Nehemia: Mah-la-chi means “my mal’ach”, my angel. Nehemia: Yes, but in Hebrew it’s Mahl-ah-chi. It says it right here - I’m looking and it says, Ma-la-chi. Keith: Because in English we say Malachi. I think when I first heard a non-Jew say the name Malachi, I had no clue what they were talking about. Or… before we get started, what you think about the name Malachi? Can you tell us what that name means? Keith: We’re right in Malachi chapter 1, which is connected to Genesis, and it’s going to be really clear about why it is that this is connected. Keith: And for all of our Prophet Pearls partners who have come alongside with us, like I said about half of them have been covered, the other half, we’re still working on. Sherri, thank you very much for your support. And so we’re going to get a chance to bring a little of that up in a couple of the verses, and I know you’re going to appreciate it. We asked the partners if they have a question or a comment, and she took this serious.
But before we do that, it just might be our Prophet Pearls partner’s birthday also - Sherri Rogers from Colorado is our Prophet Pearl partner. Isn’t that amazing? When we had him, he was actually also born, I believe it was the day before Thanksgiving. Nehemia: Yes, I was actually born the day before Thanksgiving. So we’d like to add you into the celebration of birthdays. It’s usually around the time of Thanksgiving, it’s the time of his birthday. We had our first son on the 22nd - not in the same year, some years later - but we always celebrate this time of year. I’d like to say happy anniversary to her.
I just celebrated an anniversary with my lovely wife Andrea. Keith: Hey, the other thing I want to tell you, Nehemia, not only is it your birthday.
#Iword to say when you pay respect to chinese altar movie
Nehemia: You know that every time you should do that song in a movie they have to pay $10,000 to Disney or something insane like that. Nehemia: No, actually that belongs to Disney. Keith: No, it’s over a hundred years you can do it. Nehemia: Oh, that’s copy-written, so we’re going to edit that out! Keith: Folks, he thinks we’re going to get into the business without singing – Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you… It’s well-meaning scribes who thought they were fixing something and end up messing it up. Now, she was able to call us up on the phone or send an email and say, “What’s really your birthday?” But the scribes are sitting there by candlelight, by the oil lamp, in the dark, in the wet, in the cold, and they say, “Oh, that can’t be what it says.” And that’s how you end up with a lot of these errors in some of the ancient manuscripts. I’ve got to correct it.” And so they would, air quotes - I’m doing air quotes, people - they would air quote, “correct” it, and really what they’d end up doing is introducing an error. No, it’s obviously some kind of typo, that somebody made a mistake.”Īnd it’s really interesting, it made me think about how scribes, the ancient scribes, would come across the text, and it would say something and they’d be like, “Well, no that’s not what it’s supposed to say. There are eight, nine people, three have the same birthday! And they’re different ages and different years. And she said, “No, this has to be a mistake. Nehemia: And in fact, the Chinese person who was doing the paperwork, applying for all the visas, she was filling out all the forms, and one of the questions on the visa form is your birthday. Nehemia: My last birthday, I was in China and there were nine foreign teachers there and three of the foreign teachers have the same birthday, my birthday. Why don’t you give us a good old birthday greeting here? I’d like to say happy birthday to both of you. It is your birthday, and in fact, Nehemia your birthday falls on the same day as my oldest son Taylor’s birthday. But I’m with my special friend Nehemia Gordon. We’re looking at Prophet Pearls, finding pearls for you. Keith: Shalom chaverim shelanu! What? That’s not going to work for this one, Nehemia, because I’m not going to do the regular greeting, and here’s why. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. You are listening to Prophet Pearls with Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson. Prophet Pearls #6 - Toldot (Malachi 1:1-2:7)
