| 0:00.0 | Merkel Media. Who are the Adni Hesidae, the Jewish humanoid plant monsters. So this is a very |
| 0:13.6 | interesting one for me. I was looking through some other interesting creatures that are in apocryphal text and many other texts. |
| 0:24.5 | And I happened to run across these guys. |
| 0:27.0 | And I said, man, I've got to do something on these guys. |
| 0:31.0 | So Adni Hassade, which is A-D-N-E-I-H-A-S-A-D-E-H means human-like wild creatures, and it's a legendary creature that shows up |
| 0:44.1 | in many ancient Jewish texts, which will go through those Jewish texts today. |
| 0:47.9 | As a matter of fact, we're going to look to the Bible as well. |
| 0:50.6 | So these creatures apparently show up in the Bible as well in a couple of places. |
| 0:56.1 | So we will go through that thoroughly. |
| 0:58.5 | Now the word adni is a variation of the word admi, which means men of, while Hasade means the field. |

| 1:33.1 | for the most part, absolutely not when we get into the actual construct of what these Adni |
| 1:39.2 | Hasade actually are. But this is where you'll get some of this. As a matter of fact, in Job 523, where these |
| 1:46.5 | Adni Hasade apparently show up, and I'll show you how it actually equates to wild animals. |
| 1:52.7 | But you'll see as we start going through this that their actual biological makeup from these |
| 1:59.7 | ancient Jewish texts, they don't seem anything like a |
| 2:03.4 | Bigfoot or a wild man, but they do get grouped into them because of some of these translations. |
| 2:10.1 | Now, the name Adnihasaide translates as man of the field, and in some Jewish sources, |
| 2:15.3 | they're actually called the Yaddua or the Yadoni. Now, the Yadua first |
| 2:19.7 | show up with a Shababababh A.e. bin Yosef Bas, and he was the founder of Jewish bibliography, |
