william bradford himself learned hebrew in his later life. and there's a chapter which deals with all of this in the context of the voyage of the mayflower herself. ainsworth was fascinated by the jewish scriptures because he believed that the bible was a dense, multilayered book in -- the bible was a very dense, multilayered book in which everything related to everything else. he believed the jewish rabbis who had expounded this best. and so, if we look at this particular verse that has -- that we just discussed, verses 22, chapter 13 from the book of exodus. what they said did what he said is this, first of all he sent a cloud according to the jewish rabbis come a cloud was always seen as a token of god's presence. a cloud was something which denoted mystery but also revelation at the same time. he pointed out the fact that when god delivered the 10 commandments to moses seated so that she did so out of cloud. most important of all, he said that the pillar of cloud represented jesus christ. he says in chapter four, he says the pillar of clo

my search took me to william bradford's marvelous book a plymouth plantation which he was the longtime governor of plymouth plantation. he wrote a wonderful book about the plymouth journey from england to holland and the mayflower to the new world. and and then the first few decades here. so i got interested in the subject and like many journalist i approached it from a journalist point of view and started to find out more about it. because i was in the happy position of the senior editor at the wall street journal i could indulge my interest by writing an occasional article on thanksgiving which i did. but when i retired from the journal and after writing the book on north korea i decided to turn again to thanksgiving. i realize that thanksgiving in my interest in the subject really covered many of the same things in the big issues i had at the wall street journal. i was able to look at my interest in politics and economics. and in american culture, everything except for foreign affairs. i see this book as a totality of of a lot of what i learnt over my career. >> it's also very ameri

one of the artifacts that blew me away was william bradford's bible. it's on display there. it's a geneva translation of the bible, which predated the king james version. and the pilgrims believed this was a more authentic translation than ones the follow. they were great hebrew scholars by the way. william later taught hebrew so he could read the first books of the bible of the old testament in the original language, the language that god gave. >> i'm glad that we turned to religion because many things in the book, religion seems to me the strongest theme and the holiday is fused with religious meaning. does that derif -- derive from europe or come from a particular place? >> as i learned the idea of celebrating a thanksgiving was a judeo christian tradition. hope i'm pronouncing that correctly. you don't really know but protestants denominations and catholics celebrated in the old world. in the pilgrims case they did have thanksgiving days and usually but the association were for specific such as rainfall to harvest or a military victory or, you know, good health. so later
