Micah 3 contains a passage that challenges hypocritical prophets. The Hebrew language of this chapter is biting and intense. What follows this section of judgment is an unexpected message hope. Micah 3-4 is a great section of the prophets that illustrates two important themes of the prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Matthew (M.A. Biblical Literature and Semitic Languages) breaks down these chapters and does an analysis of some of the interesting Hebrew insights in these chapters. 0:27-1:19: Intro1:20-2:54: Challenges with Prophets2:55-6:40: Two Sides of the Coin: Judgment and Hope6:41-9:46: Etched in Stone or Written in Pencil?9:47-11:38: Micah 3 Intro11:39-13:17: Prophets for Hire in HB and Mari13:18-16:48: Serpent Seers: Hebrew Language Insight16:49-20:47: Humiliation of the Hypocrites: Hebrew Language Insight20:48-22:33: Remember who has the answer: Akkadian Language Insight22:34-25:06: A Prophet filled with Power25:07-28:25: Micah 4 and Hope28:26-29:44: ConclusionJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsWHERE TO FIND USSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDAWebsite: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com
