw it, but it also aroused some perplexity. And what is it that has aroused some perplexity that we are now going to resolve immediately? When I spoke of the oath and for those who haven't seen it, I'll repeat it very, very briefly. When Abraham sends his most trusted servant the Damascene, i.e. a native of Damascus, Eliezer to the land of his family to find a wife for his son Isaac In essence he said to the servant precisely making him take an oath - we are in Genesis chapter 24 "Please ask hand under my thigh, I will make you swear by" here it says "HaSchem" is the Hebrew translation, "HaShem" I repeat it for those who don't know yet, "HaShem" means "The-Name" because the Jews do not they could pronounce the name Yahweh and therefore replaced it with "Hashem" that is Il-Name. However, in essence it says "Place your hand under my thigh" and I actually said that in reality it was, and it is, a euphemism because putting your hand under your thigh to take an oath in reality, we were talking about an oath obviously between males, in reality it was a question of touching the genitals and this obviously aroused some perplexity, I repeat, because they told me: it is one thing to put your hand under the thigh and obviously another thing is to touch the genitals. And so let's say this: that the whole complex of the oath system was a very articulated system, very articulated and it also developed over time because one swore by the life of a person, one swore by Yahweh, one swore for example by the Temple and again at the time of Jesus I tell you - Jesus also entered into conflict with his fellow Rabbis, that is, master Pharisees, because once again in these discussions, which were absolutely necessary dialogues in the Jewish world, they discussed the modalities... For example Jesus in Matthew says "You shall not swear falsely" and this is also taken from the Old Testament "but you shall fulfill your oaths to the Lord. But I tell you: do not swear at all either by heaven for it is the throne of God or by earth because it is his footstool nor for Jerusalem because it is the city of the great King" and again, always in Matthew in chapter 23, it says "Woe to you" he addresses his fellow Pharisee teachers who thought differently from him which was absolutely normal, I have already said it other times because the study was always done between different people, between different Masters who thus had the task, the obligation to interpret the law and therefore those who are presented to us as clashes were of very normal discussions and the Talmud is full of them, there are thousands of them, discussions between the various Masters who then in the end also tried to arrive, when possible, at a mediation on the interpretation of the passages of the law. In this specific case Jesus says "Woe to you blind guides who say: if one swears by the Temple it counts for nothing if instead one swears by the gold of the Temple he remains obliged. But what is greater: the gold or the Temple that makes gold sacred?" and so on, he says "If one swears by the altar it counts for nothing if instead one swears by the offering that is above it remains obliged" and so on. This practice of swearing is actually a practice that was also very controversial, much discussed but practiced constantly over the centuries. But let's go back now to the perplexity that was expressed to me, the one relating to the thigh-genital relationship because I was told precisely: it is one thing to put your hand under your thigh, obviously another thing is to touch your genitals. So this is not my interpretation, let's go read it directly from what the Jewish exegetes say in their publications. You have already mentioned several times I have used this edition of the Bible from the Jewish publishing house Mamash and precisely because it is truly rich in information on Jewish thought. Let's go right to the commentary on that verse from Genesis that I read to you a moment ago and here they say "Under my thigh. The term thigh is a euphemism to indicate the male reproductive organ. Even the descendants are defined as those who come out of the father's thigh" and here he refers to the book of Exodus and in fact we are going to read in Exodus 1:5 where it is said precisely that "All the people who sprang from the loins - that is from the thigh - of Jacob were 70 people" and here he is making the list, In short, he is starting the list of descendants. Here, the word thigh in Hebrew used in the book of Exodus is exactly the same that is used here by Abraham when he says to his servant Eliezer "Put your hand under my thigh". Now it clearly says there that those descendants sprang from Jacob's thigh: it is clear that the thigh means the male genital organ so much so that, this note continues, it says " Ibn Ezra explains that this was the custom at the time. Before dying , Jacob also asked his son Joseph to put his hand under his thigh before swearing that he would have buried him in the land of Israel" in short, this is so that the Pharaoh in the future could not say certain things but this is not the issue that concerns us Rashi explains - Rashi, I remember he is one of the most important Jewish exegetes of all time - that "Abraham chose the thigh as confirmation of the oath. In fact, when an oath is taken, one must place one's hand on a sacred object" - sacred, we have already said it but I repeat it because certain concepts must be very clear, it meant any element that was separated from normality and was dedicated in a specific way to Yahveh - therefore says "one must place the hand on a sacred object such as for example the Torah scroll or the tefillim and since circumcision was the first precept given to Abraham and since he performed it with so much pain, it was particularly precious, for this reason Abraham asked Eliezer to swear by it" that is, to swear by circumcision, so much so that in other types of comments I have even read that it was not just a question of touching the genitals but actually taking hold of the male genital organ, therefore this just to take in hand, if we stay with Rashi's explanation, the organ that had been subjected to circumcision.So as you can see, we solved this perplexing question ty which in fact was not my interpretation but was exactly the Jewish tradition which also has a series of explanations. Obviously this is an oath practiced among males for obvious reasons then, as we have seen before, the Rabbis as always sought various interpretations which in some cases represented real tricks as we have read: swearing by the Temple rather than not swearing by the gold of the Temple. But this thing has evolved over time. In fact, let us bear in mind that Abraham in fact was not subject to what we know as the Ten Commandments, that is, he was not subject to the Mosaic law, for obvious reasons: Abraham comes several centuries before Moses and probably some of you will remember that I have already read the passage in which Moses in the desert speaking to the Israelites says: Yahveh did not make this covenant with our fathers but he made it with us who are all alive here. Indeed let's go and read this passage directly from the Bible which is found in Deuteronomy chapter 5 "Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: listen Israel, the laws and norms that today I proclaim in your ears learn them and keep them to put them into practice. Yahveh our elohim - obviously the Lord our God is written here but they are the words that I said in the videos it is better not to replace them in order to avoid discussions therefore we do not replace them with translations but we leave what the ancient authors wrote therefore - Yahvè our elohim established a covenant with us on Horeb - another name for Sinai - Yahveh did not establish this covenant with our fathers but with us who are all alive here today". So there is a clear distinction as I mentioned because Yahweh here makes a specific pact with the people of Israel, i.e. exclusively with the descendants of Jacob and among other things I also take this opportunity to give you an idea of ​​the concreteness of what was happening in that moment. - "Yahweh on the mountain spoke to you from the fire face to face." As they also say in the Biblical Torah lectures of the University of Jerusalem: it is not a question of a voice that comes from within, a voice that comes from above or something that is inspired in some way, something that comes warned or felt in some particular way through who knows what mediumistic activity, no! Yahweh spoke "face to face" and spoke from the fire, that is, he spoke standing on his system of which we have spoken many times and which produced energy with a whole series of effects including, last but not least, even deadly effects, so much so that he says that " spoke face to face while I stood between Yahweh and you to tell you the word of Yahveh because you were afraid of that fire and had not gone up the mountain". So in reality here too we reiterate the concept that that people - who were the chosen people, the chosen people, the people loved by Yahveh - were afraid of Yahveh's manifestations and I would rightly say they were afraid of Yahveh's manifestations and also because - now then we shall see in short - his psychology was a psychology which certainly did not convey security, serenity, peace and tranquillity. In fact those, let's say so, before Moses, i.e. the so-called patriarchs, therefore starting from Noah, then Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who are part of concrete biblical history, were subject exclusively to the so-called Noahide or Noahide laws to which I have dedicated a video also because I remember that, as written in Jewish exegesis, Noah was not a Jew and therefore, before these Mosaic laws reserved for the Israelites, there were 7 laws which instead were so to speak directed to all humanity. So there has been a whole evolution, so to speak, of the thought of God, of the so-called God, in relation to men, an evolution that has led to, so to speak, also to have different attitudes, which has led to the need to conduct all a series of studies and interpretations, clarifications, introduction of interpretations precisely to try to understand what Yahweh really meant when he spoke of certain things. Actually even Moses in one of the Midrash is said to have asked Yahweh: but when your orders are not clear what should we do? And Yahweh says to him: you follow the majority, that is, let the majority decide what is the meaning of my order. So since we know that majorities change, the meanings of God's orders could theoretically also change over time. And in this regard, again in that video "Abraham's camels", there were those who asked me, if possible, to do an analysis of Yahweh's psyche, that is, a real psychological analysis of this individual who demonstrated so multiform, so variable over time: which in itself would also be normal if it were not for God because either God provides humanity with values ​​that are absolute or we are dealing with a God who adapts to various circumstances, when in reality common sense would have it that men should adapt to God's laws which are, should be, the only just and non- questionable ones. Instead, the opposite actually happened. The opposite happened why? First, because we know he was not God and because Yahweh had a very complex mentality. I don't envy Moses who had to deal with him: it must have been a very difficult relationship as well as very risky because we know that Yahweh, in short, was not very tender towards those who either did not understand or even only badly followed his orders even if then, as always, the law was not the same for everyone because he forgave some of the things he would never have forgiven others . For example, I mean it is said - religious tradition still reminds us - man and woman will be one flesh and let us think of the hundreds of wives of Solomon and the hundreds of concubines, let us think of David, let us also think of the concubines of Abraham, etc. . But all this was allowed when instead maybe a poor man, as clearly told in the Bible, who is caught in the act of collecting wood on the Sabbath day by order of Yahweh is killed because he violated the order not to work on the Sabbath. Here too, on work - we have already spoken about it - centuries of discussion: what did Yahweh really mean when he said that on Saturday one had to abstain from all activity? So from this up to the oath that we talked about at the beginning, Yahweh had a very complex mentality, very complex. So, having resolved the question of the oath and the genitals, I try to give an answer to whoever asked me this question about Yahweh's psyche but I prefer to have this answer given by a Jewish scholar, Lia Bat Adam: this is the book from which the I draw. Among other things, I also had the pleasure of meeting you and getting to know you personally and you in this book of yours, in which you deal with many very interesting topics starting from the story of the Exodus and has as its subtitle, among other things, a subtitle that gives idea once again of the concreteness of the biblical story "Exodus or smuggling of know-how from the Pyramids to Jerusalem" that is, in short, Moses would have stolen some technology that was present in Egypt. But let's get to psychology, she defines it exactly as "aggressive, austere, bilious, inhuman, exclusive demanding ferocious jealous unforgiving childish inflexible ill-tempered intolerant intractable irascible irascible touchy fussy predictable childish , punitive, repressive, harsh, even wise, ruthless, tyrannical, terrible, vindictive but there would be many others too". And the Jewish scholar then goes on to say "In general" she speaks of Yahweh s"always incapable as he was of producing anything positive except water, manna and quail, the precise activity of Yahweh consisted in the hasty execution of unappealable death sentences of his men for insubordination, while his undemonstrable participation in the victory" in cases in which the Israelites won against the enemies "was limited to destruction and horrendous, total exterminations. In some cases, such as the massacres of Sittim and Midian, it was real butchers as well as "I read verbatim" of authentic bastards. Then she says that therefore all the attempt to interpret Yahweh's thought made successively over the centuries says "So everything that has always tried to understand, foresee, interpret God's hidden designs in reality" she says "there is nothing to understand why there is no design nor any end" and in another passage he reinforces the dose by saying, but in fact it is what I have always thought as you well know , "Let's not get wrong ideas: there was no high spiritual goal to reach" . Here I am reading the Bible and with all the stories I have already told you about Yahweh's behavior, I must say that I can only essentially agree with what this Jewish scholar writes about the psychology of this individual with whom it was actually not easy to deal with, on the contrary it was very risky to have to do. So I would say to those who asked me to do this psychological analysis of Yahveh that I really have nothing beyond this to add. Here a whole series of elements, a whole series of characteristics, a whole series of attitudes have been examined and defined, in extreme synthesis, which are all concretely present in the Bible, so I say that I truly have nothing else to add. I would say: look, I swear I really have nothing else to add. But I'll also tell you something else: I swear to you without putting my hand under your thigh. HI. thanks and see you next time.
