Good Morning Sincerly
I have no desire to "rewrite history"---I have a hard enough time living as history is unfolding around me daily. Also, The recording of history has been by mankind ever since the spoken/written word was learned/uttered. Therefore, history was "written by man" whether or not it was by a Believer in the True Creator GOD, OR by a man who made his own god.
except for one problem.
many languages existed long before ancient hebrews existed.
Many religions existed before ancient hebrews existed.
The world was full of many races of people all over the planet, for 200,000 years before the people who wrote the bible existed.
these are facts and not up for debate.
Around 1200 B.C. is Saul's and David's reign as kings---Then came Solomon. We have this record: 1Kings6:1, And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
False again bud.
History of ancient Israel and Judah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israel and Judah were related
Iron Age kingdoms of ancient
Canaan. The earliest known reference to the name
Israel in
archaeological records is in the
Merneptah stele, an Egyptian record of c. 1209 BCE
what this is saying is that in 1209 BC Egypt wiped out the nomads that would become ancient Israeli's or hebrews as you know them.
But the fact is, at this time, none of the people you mention existed as Israel wasnt even a place in 1209, they were a people.
Therefore, the people who were called out of Egypt(Israelites) circa 1540 B.C. Had Abraham as the beginning of that prople`. (He was Called out from among idol worshipers by the true Creator GOD.) To Moses, GOD said,(Ex.6:3-8),
Abraham and moses were creations in a book according to history.
there was never a enslaved race of hebrews in egypt ever, there is not a single shred of evidence for this at all.
Moses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the general narrative of the Exodus and the conquest of the Promised Land may be remotely rooted in historical events, the figure of Moses as a leader of the Israelites in these events cannot be substantiated.
[84][85][86][87] William Dever agrees with the Canaanite origin of the Israelites but allows for the possibility of some immigrants from Egypt among the early hilltop settlers, leaving open the possibility of a Moses-like figure in Transjordan ca 1250-1200
OK here it says Moses cannot substanciated, and Canaan NOT egypt is the origins of ancient hebrews.
Abraham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historicity and origins
It is generally recognised by scholars that there is nothing in the Genesis stories that can be related to the history of
Canaan of the early 2nd millennium: none of the kings mentioned is known, Abimelech could not have been a
Philistine (they did not arrive until centuries later),
Ur would not become known as "Ur of the Chaldeans" until the early 1st millennium, and Laban could not have been an Aramean, as the Arameans did not become an identifiable political entity until the 12th century.
[18] Joseph Blenkinsopp, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Studies at the
University of Notre Dame, notes that the past four or five decades have seen a growing consensus that the Genesis narrative of Abraham originated from literary circles of the 6th and 5th centuries BCE as a mirror of the situation facing the Jewish community under the
Babylonian and early
Persian empires.
"the Shasu tribe "= "Nomadic" in the Egyptian language. That is what the decendants of Abraham were.
There are no known ties to the Shasu and Israel at all.
I wish there was bud, it would explain alot.
I personally want to think there would be a tie just because of the worship of Yahweh had to start somewhere and handed down to Canannites before the semetic people of that culture migrated to Israel. But its just not there.
Yes, after they had possessed the land they alternately accepted and were punished for adhering to "other gods" of the surrounding nations.
here is he real history
Iron Age Yahwism
Further information:
Yahweh (Canaanite deity) and
El (god)
Current models among scholars see the emergence of Israelite monotheism as a gradual process which began with the normal beliefs and practices of the ancient world.
[74]
The religion of the Israelites of Iron Age I, like many Ancient Near Eastern religions, was based on the cult of the ancestors and the worship of family gods (the "gods of the fathers").
[75] The major deities were not numerous El,
Asherah, and Yahweh, with
Baal as a fourth god in the early period.
[76] By the early monarchy El and Yahweh had become unified and Asherah did not continue as a separate state cult,
[76] although she continued to be popular at a community level until Persian times.
[77] Yahweh, later the
national god of both Israel and Judah seems to have originated in
Edom and
Midian in southern Canaan, and may have been brought north to Israel by the
Kenites and
Midianites at an early stage.
[78] With the emergence of monarchy at the beginning of Iron Age II the king promoted his own family god,
Yahweh, as the god of the kingdom, but beyond the royal court religion continued to be both polytheistic and family-centered, as it was also for other societies in the Ancient Near East.
[79]
Yes, it is the real history of the Creation of all things and the fall of mankind by the subtlies of the serpent----Satan---
Thats fine and all but it doesnt state satan was in the garden. Nothing does
And what you posted was written hundreds of years later.
Book of Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This leaves the question of when these works were created. Scholars in the first half of the 20th century came to the conclusion that the Yahwist was produced in the monarchic period, specifically at the court of Solomon, and the Priestly work in the middle of the 5th century BC (the author was even identified as
Ezra), but more recent thinking is that the Yahwist was written either just before or during the
Babylonian exile of the 6th century, and the Priestly final edition was made late in the Exilic period or soon after.
here we are trying show you that Genesis was written 600 years after the formation of Israel as a nation.
Here is a important link if you want to really learn how the first five books of the bible were composed.
