Giday, I'm Gary Stevens.

And welcome to the third season of the History in the Bible podcast.

In this final season, I explore how the Jews and the Christians constructed new religions when they were sent

spinning into the void after the destruction of the temple. All of the history, about all of the

books beyond the Bible. Gooday. I'm Gary Stevens from the History in the Bible podcast.

Hi Gary. I'm Gil Kidron.

And we're here today to talk about Gil's hypothesis, hypotheses about the first books in the Bible

and in particular Genesis,

and his ideas about Prophet Jeremiah and his faithful scribe Beruk, Nairia.

Have I got that right?

Ben Niria, son of Niria.

Just before we start, Gary, I think these are times of more clarity.

So I would like just, I know we feel the same way,

to just express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine, wherever they are.

Yes. As we recall this, this is the 10th day of the invasion of the sovereign state of Ukraine

and things aren't going, really. And sometimes it seems like we're standing on the cusp of

nuclear. So we're both pretty depressed. Maybe by the time you hear this, everything will be

just fine and dandy and we'll all be looking for unicorns and rainbows. In the afterlife.

In the world to come, yes.

Yes.

We'll go into detail later in the conversation, but just to people know what we're talking

about.
