Divine Knowledge In The Torah: CPR and Tracheotomy. (3 minutes)
Full Movie: TORAH, SCIENCE & ANCIENT WISDOM (PART 2) The Movie By BeEzrat HaShem (21 Minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sQu-zK5xuE Rabbi Yaron Reuven explains the divine knowledge present in the Torah regarding CPR and tracheotomy. He highlights that CPR, a revolutionary medical advancement discovered in 1962, is described in the Torah nearly 2,000 years ago. The story of the spies in the land of Canaan mentions the Giants' loud scream that caused everyone to faint. To revive them, the spies used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which is similar to CPR. Rabbi Reuven further states that tracheotomy, a procedure discovered 200 years ago, also has roots in ancient texts. The Torah mentions two midwives, Shifrah and Puah, who assisted in the birth of Jewish babies. Rabbi Reuven explains that the name Shifrah comes from the Hebrew word "shafa," meaning "to breathe." This suggests that Shifrah used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to revive newborns who were not breathing.

1:13This Chazal is telling us that when they saw the giants, the giants also saw them and they screamed such a loud scream that everyone passed out. Everyone passed out. Then it says that what they ended up doing is they came up to the Meraglim and they gave them something they called mouth-to-mouth in order to breathe back air into their mouths to revive them. I think that's also called CPR. About 200 years ago, they discovered a way to revive someone who had lost their breath and needed to be stimulated in order to breathe by putting a tube through their throat. This was revolutionary at that time. The Baal HaTurim, one of the major sages, wrote about this approximately 700 years ago.
2:15There were two women mentioned in the Torah in Sefer Shemot, in Exodus. Their job was to deliver the Jewish babies. They were named Shifra and Puah. Later, we find out that they are actually Yocheved and Miriam. So Chazal asks, why are they called Shifra and Puah when their names are something different? Shifra comes from the word meshaperet, meaning to beautify. Meaning to breathe in. Why was she called Shifra? Because she would breathe into still-life babies; if a baby was born not breathing, she would give mouth-to-mouth. This is even a previous source from the Yalkut Shimoni. This is a Midrash from 3,000 years ago.
