George, Firstly, Solomon had a city named after him; Jerusalem, "the Place of Peace". Secondly, there is his birth. The second male child born to a woman named...
George, I would bring the setting-down of the book of Genesis as far forward as the Alexandrian period (based on the work of Rolf Krauss, whose works you...
Molech = Amm = Eventually the Moon God ? The brief item below points to a "lunar" theme that many people think is important to the understanding of the bible....
AJ, I agree with all of your points suggesting a skeptical view of these conventional bible personalities.... with one exception. I do not agree that "Solomon...
AJ, GREAT discussion! But I'm sure there are scoffers on the list. Can you itemize some of these writings that help you construct this timeline? Regards, ...
Walter and other ABH members, I am starting to wonder why I have never read any biblical discussion about the ANCIENTNESS of the term "Sinai". Perhaps this...
At the Perseus.org, accessing the lexicon below: Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon yields only a few clues as to the background for ...
Aris, This is sort of my point. If the ONLY other term we have for "Sinai" is the MOON GOD SIN, then placing Yahweh on the "Mountain of the Moon" is going to...
... Just a reminder that both E and D use "Horeb" rather than "Sinai". If Sinai turns out to be a late term, it will only affect the dating of J and P. There...
The Legacy of the 15th Dynasty So, if the Exodus is not to be found within the history of the 19th Dynasty, just when is the Exodus to be found? Strictly ...
Let's not forget Judges 5:5 from a song considered to be of the oldest biblical material from c. 1125 BCE. Djehuti Sundaka ... If ... of ... the ... mysterious...
Hi both (Aris and George), perhaps I'm reading it differently from you, but to me the article is saying that the term "Sinaitic Peninsula" is what Josephus did...
Hi all, first, brief apologies for not being around much the last week - other responsibilities have overtaken ABH. Likewise I won't be around much now until...
Hi again everyone, I was looking the other day at some of David's formal titles (a little late on in the OT for my liking but there you go). Quite an ...
And once again hi all, I'm sure some of you will really consider this a wild one, but here goes anyway. One of my current projects is to go through the oracles...
Again, Gabe, you and I show our completely different view on things. I consider the ONE use of Sinai in Deuteronomy to be a fairly obvious intrusion. And also...
Djehuti, I don't see how anyone can PROVE the actually century Judges is from. And in terms of how Judges fits in with the circumstances in Palestine, it is...
Judges is not the issue. A song in Judges is. And as seen in the chronology below, I have no problem with the period of Judges being the SAME period as...
The Am Yahuwah In contrast to the priests of Yeruwshalayim, the priests of Lewiy had not been Kna'aniym nor indigenous to the highlands inhabited by YisraEl....
So did the Egyptians call the mountain Sinai? Or did the Transjordan tribes? And what is the first NON-biblical reference to either the Mountain or the...
... George, I must give you a heartily 'pat-on-the-back' for starting this thread, it is an issue I mentioned in discussion with Walter some time ago (year or...
Aris, It doesn't really matter WHERE it **was**. The question is where do we first find it in NON-biblical sources. George ... where Moses fled after the...
Richard, Even if the bible does not refer to the WILDERNESS of Sinai, it still becomes important to know when the FIRST ATTESTED USE (non-biblical!) of the...
