... even begun to explain why Saul, but not David, is much-named in the Amarna Letters. [4 ] I next charged that David's role as an archetypal habiru leader is simply irrelevant ( 'a red herring') to the problem of his absence as a discernible individual, noting also that the presence of other habiru types in the bible, such as the roughly mid-12th century Jepthah, Gaal and Abi-melech, means that this is not even a significant parallel. Apart from an assertion that my charge is itself a red herring, Bernard has ignored my charge of irrelevance - i.e . he has failed to explain how the major role played during the Amarna period by ...
202. The Creation of the Earth -- the Second Account [Books]
... light from darkness, the waters-above from the waters-below, the sea from the land (and perhaps even the creation of Eve through costectomy). If the redactor of the creation account in the Book of Genesis was very careful in his selection of traditional material and its verbal rendering, the editors, or compilers, of other parts of the Bible were occasionally less so. They treasured old gold even when it was wrought into definitely unorthodox shape. That is why we find here and there in the Old Testament a passage in which ancient myth tells in undimmed tones of the dragon: fighting god-hero. By his knowledge', we read in Proverbs iii. 20, the tehomoth ...

204. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the ever-varying shades of a sun-shifting screen of vapors, carrying a host of canopy objects across the firmament, and not incorporate related allusions into his history of earth and heaven. I think the evidence of canopy phenomena is sufficiently prevalent in primitive times to arrest the serious attention of the scientific student of antiquity. The student who searches through the Bible as a remarkable volume for truth, whether he believes in its infallibility or not, will encounter a wonderful collection of canopy testimony. As an investigator, I put more confidence in the Bible than in all other folios combined. By some mysterious procedure, the Bible preserves in the most faithful, natural and philosophic prospect, the delineation ...
205. Homo Schizo Meets God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Estate to verify the letter, Sammer and Heinberg denied its existence. They agreed that it was written in longhand and no copy was preserved. Possibly Deg remembered V. telling him what was in it, and there being nothing tangible, forgot what it was. We can be sure that V. did not send the prisoners to the Bible, and one of the most persistent and risible of canards raised against V., especially by the humanist movement, was that he was an anti-scientific Biblical revivalist. Many scientists picked up this idea, too. That he was often used by evangelists cannot be disputed, but in such cases Velikovsky was not a Velikovskian. V. ...
206. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in the Old Testament. Perhaps the most famous of such chronologies are the attempts of Irish Archbishop James Ussher (1581-1656) and, in our time, Edwin R. Thiele. Ussher's researches led him to set the date of the creation of Adam at 4004 B.C . His chronology is still found sometimes in the margins of many Bibles. Thiele specialized in his work on the time of the Hebrew kings. His results are widely accepted by historians and are used in their expositions. The results of Thiele's efforts are summarized in Table I. [1 ] Thiele's chronology is an attempt to harmonize the data of the Bible with the currently accepted dates for the Assyrian and ...

... rather, their professors, were definitely antagonistic. I shall not here enter into a discussion, criticism, or refutation of the scientific theories which have offered to explain, or which have declined to explain, the various myths in the Book of Genesis. I shall instead offer only the interpretation of the cosmogonic myths at the beginning of the Bible which is made possible by an interesting new theory of the life history of the Earth, Hoerbiger's teachings regarding the satellites of our planet. This theory has been used to form the basis of a new school of explanatory mythology. The chief representatives of this school are the German mythologists, Hans Fischer and Georg Hinzpeter, who elaborated foundations ...
208. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mr Maccoby gave us an inspiring picture of the Exodus and its attendant events as a call to ancient Israel to abandon the false securities of polytheism. However, in the last two paragraphs, where Mr Maccoby explores "some important psychological aspects of the matter", his discussion seems to miss the mark. Mr Maccoby suggests that in the Bible the trauma of birth "is represented by the expulsion from Eden (the womb), while the trauma of weaning is represented by the Exodus from Egypt . . ." . I would suggest rather that the Exodus itself be seen as a birth event. I say this partly because it was a formative event for the nation of ...
209. Is the Tribe of Dan Homer's Danaanians? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and Ancient History VIII:2 (July 1986) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Is the Tribe of Dan Homer's Danaanians?Robert Stevens It is my belief that the Tribe of Dan went to Greece and eventually ended up fighting its relatives- the Trojans. In order to help support this theory we will first glean what we can from the Bible about the tribe of Dan. It was the second largest tribe, according to the census. The Bible then states that the territory allotted to the tribes depended on their size; that allotted to Dan was not very big, as it was located on the coast between the Philistines and the tribe of Asher. This must have meant ...
... which these three groups of tribes or nations exhibit, are palpably none other than those which their widely differing circumstances have occasioned. It seems very probable that the distinctive character of the American families would never have been called in question, had it not been for the necessity which many learned and pious men have thought to be imposed by the Bible, of deriving all varieties of the human species from a single pair on the banks of the Euphrates. Taking it for granted that the American aborigines are the descendants of some one or more of the diversified nations to which earliest history refers, they have directed their inquiries to which of these their progenitors may be with most exactness referred ...
