Sandals - The Video Bible Dictionary

Disclaimer: This is our first run at the Video Bible Dictionary, we'd love your feedback, so please leave a comment. There are so many different types and shapes of sandals it was hard to pick just one, so accept this video as just one type of sandal worn by Daniel, our guy in Nazareth. This was filmed on location in Israel. Actor - Daniel Camera - Richie Savo Narrator - Mark Murfitt Editor - Jonnie Conibeer Produced, Directed - Mark Murfitt Transcript: "Sandals. People wear sandals on their feet. People wear sandals made of wood, palm bark or leather. Sandals are fixed to the foot with leather straps. People wear sandals to protect their feet on a journey. When people have walked a long way, you will see that their sandals look worn. In the Bible, people took their sandals off before entering a house as a sign of respect. Jesus wore sandals. In the Bible, Jesus tells the disciples to wear sandals on their feet for their journey." ------------- What is the Video Bible Dictionary? How do you explain what a desert wilderness is to someone who’s only ever lived in a jungle? Or how can a person understand what a winnowing fork is when they’ve never seen one? The Video Bible Dictionary is an ambitious project to film items, objects and places mentioned in the Bible which will be collated into a single resource (a dictionary of sorts) to help people understand and read the Bible; basically what the things and places in the Bible really look like. Who’s it for? The primary audience is for Oral Preference Learners, however everyone and anyone will benefit from a more literal understanding of actual places and items from the Bible. What’s an Oral Preference Learner? A person who prefers to listen, learn and pass on information orally rather than through reading (most of us, right?). This ‘person’ finds context critical in understanding the world around them, hence every video in the Video Bible Dictionary will show the item, object and place in context of a person. By way of an example; do you remember those old school textbooks which showed a silhouette of a dinosaur with a silhouette of a person standing next to them? It gave you an understanding of how big the dinosaur was compared to a person, right? This is the same thing. Why do this? The Video Bible Dictionary is part of a larger project to provide a resource to support the local church around the world as they teach and share Jesus with those who have yet to hear about Him. Who do you work for? This project is being produced by SRV in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators and ETEN (short for ‘Every Tribe Every Nation’). Who am I? My name is Mark Murfitt, I live in the UK and it’s my privilege to produce and direct these videos as well as to oversee the script writing and media production for this project. Is something like this really necessary? Absolutely. For many people, in both developed and developing countries, much of what we’re videoing isn’t known, understood or believed to actually be real. Is this work copyright protected? No. If you want it, please copy it. You can reproduce it and redistribute it, you don’t have to ask for permission or give notice (some of the music is copyright protected, but most of it isn’t. A non musical one can be requested :) The only condition is that you don’t sell it or claim yourself as the owner/creator of the original material. Other than that, you’re free to use it as you wish. There may be other scriptures where this item, object or place is featured, this isn't and shouldn't be used as an exclusive list
