0:00Hey Bible nerds, this is Dr. Manny
0:02Orango. Welcome to the Bible department
0:04podcast powered by Arma. We are walking
0:08through the entire Bible in a year. You
0:10can go to the description or the bible
0:13department.com to download a reading
0:15plan and join the journey
0:24family. Welcome to day 309 here at the
0:27Bible department. Today we are looking
0:29at Proverbs chapter 22, 23, and 24. And
0:33you'll notice if you've done the
0:35reading, you will notice that things
0:37have shifted. All right? So, I actually
0:40have a lot of context to share with you
0:43today. I know the last couple days we
0:45haven't really needed to go heavy into
0:46context. It's just like, hey, aphromisms
0:49by Solomon, right? These sentence
0:51sayings that we've been getting from
0:53Solomon for the last couple of days.
0:55Well, today we actually have some
0:58context. So, before I dive into context
1:00clues, let me say what I say every day.
1:03If you haven't done the reading, you can
1:04stop this video, pause the audio, go get
1:07the reading done. You're really, really,
1:09really want to go. You're really,
1:11really, really going to want to dig into
1:14these Proverbs today. It's a good change
1:17of pace. You're going to notice as soon
1:20as we get into Proverbs 22, just a
1:23difference in tone. And there's a good
1:25reason for that difference in tone. And
1:28so with no further ado, for everyone who
1:30has done the reading, let's dive into
1:32our context clues. Okay, this is perhaps
1:35the most intriguing part of the book of
1:38Proverbs and maybe actually one of the
1:40most interesting parts of scripture
1:41itself as this smaller collection of
1:45apherisms after Solomon's main section
1:48is very similar to collections that have
1:51been found in Egypt. in particular. They
1:54are very close to a collection known as
1:56the wisdom of, and I always struggle
1:58with this name, okay? So, you're gonna
1:59have to have grace for me. Amen.
2:02Amen.
2:05Amen. There we go. The wisdom of Amenop.
2:10Amen. I think I'm saying that correctly.
2:13Who knows? I don't know how to read
2:15hieroglyphics and I don't know how
2:17Egyptian words are pronounced. So, uh,
2:19the wisdom of Amenop. Okay. The dates
2:22for that are circa 1186 BC to 1170 BC.
2:28And this is a book of Egyptian proverbs.
2:31That's what makes this so fascinating.
2:33The bulk of our reading today is
2:35straight up proverbs taken from an
2:37Egyptian book of proverbs written around
2:40200 years before Solomon wrote his
2:43proverbs. It is thought by many scholars
2:46that what we have here are actually
2:50Egyptian proverbs that have been taken
2:52by an unknown Hebrew wise man and
2:55incorporated into the Hebrew wisdom
2:56tradition. They are not identical as the
3:01Egyptian original would of course have
3:04many references to pagan Egyptian gods.
3:07The Israelites would therefore have, I'm
3:10putting in air quotes, cleaned them up
3:12before adding them, which means they
3:15would adapt them for use in the Hebrew
3:18tradition. That means, let's take
3:20Proverbs 22. I just want to give you an
3:23example. Proverbs 22 23. Well, we can
3:27start at verse 22. Do not exploit the
3:29poor because they are poor. And do not
3:32crush the needy in court. for the Lord.
3:35Okay, for Yahweh uh will take up their
3:38case and will exact life for life. All
3:42right, that proverb 22 22-23
3:47says Yahweh. So when when we say like
3:50clean them up in the original Egyptian
3:54manuscript, it would have said Rah,
3:56okay, or maybe some other pagan god. And
3:59so what has happened with all of these
4:01proverbs? And you can see it starts at
4:03verse 17. Chapter 22:17. There's a
4:06little heading in my Bible that says 30
4:09sayings of the wise. Okay. So Solomon's
4:12content is done by verse 16. And then we
4:15have a break in the middle of the
4:17chapter. In chapter 22:1 17, we're now
4:21going to get 30 sayings of the wise.
4:23Well, these 30 sayings of the wise are
4:26straight up Egyptian proverbs and
4:29they've been yalified. So the the words
4:33like Rah or Horus or Apep or whatever
4:37Egyptian god, you know, the the wise men
4:42of Egypt would have attributed these
4:45aphromisms to the the Hebrew writers
4:47have taken those pagan names out and put
4:50the word or the name Yahweh in. Okay,
4:54this is fascinating and gives valuable
4:57insight into both the ancient world of
4:59wisdom and the way Yahweh often uses
5:01surprising sources for his messages to
5:04Israel. It shows how connected this
5:06ancient wisdom world was that Hebrew
5:09wisdom writers were aware of Egyptian
5:12wisdom and respected it. That's so
5:15important, right? We can see another
5:17glimpse of this in first kings 4:30 when
5:20Solomon's wisdom was compared to the
5:22best examples of wisdom traditions at
5:25the time. Here's what it says. So that
5:27Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of
5:29all the people of the east and all the
5:31wisdom of Egypt, which means Egypt was
5:34known for producing wisdom collections
5:37and wisdom content. Egypt was known to
5:39have great wisdom. Okay, the
5:41civilization was built on wisdom. And
5:44this uh verse here in First Kings 4:30
5:48is used to show just how wise Solomon
5:50was. If he's wiser than the wisdom of
5:53Egypt, then that must mean he's really,
5:55really, really wise. And so what we see
5:57here in Proverbs is almost like we get
6:00First Kings 4:30 played out in real
6:02time. Let's put the wisdom of Egypt
6:05right next to the wisdom of Solomon and
6:08anybody can judge whether or not it's as
6:10wise or less wise or more wise or
6:13whatever. Okay, here's another
6:15fascinating angle on this. It gives a
6:17flip side to the way the nations are
6:19often portrayed in scripture. Up until
6:21this point, it's really just the
6:23negative influence of idolatry, false
6:26susarins, oppression that we've seen in
6:28terms of like the nation's contribution
6:30to what we have in the scriptures. And
6:32so, it's almost like all gentile
6:35influences lumped together under the
6:37banner of paganism, okay? And pagan
6:40influence that must be avoided. In fact,
6:42you get the message loud and clear
6:44through the prophets that Israel was
6:46meant to draw the nations closer to
6:48Yahweh. But instead, the nations had
6:50drawn Israel further from Yahweh. But
6:54here, here in Proverbs, we have gentile
6:58wisdom from none other than the original
7:01great enemy of Israel, Egypt, that is
7:04seen as valuable. Okay. Obviously, you
7:08know, idolatrous idolatrous references
7:11and names and pagan gods are removed and
7:14it's cleaned up. But still, there's a
7:16redeeming quality to this secular
7:19wisdom. And this wisdom has enough value
7:22to be added to a work that would be
7:25added to scripture itself. Okay? So,
7:28that is incredible. By the way, this
7:31isn't like the first time scripture has
7:33done this. All right? What might
7:34surprise the casual readers of the Bible
7:37is how much of it finds its roots
7:39outside of Israel. Much is, shall we
7:42say, borrowed from the nations around
7:44it. Israel's creation stories share much
7:47in common with the Egyptian ones. Its
7:49flood in other ancient stories share a
7:52lot in common with Mesopotamian stories.
7:55Israel was not the first culture to have
7:58a mobile temple containing their God in
8:00a box. In fact, the design of the
8:03tabernacle in later temples shares the
8:06same layout of other temples and shrines
8:09that belong to pagans. Okay? Even in the
8:11New Testament, Paul uses hymns to Zeus
8:14and other Greek philosophy quotes and
8:17poems to speak about Jesus. And beyond
8:20this, the church has a long history of
8:22using Roman and other cultures images to
8:24tell the gospel story. This is what we
8:27do. Like the legacy of the
8:30Judeo-Christian faith is a legacy of
8:33appropriating culture. Like essentially
8:35Judeo-Christian
8:37worldview essentially says, "Oh, that's
8:40true." And if it's true, it reflects
8:42God. So let's go ahead and take it.
8:45Whatever is true, anything that's true,
8:47if it's wise, if it's true, if it's
8:49good, yeah, every human's been made in
8:52the image of God. So that means that
8:54every culture has innate elements that
8:58reflect the glory of God and every
9:00culture has innate elements that are
9:02opposed to the kingdom of God. And so
9:05this is just theology and action, okay?
9:08Us having a bunch of Egyptian proverbs
9:11right here smack dab in the middle of
9:13your Bible, like I don't know. You got
9:16to wrestle with that. And I'm trying to
9:17help us kind of process that together.
9:20Family, the wait is over. My brand new
9:23book, Crushing Chaos, is [music] out now
9:26and available everywhere books are sold
9:29literally today. I walked into a Barnes
9:32& Noble and I signed a bunch of copies
9:35at a physical location. So, you can grab
9:38this book at a physical Barnes & Noble
9:40or you can go to a Books a Million or
9:43Amazon or anywhere books are sold and
9:46grab a copy. If you enjoy reading the
9:49Bible from an ancient perspective, if
9:51you understand that the beauty of
9:54scripture is actually knowing it in
9:55context, then you'll love this book.
9:58[music]
9:58And if there's any chaos in your
10:00personal life, I think that reading the
10:03Bible from an ancient perspective can
10:05actually help to crush the [music] chaos
10:07in your life. I think this book is going
10:09TO BE A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. I
10:11really do. I think we wrote a good one.
10:13I think you [music] should get a copy
10:15today. All right, back to the episode.
10:18All right, let's wrap this section up so
10:20that we can get to nerdy nuggets. Okay,
10:21what are we to make of all this? Well,
10:23simply put, God speaks to us in our own
10:26language. God wants to communicate in
10:28ways that people will actually
10:30understand. Okay, God is not really
10:34interested in talking to us in ways that
10:35we're not familiar with. This is what we
10:37find in scripture, that same everyday
10:40experience of God speaking in a time,
10:42language, and culture. But because it is
10:45the Bible, those cultures and linguistic
10:47references are now frozen in place as
10:49they were written down and added to
10:51God's word. Okay. So, we're going to
10:53look at the 30 sayings of the wise that
10:57start in verse 17 of chapter 22. And
11:00they're actually going to go all the way
11:02up until chapter
11:0525.
11:07Okay? Once we get to chapter 25, we get
11:09back to Solomon. Okay? So, the majority
11:12of our reading today, straight Egyptian
11:15pagan wisdom, and I love it. Let me give
11:18you uh let's move into our nerdy
11:20nuggets. I don't have a lot of time.
11:21Just going to rapid fire some of these
11:23that I just think are really good. Okay.
11:25Proverbs 22:1 says this, "A good name is
11:28more desirable than great riches. To be
11:30esteemed is better than silver or gold."
11:33Amen. A good name. What do I want to
11:35pass along to my son? A good name. That
11:37the Orango name is a good name.
11:39>> [snorts]
11:39>> And if you have a bad credit score, you
11:41don't have a good name. Let's just start
11:43with that, okay? A good name. You want a
11:45good name. A good name is what would
11:47make a bank loan you money that you have
11:49a good name. That means you pay your
11:51debts. Okay? A good name. So, [snorts]
11:54you can't say, "Well, everybody that I
11:56know trusts me, but the bank doesn't
11:58trust me." No, no, no, no. A good name.
12:01Okay? A good name. And uh I get it. Life
12:04happens. But you need to you need you
12:06should have a good name. Okay? Proverbs
12:0822 24-2 says this, "Do not make friends
12:11with a hot-tempered person. Do not
12:13associate with one easily angered, for
12:16you may learn their ways and get
12:18yourself ins snared." Two things that I
12:21want to say about that. Number one,
12:23there's a dangers to being around
12:24hot-tempered people, easily angered
12:26people. Also, what this proverb is
12:29really getting at is that the
12:31characteristics of your friendship group
12:34are going to eventually rub off on you.
12:35And if you think they're not, then
12:37you've placed confidence in the flesh.
12:38And at some point, you need to be humble
12:40and realize I'm influenced. I'm not the
12:43only one with influence. There are
12:46people with influence who are
12:47influencing me. Okay. Proverbs 22:29. Do
12:50you see someone skilled in their work?
12:52They will serve before kings. They will
12:54not serve before officials of low rank.
12:56I love this verse. And I remember
12:59learning this verse when I was a young
13:00adult. And I began to realize that
13:03although I was raised in poverty, you
13:04know, my dad was incarcerated for 18
13:06years, took me to a crack house when I
13:08was five, my mom was pregnant at the age
13:09of 12, was on welfare and government
13:12assistance and section 8 and, you know,
13:15everything else just raised in poverty.
13:17I began to realize that excellence was
13:19my way out of poverty. But you see what
13:22it says? Do you see someone skilled in
13:24their work? They'll serve before kings.
13:26So I decided I'm going to be the most
13:28skilled communicator I can be. If if if
13:31preaching is what I'm going to do, you
13:32better believe I'm going to be the most
13:33skilled person at it. Okay? So, a
13:36culture of excellence, being excellent,
13:38being detail- oriented, being skilled,
13:40incredible. Incredible. Proverbs chapter
13:4323:4,
13:45do not wear yourself out to get rich. Do
13:48not trust your own cleverness. That's a
13:50good one, man. We got a lot of people
13:52wearing themselves out to get rich. What
13:54should you wear yourself out to do?
13:55Proverbs chapter 6:es 1 through to 5
13:59says that there are some things you
14:00should wear yourself out for and it's
14:02not to get rich. Okay. Proverbs chapter
14:056 verses 1-5. So do this my son. And
14:08then verse three. So do this my son to
14:10free yourself since you have fallen into
14:12your neighbor's hands. Go to the point
14:13of exhaustion and give your neighbor no
14:16rest. Allow no sleep to your eyes, no
14:18slumber to your eyelids. Free yourself
14:20like a gazelle from the hand of the
14:22hunter, like a bird from the snare of
14:24the fowler. Okay. So, it's saying no,
14:26no, no, no. Don't. If you're in debt,
14:29you go to the point of exhaustion. So, I
14:32want to create some tension here.
14:33Chapter 23:4. We do not wear ourselves
14:36out to get rich. But Proverbs chapter 6
14:39says, "It is okay to wear yourself out
14:41to get out of debt." And those are
14:42different. Okay. Next one. Rapid fire.
14:45Okay. Proverbs 23
14:4810. Proverbs 23 10 and 11 says,"Do not
14:53move an ancient boundary stone or
14:54encroach on the fields of the fatherless
14:57for their defender is strong. He will
15:00take up their case against you." Okay,
15:03so God again, God loves the poor. Okay?
15:06Do not move an ancient boundary stone or
15:09encroach on the fields of the
15:10fatherless. Okay? God loves the orphan.
15:13Okay? And those who don't have a father,
15:16God becomes their father. he becomes
15:18their defender. That's a good good good
15:20good verse. Okay? Don't take advantage
15:22of people who are in a precarious place
15:26in society. Like don't don't take
15:30advantage of the vulnerable. Don't do
15:32that. Chapter 23
15:3419. Listen my son and be wise and let
15:36your heart and set your heart on the
15:38right path. Do not join those who drink
15:41too much wine. Don't do it. Do you got
15:44friends who drink a lot? Mm-
15:45[clears throat] steer clear. And this
15:46before vehicles. So the issue isn't just
15:49getting hit by a, you know, being in the
15:51car with a drunk driver. It's just this
15:53is not wise. It's not good to associate
15:55with people who drink a lot or gorge
15:57themselves on meat. For drunkards and
15:59glutton become poor and drowsiness
16:02clothes them in rags. Okay. These kind
16:06of people become poor. Drunkards and
16:07gluttons. That's just like saying people
16:10who love pleasure are going to become
16:11poor. Don't do it. Okay. That should be
16:14six rapid fire verses. Okay. Number
16:17seven, Proverbs 23 verse 29. Who has
16:21woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who
16:23has complaints? Who has needless
16:25bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Lot of
16:28rhetorical questions back to back to
16:29back to back to back. Those who linger
16:31over wine. Uh-oh. Uhoh. Now remember,
16:36these are written by Egyptian heathens.
16:39These ain't even this is not even like
16:41Hebrew content. This is written by the
16:44strongest content to oppose alcohol
16:48written by pagans. Actually, one of the
16:51biggest uh reasons that I have
16:54completely gone like an kind of
16:56anti-alcohol is because there's this big
16:59movement right now that's just based on
17:01health that has proven scientifically
17:04that all alcohol is poison. Like that
17:06it's not even good for you. like from a
17:08just from a health benefits perspective.
17:12People who are not Christian are going
17:15totally absent when it comes to alcohol.
17:18Meanwhile, you got Christians fighting
17:20for their Christian liberties, you know,
17:22fighting for their Christian right to
17:24drink. So backwards. You got a a secular
17:28world of people who are making health
17:30decisions to coal plunge and join run
17:32clubs and not drink. And then you got
17:34Christians over here who are fat and
17:37drinking. Oh man, this is just it's
17:41basswards. That's what it is. It's bass
17:44awards. Anytime you got, you know,
17:48people that don't know God leading the
17:50way, we got we got a problem. So So I
17:53decided, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
17:54wait, wait. No way I'm letting unsaved,
17:58lost people make healthier decisions
18:01than me. And here we have Egyptian pagan
18:04heathens who are warning against the
18:07power of wine. Those who linger over
18:09wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed
18:11wine. Do not gaze at wine when it is
18:14red, when it sparkles in the cup, when
18:16it goes down smoothly. In the end, it
18:18bites like a snake and poisons like a
18:21viper. Don't get fooled, man. Don't get
18:23fooled. Okay, that's 23
18:2629-32.
18:28Uh then Proverbs chapter 24 13 is
18:32another one in my top 10 for the day.
18:35Proverbs 24:13.
18:38Eat honey, my son, for it is good. Honey
18:40from the comb is sweet to your taste.
18:43Know also that wisdom is like honey for
18:46you. It tastes good. Wisdom tastes good.
18:48I love the visual. Your like I could
18:50taste honey right now. And essentially
18:52the the author, whoever this, you know,
18:54Egyptian author is, the original
18:56Egyptian author and whoever the Hebrew
18:58redactor is or editor is saying, "Yep,
19:01yep. Wisdom is like honey for you. If
19:03you find it, there is a future hope for
19:05you, and your hope will not be cut off.
19:08Eat, eat, eat wisdom. Consume wisdom
19:11like it's honey." That's good, man.
19:13Proverbs 24:16. For though the righteous
19:16fall seven times, they rise again, but
19:18the wicked stumble when calamity
19:20strikes. Why do the wicked keep getting
19:22up? Because they have no ego. They're
19:25not dependent on their own selves.
19:27They're dependent on the Lord. When the
19:28wicked person falls in public, they're
19:31so full of shame because everything is
19:34based on them. It's really it's a pride
19:36issue. But for the righteous person,
19:39it's all God. You know, I like I'm not
19:41embarrassed, right, to fall, which gives
19:44me the determination to get back up. I
19:46love it. Proverbs 24:30 is the last one.
19:49I went past the field of a slugard. That
19:53means a lazy person, slothful person,
19:55past the vineyard of someone who has no
19:58sense. Thorns had come up everywhere.
20:00The ground was covered with weeds, and
20:03the stone wall was in ruins. I want you
20:06to be thinking about the Garden of Eden
20:08here. There's strong Eden imagery. Verse
20:1032. I applied my heart to what I
20:12observed and learned a lesson from what
20:14I saw. A little sleep, a little slumber,
20:17a little folding of the hands to rest,
20:19and poverty will come on you like a
20:21thief, and scarcity like an armed man. I
20:24have that memorized. A little sleep, a
20:27little slumber, a little folding of the
20:30hands to rest, and poverty will come on
20:32you like a thief, and scarcity like an
20:34armed man. It's a good one to memorize.
20:36Not originally a Hebrew proverb, but
20:41Egyptian proverb that got adopted,
20:43Yahwified, and put into our Bible. All
20:46right, let me leave off with a timeless
20:48truth for the day. It's Proverbs 22 28.
20:51Proverbs chapter 22 28. And it says
20:56this, "Do not move an ancient boundary
20:58stone set up by your ancestors." Do not
21:00move an ancient boundary stone set up by
21:02your ancestors. So, let me give it to
21:04you as a nerdy nugget and as a timeless
21:06truth. What is this verse saying? It's
21:08saying don't um steal property from your
21:11neighbor. Okay? Boundary stones are
21:14there to make sure that everyone who got
21:16the land they inherited from their great
21:18great great great great grandparents
21:21that all the land is still theirs. Okay?
21:23I don't know if you have ever been on
21:25TikTok and you watch people argue over
21:28where a fence should be to separate
21:30their land. It's just like, man, people
21:32just fighting tooth and nail over like a
21:34couple of inches or a couple of feet.
21:36So, some things just haven't changed.
21:37And so, the proverb is saying, don't be
21:39dishonest. Don't lie, don't move a
21:41boundary stone. Boundary stones are put
21:44in place to know the boundary of their
21:46land versus yours. Okay? But then I
21:48think it has a timeless truth to it as
21:50well. Number one, boundaries are
21:53important. It's important to know where
21:55my land ends and yours begins. It's
21:59really important to know how to suffer
22:02not for someone but with someone. How to
22:05create proper boundaries in my life. My
22:08therapist diagnosed me with inshment
22:11years ago and it meant that me and my
22:13mother had no boundaries. Okay, we had
22:15an inshed relationship and uh I carried
22:19her burdens for her. Instead of helping
22:21her carry her burdens, I carried her
22:23burdens for her. This is a codependent
22:25relationship. So I think the Thomas
22:27truth here is whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
22:29You got to know where the boundary
22:30stones are. You got to have good
22:31boundaries. And then next set up by your
22:34ancestors. Okay. Do not move an ancient
22:37boundary stone set up by your ancestors.
22:40I think the emphasis in this verse is on
22:43the words ancient and ancestors. Which
22:46means there are some things that we've
22:48inherited as Christians that are based
22:50on 2,000 years of history and we
22:53shouldn't go meddling with it. Okay. Um,
22:55so if every single Christian from the
22:59time of Jesus up until a hundred years
23:02ago all said homosexuality is a sin,
23:05then I'm not about to trust some new
23:07theologian who now all of a sudden 2,000
23:11years later, you know, wants to break
23:13off from the boundary stone, the ancient
23:16boundary stone that God set up. So I'm
23:19leerary of like new ideas. That doesn't
23:22mean I'm not down to innovate. It just
23:24means the moment we start going, you
23:27know, veering away from what
23:29Christianity actually is and has been
23:32historically, I get like I get I start
23:36to glitch. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
23:38whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We
23:39need to stay tethered to what historical
23:41Orthodox Christianity is. I think that's
23:44very, very, very, very, very important.
23:46We're not making up our own rules out
23:47here. There's an ancient way to do this.
23:51There's a way that our ancestors have
23:52taught us how to do this. And I think we
23:54should be faithful to run our leg of
23:58this relay race because uh we're not the
24:01first generation to make this stuff up
24:03and we're not the last. So, all right. I
24:06hope that's a helpful Thomas Truth.
24:08Tomorrow we are in Proverbs 25 to 27 for
24:12day 310. If you're on a streak, I'm so
24:16proud of you. If you're not on a streak,
24:17I love you. I'll see you right here
24:19tomorrow. Same place, same time. Peace.
