Is this my new assignment? I may start researching the questions. I'm slower than some, but I do intend to research possible associations with the atomic number chart and why they may have been utilized and issued to the elements as they are. I presume there will be some correspondence similar to the application assigned to the letters and the meanings behind them, but I'm uncertain.

Yes, that's your new assignment, and I'll be looking forward to your answers that you find.

Thank you

I did not write this; I referenced this information. However, this is helping me with how to write BCE with what numbers

  1. The exodus took place at c. 1500 BCE Moses revealed the Torah. The Jews settled in Israel. Around 600 BCE they were exiled to Babylon. Sometime, thereafter they returned. I have read that the Torah was “lost” at this time. St Ezra found a copy in a temple in Jerusalem. This manuscript became the basis of the present-day Bible.
  2. ⁠Sometime after this, some Jews migrated to Egypt and settled in Alexandria in particular. This Hebrew bible was used by the Ptolemy to translate the Bible into Greek Septuagint.
  3. ⁠From 600 BCE to 900 CE, the Torah was carried mainly orally. Some scripts such as the Aleppo Codex are available.
  4. ⁠The present Masoretic text was codified around 900CE. The Aleppo and Leningrad Codex are after this date.
  5. Benjamin J. Noonan has found 0.64% Egyptian loanwords in the Hebrew Bible as a whole and 0.91% in the Torah.
  6. There are three points of connection between Egypt and Hebrew Bible. 1] Revelation at Sinai c. 1500 BCE. 2] Alexandria 600-300 BCE. 3] After Septuagint during transmission of Torah from Egypt to the Masoretic text.
  7. The question is at which of these three periods were the Egyptian loanwords borrowed into Hebrew.
    I shall be much thankful for your guidance.

The Quote said: The exodus took place at c. 1500 BCE Moses revealed the Torah. The Jews settled in Israel. Around 600 BCE they were exiled to Babylon

It says the Jews settled in Israel. It doesn't show when. So when you corrected this, was it due to nothing being shown?

Also, how did Moses reveal the Torah? What does that mean to reveal?

Moses never arrived in Israel because he physically died.

So how did Moses reveal the Torah when he's physically dead?
