Special: Samson is A SATIRE IN THE BIBLE!

from A Podcast of Biblical Proportions · host Gil Kidron

It turns out that if you read the Samson story (Judges 13-16) in Hebrew with comedic glasses - you realize it is an outrageously funny Greek satire that parodies biblical heroes and tropes, most likely written by Alexandrian Hellenistic Hebrews around the 200s BCE as a Hebrew version of Greek satire. No joke. Gil and Omri discuss. Support the podcast on https://www.patreon.com/biblicalproportions Support our podcast on Patreon! Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
