What is the voice of God and how does this impact the revelation of God? The Hebrew word קול can mean sound, voice, and even thunder. We trace this word through important stories in the Hebrew Bible to see what we can learn about God from this.
What does קול mean in Genesis? What sound of God did Adam and Eve hear in the Garden of Eden? What does it mean that God walked in the “cool of the day”? What type of sound did they hear? His voice? A different kind of sound? The thunder of the storm of God? What did Israel hear at Mount Sinai? Thunder or the voice of God? The sound of a storm or words?
Our discussion takes us through a close reading of the Hebrew of a number of texts in Genesis, Samuel, Job, Exodus, and more.
0:00-1:42 Introduction
1:43-14:07 The “sound” of God in the Garden of Eden
14:08-18:42 The “sound” of God in a battle with King David

20:02-34:46 Did Israel hear thunder or a voice at Mount Sinai? Comparing the accounts of Exodus and Deuteronomy
34:47-41:38 Thunder or heavenly voice in John?
