... Back | Main Contents | Volume Contents | Forward The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg Volume III Bible Times and Characters from the Exodus to the Death of Moses PREFACE "When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Jacob was His sanctuary and Israel His dominion." Jewish legend attempts to describe how God's sanctuary, the religion of Israel and His dominion, the beginnings of Israel as a nation, arose in the time between the Exodus from Egypt and the entrance into the Holy Land. Moses is regarded not only as the greatest religious guide of Israel, but also as its first national leader; he is " ...

... substantiation for Ages in Chaos and subsequent volumes. The fact that the Middle Kingdom of Egypt was terminated in a catastrophe served only as a point of departure for me; and in the Theses I put it in the following form: Thesis 5: "The literal meaning of many passages in the Scriptures which relate to the time of the Exodus imply that there was a great natural cataclysm of enormous dimensions." Thesis 6: "The synchronous moment between the Egyptian and Jewish histories can be established if the same catastrophe can also be traced in Egyptian literature." Theses 7 to 13 dealt with the Papyrus Ipuwer and the naos of el-Arish. The parallels intimated in the Theses ...

Then, just what was the special task of the sea circle? According to the scriptures, the "layer of brass," as the King James version has it (Exodus 30:18), had a very specific purpose: "for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat when they go into the tabernacle . . . that they die not." This instruction was part of a ritual observed to this day by Muslims; at each mosque you will find in the yard ...

... in the Neo-Babylonian period, during the period of Chaldean dominance and the reign of Nabonidus in particular." But the excavator of Ur, Sir Leonard Woolley, had concluded that Abraham had been educated according to the old Sumerian code (Woolley, 65). Now, as biblical tradition for its part places Abraham some 400 years before the exodus- that is, around 1900- it seemed reasonable to ascribe the flourishing of his homeland to 2070 B.C . The Jews would even have developed their "consciousness of being special, as also so much else . . . [through] Abraham of Ur" (Uhlig, 227), so that "around the middle ...

... milk for us precious honey . . . shall pour out milk for us in rich streams."(68) The Finnish tradition narrates that land and water were covered successively by black, red, and white milk. The first and second were the colours of the substances, ashes and "blood," that constituted the plagues (Exodus 7 and 9); the last one was the colour of ambrosia that turned into nectar on land and water. A memory of a time when "streams of milk and streams of sweet nectar flowed" is also preserved in Ovid.(69) 62. Midrash Tehillim to Psalm 23; Tosefta Sota 4, 3. 63 ...

The inscription on the shrine found in el-Arish may provide some indication where the Pharaoh was engulfed by the whirlpool;(13) in any event, the topographical distribution of sea and land did not remain the same as before the cataclysm of the days of the Exodus. But the name of the Sea of the PassageJam Sufis derived not from "reed," but from "hurricane," suf, sufa, in Hebrew. In Egyptian the Red Sea is called shari, which signifies the sea of percussion (mare percussionis) or the sea of the stroke or of the disaster.(14 ...

... His theories are again reviewed in detail in Abraham Rabinovich's article, and found interesting but not without their problems. Notably, the evidence in favour of Anati is the finding of 12 standing stones at the foot of Mount Karkom, at the edge of a campsite from which a trail leads up the mountain. This corresponds to the detail of Exodus 24:4 . In Exodus 26:30 Moses is instructed to build a tabernacle to God "according to the model that was shown to you on the mountain" - and Anati has found just such a tabernacle on top of Karkom. And, although surrounded by desert, this mountain is one place where one could live for ...

... to make preparations for the return home. Then, at the last moment before an already-postponed sailing, he chanced upon an idea that was to completely alter his life plans and keep him in America for decades. Reflecting upon events in the life of Moses, Velikovsky began to speculate: Was there a natural catastrophe at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt? Could the plagues of Egypt, the hurricane, the parting of the waters, and the smoke, fire, and rumblings of Mt Sinai described in the Bible have been real and sequential aspects of single titanic cataclysm of natural forces? If the Exodus took place during - or because of-an upheaval ...

286. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... Hammurabi was put in twenty- second century. Since then, the work of Albright and Sidney Smith reduced it more and more, until today it is 1680, approximately, the time till when Hammurabi ruled, and Ammizaduga would be at least a hundred years later. So Ammizaduga would be in that case just before the time of the Exodus, or the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt. But if Hommel and Schiaparelli are right- and there is reason to think that they are right- the reason is exactly the fact that the calendar used in these calculations of the scribes is thirty-day months, and there is no mistake on this. This needed to be stressed ...

... story has yet to be explored. Rene Andrew Boulay 1. Chaim Bermant and Michael Weitzman, Ebla: A Revelation in Archaeology. New York: Times Books, 1979, 187. 2. The dates of Abraham have always been controversial, and the chronology varies by hundreds of years. We have chosen to use the date of the Exodus as a starting point. This is based on the statement in 1 Kings 6 that the Exodus occurred 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, or 967 B.C . From here one can calculate back to Abraham's birthdate. Since the sojourn in Egypt lasted 430 years, according to Exodus, this would place the entrance ...
289. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and Mars intersected in such a way that the two planets nearly collided every 54 or 108 years, and yet in such a way that neither planet left its orbit. This stable and uniform pattern of catastrophic near collisions endured through eighteen centuries, and accounts for all of the post-Flood catastrophes described in the Bible, including Babel, Sodom-Gomorrah, Exodus, Joshua, Joel-Amos, and Isaiah, plus several others that the authors have to postulate (with little or no evidence) in order to preserve their theoretical pattern. All of these post-Flood catastrophes are attributed to Mars; the Flood itself is attributed to Mercury and an ice satellite, as had been suggested in an earlier book by ...

... will be mentioned here - his horns. ' One of the most peculiar traditions in the Pentateuch describes Moses as being horned' in the aftermath of his confrontation with God atop Mt. Sinai [17]. This passage, not surprisingly, has long troubled exegetes, ancient and modern alike. As Moberly points out in his commentary on Exodus 34, the source of the puzzle is a word that means both to have horns' and to shine' (translated as horned' in the Latin Vulgate): The writer's choice of the verb qrn in Exodus 34 should mean that Moses had horns yet the context demands the sense of shine. ' The question must be asked ...

292. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... 4 ) In their interesting article, the authors specified the theoretical problems of Velikovsky's reconstruction: large amounts of energy and angular momentum seem to have disappeared mysteriously from the solar system. They estimated the total loss of energy since Venus left Jupiter at just below 1040 ergs, or 1033 joules, of which about 40 percent was lost before the Exodus, and the rest afterwards. If all this energy had been absorbed and stored by Venus, Earth, and Mars, the average storage requirement would be 10,000 calories per gram of planetary material. Assuming that the average specific heat of these planets is 0.2 cal/g K, the energy would be sufficient for ...

... of Egypt has been settled as far back as c. 2000 B.C . and is immune to any further alterations in excess of about a decade. This concept was challenged by Immanuel Velikovsky in the mid 1950's in his Ages in Chaos. In this work he proposed alternate settings in the history of Egypt for the incidents of the exodus, the sacking of Solomon's temple, and the era of the Amarna Period. These altered placements called for a necessary chronological and historical abbreviation of traditional views by some 500 years. Many, including the writer, recognized in these proposals a possible answer to the conflict of opinions about the setting of the exodus in the background of either ...

... error in the absolute dating of the Egyptian dynasties had systematically distorted the entire history of the ancient Near East first came to Velikovsky in the early 1940s. By 1945 he had developed an outline model of a revised chronology in which the fall of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt and the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period were contemporary with the biblical Exodus; this was published as Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History. The main factors prompting this radical approach to ancient chronology were, firstly, the disconcerting absence in the conventional chronology of reliable synchronisms between the history of the Hebrews and that of Egypt, and secondly, the realisation that the events described in the Book of Exodus might ...

... .(6 ) Indeed, cannot both Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos be interpreted in similar manner, i.e ., as a rejoinder to the widespread revision of traditional Jewish history? A major portion of the former work, for example, is devoted to providing a physical explanation for the extraordinary circumstances which attended the Jewish exodus from Egypt. Clearly evident in the latter book is the attempt to bring the histories of the Near East more into line with the history outlined in the Old Testament. Can it be doubted that here Velikovsky's interpretation owes a little something to the researches of Freud and other scholars whose work cast doubt on the historical veracity of the Exodus ...

... in the paper and consequently is easily overlooked by the non-specialist. In Rose and Vaughan's first stage, Earth's average distance from the Sun is less than Venus' present distance from the Sun. It is difficult, if not impossible, to imagine how an Earth so close to the Sun - as it must have been immediately prior to the Exodus - could be hospitable to life. At one time the continuously habitable zone of the Sun was thought to extend from 0.7 AU to 1.3 AU. However, in 1977 Michael H. Hart, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, reduced the continuously habitable zone to a narrow range extending from 0.95 AU ...

BUFFALO; SENIOR EDITOR, KRONOS As I understand it, the "Glasgow chronologists" agree with Velikovsky's revised chronology in claiming that the conventional chronology is wrong, and also in claiming that the Exodus was at the end of the Middle Kingdom, that the period of the Hyksos was the same as the period of the Wandering and the Judges, and that the Eighteenth Dynasty began at the same time as the United Monarchy of Saul, David, and Solomon. In other words, the Glasgow chronologists do accept the main points of ...

... chronology), when Thera erupted and brought about the end of the Minoan civilisation. The magnitude of the Thera eruption is estimated at about five times as great as that of Krakatoa. Here should be an excellent test of the revised chronology: - there ought to be excess dust in the layers from -1000 (Thera) and -1500 (Exodus), whereas the corresponding dates are approx. -1500 and -1300 by orthodox chronology. If, on the other hand, the ice cores cannot settle this issue, then they cannot be used to deny cosmic cataclysms per se. I also have a query regarding the theory of the decay of Earth's magnetic field as proposed by Thomas Barnes ...
