09:30 - 10:00 these uh we have uh we can use the you know our PDF file for personal uh purpose right so because of copyrights uh I don't want you guys to share and then just you know spread it out to this file out of the discourse okay so this is so important I want you guys to keep it up and then uh because the you guys you guys the third part uh third part of the world you know sometimes it is quite a bit hard to find out the you know the book because most likely uh Western uh
10:00 - 10:30 western or you resources that we can SC easily access to the people uh access to the you know these books but uh uh some of the you guys living in the mission field or uh some of the some of the you know world then you might not able to find out the easily uh to purchase the you know books you know or or we can have like a ebooks in a system on that but uh you don't have any of the devices might be hard to do so uh that's why uh
10:30 - 11:00 in uh inevitable way I I'm sharing the sharing the this PDF file with you guys but you know keep it up that this book uh only uh only for the use of the discourse not spread it out you know any other people okay you got that you understood right okay next one is a schedule that I just put it on this semester I I'm just giving you guys some of the breing time because I put on the you know reading break
11:00 - 11:30 okay so uh I gave you a bunch of the reading assignments okay but sometimes you you guys hardly uh getting up and catch up to you know your readings but you know your reading assignment is so important because most likely most of the you know your uh your knowledge and information you can you can get it from the you know just read okay I can give you the you know lecture ship and then give you the lecture but it takes about
11:30 - 12:00 you know one one or one and a half hours so I prly is giving you guys the grouping part of the lecture not the giving the all the detail stuff but uh your reading in the book uh a little bit different because uh they put on the you know all other information that you can search it and also get it from uh not from me but uh uh you can you can study further so that's why uh I want you guys
12:00 - 12:30 to stick with it you know the reading reading schedule and then uh sincerely and Faithfully just please just focus on the your reading also uh I want you guys to already put on the you know reading assignment you know textbook reading but that chapter might be the I just assigned the 40 pages the 60 Pages you know per week so uh I think you guys can catch it up you know uh this amount of the reading assignments so but sometimes you guys are busy and know I know that you guys have some of the project and
12:30 - 13:00 then other courses so you have to read other things you know that's why I I just want to break it down uh reading week you know just to utilize this wig for your reading at the same time I want you guys to prepare the your midterm exam okay so we won't have uh lecture but giving you guys a breing and then also giving you guys some of the reading week but to utilize
13:00 - 13:30 it wisely okay you're just doing nothing and then no reading just restful time okay that's your option but actually that week's purpose is for your reading and the preparation of the your exam okay so uh we are having the you know uh how many weeks we have a 60 weeks these are the reading wigs and then there is a Easter recess and then there is no uh uh no class by the way uh we have a final
13:30 - 14:00 weeks so three weeks off we have but the actually final weeks we have to do like a exam so uh it is not counting on it so uh there are the two different parts of the you know recess and then also no class week so that is the reading week and at Easter recess uh first of all you guys see that you know we're covering up the you know sums this part because the sum has a a big you know book so so uh it takes some time like you know one and
14:00 - 14:30 two and then I just divide it two ways and then uh there's some of the superscriptions like you know the title of the you know sums you know we are really interesting with that you know so I'm going to give you guys this this lecture and the messic SS interpretation I think you know because I I'm a pre uh my one of the part of the my dissertation is the PSAL 110 so uh I have some much resources you know and then also spread it out uh I'm
14:30 - 15:00 giving you guys some of the you know a provision of the my uh some of the research on this and then keeping you guys the more specific Messianic SS you know how you going to interpret it because you know some has a a lot of the Messianic characteristics so we uh must study about that so might be that this topic is you know giving you guys some some clue and uh really beneficial for uh understand the sum also uh so that's why I just puted a special
15:00 - 15:30 lecture okay and then after that uh interpreting poetic literature uh instead of the giving you guys giving as a fron right here because interpret interpretation part is a little bit different by the way okay so uh how you going to approach you know uh access to the text
15:30 - 16:00 of the different General so different structure definitely uh we have a specific proper methodology to understand interpret you know each zenra and then also uh categories of the books of the scripture okay so you understood so uh after Su uh some has uh most likely poetic literature characteristics so I mean the after study about you know sums and then I'm giving you guys How
16:00 - 16:30 You Gonna interpret this literature okay so this is the important and the next thing is assignment aeal paper I already put on you know uh our uh what's that here is the appendix 3 and you see attached paper and then I already put on um example but unfortunately uh exal paper is from Messianic sums but the psalm
16:30 - 17:00 chapter 11 is not a Messianic Psalm by the way so you cannot use this book uh this you know chapter so uh I put it on it's my actual paper you know when I was a seminar student before so you can take it off you know sometimes you guys may asking about the I didn't take any of the you know Hebrew class you know I don't know the original language it doesn't matter really okay uh bringing up the initial translation uh you might having up the
17:00 - 17:30 Su of the literal translation you can put on the Su of the uh n NB or ESB bringing up the all the different version of the you know uh the uh the translation and then you guys compare to sometimes you just to Google it and then just compare the different translations and then find out the little you know translation if possible okay and then you see the textual criticism criticism and then I just put it on you don't need
17:30 - 18:00 to do but the most likely uh if you can do that I want you guys to uh etical work that you already done you know before so uh verse by verse you know or some portion in the section of the your scripture then you might have uh some of the commentary top of the you know work on you know that is going to be your uh etical paper so last part is so important because you know I put on the uh
18:00 - 18:30 um maybe here's the stuff because we are dealing with the application part right so here's the things etical theological and a humble outline of that outline of the your messics you know I want you guys to work on the you know exal idea and then outline here is thing and Theological idea and the outline and also your humble latica idea and outline that is more like you know sermon uh
18:30 - 19:00 structure okay so the the reason that I just asking you guys to do that because um I mean not because of the your preachers wor something like that preaching is the kind of uh you know humble like idea is uh before the preaching preaching is actually active the communication of the truth of the god to the people the audience but uh this is the important because you know you guys talize and then also bring it
19:00 - 19:30 up uh some something that uh you guys uh you guys making the you know really real application to your life and then so that's why we need to work on the uh this humble etical work all the time okay we're not preaching you we are not bringing up you know it's about a 2,000 or more aging you know principles and a message message from the
19:30 - 20:00 scripture uh that's not that's not our message that's the message to the people who living in the that age so scripture actually we need to work on the the liation and then also contextualization and then also application part that we have to make it so that's why I put on the these the three work on that so if you have any of the questions that how do you going to deal with how you going to make it you know etical and then theological and a htic idea so please
20:00 - 20:30 email me and then I'm just going to give you the some of the you know material that you are dealing with you know actually the my preaching course you already got the you know all the information you know how you going to work on that you know I already gave you the some of the example but uh if you don't have any of the idea so please let me know some of the you guys didn't take the you know my um pring course that that's why um sometimes it is it is a little bit uh a little bit un uh
20:30 - 21:00 unfamiliar to uh this this part of the things but uh I'm I'm giving you guys a resource how you going to deal with that okay so this is the important so I attached you know this extic paper as example and then uh next thing is you see that uh we have a two exam okay midterm exam and then final exam uh I don't like I don't
21:00 - 21:30 like uh just the informative knowledge I want to use the your brain and your head I'm sorry a little bit like you know awward expression like you know I I want to want to just to think and then so uh most likely my exam is the is not the keeping you uh keeping the you know multiple choices or some of the answer to this question you know that that's the college stuff I think you know so uh
21:30 - 22:00 your graduate and then master degree people and then I'm giving you guys the essay question some of the you know issues that I bringing up you know when the my lectur ship and then giving you some of the hint and a clue and then you guys just writing down uh this is this is going to be like you know uh your time then you know um uh you might just put it on your your resources by the way so it it's not going to be that hard but you study your materials from the
22:00 - 22:30 lecture then you might have of the easier easier way that uh is making the answer to the questions okay so I I'm giving you guys some of the options that you guys taking care of uh taking care of it you know or you can choose the you know one of the one or two or uh some of the uh some of the ass question that you might have it you know you pick it up and then just answer to the you know exam that that's going to be your uh uh midterm in the final exam by the
22:30 - 23:00 way okay you got that okay any questions so far no everybody good okay so uh reading assignment and then we have a five times of the lecture sh meeting okay uh I want to do more of the time but but I I have some of the time conflict the schedule conflict with the other Institute and then also I'm I'm working and as uh full-time lead
23:00 - 23:30 pastor of the my church so that's why it quite a bit hard to us giving you the you know uh fulltime and then all the lectureship like this way okay so we're just meeting like a lecture like five times uh and then schedule up that you already got the you know lecture is the same Zoom link you know you can jump it in you know there is no password or no uh no delay so you might just joining at the same time uh pretty much you know I'm going to give you the uh uh time
23:30 - 24:00 differences because of some of the times I uh most likely we're going to meet up Monday or Tuesday okay Monday or Tuesday these two days in the same time okay 8 8 a.m. so uh maybe you guys are suffer you know midnight or some of the really late night I'm sorry about that you know but uh in a uh many different countries in a time zone is so different you know so that's why I'm making the best time for
24:00 - 24:30 me the best time for the students you know I think this is the you know time that we can we should have picked that up okay so any questions five times I'm going to give you the notification through email okay good to go and then last thing is you know you have a wisdom Journey Journal okay wisdom Journal is the as I just put on the you know all the information
24:30 - 25:00 uh have you guys have you guys have you guys done like any of the quiet time you know journal or something meditation or something right so pick it up the any of the wisdom little CH you know I expect you know Proverbs might be the best way but uh if it pick it up any of the job or something like that at least the 30 days I want you guys to write it down a consecutive way and then uh just write it Journal okay so you guys meditate and
25:00 - 25:30 read it and then uh I just put on the you know scripture reading too so uh you might you might make the journal like a 30 days at least I put on the you know all the information right there you know uh and then uh at least the 30 days you guys are making up and then uh just one page you know really simple way and then you uh just writing down the uh quiet time journal or some of the meditation Journal that you guys are making it you
25:30 - 26:00 know what what you guys are learn about and something and then uh some of the sections that you can just put on you know one pro copy and one unit or you can cover up the you know at least one unit but uh if you want to cover up the you know chapter by chapter uh it's it totally fine with that but uh what I what I expect you guys to actually uh the reason of the you know uh chapter from the chapter you know SL there some uh three or five verses you just guys
26:00 - 26:30 meditate and then also or you can cover up the you know entire chapter but uh it might be the hard for you know because of the uh amount of the chapter uh you cover up so it might be that hard for you guys to uh just write down writing down the entire chapter or something so I'm giving you some of the options like this so uh pick it up the one unit at least uh and then just read a paragraph response in a general okay this is how
26:30 - 27:00 we going to deal with that and all the information that I just give you like that's the exical paper like a Messianic sums and then uh these are lists extension extension lists actually conservative Messianic is only eight but I'm giving you the extension especially Psalm chapter 23 some of the scholars didn't really saying this is a Messianic but uh I'm uh extensional uh extensive way that you
27:00 - 27:30 know understand the Messianic something because you know Jesus Christ described as a uh great Shepherd and then in John and then also Hebrews so that's why uh some of the scholars may just think that you know Psalm chapter 23 is also you know Messianic Psalms but uh conservative understanding of the Messianic is only the direct the quotation from the New Testament authors
27:30 - 28:00 you know bring it up you know some and as a quotation indicating that Jesus as a messiah that is the cons uh conservative you know perspective to understand the Messianic s okay but we are covering up the you know extended way so these are the lists that I have so I want you guys to three parts uh translation and then translation first and then ex Jesus the text and then exal theological application outline of the
28:00 - 28:30 text so uh I already put on the you know appendex 3 so you check that out on that okay uh these are the course uh uh uh assignments and requirements you know only attendance is a 5% okay and then reading is a big portion to 25% is most likely uh you fail in the readings uh is a big trouble so uh I spread it out the approximately 40
28:30 - 29:00 to 60 required books and then at the same time you guys have a scripture reading too so uh it's a little bit heavier heavier for you guys but uh uh if you look at you know this portion 25% is a lot of the you know 1/4th of the total grade So reading assignment is so important papers two of the papers I mean the 15 and 15 and then two exams uh is going to be 2020 and then 100 and
29:00 - 29:30 then I also give you guys the extra credit so uh if you guys look at the you know last page uh up to the 5% of the total grade if you have a additional reading uh and then also book report if you submitted the four five four to six pages of read report might be the know last day of the discour uh I'm going to Grant you guys up to the 5% of to your total grade okay that's the extra point
29:30 - 30:00 you have any questions course policy and a notice and then uh one more one more things that I'm giving you guys some of the structure uh whenever I just ask you guys a lecture summary uh I don't expect you guys to copy and paste and then just uh you know just submit okay on your word and then it's just writing down the one or two
30:00 - 30:30 paragraphs that what you guys learn about that is important uh past the last you know semester then I didn't really give you guys a deduction of the grade but from now on anybody just to copy and paste the material that I give you guys uh is going to be zero Okay this not a uh this not a like you know copy and paste uh competition I want you guys to study and then uh at least I you guys need to just
30:30 - 31:00 watch the lecture by the way and then that is a Integrity issue and then honest the issue uh uh I mean uh I may I may just think about you know just copy and paste mean mean means that you know you didn't you didn't watch the lecture and then even you didn't really work on the your uh your work on that okay so small portion but actually that is uh that is so important because when I giving you guys this thing you know so I just want to check that out the what you
31:00 - 31:30 learn about it I'm not asking you guys the one full page is on it just one paragraph one one or two paragraphs is a short passage you know one or two paragraphs that means in one par per paragraph you know four five you know sentences you guys writing down uh I think you guys can do that right but but just the just you know copy and paste and then just submit it uh that's not a proper way so from now on if you're going to do it uh it's going to be automatically zero on that okay so want
31:30 - 32:00 you guys to keep in your mind and then uh this is not a this not a option uh I gracefully give you guys a full credit but not anymore so you guys need to watch and then writing down on your or and just submit it uh that is so important okay so hope you guys understand what I'm what I'm intended to say about about it okay I I don't want to give you guys any of the trouble uh
32:00 - 32:30 and then also you guys you guys are here to learn something then uh as a students you uh should show the your uh sincerity and also honesty uh uh integrity and also just work hard on your course by the way okay sounds good okay anything else you know contact the professor you know I already gave you guys you know my cell phone number and then also my did I just give
32:30 - 33:00 you a cell phone number by the way yeah this is my cell phone number this is United States so don't call me you know international call okay it's a charge a lot so most likely I am uh taking the email might be the easier way uh so please just give me the give me the call uh give me the you know message or email me and then I'm just going to reply as soon as possible well okay any questions no just look at the
33:00 - 33:30 all the syllabus you know uh all the information in in it so I think d uh for this you know syllabus you cover up I already used the you know almost like a 30 minutes but uh let me yes go ahead oh about this uh Messianic PSAL sir uh there's um different chapters from the psalm so what's your um instruction for us if we can if
33:30 - 34:00 we will choose one or all of them is Oh no just one one s but there is some of the S option maybe you can read it Messianic s some of the sums are really short uh maybe you proper to take it but that means uh I mean you got a A lot of the deeper uh research on that but if
34:00 - 34:30 you cover up the you know some of the long longer messianics it might be the you know uh you guys cover of a lot of the things you know so uh it's up to you okay just pick the one Messianic not the cover of the all the thing okay just one pick it up Sir another one um how can we submit the Daily Journal huh for 31 days how how how how do we submit the Daily Journal for 31 days oh wisdom Journal wisdom
34:30 - 35:00 Journal is the you know for uh in the end of the semester like uh May 23rd you know Friday uh you can you can do the you know uh submission so if you if you take the physical copy of the your uh your handwriting whatever you know or computer uh either way is a fine with that or you can you guys just scan it and then make the one file and then submited that one okay so I need to I need to get I need to read it I don't I don't think you know I'm just going to read it in detail but I just want to
35:00 - 35:30 check that up that what what you guys did and then also you guys actually did a journal and then meditation time on the text by the way that's the purpose on that you got that so make the one page or one one copy I'm sorry one copy in the end of the semester to submit it uh that's going to be all but the at least the 30 days okay we have a bunch of times you know approximately four we uh four months right three four months uh you the time yeah or it could be like
35:30 - 36:00 uh from today to 30 days a consecutive way but sometimes you guys are missing the one day or two days but um my recommendation is um uh is a continual if it possible so that might be easier and then also you guys have a been trained you know to do kind of things every daily uh pattern of the life and you practice on that that's the reason on that because the poetry and a
36:00 - 36:30 wisdom literature is the purpose wise in a Hebrew literature also uh uh uh this writing and then also collected uh for that reason so if you if you go to Jewish syga uh they actually read it uh read it chapter by chapter uh day by day but uh Proverbs actually that is uh that is for the education uh Jewish kids and then they
36:30 - 37:00 are just listening and then looking at you know 31 days might be the uh early Christians or uh even even nowadays we are uh having the 30 days you know one month to 31 days right 31 chapters you know day by day we are just practicing in a reading uh reading through the meditation time on that so you might even pick it up the job or you can pick it up the ecclesiast St some the songs or Proverbs uh you might you might find
37:00 - 37:30 out but uh uh uh for the wisdom Journal uh I I I didn't put on the you know Su because a su is a more like uh it contained the wisdom elements but it is quite a bit hard to say uh it is wisdom literature it is a uh poetic literature so it is a poetic literature but contained it the wisdom literature but uh wisdom in element but
37:30 - 38:00 actually it is not you know entirely uh described as a wisdom Literature Like You Know Ecclesiastes or job or some part of the you know Proverbs or something like that some ofss some of Solomon yeah uh we might both elements but some of the scholars yes wisdom literature but it is a short book so it's up to you it's it depends on the UN your choice any other questions no you have it um just a followup question Professor
38:00 - 38:30 about the wisdom Journal how do we do it is there any format or we can do it doesn't do not have any of the format okay so just the one page but at least you know I want you guys one separate page so per day okay you can bring it up to your uh whatever your your notebook and then just write it down or computer you use it but uh uh there is no form that's up to you that's for the your meditation training by the
38:30 - 39:00 way okay any questions anybody good good okay let me let me start up the you know our first lecture by the way oh my goodness I don't think you know I have enough time but I try I do my best okay really briefly I I got almost like 80 pages of the this lecture uh but hopefully I can finish up within uh
39:00 - 39:30 within the oh one one of thing that I'm going to let you guys know okay my lecture do not go over one and a half hours okay I'm not hold you guys the two hours or three hours I'm not going to do that at least the one expected one maximum one and a half hours so containing that so uh uh my video might be shorter but uh I'm going to keep it up
39:30 - 40:00 to you know my uh my time okay so uh don't be scared okay I'm not go over like two three hours you know is not a realistic number so at least one and half within the one and a half hours I'm just going to finish up the all the things okay sounds good good to go oh one thing uh when whenever I was going to do that lecture sh I want you guys to turn on to your video so I just want to see the your face uh and then also
40:00 - 40:30 interaction by the way so some of the you guys on and off sometimes you need to go to bathroom you know I definitely understand of all but the turn off the you know video all the time uh is not a good way I can't I can't see you guys any of the uh any of the faces and your uh your participation by the way okay so can you keep it up you know only five times you know lectur ship so I think you guys can do that right good to go all right all right so uh poetry and
40:30 - 41:00 wisdom in the lecture uh lecture one you know introduction uh we're going to cover up the two uh categories number one is a poetic books and a wisdom literature by the way uh this categories and this literature by the way wisdom and poetry L literature you know it is it is a very uh uh synchronized and then also
41:00 - 41:30 uh semantically we can use the both both terms at the same time because you know uh most likely poetic books uh contain the wisdom literature elements in know scripture that's why sometime uh sometimes we said like you know uh what about what about proverbs is a poetic books or wisdom books but actually it is both you know uh Proverbs is a poetic books at the same time it contains a
41:30 - 42:00 wisdom and categorized as the wisdom literature so we we're just divided two ways but actually uh please understand uh uh entity of that these two categories actually uh mutually used the both you know uh different General okay but actually it is it is pretty much you know uh same thing that I'm talking uh what is a uh a poet itic Books Okay uh
42:00 - 42:30 poetic books poetic books is the you know uh we we can use the Expression like a poetic books you know we are referring the and Psalms and Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and the song of songs sometimes the Song of Solomon you know because so we we know that song of the songs is the uh some uh some containing because the author is the Solomon so some of the Solomon might be the uh we can we can
42:30 - 43:00 mutually using that one and these the five books is referring the poetic Books Okay uh poetry also occupied occur in the many other Old Testament books you know this is not you know only the books that contain the poetic literature you know elements but uh uh many other Old Testament books contain the poetic portion you know some of the songs and some of the you know Psalms actually uh in in the book of the
43:00 - 43:30 first and Samuel Psalm uh first and second Samuel that we can find out the poetic parts of it David songs and also some different Hannah songs what whatever so uh we have it but this the five books and job and Psalms and Proverbs and Ecclesiastes the song of songs who contain the large portion of it that's why we are uh making the this portion as the one course and then making that this poetic books and wisdom
43:30 - 44:00 literature by the way okay so uh as you know that uh um patuk has the some of the isolated some uh poems historical books you know you see the Genesis the 40 uh 49 Exodus 15 and then Deuteronomy 32 and 33 that's the Moses you know songs and blessings and then also judges of five and then first Samuel 2 and then song of the uh the song uh song of the Hannah you have a s of the deorah so you
44:00 - 44:30 see that the historical B we can have or pen has some uh isolated Palm but but the poetic was of books contain the most likely uh this poetic elements and then also poetic portion that we are just studying and then uh this General is very unique and so we're covering up the this course all the things okay com characteristic of the Hebrew poetry and number one uh Hebrew poetry typically
44:30 - 45:00 displayed the certain characteristic most common are like a matter and also pism and aism uh Acoustics okay so we're covering of the uh these things first of all uh matter and the Rhythm uh rhyme I mean we know that modern poetry has a mle and Rhymes that play important role so so we might as the unit of the Rhythm and a patter on the bits you know that is a matter okay uh rhyme is the
45:00 - 45:30 presence of rep reputation in the bits so especially I'm just going to give you some of the example like a baa black Chef have you oh have you ever know this is kind of a Cheesy way my Kido actually just doing the ba black chefs have you have you any I'm sorry I'm a terrible on this you know actually that is a sum of the meter and a rhythm right and then also rhyme
45:30 - 46:00 yes sir yes sir three backs a full you know you you might see the some of the rhyme and then you anybody just really familiar to the rap wrapper or something we make it making some of the lime or something you know that is the kind of poetic you know characteristic okay one for the master and then one for the them okay so we we might have this the top of the you know
46:00 - 46:30 English English Rhythm and a rhyme and one for the little boy who lives down down like I'm I'm so terrible so forgive me and at this top of the you know Rhythm and the pattern of the bits you know so you might you might see the uh you might see the you know diff uh you you you see the met and the rhy okay uh we have a a poet Lure by biblical HEB
46:30 - 47:00 pure has a mle and a rhyme um Rim HEB pure rely on the much more uh met than uh Ryme and then uses a very bar uh bar bariety of the uh matric style so that's why we learn the biblical you know Hebrew by the way so uh you see the you know I bring the Genesis right here uh can you guys read
47:00 - 47:30 it okay but here's the letter okay this is a Hebrew letter but the you see the Su of the dots and then also bottom line then you know two dos and then also uh you see The Vow something so uh we we called it out uh some uh some of the middle and then uh vow uh vow symbol by the way you see the
47:30 - 48:00 a lot of the things that we have it like you know this is the how we how you going to read and then pronunciate by the way so uh in the PHS actually has it but original uh original like a manuscript that doesn't have this part of the things because some of the manuscripts you know actually uh uh major text and then also we bring up to some of the you know it it is it is a
48:00 - 48:30 better way to read and then also uh pronunciate that's why in know later time uh later Scholars and Jewish Scholars they put in some of you know vow vow uh symbol and then also these things so uh you might you might just read it rically so you can find out the this vows on that so you may check that out on on you know this vows and then also this all this uh signs on that okay
48:30 - 49:00 so this is the you know uh matter and the rhyme and then parallelism is uh really important because uh most important feature of the Hebrew poetry because we we used this term and then uh two parallels the line of the first a lot of the times the poetic books has a parallelism okay what is a parallelism uh two different lines and then also we we can see the paral parallel parallelism
49:00 - 49:30 in between those okay so uh each of them uh it complement the other in a some way the typically the lines that display display the parallelism of thought rather than parallelism of the rhyme or sound okay so you see that uh I'm just going to give you guys some of the example but you know definition part that I'm giving you guys you know this uh this slide show and then uh there are the three major and a primary type of
49:30 - 50:00 the parallelism occured um pure in a Hebrew you know poetry there a synonymous and then antithetic and then synthetic parallelism we can find out so so first of all uh uh synonymous uh parallelism you can find out and then uh this parallelism involved the repetition of the same thoughts or similar thought okay same idea same you know uh the
50:00 - 50:30 expression but you know two different parts actually paralyzed you know together and then repeat it once again so for example like a Psalm chapter 191 you see that you know the heavens declare the glory of God the skies will proclaim the work of his hand so you can compare two two lines here so heaven and skies similar right is the same way declare and
50:30 - 51:00 Proclaim and what about glory of God and the work of his maybe cause and result in a something you you can see that that that parallelism so two lines are repeated the same basic thoughts and an idea and a different words and a different expression but you know actually uh this the synonymous is pism actually just repeated once again in the same idea different you know expression different word so you might see that that
51:00 - 51:30 parallelism by the way so another thing is Proverbs 16:18 the pride of goes before the destruction and a uh hly spirit before the F so pretty much pride uh Hy Pride uh Hy spirit is the same way the destruction and the fold yes is the same idea you see the you know parallelism right and then what about Genesis the 49 and uh 12 you know Jacob's a blessing his eyes are darker
51:30 - 52:00 than Wine his the teeth whiter than milk so it is a little bit different parts you know different portion but uh you see the format on uh pattern of the sentence in a line is very similar right and it's size the teeth and the darker and a wider and a contrast synonymous aism but they actually emphasize is the this part so wine and M okay so you see
52:00 - 52:30 the good example uh see uh what parallelism in a pan by the way okay Psalm chapter 151 you know Sy parallelism also look at this oh Lord who shall sold in your tent who shall dwell on your Holy Hill similar you know Thoughts with a different expression okay you see the parallelism but sometimes we can we can find out the in uh complete parallelism what it means
52:30 - 53:00 you know some of the Omission happening so for example uh chapter 24 to1 in the book of The Psalm you see the there Earth is the uh e the Lord and everything in it there is something you know missing by the way the world and all who live in it and then uh there's a some of the Omission by the way so second part the second line you may missing the you know the is the Lords
53:00 - 53:30 but actually uh read us a clearly understanding you know thought from the previous line because you know uh uh it is some of the omission of the PO uh po poetic rhetorical devises so Omission sometimes incompletion of the parallelism happening in that because of we you don't need to repeat the same word and the same things you know same idea but the ACT a uh author and a reader uh reader
53:30 - 54:00 expecting you know the other things and then also same idea is coming up in the same of the pattern of the uh this paralelismo you know we can find that the incomplete imperialism also okay and uh Proverbs 19 to 29 also or you might see are prepared is a missing you know this is the incomplete sentence by the way way but the Hebrew uh Hebrew language is
54:00 - 54:30 going to be happen in the also helenistic uh in the world and Greek word also missing the some part of the uh uh uh elements of the sentence by the way but if you look at you know it's the English version English you know sentence by the way there's a subject and then you're missing the verb part right how you going to explain that but the poetic you know world we can expect
54:30 - 55:00 it we can you know anticipate it because you know there Omission happening you know are prepared actually within the within the here you can see that beating are prepared for the back of the F okay so this this kind of incomplete parallelism also happening so I want you guys to remind of that this kind of a you know uh synonymous of parallelism and the datic arism is a contrast okay there's the two lines that stand sharp
55:00 - 55:30 and contrast to each other so usually conjunction but okay provide a clue so chapter one Psalm chapter 160 he says for the Lord watches over the ways of the righteous but the Way of the Wicked are perished you see that you know but right right so there a contrast but actually these two lines contrast and then different idea different things you know saying about it and then psalmist the contrast of the Lord's of pro
55:30 - 56:00 providential you know care of the his people with the destruction of the wicked you know some days experience so this is kind of a uh uh antithetic you know parallelism we can find out Psalm chapter 1:6 the same thing you know the Lord Watches Over The Way of the righteous but the Way of the Wicked Will perish you see that uh anti antic antithetic parallelism another
56:00 - 56:30 thing ver uh Proverbs Chapter 102 you know same thing uh in Garden Treasures of are of the no value but righteousness delivers from that Proverbs 10:4 the same thing L hands make the man fall but the diligent hands to bring their wealth okay so this is the you know example that giving you and then uh Proverbs 107
56:30 - 57:00 and the same time same thing is but you might see that you know contrast you know two lines all that what about uh synthatic parallelism it is more like uh second line do normally complete the thoughts in a first line of left incomplete so for example like if you guys the two lines on that the first line is a state statement and then second line is going to be like supporting you know supporting line okay uh I'm just going to give you guys the
57:00 - 57:30 example might be the easier to understand okay so Psalm chapter 13 in know he is like a tree planted by the stream of the water which yields its fruit in season and whose lives that does not wither so you see that you know this sentence and a second line is a supporting and the expression uh and the description and then also explain about the in the first line right that is actually incomplete sentence and then second line is a
57:30 - 58:00 supporting in a complete you know entire idea that is the you know uh synthetical uh synthetic parallelism Psalm chapter 20 uh uh 2 and six and it says I have installed my king on Zion my Holy Mountain actually Zion the the name the name of what name of the mountain right Mountain yeah but but you know the pist actually
58:00 - 58:30 saying about that this is the you just not just a mountain but the this is my Holy Mountain pist describe the Zion as a my Holy Mountain and it's describing that Zion right because why because my king is there all right eclesiastes chapter 111 it says in know cast your uh C your your bread upon the waters for after many days you will find it again
58:30 - 59:00 what does that mean by that you do this things you know because there is a cause and effect you know that some of the result is coming up that after that so uh second line is to give the reason for the command of the first line so you see that uh this the uh this a parallelism differences you know and then what is synonymous antithetic and then synthetic you know parallelism all different three parts of the parallelism there is a
59:00 - 59:30 bunch of the different you know parallelism I might just to give you guys some of the lecture you know Proverbs might be there you know much more you know detailed stuff that I'm going to give you and but uh majority part is U these three parallelism is the composed of the approximately 90% of the you know parallelism you know wisdom and then also uh poetic literature by the way okay so another Hebrew poetry feature the kism oh this is important
59:30 - 60:00 kism is you know uh Greek word is CH which is written like the letter X so literature devices which is sequen is the idea is a pres and then repeat it in a reverse order so I'm going to give you guys the example it is a chm structure okay so uh if you see that uh I I just made of the verse like this you know oh Lord have mercy on me blood out of my transgressions oh god of my salvation so
60:00 - 60:30 you see the oh Lord and the all God of my salvation that is the not the same you know in front of the lines and then I just make it you know that one but you know actually in in the beginning of the in the beginning of the verse and in the end of the verse is you know pretty much a similar way similar you know subject that we can have it right in the middle have a mercy on me blood out of my transgressions is the same idea but this
60:30 - 61:00 is the example of the synonymous of par parallelism but actually that is in the CM structure by the way okay it is the it is the you know oh Lord oh god of my salvation is uh where you just put on the in the synonymous of parallelism we can have you know it is a very similar uh similar pattern of the uh pism but you know this is the K uh kism structure we can find out you know oh Lord and
61:00 - 61:30 then also almighty God oh God of my salvation in the end of the this line okay so for example like this you know I I just put you know uh the the a part is go oh Lord is going down and then oh god of my salvation right have mercy on me and I BL a blot out of my transgressions and you see that this this you know the cross line and then this x uh X you know uh Crossing actually that is a chm
61:30 - 62:00 structure by the way okay so uh we call that all also uh that is AB uh b and a the pattern uh that might be also chm structure by the way so uh for example Psalm chapter 8 I'm going to give you guys a brief you know uh contents but the if you look at the K Cas structure of the psalm chapter 8 what you guys see a BC CBA right you see that this you know uh
62:00 - 62:30 kasic uh kasic portion of the C and then this is the actually main portion and the main idea and then it's this going to be extended to the ABC CBA okay this a case case thck you know structure of the psalm chapter a you can find out okay any questions so far no we good to go okay sticks you know what is that alphabetical Psalms okay
62:30 - 63:00 alphabetical poems so we writing the 26 lines HS and we have a 26 you know English uh alabes a b c d and a z you know praise to the Lord but uh acostic you know first line is start the a something so if you for example when composed of the acostic poems you can see the you know staying the same topic and fit fit in all together and technical work in the same way and people get Hebrew words in a 22 and a 23
63:00 - 63:30 letters you know and then we can find out so for example Psalm chapter 1 119 and the most most the famous example you you might see that that's one of the longest SS that you can find out you see that the letter okay you see the a b c d okay abaga you know and then you see all different different different letters the startup you know the letter on that
63:30 - 64:00 and then there's the alphabetical Hebrew alphabetical order then you you guys will see that okay so uh proverbs 31 is the same thing and then this is the order of the acro uh acrostics so uh you might you might see that this a parallelism and also this poetic poetically you know devices so you can find out okay uh uh par parallels you know this is the you know more like Ancient
64:00 - 64:30 Ancient the near Eastern world you know uh pattern of the the the way the reason that I just bring it up because the when the when the wisdom literature and a poetic literature is written uh it isn't in the context of the you know the world that the auor actually living in dwelling in so uh ugar means that the language spoken in the Ancients ofar modern rashar Samara
64:30 - 65:00 and a mediterian cost actually that one you know AR archaeologist actually begin to uh ex excavated you know orgaran in 1929 and then also they got a lot of the study on that you know it is linked and then also we can find out some of the relation to the Bible and a Biblical literature by the way so because they are in the ancient near Eastern world and a Bible author also influenced by
65:00 - 65:30 that context and the culture and then also little lure so you might see that ugar parallelism and also some of the literature then you guys have some of the clue why the author expressed this way and that way okay so I want to skip it up to you know really quickly you know ugari was especially prominant on the uh Northern Syria and then it is a
65:30 - 66:00 written language in ancient of ugar and then I'm just going to give you guys all the information check that out the yours uh your PDF file and then biblical Hebrews it is important ugar is very similar to the biblical Hebrews because you know they are influencing each other receiving the influence from the you know ugic and then Hebrew Bible and then Hebrew uh biblical Hebrews and then also there forming and and also uh there uh there uh the E written a written
66:00 - 66:30 scripture is also uh influenc by the that literature context by the way okay so uh I I I just summarize the Hebrew words Hebrew word can occur in a different context but ugar the words occur a dozen times in clear context we can try the meaning of the ugic word for the Hebrew words in the biblical text to see that you know what do it meaning INF feedable okay in this way ugar text is sometimes clarify the meaning of the
66:30 - 67:00 different uh difficulty Hebrew words or passages by the way so for example here Psalm chapter 8 89 20 he says I placed the health over Mighty I lifted chosen one from the people okay here is some problem with that you know maybe it seems like parallelism but I place and a lived okay I understand but the here is some of the
67:00 - 67:30 awward word the help and a chosen one so you might asking about the why is the author saying about the help or chosen one it is a totally different you know English version but you know if you look at the Hebrew words help is a isar okay isar okay the first letter is word isar but actually that is uh a in and a modern Hebrew words of this word is a silence so pronunciate is
67:30 - 68:00 a really soft you know gai okay career okay so uh actually you might didn't hear the any of the sound you know rough sound on that so that's why uh some of the some uh some of the you know uh some of the manuscript you know texture criticism might be or some some some reason that you know that is the word play you know uh the author in intended
68:00 - 68:30 or not uh but uh you might you might see the why is the help and then lifted CH uh chosen one is so different because uh it is a pronunciation is the different way so ugic word is uh gazar means a young man but the Hebrew words is gazar is a we have some of the soft sound on that is is so there is some missing parts so if I put on the
68:30 - 69:00 you know ugar words uh zizar might be the young man I can put on you right here and then we might understand theable you know and then that's a parallelism by the way so I placed a young man over Mighty and I lifted the chosen one from the people so young man and a chosen man and a parallelism we can find out so maybe maybe texture criticism in a ugic pism and ugic words
69:00 - 69:30 might be the giving us some of the reason that you know why is it translate and then it's support of the you know manuscript and then the help but uh we might have a some the you know clue that young man maybe young man has uh you know sounds like a pronunciation wise it is you know uh we might think about the Hebrew poetry you know a translate and then also replace like a help you
69:30 - 70:00 understood you know why is the becoming like a help from the young man because the pronunciation is similar way and it sounds like you know is are and thenar you got it so so you you might you don't understand you know why is the clue you know the young man from from the young man and then you might just guessing out you know oh help is coming from the young man and then idea wise and then on pronunciation wise you know people are
70:00 - 70:30 just written like this way and then you might have some of the cluing ugar you know word okay so second part is the ugar Poetry uh poetry contain the many similarity to the Hebrew poetry uh but uh different purpos by the way so people of the ugar use this poetic style to writing the story of the there gods and God Godless okay but the biblical writer is to use it praise the worship one true God of the heaven so might be the different purpose on that
70:30 - 71:00 but the expression wise you might see that I'm just going to give you some of the example so ugar poetry help us understand the uh polytheistic words that you know surrounded the Hebrews the text reveals much uh much about the Baha B AER uh who worship the prophets of the Bible uh trly Den noce denounce it so you might see that some of the you know
71:00 - 71:30 prophets and then indicated Bahar air you know do not worship them because they are living in the poly theistic words you know bunch of the Gods we understand the theologically God is the only God but that pair of the ancient the near uh ancient near Eastern world that they have a lot of the Gods in that context you know uh might be that you guys have some of the clue and
71:30 - 72:00 understand interpret that why the prophets and this event and then uh polytheistic word and polytheistic you know uh understanding of the people back then you know contextual study you might have it though so uh here are the things you know epic Baha is the circle so Mar Baha here uh healer is make the love with the uh heers in the outback a cow in the field of the Des rain he Li with the S 70 times seven and amount say 8
72:00 - 72:30 times eight does she con see the we the boy okay there a ugari narrative of poetry but if you look at the god commands Israelites to kill all living things including animals in uh uh Canon because of the B trility there is an unethical sexual activity between a an animal but uh but that's why the Practical assassination and then you
72:30 - 73:00 guys have just wiped it out the when the Canon Land enterance event in Joshua but if you see that you know the reason why is so God is so brutal and then he is so un merciful no actually you got text and then also canity is a b Circle then you can find out what happened is with the sexual activities with the cow and their animals and they conceive the bear conce
73:00 - 73:30 you know boy you know that context of the canonize the culture that's why we understand the you know ugic Narrative of poetry what happening in the Canon Land Before Israelites actually enter into the prom as a Promised Land you understand why God just command wiped it out all the thing because of the this reason you understood you know ug got text ugar
73:30 - 74:00 poetry you know giving us some of the contextual Clues and then you might understand why God command like this way okay introduction to the wisdom literature I'm just going to make it a really short you know 10 minutes okay expression wisdom literature does not occur in the Old Testament you know actually uh scholar code the three books and share the wisdom feature the job and uh provers and Ecclesiastes sometimes you know some of some of the scholars
74:00 - 74:30 including some of the Solomon but wisdom Psalms you might see the 137 49 and 73 and it's most likely there's a wisdom Psalms and some songs are similar to the wisdom literature uh uh but actually a deductive function of the literature form but sometimes scholar excluded that s of the psalm s Solomon as a little uh wisdom literature but my stance is the doesn't really matter you know so it is
74:30 - 75:00 it is a wisdom literature I just concluded okay and then also all these books are called the poetic okay especially PS you know it is related to the wisdom literature uh wisdom idea which beyond the poetic books so check that out uh and near Eastern Eastern wisdom literature that is so important because the Old Testament wisdom literature had in uh International backdrop and you see the all the list is
75:00 - 75:30 because the Bible is not a detective by God to the human author but the Bible actually uh verbally organized uh organically inspired and then also the the author actually in the Bible uh in the context wise that they living in the Ancients the near Eastern world and a wisdom literature you know influence under that you know influences by the way so that's why their expression writing style and then also content some of the you know
75:30 - 76:00 uh some of the uh some of the you see the very simil similarity to the Ancient Ancient near Eastern wisdom literature you can find out on that and then you you might see that you know because of the Bible you know 100% God's word and at the same time 100% of the men's uh men's authorship also okay so language culture in a interwine in a particular language you use to poting out to specific group of the people okay when
76:00 - 76:30 you interact other language it means that you are also interacting with the culture and speaking the language and know you can you can understand the one culture without accessing the is cultural directly so that's why we are we should understand the an the year Eastern word and then also wisdom leadership by the way okay uh all things you know I I put it on and then uh the author of the first First Kings are compared to the wisest of Israel's the wise men and Solomon the wise men and
76:30 - 77:00 the uh Mesopotamia and Canaan in Egypt in a nonn word of the time so look at this okay First Kings 4:29 and 34 it says you know and the God gives the Solomon wisdom and understanding Beyond The Measure and a breath of the minds like the send of the seashore so that Solomon's wisdom surpasses the wisdom of the all the people people of the East and all the wisdom of the Egypt for he was a wiser than all other men wiser
77:00 - 77:30 than anybody else okay listed out the all the list is wise man in the world but the Solomon is the top one okay he also spoken the three uh 3,000 Proverbs the songs were one 105 you know SP Spar of the trees or all different kinds of the things you know and then listed of it and each Nation uh apparently had a wisdom teacher by the way Solomon is the
77:30 - 78:00 one of them so that's why Proverbs eastes the song of the Psalms some part of the psalm uh Psalm you know Solomon wrote it a portion of it majority is a David by the way and then Solomon just lefted left it after his little CH of the wisdom okay so archa AR archaeologist have discovered EXA Temple wisdom literature from the all part of the Ancients near Eastern in the Bible
78:00 - 78:30 we have uh three four books in know wisdom little CH you know Solomon's authorship and then you might see that you know those kind of things and then uh you might understand that you know what's the world and then wisdom word of the Ancients the near Eastern World okay so wisdom literature I I put on you know on a n that is the Ancients near Eastern you know abbreviation categorize the two general groups you know PR Pro Maxim is starting observing
78:30 - 79:00 about the life in general and the second part is the say have the an produced the document contain the length discourse or essay crapping the with uh uh clipping with the lives of most difficult problems so General observation that is the one part of there second part is the most typical problems you know might be the that is the S of the you know uh the documentation that you know provided that answer to the questions okay gotcha so far so good okay EG structure wisdom
79:00 - 79:30 and then uh Mesopotamian the uh discoursive you know wisdom all different kinds of the I just put it on the everything on the you know just to read it though okay hope you guys I don't have a time so I've still the 72 uh we have a 10 or 15 15 pages more but uh you know just read it through and then one thing that I just want to uh show you something I know you know see that uh that is the Deuteronomy 667 you
79:30 - 80:00 know uh Egyptian instruction uh instructional you know wisdom uh there is some typ of the some of the clues that in Moses actually he's living in the Egypt and then he educated and then also under the instruction of wisdom by the way so uh he's writing the Deuteronomy and then it is influence the influence of writing and then also form and also literature devices he utilized you know to writing the pan by the way
80:00 - 80:30 okay you understood okay next thing okay blah blah blah so you can you can find out all the information I'm sorry here's the things teaching of the uh teaching of the uh pwot Toops okay here's a very similar way look at this this is example he said to his son do not become arrogant because of the your knowledge nor confidence because of your wise take a advice from the simple
80:30 - 81:00 as well as the wise you never reach your full potential always having more to learn good speech in a hidden like an emerald but may be found as a woman uh creating crane okay look at this Proverbs Chapter 2 1-5 my son If you're receiving Mar words in the The Treasure of my Commandments with you making your ear attentive to wisdom and including
81:00 - 81:30 inclining your hearts to understanding yes if you call out for insight and raise Raise Your Voice for understanding if you seek it like a silver and search for it as a hidden treasure then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God context wise are very similar you got it it means you know the that context the wisdom literature world that
81:30 - 82:00 that influencing and then Solomon also living in that contextual world you know he's a writing Proverbs actually forming very similar pattern and then also contents we might see that you know uh in in the biblical you know scripture scripture actually just to bring it up and then showing that that characteristics by the way so other things you know I put on you know Psalm chapter uh Proverbs chapter 23 you see
82:00 - 82:30 the very similar way that you can see the you know similar contents by the way and then 25 to 13 is the same way and then uh 6 to 23 in the 29 is the same thing you know and then all the things in mediter uh uh Mesopotamian wisdom literature contain that discourse and extended the speech about the problems and the just Justice in the world and then also the Au has a not words for wisdom and a truth of the uh Egyptian literature that included the higher
82:30 - 83:00 moraly and a Pity of the Israelite wisdom literature so you might see the all different kinds of the expression in know wisdom literature that is strictly appreciate appropriated for the uh Mesopotamian course save the material but Bible actually a little bit different you know than a discoursive you know Mesopotamian discoursive the wisdom because you know is it is the you know actually uh the life of the you know the wisdom literature and then the
83:00 - 83:30 main Theology of the Proverbs I'm just going to cover up the later time that is the key is the you know god- centered life the fear of the Lord is the beginning of the wisdom of the Lord wisdom of the uh wisdom of the light so this is the thing that we are having the differentiation you know Bible and a Biblical Hebrew literature and uh other worldly stuff that you can find out the very similarity but I hope
83:30 - 84:00 you guys and give you guys this you know material then you know cover up and then check that out all these things and then I'm sorry uh Job chapter 21 and then 7 through 16 and then also um just read it through all the things you know very similar Babylonia uh toi and a very similar you know contents you can find out you know Job chapter 15 and then influenced by that time back then and here's the things that I just want to uh
84:00 - 84:30 conclude at like this way Old Testament or wisdom literature by comparing the all you know Proverbs and Ecclesiastes to literature of the Ancients near Eastern we can learn a great deal about how the ancient Israelites interacted with the little children of world view of the neighbors does it mean that they Incorporated material from the other culture I don't think so the wisdom literature provide a wonderful example of the crosscultural communication of
84:30 - 85:00 the wisdom and then they are influencing each other they're actually perceiving each other and also is a forming and then pretty much mixed up and then expression on that but here's the things you know the author used the Pagan literal TR it means the theological modification I don't I don't think that is going to be like a true things you know so we might understanding you know why uh we we believe the old testament
85:00 - 85:30 old testament wisdom literature by the way we take it you know the Pagan Lal uh literal in that word because the author of The Bible also living into that context but actually taking some of the you know uh devices and a format and then also the idea and then all these kind of things you know because put into the Bible but Bible is a a little bit different because why it is inspired that is God's word and then 100% human
85:30 - 86:00 authorial characteristic we can put it into the you know God's word and it has a scripture by the way okay so wisdom literature touch all the issues ex explore the meaning of the life ancients Israel uh aeration with a unique monistic perspective and a foundation of the wisdom is the fear of the Lord I already told you guys expressed in the genum faith Proverbs Chapter 1 7 you
86:00 - 86:30 know fear of the Lord is the beginning of the knowledge of full despise of wisdom and instruction okay so this is the wisdom literature that we have and then I just cover up the introduction to the poetic books and then also wisdom literature all together within the one and one and a half hours if you have any questions please let me know I already put on the all the lists all the you know the PowerPoint and PDF file that
