Have you ever wondered if the Bible you read today is 100% perfect and accurate? What if the ancient manuscripts tell different stories, especially when it comes to the biblical timeline from Adam to Noah?

In Part 8 of the Genesis Series, Christopher Enoch dives deep into the genealogies of Genesis chapter 5, comparing five of the most important ancient manuscripts side-by-side: the Masoretic Text, the Greek Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Latin Vulgate.

Using a detailed comparison chart, Christopher reveals surprising and significant discrepancies in the ages of the patriarchs. Are these simple scribal errors due to poor handwriting, or evidence of deliberate changes over the centuries? This investigation challenges the idea of a single, perfect biblical text and explores the complexities of textual transmission.

In this video, we cover:

A chronological overview of the five major manuscripts being compared.

A line-by-line comparison of the ages of Adam, Seth, Enoch, Lamech, and more.

Discussion on potential scribal errors versus intentional alterations.

How the Vulgate and Syriac texts align with (or diverge from) the others.

Q&A on the Masoretes, why people lived so long before the flood, and more.

Join Christopher Enoch for this critical examination of scripture in the ongoing Genesis Series.

Why did God really reject Cain's offering? What was the murder weapon? And how did Cain eventually die?

In this in-depth study of Genesis chapter 4, Christopher Enoch uncovers the details of the story of Cain and Abel that you won't find in most Bibles. By comparing the Masoretic text with more ancient manuscripts like the Septuagint and extra-biblical sources like the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees, we explore the dramatic events of the world's first family.

We'll tackle the tough questions:

Was it really about a "blood sacrifice," or was there another reason God favored Abel's offering?

What crucial sentence is missing from Genesis 4:8 in modern Bibles?

What argument led to the first murder?

What was the "Mark of Cain"?

How did Cain die? Ancient texts offer a shocking and violent account of his final days.

Join us as we analyze the scriptures, compare the ancient texts, and piece together a more complete picture of Cain, his crime, his curse, and his lineage.
