... in the sense of "to overthrow a wall."(2 ) This was the tenth plague. "And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead" (Exodus 12 : 30). Houses fell, smitten by one violent blow. "[ The angel of the Lord] passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses" (Exodus 12 : 27). Nogaf, meaning "smote," is the word used ...

James: Nobody denies the historicallity of Egyptian Pharaohs no matter how slim the evidence for their rule might be. If the Bible is correct, then Joseph became Pharaoh. Manetho's name for the Pharaoh after Sesostris was Lamares. During the Exodus Joseph's entombed body was taken out of Egypt by the Israelites. James: Before the Exodus the Bible gives 214 years of Hebrew rule of Egypt before the birth of Moses. Clark: What evidence do you have that Moses was a genuine historical figure? James: Josephus of the first century wrote quoting directly from Manetho that Saites was ...
78. The Albrecht/Glueck-Aharoni/Rothenberg Confrontation [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... The Egyptians worked the copper mines and their installations. But if the Egyptians could maintain this vast mining undertaking indicated archaeologically, then they would also be readily capable of sending their armies there to confront the recently escaped Israelites. Their passage was not a furtive operation: the Israelites spent some 38 of the 40 years of the interim since the exodus in this territory. To assume highly reduced numbers from those given in Scripture- to allow a sneak' entrance- only makes a successful Egyptian confrontation all the more reasonable. The Israelites did not take a direct route into Palestine. The stated reason was to avoid a confrontation with the Philistines,35 not the Egyptians. Yet the ...

... Lord" in which I collected the expression "the day of the Lord" and the various adjectives that went with it throughout the Old Testament, and if you will quickly glance at it, you will see that this day of the Lord has associated with it the same kind of phenomena that we have already come to recognize in the Exodus story and the Venus catastrophe, and here in this day of the Lord, which you have as a very prominent theme in the Old Testament and it is picked up also in the New Testament, as some day in the future when the wrath of God will be visited upon the Earth and it will be accompanied by all these ...

Bimson Dr. Bimson, a regular contributor to this journal, specialised in Hebrew Chronology at Sheffield University; his doctorate thesis was recently published under the title, "Redating the Exodus and Conquest". He is currently continuing his researches into the stratigraphy and chronology of Palestine.

Baillie Batsford, London, 1999, ISBN 0713483520, hardback £19.99 Peter James There is an urgent need for an authoritative volume presenting the scientific evidence for recent global catastrophes in a straightforward, uncluttered, manner - for the benefit of ancient historians and archaeologists, who still remain largely unaware of recent developments in catastrophism. Victor Clube and Bill Napier's Cosmic Serpent (1982), brilliant for the breakthroughs it made in astronomy, was marred by a weak control ...

84. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Persian empire is not missing at all but lies before us in the Assyrian strata, dated from -900 to -600 via fundamentalism and, even earlier, (as Middle Assyrians) dated via pseudoastronomical Egyptology. With the chronology of Aramaic established, we may return to the question of the emergence of the House of David. I put the Exodus event around -630, at the end of the Ninos-Assyrian (Hyksonian, Old Akkadian, Old Assyrian) empire or at the beginning of the Medish (Mitanni) period, respectively. "Israel in Egypt" thus refers to mercenaries, administrators and settlers coming with the Ninos-Assyrian forces who could not help but launch their attacks of the stratigraphy-dated ...
85. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ark was a crude apparatus designed to give electric shocks, to incinerate uninitiated interlopers and anyone foolish enough to touch it. This idea may have a connection with the pillar of smoke or fire that apparently accompanied it. In the Bible the Ark is ambiguous in some ways but it does not appear to exhibit sinister properties. For instance, Exodus 40 says Moses was commanded to place the Ark within the tent of the Tabernacle (a sort of portable temple) and cover it with a veil - of blue, purple and red. In 40:20 Moses placed the testimony into the Ark, while in 40:34 a cloud covered the tent of the congregation and the ...

... , and possibly Mercury or Saturn convert from their ancient catastrophic orbits to their modern orbits? Velikovsky left no path of logic to follow for answering this question of orbital mechanics. Did Velikovsky identify all of the catastrophes of the first and second millennium B.C .? He identified two in the fifteenth century B.C . (the Exodus and the long Day of Joshua.) He also identified two more in the eighth century B.C . (the Amos-Jonah event and the Isaiah-Sennacherib cataclysm.) Were there additional planetary catastrophes in this era to be reckoned with, described in Judaica, the Old Testament, perhaps Josephus, perhaps the Talmud? A general reading reveals ...

... . However, it might be that the orthodox theory of "dark ages" for the entire Near East is in error; consideration of this might solve all the difficulties for him. - ISRAEL EXPLORATION JOURNAL vol. 30, 3/4 (1980), pp. 148-61 Bimson Reviewed This highly unfavourable review of John Bimson's REDATING THE EXODUS AND CONQUEST (Sheffield 1978) was spotted by Mr Amelan. The reviewer, A. F. Rainey, attacks everything, including the unpublished parts of the thesis, and with vehemence. Apparently Rainey had identified Beitin as being the site of Biblical Bethel, an identification which Bimson ruled out. In turn, Rainey attacks Bimson's proffered ...

In the Fall 1973 number of Pensée there appeared "A Note or Rockenbach's De Cometis " by Carter Sutherland. The article dealt with the passage in Abraham Rockenbach's essay on comets (published in 1602) in which the comet of Typhon is described. Velikovsky had previously made use or this passage in Worlds in Collisions (the section ...
89. The Emerging Revision of Ancient History: Recent Research [Journals] [Velikovskian]

Or was he really Ramses II, as claim Peter James, David Rohl and other proponents of the historical model long pushed by publishers of the British-based Catastrophism and Chronology Review? Did the Exodus occur at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, as they argue and John Bimson argue, and as Velikovsky himself believed? Or did it take place earlier, at the end of the Early Bronze Age, as Donovan Courville, Tom Chetwynd, Stan Vaniger, Emmett Sweeney, Brad Aaronson and I have argued? Over the years ...
90. 'Worlds in Collision' and the Birth of Monotheism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... author of "The Revolution in Judaea" and the forthcoming "Jewish-Christian Mediaeval Disputation"; contributor to New Testament Studies, Encounter, The Listener, Midstream, etc., and an editor of Jewish Quarterly and European Judaism. The catastrophes postulated by Velikovsky have considerable implications for the development of the Israelite religion. The unique circumstances of the Exodus may have brought about a "mutation" in the Israelites' view of man and the universe, enabling them to abandon the worship of nature and embrace monotheism, and of incalculable influence on the development of religious thought. Recent work on the origins of monotheism has tended to erode the older view that monotheism grew gradually out of polytheism ...
91. Venus and the Jubilee [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it may also be unnecessary. In any case, it hardly makes for a convincing comparison between the two cycles. But let us look at the Israelite jubilee. Leviticus 25 relates how God gave Moses instructions on Mount Sinai regarding the jubilee. This took place during the forty years of wandering in the desert following the events of the Exodus. Moreover, it occurred at a time when there was no settled agriculture. Now this is strange, for the Leviticus jubilee is primarily concerned with agricultural preparation. But this was a time of lawmaking, and many of the laws were formulated to serve the Israelites through the coming centuries. Those pertaining to agriculture, although agriculture could ...
92. "Papyrus Ipuwer" and Worlds in Collision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the text is more likely to have been social rather than cosmic. Several times in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky refers to the so-called "Papyrus Ipuwer", which, in his view, represents an Egyptian eyewitness account of the Venusian catastrophes of 1500 BC, and in particular of the same events which we now know as the plagues of the Exodus. The translation that I had access to was that of John A. Wilson in Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament (hereafter referred to as ANET), edited by James B. Pritchard (Princeton University Press, 3rd edition, 1969), pp. 441-444. Unfortunately, the translation is not a complete one ...
93. Myth and the Origin of Religion [Journals] [Pensee]
... incredible, measured by our present sensitivities, the scholar can fall back on his definition of the "mysterious" nature of human existence and the need felt by ancient peoples to comment poetically on life. It is precisely at this point in the interpretation of myth that Immanuel Velikovsky has challenged modern thinking. He has taken the story of the Exodus and asked whether or not such a traumatic event as described in the Old Testament could be a rendering of actual history. From this basic question he then proceeds relentlessly to amass evidence from every possible science, interest area, and source available. Weaving and winnowing his way through an incredible mass of materials, he uses one science to ...

... over 40 years, and has practised as an independent consultant on the processing of chocolate and cocoa for the last 25 years. It is probably not yet generally appreciated just how much the world, its peoples and their customs owe to the near miraculous falls of manna from the heavens which occurred in the 40 years or so immediately following the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt around 1500-1450 5.C . (1 ). At a time when a great natural catastrophe had interrupted normal photosynthetic production of essential foodstuffs, apparently all over the world, animal life could possibly have been extinguished by starvation but for this apparently unique intervention from on high. That we attempt to elucidate the ...

If and when the evidence can be adequately summarised, David Salkeld's suggestion will be highly recommendable, but I suspect he will have to add Michelson's suggestions to those which he has already made.

96. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Archaeology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Archaeology In my book I described the great natural catastrophes of the second and first millennia before the present era. Prominent place is given to the description of the natural upheaval that occurred in the closing hours of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt. I synchronized this event with the Exodus, when sea, land, and sky were in uproar. The collective human memory retained an inexhaustible array of recollections of the time when the world was in conflagration, when sea engulfed land, earth trembled, celestial bodies were disturbed in their motion, and meteorites fell. My narrative is based on historical texts of many peoples around ...
97. A Critic in the Desert [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in the Desert Yehoshua Etzion A review of Out of the Desert? by rofessor W.H . Stiebing Professor W.H . Stiebing, in his book "Out of the Desert?" [Buffalo, 1989], attempts to assess "the relationship between archaeological evidence from Egypt and Palestine, and the biblical stories of an Israelite Exodus from Egypt, and conquest of Canaan" (p . 13). Readers of C&AH, whose interest resides in new theories of ancient times, might however be disappointed, as broad sections of this book present merely an elementary material of Biblical studies and basic Egyptology. The review included in the chapters dedicated to archaeology of ...
98. The Biblical 40-Years Periods [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for exactly 40 years, is even less likely. With such a statistical improbability, and knowing that the number 40 also appears unusually frequently elsewhere in the OT, can an historian or revisionist really be justified in using this number arithmetically? This paper seeks an answer to this question. (The larger Bible numbers relating to the Sojourn, Exodus and Judges Periods, and their use in chronologies, will be considered in a subsequent paper.) 1. Previous Studies For over 2,000 years, some of the world's finest intellects have studied the Bible. Doubtless every word and every number has been scrutinised and debated at length, especially no doubt the incredibly great ages of ...
99. The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 1 (1997) Home | Issue Contents The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective Henry Zecher In the spring of 1940 Immanuel Velikovsky pondered what kind of natural catastrophe had turned the plain of Sodom and Gomorrah into the lake which Joshua and the Israelites came upon after the Exodus. He pondered the plagues described in the Book of Exodus, whether or not they were real and whether or not there was an Egyptian version of them. In search of just such a document, he soon discovered in a reference book the mention of an Egyptian papyrus by a sage named Ipuwer declaring that the Nile River was blood ...
100. The Bible Myth : The African Origins Of The Jewish People by Gary Greenberg (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... title and subtitle of this book are somewhat broader than the content. For Greenberg does not reject all of the Bible as myth, only the earlier portions of Biblical history. Often, Greenberg treats even the origin accounts more as garbling or transmogrifications than as fabrications. Thus, it is significant that he does not deny that there was an Exodus, that there was a Moses, that there was a David, and so on. Perhaps the title of Chapter 15, "Rewriting the History of Ancient Israel's Origins", would have been a much more accurate title for the book as a whole. The word "African" in the subtitle is also rather misleading. One ...
