00:00God arranged for his method of communication with man to be simple yet effective, and
00:11For this, it was necessary to use language that was familiar to him. First, God made use of
00:19from several holy men who faithfully transmitted his message. The prophets received
00:25This communication came from God, and then they communicated it to the people. In this way, the people
00:31He could know the message of salvation, and thus the message received was passed on from generation to generation
00:38through generations. This is known as oral tradition. From the earliest times when humankind began
00:46to communicate through speech, orality, which is expressing oneself through words, has been a source
00:54of knowledge transmission, being the fastest, easiest and most used means of communication.
01:01In the life of the people of Israel, this transmission was of utmost importance. Parents told their children about their ancestors.
01:08The children were blessed with the wonders of God for his people, and it was the duty of whoever received this treasure to guard it.
01:14but also to be able to pass it on to future generations. In this way, the tradition continued to thrive.
01:21oral. But God willed that with the passage of time this same word would be spoken to men.
01:28preserved and transmitted to later generations through human writing. The first
01:35These writings arise from the people's concern to never forget the past and not lose
01:42their identity. The updated memory of the past helped them to situate themselves in the present and find the
01:49the path to the future. We know that the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to lose the
01:56memory, but even worse is when this happens to a people. This is how we arrived at the era of the
02:04united monarchy around the 10th century BC when it became possible to put not a book into writing
02:12but a collection of them. The strong influence that the Israelites received from Palestine, who already
02:20They were established at this time in Jerusalem and adopted the tradition of this civilization.
02:26Writing. Around the king, scribes recorded the laws and regulations of the kingdom in writing. This is how an author
02:37The one who has been called Yahwist composed an early history of the people of God, putting into writing the
02:46memory that the people preserved through stories and legends and that at a certain moment
02:53They were mixed with existing writings from that time, but always retaining the message of salvation.
03:02that he wanted to convey. He then wrote down his memories and stories about people like
03:10Abraham and his family, the Israelites, were born from parents to children. To speak of the times
03:17Previously, he partly used the literature of the Babylonians and their poems concerning the first couple and the
03:25the flood, but it also profoundly transformed them so that these stories expressed a vision of the
03:34a world that stemmed from their own faith. These ancient accounts were subsequently supplemented.
03:43with others from other traditions, sometimes repeating the same events. Much later, when the
03:51The Jews returned from exile to Babylon; their priests shaped the whole; it was they
03:59Those who composed the poem of creation in seven days with which Genesis begins, and in a certain sense
04:06The entire Pentateuch. The foregoing would suggest that this was itself a task undertaken by the
04:13However, we must remember that the initiative to reveal oneself belongs solely to God.
04:21Man by himself is incapable of encountering revelation; this is reserved only for God.
04:29initiative. When we talk about revealing, we mean removing the veil, uncovering what is hidden. Under the
04:40From a biblical perspective, revelation is then the loving manifestation that God makes of himself and of
04:49His divine plan of salvation for all men. In other words, we can say that it consists of the
04:56God's self-manifestation in the person of Christ, our Savior, who offers us divine life.
05:04The creator wants to connect with man in a selfless and gratuitous way. God then breaks his
05:13Silence. He who seemed distant now becomes close and communicates his life to us through his words.
05:21It is in this spirit of communication that God, through the sacred authors, decides to go out to
05:28encounter of future generations arousing in the agiographers the desire to put it in writing and this
05:36I emphasize this. Only that which the Spirit of God inspired in them. Without going into detail on the subject of
05:43Divine inspiration, which is a topic we will discuss later, we will only mention what it expresses in this regard.
05:49of the revelation of the word of God as written in the dogmatic constitution of Dei Verbum.
05:56First and foremost, scripture is the word of God, and inspiration has the specific function of...
06:05Textualization of the word of revelation. The essential effect of inspiration is to make of the
06:13The word of God is a scripture. And it also beautifully says, in the sacred books, the Father who is in the
06:22Heaven lovingly goes out to meet her children to talk with them.
06:30We are therefore facing a highly significant historical moment in the people of Israel,
06:37The commitment to writing in sacred books. We said then that the first writings
06:44Biblical texts date back to approximately the 10th century BC. It is the same word of God that gives us
06:51This information is found when we read the following in the book of Exodus, in chapter 34, verse 27.
06:59The Lord said to Moses, “Write these words down, for in accordance with them I make a covenant with you and with Israel.”
07:11Let us remember that alphabetic writing already existed in the time of Moses.
07:15Most of the books of the Old Testament were written in Hebrew, except for some passages of the
07:23The Book of Daniel and the Book of Esther, which were written in Greek. According to an ancient legend
07:29Contained in the letter to Aristeas, the first translation of the Old Testament was made three
07:35Centuries before Christ, by order of the King of Egypt, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who entrusted 72 wise men
07:44They translated into Greek the books of the Torah, which were then written in Hebrew, and that is why it is called the
07:51The Seventy-two translation tells how the law was translated into Hebrew by 72 sages from Jerusalem
07:59in 72 days, and the marvel lies in the fact that, working independently of each other and thanks to the
08:08divine inspiration led them to produce exactly the same text in Greek. Hence the name with the
08:16This translation of the Bible from Hebrew to Greek is known as the 70 or Septuagint.
