It was the legend of an Egyptian prince. And how do we know that?
Because of the hilariously ridiculous bullshit story in Exodus
2:1-10, contrived to convert him into a Hebrew. Also because the name
"Moses" was popular among Egyptian royalty, as it means "begotten".
For example, Rameses was begotten of the god Ra and Thutmose for the
god Thoth.

The book of Exodus is a collection of ancient legends and traditions,
molded into their fable about the founding of Israel. Like the rest
of the Bible, it's mostly bullshit.

I've read a few things about it, mostly intriguing speculation. I do
recall reading they found the name Jacob but don't remember a mention
of Joseph. If you have a link, I'll happily read it.

LOL. Yes. It worked out quite well for them. She got to raise her own
kid in luxury. But it isn't true.

I'm not sufficiently talented, although one of my progeny is. But
what I post is true or I wouldn't post it. Exodus 2:1-10 is pure
bullshit and if you believe it really happened then I have a great
real estate opportunity I suspect will interest you.

It does seem so. But Hinduism is equally idiotic.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, although the christers do treat it as

While this isn’t what I first set out to show you, this is very interesting
and covers all your negative points. It points you by name to what you can
out into your search engine for the proofs. There are plenty of proof
pictures on the Net if you did a search, as well as U-tube videos on the
subject.

Yes I do believe all the Bible as it is the word of God.

The Exodus: Does archaeology have a say?
Jerusalem Post
04/14/2014

The Exodus is so fundamental to us and our Jewish
sources that it is embarrassing that there is no
evidence outside of the Bible to support it.

The short answer is "no". The whole subject of the
Exodus is embarrassing to archaeologists. The Exodus
is so fundamental to us and our Jewish sources that
it is embarrassing that there is no evidence outside
of the Bible to support it. So we prefer not to talk
about it, and hate to be asked about it.

For the account in the Torah is the basis of our
people’s creation, it is the basis of our existence
and it is the basis of our important Passover festival
and the whole Haggada that we recite on the first
evening of this festival of freedom. So that makes
archaeologists reluctant to have to tell our brethren
and ourselves that there is nothing in Egyptian records
to support it. Nothing on the slavery of the Israelites,
nothing on the plagues that persuaded Pharaoh to let
them go, nothing on the miraculous crossing of the Red
Sea, nothing.

Good article, Robert, thank you. I added it to my collection.
Fascinating stuff.

But even if the story of Joseph is mostly true, the book of Exodus is
still mostly false.

It is true, however, that escapees from Egypt migrated to Israel,
carrying Yahweh along with them, whom they identified with the
inhabitants' god El.

Jeroboam, btw, also later tried to connect the two in order to better
integrate the Israelites and Canaanites in his kingdom. Hence, the
golden calves (bulls) he installed at Bethel and Dan.

That is a common mistake that many people make, especially atheists.

“El, Elohim” Is and was the common name for “GOD, God, god”, by all
peoples from the times of Noah, It became generic via the usage by many
peoples. It was also used as a term for Master, or someone in control, like a
ruler.

When God decided to chose a people for himself, he selected the Hebrew
descendants of Abraham through which he was going to show himself to all
peoples, They were a nondescript people, short, disadvantaged, etc. By this
time there were poly-gods or all types. So to differentiate himself from all
the Generics he told Moses that He,Yehovah, was to be the name of their
“One” God. From that he establish himself apart from all other man made
God, and through that name was to be the path to The Heavenly Father unto the
end of Time. We know him by the name of Jesus, and the Heavenly Father is
called the “Ancient One” in the OT.

No, He set up false gods, leading to the undoing of the Jews, a common
mistake of those people over the course of centuries where they would follow
other gods, then repent when things got really, really, bad and return to
Yehovah God.

Here is the proof that he separated the 10 Northern tribes from God, and then
that part of the Nation divorced themselves from God.

2Ch 13:9 (KJV)

9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the
Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other
lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock
and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

You cannot read very well, can you? So you change the goal posts in order to

The discovery of the Egyptian name of Jospeh in Egypt from when he ruled over
Egypt offsets and trumps your old article, also many other things have been
discovered there and throughout the land of Israel. Some of which if you have
done a recent search on the subject you will see plenty of evidences.

Now can I prove that you were never married by posting old historic articles

The Canaanites referred to him more specifically as "Bull El".
Perhaps that was to differentiate him from all the other Els running
around.

The earliest archaeological record of Yhwh is in Midian. The escapees
from Egypt, already monotheists (well, their leaders were), adopted
the name as an alternate for their god Aten.

Many of them were former Egyptian military and they provided military
training for their fellow escapees, out of necessity, cuz Egypt
wanted them dead. So they were nobody to fuck with. And when they
heard about the nascent country of Israel, land of opportunity in
those days, they decided to check it out, found it was easy pickin's,
and negotiated a place for themselves with the Israelite inhabitants.

Two of the most ancient passages in the Bible are the Song of Miriam
and the Song of Deborah, the former making no mention of Israel and
the latter making no mention of Levites, as both were composed before
their meeting.

Yeah, that's what mainly pissed off the Levites. Jeroboam just hired
any old Joes off the street to be priests.

It's not fiction. Look at the ocean floor maps of national
geographic! Then explain how that dyke got there. When God
opened the water for Moses. Besides, they have several proofs
that those books are not bogus. It's called science
stupid.

Most of the Bible isn't deliberate lies (although much of it
certainly is). That doesn't mean it's true, however. Most of it is
indeed bullshit.

No, it doesn't back itself up. No, science doesn't back it up. You

You need to show proof of that statement. Yes, the Hebrew Children of were
mostly of the One God Elohim, but many, very man, had adopted the Egyptian
polygons. If, by saying the escapee’s from Egypt selected an alternate name
for their historical God then you are in error.

“And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.”
(Exo 1:7, KJV)

As you can see, they were all called the Children of Israel. Thus Israelite,
and in Exodus, as to Judges, there were Levites in the Land of Israel, They
migrated there with the other 11 tribes of Israel. And in the book of Judges
a son of a Levite was mentioned. And possibly more.

Judaism has laws and ordinances to follow, all of with the ancestors of the
ten northern tribes had signed on to. They were breaking their covenant to
the God of Israel.

When I say "escapees from Egypt", I'm not referring to the Hebrew

Actually, it all follows from known facts. It would require a page or

The only Israelites in the Bible with Egyptian names are Levites.

the Song of Miriam and the Song of Deborah?

Yes, he broke the previously agreed upon arrangement. But also, he
stabbed the Levites in the back, because without them, he wouldn't
have been king.

Yes, I did, and I reviewed both books and their pertains statements of the
two women. That the women did not mention Israel my name was not necessary

He actually stabbed God in the back for He was the one who directed the
Levites.

Exodus Documentary: Evidence that Demands a Verdict
04-01-2015

"I hate to disappoint people, but we have no
evidence of a mass migration of people from
one people coming into another country,"
University of Haifa archaeologist Norma
Franklin states in the film. "I don't believe
there was a single event that we can call the
Exodus."

Egyptologist Maarten Raven, curator of the Leiden

account. "This person [Moses] could not have seen
all this. He imagined it"

"I'm very much against chronicle revisionism," said
James K. Hoffmeier, Egyptologist and professor of
Old Testament and Near Eastern Archaeology at
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield,
Illinois.

Egyptologist Mansour Boraik, director general of
Antiquities at Luxor, maintains "there's no
documented evidence about the Exodus."

And Tel Aviv University archaeologist Israel
Finkelstein concludes "[The] Exodus did not happen
in the way that it is described in the text."

They were the followers of Akhenaten's monotheistic heresy and their
slaves and whatever other slaves they could gather before fleeing.
They were the proto Levites.

I'm willing to explain a bit at a time if you're interested.
You miss my point. The Song of Miriam was composed in Midian before
the proto Levites went to Israel and the Song of Deborah was composed
in Israel before they got there. That's why they demonstrate
ignorance of each other.

Thanks Mitchell. Interesting that Finkelstein appended the qualifying
phrase. I would have expected him to end the sentence after the word
"happen". Iirc, he doesn't believe it occurred at all.

I was or I would not have asked. Hard to discuss things one is not familiar
with.
Before the Israelites went to Egypt there were Levites. The Tribe of Levites
left with the rest of the Hebrews from Egypt and wandered with the others in
the desert, and they also served in the Tabernacle of God that was moved
wherever they went. The Tent was always set up in the midst of the camp, with
the cloud of Glory over it at all times. The song of Deborah was made up
while they were in Canaan and were ruled by Judges.

It might help you to get a timeline of biblical events for all the major
points of interest, to look at. Your timelines have been known to be way off.

I'm telling you how the tribe of Levites was formed.

Then I'll start with the first sentence. Many of the fugitives were
nobility and members of the upper class, who would've certainly
served as army officers. The Tabernacle is modelled after the
Egyptian military battle headquarters. And they must have had
sufficient foresight to raid the armory before they split, and
trained the slaves they brought along, as they managed to pull off a
military upset victory against the pursuing Egyptians.
Israel was formed during the economic depression of the Late Bronze
Age when people from the coastal cities and pastoral nomads settled
there because the land was arable and unpopulated. They never "went
to Egypt".

That never happened at all.

The book of Judges was assembled from old stories that happened five
or more centuries previously. Linguistic evidence dates the Song of
Deborah to around 1200 BCE, which also matches the story events.
However, the song doesn't correspond perfectly to the story.

LOL. Funny, dude. My timeline is spot on. It's you fundies' timeline
