"The Lion Shall Lie Down With the Lamb" Is Not What Isaiah Wrote

Everyone can quote it. Almost nobody has read it. The line about the lion and the lamb is one of the most repeated sentences in Christian culture — and it appears nowhere in the Bible. What Isaiah actually wrote is stranger, harder, and far more powerful than the version that replaced it. In this video, we trace the sentence forward through six centuries of transmission — from an eighth-century Hebrew scroll written under Assyrian occupation, through the Greek translators of Alexandria, to a Quaker sign painter in Pennsylvania who painted the scene more than sixty times and quietly fixed the mistake in the popular imagination forever. 📖 Scripture Unpacked breaks down every book, character, and mystery of the Bible in a way that's deep, clear, and visual. ⚠️ This content uses AI-generated illustrations and narration for educational purposes.
