The above AI Study Guides and AI-Generated Dialogic Podcast Summary were produced using Google’s NotebookLM (an incredible AI tool).  This is just a warning sometimes/seldom AI at this stage has “hallucinations” (i.e. it just makes stuff up).  So, listen to the full lecture so you will be able to catch these “hallucinations” when they occur.

Disclaimer:  In order to get the English text, the audio was run through Speech-to-Text software (hence there may be errors). I checked the English, but the truth is I’m an inept editor (hence there may be errors). It was then translated by Google Translate (hence there may be errors).  Hopefully, while not perfect, it will be good enough to be helpful.  Text-to-Speech AI will be the next step in a few months. Thanks for putting up with my limitations, but I hope that this will open up the Old Testament to other languages and cultural contexts.
