Was Rebecca 3?

Summary

The video responds to comparisons between Aisha’s age and claims that Rebecca was three years old when she married Isaac. The narrator says the Bible does not explicitly state Rebecca’s age; the age of three comes from a later rabbinic calculation associated with Rashi, based on the ages and chronology given for Sarah and Isaac in Genesis.

The narrator questions whether a three-year-old could have performed the tasks described in Genesis 24, such as drawing water and watering Abraham’s camels. They note that the passage does not specify how much water Rebecca drew or how long the task took, and argue that Christians who believe in miracles cannot dismiss the possibility on practical grounds alone.

The video also cites rabbinic discussions concerning sexual intercourse with a girl aged three years and one day. The narrator says Christians should not present the later calculation about Rebecca as an explicit biblical statement. They then invoke Matthew 23:2–3, interpreting it as Jesus instructing people to follow the scribes and Pharisees, to make a polemical accusation about Christian theology.

The video ends with a request for donations to a Gaza-related charity. The subtitles mention both the Malala Fund and Molotov Ummah.
