Shmorg 2: Animals in the Tanach

we're now going to focus on actual items that the museum has that has to do with things from the time of the Mishnah the end of my ishe knee to the beginning of the Mishnah and these things I mentioned in the Mishnah in some four or another or the key mark will expound on something from the Mishnah and it's from that time let us begin with something very basic the Gemara tells us that there were two ways of making the inion of taking chemin hamesha and doing the chemin de Mishka and the emotion and actually anointing amela a king or a crane Gullah so the Gemara tells us and Rashi brings this in hunch that there was something called human Kiev on us like a Greek key letter key people learned this Gemara they have no idea what a Kiev honest means then so a car gobbled there were moisture like a key of honest people hazard these words and they have no idea what they're saying and then the Gemara says also that there was another way of the making chemin hamesha and that was for a mint what was a mela kimi nazar like a diatom what does this mean do you people learn scheme Merriman office and they have no idea what the Gemara is talking about what I'm about to do is to show you a coin minted in the time of the second base of English my hardest King Herod the Great that shows both ways of making the shemitah' Mischka as discussed in the Kumari Kim in Kiev on us is what we call an English annex Kimmy laser was like putting it on the outline to die of the person's head hoarders killed out multiple Sahaj manner of the Maccabees and their whole dynasty of kings and he wanted a show to elope as if he is a continuation and he has the right of being king and even has the right of being like a claim go so what did hoarders do heard this minted a coin and we have an original point from Hortis that depicts both ways of making shaman hamesha and you will see like an X in the middle of the coin and you will also see around like the side of a head and these are the two ways that the Gemara and monopolist explains Kim in Kiev honest and Kim in Mason the other side of this coin has a picture of a table now this table is very very important because on Chartres Titus in Rome it shows a similar picture of a table and we believe that that table was they left him upon so you're looking at a coin into two thousand one hundred years ago that has the picture of both ways of making chemin hamesha Kim in Kiev honest and Kim in nazar as the Gemara and manavas describes so here again you see an item that is mentioned in the mission and in the gamma it's mentioned by the Greek name Kim in Kiev honest and you can see it here in our museum exactly what the coin is taught let me show you another example the Gemara tells us that a site was given to drink the meinheimer re from a failing shockers the word failure spell pay you dude Lama you'd fail II was a Greek word the Gemara is using the this Kaylie is called in creep affion it was a drinking book they had a bump in the middle you took two fingers put her here and you use it to drink and this is a fairly show face and the Gemara says a sight - was given to drink - my mom hardened from a fetish of hurts now why did he use a fairly shook house Paris was considerate clean walls Kaleigh that was disgusting who use cares the poor person so it says in the marriage that when she was over nivara she used gold and silver kalin and now she had to use the Paris a king or a minister would use Mela for a mocha would use a gold or silver failing or gold a silver Fiat person who was the poor person if you wanted to use it would use one of hers here you can see in fact Rashi Commish tells us that the Tsar I'm askin gave to dream power a people make this mistake they think he gave him to drink in a case now she says failing pay you Rashi and Hamish uses the Greek name so I'm showing you a lot of names and words that the mission of the Gomorrah uses like today if you spoke Yiddish you would say corner refrigerated air conditioner the mission of the Gemara were using memes that was common at that specific time I'm going to show you another example that is also very significant in our understanding of mich missing immersed and you need to see them in seas of what is fun not only that we have by the way a failure of Paris we even have something a failure of glass it has the same bump that you would put in the middle and this is covered of glass now glass was considered very cautioned very very expensive eeeh of compares glass to gold lorry re Kanazawa whose photos he puts glass and gold in the same sentence this particular Kayle is very valuable why because glass when it sits over time sometimes develops what's called an iridescent this film white looking film over it and just like if you have an a Lula with mother it's considered a hush of a little little bit all the the brown things hanging off it in antiquities if you have a glass vessel with this kind of iridescent growing on it is considered the most hush of a type of glass of the ancient world and this is a Caylee of faily shells hookless and this was a very expensive Caylee in the ancient world another very valuable glass item was this little pot this little vessel for oil and for very expensive oil and this path is important because it's similar to the picture of the pemon on the coins of Shimon bar cava and we've already spoken about the other path that we have in the museum made of Paris but this was a glass miniature kind of path Cayley made out of glass at that time now each country make a limb in different styles and when previously we have discussed different styles of Kaylyn from the different periods which had a specific style the Yvonne in Baku had their own style kick just like I showed the failing and we show the different things they would actually take pottery and paint very intricate pictures on the pattern and here are broken fragments of Greek vases of Greek pottery items that are very beautiful designs and afterwards they would put it in a kitchen chelate and they would fire it and by putting it in a kitchen salvation firing it you would stay even over a long curve but hey you can see some of the details and this little piece of pottery of lines of very detailed drawing pictures that have survived to a thousand years when it came to the base of English we have spoken previously about Kahlan for oil but what did the Caleb for example to keep missile hiding what did Caleb for wine look like so they had in the ancient world a cod acabas these are Caleb mentioned in the Mishnah Gemara and later in our massage this caliber we will show what an actual cod looks like but an actual Club is looked like but the base makers also had a Kaylie for wine that we know very specifically Shipman bar cava minted a coin and here is a picture of a very valuable this coin shows a picture of a Kaylie that the Greeks called a Hydra hydr a Hydra who was a Kaylie for wine and we know its name and Greek and we also know that Bar Kokhba minted this on his corner then we know that this was a Kaylie used for one and this is also very significant because the hidden minted different coins but they also made oil apps and in a 2000 year old oil lamp that we have here the museum we have became an oil app that has a picture of the same type of Kayleigh right here at the center and this is an actual oil lamp depicting the Kayleigh for wine that matches the one on the coin of Shimon bar cava and it shows the kind of Kayleigh for wine that would have been used in the basement as we know with every single carbon that you brought in the base of main dish you have to donate it a certain amount of wine for example we learn about Revere's high-end black canvas haha we say it in nómine every single day now what I'm about to show you is something which I consider truly amazing the word hing that the tire uses is a word that's found in Egyptian hieroglyphics and was a measurement in Egyptian hieroglyphics I am now going to show you an egyptian hieroglyphics dictionary and in this hieroglyphics dictionary there is a section of the dictionary that shows different words found in Hebrew found in ancient hieroglyphics and what word do you find in hieroglyphics the word hint the word hint and this is very significant because we know today what the Egyptians called a him it was a certain measurement vessel and just yesterday I bought a collection of antiques and one of the collection items that I bought is something I've been looking for for years it's an actual Cayley that the Egyptians called a him so the whole must like is between the Hasan Ishaaq I know about the shuran of the different one an eighth foot is and what a him is and what the sizes is I would like to show you and in the Egyptian hieroglyphics dictionary at the same word that we have a farm is right here so here you've just seen the measurement of a hint reveals a him a full and part of the collection I thought was a Cayley and one of the main reasons I bought this collection was just to be able to get this Cayley which is a ceilidh that David's reham called the him so just like when the Gemara says Bailey and it's in Greek Viale and just like when the Gemara will use a term and it means something in Greek Kim in Kiev us we now know what the myth dream called the share of a hint and what it measures now because I have tremendous respect both for because on ish and both for nope I know and I don't want to get myself the middle of this muhfuckas I am NOT going to disclose which of the two she urine is actually fixing Egyptian matter but for those people who are interested in this subject who would like to come to the museum and study these items and then look up in the smart to see what they both wrote about this you can figure out and come to you own conclusion about which of the two sheet this fits in with these two and a half thousand year-old Kaelin that the midstream call that a feh and the material called a Hin and you could decide that for yourself just like in bhava is the share of a base court mentioned the Gemara the share of a core was a Babylonian measure it was a measure above we have in the museum a star a contract that says seven core of barley the ship in the base quarter well Schleicher mommy miss Erin the share of a mother was a share above oh and this was very important the Babylonians the people of Allah had a share called Amina Mima the share of a mana we have a contract in the museum that actually mentions three Meena three month of a certain plant that one person are selling to the other so the fact that we know pennies nickels dimes dollars pounds and ounces are the same today as we use in English as you would use it today in fact the word Alice comes from the Roman Latin word uncia uncia spelled you and CI a and that's the Roman Latin word is onceá and in the English today the word is ass so the idea of atha him as I just showed you the same word was in Mithras and we know the measurement in mitzvos of these things and we know the exact meaning of it and therefore these are now becoming very very important because they show us the sizes and this year that we learn about let's use now another example for example we know that it was a Kaylie mentioned a Miss Africa's pirate parrot base cool the color poof loud lament so the Mishna says what was the color allah was used to store the ashes peridot and that's what they would store the ashes of the Parliament and the Michelin para explains how they would take out their ashes in a way that they shouldn't make it Tom main there's a whole discussion about them when the shekel hakodesh and the Masters her shekel were made what's very very fascinating is that on the Marxist hishaku there is a picture of a Kaylie called the column and right now I'm going to show you a master special newsman bias training with a picture of a column on it here is an actual mast is a second at the center of the coin is a picture of this Kaylie called the column and this was a called in English a chalice and it was a very common Cayley at that time like you would say a large drinking cup of today this right over here is an actual chalice this is not from the base of English but its shape and its design matches the one on the coin and they had variations of this Kaylie some they would paint with beautiful designs and then put it in a kitchen chelation and then fired this is a very beautiful one this one right over here is a little narrower and you could see some of the red paint that was painted onto it before he was put in a kitchen chelation and this was fired and the color stayed because in being in the kitchen chelation it protected and stayed in its thing so here's an example of a regular household utensil they had the same shape as a call-out and sometimes these are also referred to in tonight as a coup bas goof ball vase I saw and this becomes very very important in the half tires that we read in this nefarious about the punishment that a sham will bring in the game oppa Rani we say the Amos is gonna fill up a kuba a squeeze hot Arella this is also referred to in tonight as a coup bass and these two have very very big parties some people would also use it as drinking the age success and the Navi warns ministre that if Benes role will not stop being or even every desire hashem will fill up a kuba Asko saturated and here you can see so this was a commonly used item in that time which is similar in nature to the color which is depicted on the Masters hishaku and the shekel heritage from the time of the second base mission and the mission and peripera based mentions this type of life another very interesting thing that people used to do just like today if you buy something a safer a book you rank your name on the safer these to make a harvest or a card of wine they would have Kahlan with people's names up this right here is a Greek jar hand and this is an inscription in yavanas in Greek on it the name of this person was Asano's that was his name and here is the name as it's written in its Greek letters and this was considered a Simenon a Kayle the person had his name on a Caleb so sometimes the Gemara will discuss and talk about if there is a simin then indebted and you have to be mattress if it's no simin sometimes they would make a mark and sometimes they would actually put their name on a specific hit another very very interesting thing that we also have is just like I showed you an oil lamp that had a picture of the califa wine that matches the coin that Shimon bar cava minted that shows a Kayle of wine we also there is another coin Shuman Barca that has a picture on one side of the front of the basin McNish and now the other side has a lool of an asterisk and it says inside livering the old he prescription might not see you strong this is one of the best ones in the world showing the coin on both sides now what's very fascinating if you look closely at the K shuttle on this little of you're going to see that there's an ice rink there's a loo love to our Rovers and a lot of Hadassah you can see the details of the law a tremendous amount of fantasy [Applause] it shows us how they were making their cash shuttle on their lulav and it also shows us something else that's important how bad uses 53 Hadassah because in the Zoya it says gun and the ticking of head eight sad-ass is the union of gun of the you know 53 Hadassah there is a math Lucas if the eights had us was an Esther ik or an apple so one of the tickin that Isaiah writes is to use that minam is a ticking on the eights and us so here you see that this new mimic of taking 53 Hadassah or a lot of Hadassah can even be seen on the coin of chemin Barca furthermore the other side that has a picture of the front of the base of English which we previously discussed we also have an oil and it has a picture of the columns the front of the base Manglish which matches the coin of Shivan Barca and this is a very very rare Jewish oil lamp that has the same image of the front of the base of English that can be seen with the columns here as well and this black is from being lit 2,000 years ago you could see one two three four five nozzle oil lamp you could put five sealers in the same oil line just like it says stay pure solution a burning of them this was an oil lamp you could put five POS five edges in this boiler it has a ring so that you can hold it or if you were walking like you have a flashlight this was how people would walk and carry their oil lamps and what's unique is that it still has its original handle intact oil lamps were interesting because every mela every Kingdom made its own style oil lamp and in fact you're a see fun Josephus writes about this the Harshman oil the Maccabees had a very unique style oiler they made a whole montage type of oil lamp their oil lamp look like a hamantaschen that's what you a seafood rights and right here is a 2000 year old hashman a Maccabee an oil lamp and even scientist today still refer to this style oil and as the Makah bean the hash monoi oil and the oil would go here the cielo the weight would go here and this is called a Maccabee and style oil hardness King Herod the Great made his own style of oil lamp and this is called a Herodian oil on an oil lamp from the style of harness and every king wanted to make a certain style so that even years later they would be remembered for their style just like today we have Italian style furniture colonial American style each one has its own style these kingdoms would make their own style as well and going back to that de Vaughn in the Greeks made also a certain painted star and this was considered a footed Bowl like a little serving plate but a beautiful Greek design painted and these circular type of things was made by the avant degrees now the Mishnah discusses this kind of Kayle this Kayle has a stand what happens if you turn it over you could put something in here as well is it considered a base kibble on the bottom piece also and sometimes you have the title of the Kaley the god of the Kaling all the different collagen that I discussed the Domitian ur you can see it here as well what the Mishnah is talking about so these items represent very specific styles styles common in the time of ended by a trainee and the Mishnah and the Gemara mentions many of these things and you can see here in our museum one of the things that has all mentioned was called a glue skimmer what was it glue skimmer so the Gemara says that a merchant assaulted her with just like you have a trunk today oh good take his glue glue schema from town to town and he would fill it up if he was a mother of spices he would fill up his spices he would come to the middle of the marketplace he would open up his go schema and he would sell his merchandise these were called glue schemas there were two types of glue schemas one was a glue schema that was for burial purposes that they used to bury people this is not that kind of glue schema those were very small and they would make them the size of the bone of the largest bone of the person's body no one made very very small then the wood the glow skin moist at the Jumeirah refers to that were made for a sovereign for a person who was selling and these were these very large like you have a trunk today this was your box this particular one is fascinating beautifully carved and right over here at the top corner it says in Greek letters in you bonus we were just talking about Greek it says your ceii phone Josephus merchant of spices cycler of spices this is not your EC phone who wrote the history of Eden this is a person who wrote and made a simin on his Kaling yoseef merchants of spices so exactly what has all tell us that the people used to go from one market place to the other market place and sell their merchandise and open up their glue schema and sell directly out of it and they could this is exactly this is a two thousand one hundred year old GU schema with the Greek inscription and this is a fascinating thing because you see the detail of the designs that were carved in here how it was beautifully done and with the name of the person this right here is another Greek Kayle painted beautifully with some of the original design that still could be seen here and this again was the style that the Avani of the Greeks would use and that was a very specific style known and used by the bonhomie the Greeks at that specific time one of the things we learn about in close mossad did talk I say about sit and you're gonna put plaster and plaster just as we plaster walls today we're very commonly done in the ancient world this was found in Masada it's a piece of wall piece of plaster the paint and the design is already gone but this is a 2000 year old piece of city of plaster and this is from one of the walls of the palace of Masada another very very important thing is the Amaro always talks about Americans a bathhouse just like the bathrooms of your house have tiles tiles in bathtubs and basements in bath houses became very very common here is a piece of an actual house with the rows of tiles and this is very very important this was coming from Masada as well we also have from the city of Caesarea the city Werribee Akiva was killed these are actual tiles from the bath house that was found in Caesarea a person by the name of dubbin Hirsch who's about Shiva today in the 1970s was in Caesarea and he found these bath hot bath tiles from a bath house and he donated it here from his from Los Angeles California he donated it to the museum and we also have a few loose tiles of different colors and there are also bath tiles so the same concept of you have a bathtub with tiles in your bathroom and Cole father's officer Sherman they had tiles and they had bath houses Basava tires if I said they had plaster the same things they had in the ancient world as well just as you have today big columns on Moodle and beautiful capitals this is carved out of stone and right here is an actual beautiful piece of stone this right here is a beautiful piece of column on the top of the column was the Capitol and you could see the beautiful designs that are carved out of a single piece of limestone a single piece of limestone this whole beautiful design and it weighs quite a bit this is a small color one of the most amazing things you will see here in the museum is something that's very very touching when Titas came to destroy the second base of English yes Seaford tells us that he came with the 10th Legion of the that Santelli gone from their own chamois in America when we talk about the American army we talk about the American legions in fact I have a branch of our museum in the Catskills in Fallsburg New York and the building which we bought for the museum used to be called the American Legion building in Cazale they're called luxurious dish above in nothing we talk about the league yarnís the Roman soldiers the Roman legions and yes even tells us that which group of soldiers came to destroy the base of English that sent the league on the 10th Legion of the Roman IV nine years ago they were building a parking lot in your eye and they found the military headquarters of Titus and one of the things they found are 1200 of these bricks then I'm every single brick there is an inscription it says on it l e G Leakey on x10 F our friend this aroma from the Roman army like you would write a property of the United States Army hundred and second Airborne Division this says l EG lee geon X 10 Francis Robert you're looking at a piece of brick that was once part of the military headquarters of Titas exactly as its described in your ceii phone they were the group of soldiers that destroyed the second listen not only do we have that but the most fascinating thing that you will see in this particular tape today in this particular shear has to do with the basin English we know that everything of the base of me - was considered Cornish but one of the things we also know as the Gemara - tuffnut tells us that when the a bush - when - destroyed the base Ming - he was Masonic the kedusha away from and just as we know that I eat is allowed to take money humor as a question a lot of gold and soldier of the bitumen - was taken away by the Romans and not only was it taken away we're not talking about Caleb we're talking about money from delicious living horses so the Gemara says that had Rihanna and Trey on Malta Hadrian and Trajan melted down money silver of the best vanish and they made coins out of it and in a special tape which were about to make on the ancient currency and coins of the ancient world you will see some of these coins that were minted down from the silver and goal of the distinguished and there's nothing condition so the Chimera says Omar a pnina of Hanina says they wanted big shoe league Nerys called Casa Rosada bottom they wanted to put away all the gold and silver of the world I should not sue until they found the plastic ear Haskell that the ambush - was masala - kedusha and then the came so therefore even for a pigeon abanda governor says you're allowed to use gold and silver coins that Haryana century animal committed because there's nothing condition and even that's hard and there's no yes sir I'm cold and soul the chimera concludes and around on past instance Allah Allah that something that was broken from this minish has not been conditioned because the condition was this topic when that talk about a whole Kaylee we're talking about a broken piece of something now if you go to the castle today you will see that there were stones all have a border around it is the middle of the stone and then there's like a design all around the stone that hardness can Herod the Great built I think Amara tells us why hardness originally wanted to put gold all around the center should be rocked and decides he should be all the gold he never completed that so therefore a broken piece doesn't have a conditioner and this is what all durable who are involved with our Museum basket and that's where the straw Belski of David Cohen because the rod AB in Milan dough all have gone through this specific Indian what I'm about to show you is just like you have the coil the coil is not the wall at the base mesh man should matter to us they make a mistake you think it's the wall of this match it was the wall around Hera base and each stone had this design that hardness made on the border around the stone this comes and was found in your shall I it's a broken piece niched of the castle Hama Ruby not of the western wall but of the southern wall and you can see the same style stone and you can see the design the piece of wearing this border would come from and this is the piece that the Chimera so they wanted to put gold all around and you can see the border what's very interesting about limestone is the base weakness was made out of these have on him and these what was a limestone it was a very beautiful stone and was easy to carve and also limestone was a very combustion of Allah stone it would it would burn very easily yes even tells us that when Titas came to destroy his minish he took a hookah shell H torches afire and they stuck the fire between the stones the stalls got very hot and they were literally exploding jumping off the walls because limestone is a combustion of stone what's very unique about this stone is I'm going to show you the back of the stone you can see the burn marks in the stone and the bubbling that happens when something starts burning and bubbling it gets burn marks and it bubbles from the heat and all along here you can see the bubbling and the burn marks in the stone and you're looking at a stone that burnt on Tisha buff in your line all along here you can see that actual burn marks in the storm so you're looking at a stone that burnt on Tisha buff in your life and this is one of the most emotional pieces that we have here in the museum and there's no than kedusha for it and it is amazing to see an actual stone that's not from the base--emitter itself it's seven the wall around Hera bias the southern wall and there's no than condition as the Gemara blurs the phenomenon of clearly explain us when I told Khomeini amat sham I came to power in Iran three you are ready to die a mysterious nefesh to save this bowl what is this bowl and what is so important about 200 years ago as Oba Schmidt a silversmith living in Iran went by and saw the ancient palace of Kurush the ancient Palace of Cyrus the Great and he saw a wall that shows how they didn't come to Clara Sh that you can come to Cyrus and ask permission to build by a Shanee and not only this Kurdish give them permission he gives them Midland it gives them supplies to which to go on Bill Beijing being the silversmith this year in Iran spent six months making the silver bowl and carving a copy on this silver bowl of the entire wall of the palace of Kurdish showing the hidden coming to Kirsch for asking permission to build by a Shanee and not only discouraged give them permission Kurdish gives them supplies to go build Beijing the story ends at the base with the soldiers of Kirsch marching with supplies to throw and build by a Shanee I'm going to show you a few details
