... He was one of the first, in a specifically psychoanalytic context, to trace some of the ideas in Freud's Interpretation of Dreams back to Jewish notions that predated Freud by many centuries. The article was published in 1933 by the Internationaler Psychoanalytischer Verlag, a publishing house founded under Freud's aegis to promote "true" psychoanalytic doctrines. Like the Bible itself, the Talmud commentary upon the Bible is composed of many books written over a long span of years. One of these "books" is the Mishna, which is divided into six sedarim (orders); each sedar is further divided into messekhtoth (tractates). The first tractate is Berakoth, which deals with prayers and ...
352. "Let There be Light" [Journals] [Kronos]
... there be light: and there was light. "And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness."(54) Ever since these words of Genesis came to the attention of the Western World, Christian theologians have been grappling with the apparent contradiction of their meaning. "The Bible and theologians have been ridiculed for standing firm on the Mosaic version, which asserts that on the first day God created light. How is it possible to create light on the first day when the sun, the moon, and the stars were created later, i.e ., on the fourth day?"(55) ...
353. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... shown an abundance of artefacts from the Middle Kingdom (Dynasties XII and XIII), whilst the so-called "Hyksos" scarabs found in these strata cannot be positively identified as such. However, except for Ai, all the Palestinian cities mentioned in the Biblical narrative of the Conquest existed at the end of MB II. Moreover, where the Bible stated that the city was destroyed, a destruction level appeared in the appropriate stratum; where it was spared, there were signs of continuous occupation into the Late Bronze period. The evidence from Jericho was the most conclusive: as discussed by Dr Bimson in SISR I:3 and in a further paper in this issue, a flourishing ...
354. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... taking the story with them, and bringing expertise. His dating of these events are: 2000-1900BC for Cain, 1700BC for the flood and 1520-1500BC for the dispersion. Lasken started with Genesis chapters 4-11 as having a historical basis. They contain the stories of Cain, the Flood and of the Dispersion. The story of Cain given in the Bible with some details added by Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews Book I Chapter II) refers to the first walled city and, within 7-8 generations, metallurgy and musical instruments; with the descendants of Seth, there was astronomy, writing and the rise of the first urban civilisation. Then came the great flood. The Bible indicates that ...
355. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Mitcham does not introduce in his critique his objection to my use of Scripture for recognizing that the period of the Israelites in Egypt was 215 years, not 430 as popularly held, such disagreement was expressed at the seminar. Hence this opportunity is taken to point out why this concept of a 430-year sojourn in Egypt is not supported by the Bible. To scholars who reject per se any statements of Scripture that do not agree with their theories, the 430-year figure has served well to give Mesopotamian chronology an unwarranted antiquity for Hammurabi, just as the application of the Sothic theory has provided a similar basis for an unwarranted antiquity for Dynasty XII in Egypt. If Scripture is to be ...
356. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Ogyges, see below.) Another reason is provided by a tradition that during the catastrophes of Yahou's time, the Sun did not set for ten days. Velikovsky sees this as a Chinese equivalent of the several days of darkness which occurred on the eve of the Exodus (pp. 69-73). Aside from the fact that the Bible refers to only three days of darkness (Exodus 10:22), there is a major problem with this supposed synchronism. Velikovsky argues that the darkness on the eve of the Exodus was caused partly by the earth's stasis or tilting of its axis' and also by a thin cinder dust from the comet' which choked the atmosphere ...
357. A Cosmic Debate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and other fields, of course. III A third large area of fuel for debate would be the humanities. There are many fields here and my breakdown of the fields cannot be very logical. Is costuming a field? Where did clothing originate, or the helmets we have been talking of? Clothing was born of disaster, says the Bible, of expulsion from the Garden of Eden, which may have corresponded to a tilting of the earth's axis and the coming of the cold seasons. Certainly mythology is a humanistic field. It seems odd to me that no contemporary school of mythology, except of course the revolutionary school of which I speak, admits to the reality and ...
358. The Hebrew Patriarchs in Greek Tradition (Part I) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... brothers lived that long! Also, they both died at about the same time. The Book of Sothis shows Rathotis, the son of Orus, to be king number 43 of the cynic cycle. Manetho symbolically gives the value of 43 to that dynasty of four brothers by stating that it consisted of 43 shepherds and 43 Thebans. The Bible claimed that the brethren and their descendants sojourned in the Delta for 430 years. Dare we speculate upon a direct symbolic relationship between king number 43, the 43 shepherds and their 430 year sojourn? Perhaps the answer to this question lies in establishing the identity of the Eastern Ethiopian king Orus, for he was the father of king number ...
359. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of information. however, is the name of the ruler of Hazor, Ibni-Adad, designated as "king of Hazor." His name is given in the Accadian form of the West Semetic name Yabni-Hadad, "the god Hadad has created." Scholars have suggested that the form of the name of the king of Hazor mentioned in the Bible- Yanin (Jabin being the Anglicized version)- is indeed short for the full theophoric formula. If this is true, then Yabin may have been a royal dynastic name of the kings of Hazor for quite a time.32 First let us look at this paragraph from the standpoint of Hazor's chronology. The phrase "for quite ...
360. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... written in his pre-American manner. Even in 1917, he exhibited strong tendencies both toward biblical literalism and toward the revolutionary possibilities of catastrophism; but he coupled these with a certain skepticism towards both. In 1917 he could still read a description of mountains shivering and hills quivering as "poetic description". (20) He realized that the Bible, in general, is not "a book of proofs, but only a book of a story, of edification, and laws." Neither is it a book of metaphysics since it "speaks only of that which it knows." (For this reason, it is "not characteristic" of Judaism to affirm anything about ...
