The Hebrew Gospel & The Seat of Moses / Nehemia Gordon

Arguments of Authenticity〚 Interviewed by: Dr. Nehemia Gordon 〛5/30/23
Join Ross K. Nichols and Nehemia Gordon (‪@Nehemiaswall‬) in this enlightening video as they delve into the fascinating variances between the Hebrew and Greek texts of Matthew 23:2-3. This discussion stems from Ross Nichols' discovery in 1995 of a significant variant reading in Shem Tob’s Hebrew Matthew, which he first explored in his article "A Note on Matthew 23:2-3 According to Shem Tob’s Hebrew Matthew." [https://bibleinterp.arizona.edu/opeds...].

In this dialogue, Nichols and Gordon explore the implications of the Hebrew text where the phrase יאמר "he says" introduces a singular authority, contrasting sharply with the plural interpretations common in the Greek texts. This key difference highlights a unique perspective on the authority of Moses versus the Pharisees and Scribes, aligning more coherently with the theological themes of Matthew's Gospel.

Nehemia Gordon, who credited Nichols in his 2005 book, The Hebrew Yeshua vs. The Greek Jesus, discusses how this variant reading provided new light on the debated "seat of Moses." This video covers their insights into the text and reflects on how recognizing this solution has shed light on an old enigma, offering fresh perspectives for understanding this passage.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these biblical texts through the insights of two scholars engaged in the study of textual variants and their implications for interpreting the New Testament.
