..the wool from the linen,
the Sabbath from the week,...
1:00:04
..the Jew from the gentile.
1:00:06
lt's as if one little scrap of this
is gonna completely contaminate that.
1:00:11
Who gets contaminated?
The Jews or the gentiles?
1:00:16
lt's a good question.
1:00:19
How come there's no punctuation?
1:00:24
That was a later invention and...
1:00:26
..Jews don't really need it, because
they know the whole thing by heart.
1:00:31
Every word and every letter.
1:00:33
Do you know it like that? By heart?
1:00:37
No.
1:00:38
But you can read it, right?
1:00:41
The Hebrew.
1:00:43
- What do you care?
- Because l wanna know.
1:00:48
- What's this word?
- Don't touch it. Um,...
1:00:51
That's uh,...
1:00:54
''Va'yomer... ''
1:00:58
''And he said...''
1:01:00
What did he say?
1:01:05
''Va'yomer Adonai I'Avram...
1:01:09
..Iech Iecha meartzecha u'mimoIadetcha...
1:01:12
..umibet avicha eI ha'aretz asher...
1:01:15
..arecha. ''
1:01:18
What does it mean?
1:01:22
''And God said to Avram,...
1:01:24
..take yourself away from your land,...
1:01:26
..away from the place you were born,
away from your father's house,...
1:01:30
(sighs) ..and go to a new land,...
1:01:32
..a place that l will show you.''
1:01:37
l want you to teach it to me.
1:01:41
Why?
1:01:44
Know your enemy.
1:01:47
Because it's a basic text of Western culture
and l wanna read it in the original.
1:01:52
- OK?
- Listen, it's extremely difficult.
1:01:56
lt'll take you years to learn it.
1:01:57
l'm good at languages.
