... above is more likely to be correct, since at this stage, when the pharaoh has not yet turned the Hebrews into a valuable labour force, there is no reason why he should oppose their "escape". The reading I have adopted is also that of the Jewish Publication Society's 1962 translation of the Torah, and the New English Bible translation of the Old Testament (1970). 34. Van Seters, op. cit. note 7, pp. 90ff. 35. Ibid., p. 92. 36. Cf. Albright, JAOS 74 (1954), p. 223, n. 2; Hayes: "The Middle Kingdom in Egypt" ...
752. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... light of psychoanalytic theory and Freud's own dreams. This book also he failed to complete, it being subsumed by the more grandiose ideas that came out of it. This period of Velikovsky's life was marked by a strange and uncharacteristic indecision. His last two nights in Palestine were sleepless despite his attempts to find serendipitous solace by randomly opening his Bible. Initially, he had planned to travel to Trieste for study, but there was no vacancy on the boat. Since he was already at the Tel Aviv harbor, he booked passage on the only ship with an open cabin, a ship bound for Haifa. There he transferred to a ship heading for the United States. But ...
753. "Extra-Scientific" Dimensions of Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... articulated and unarticulated edifice of "scientific" beliefs. In particular, Velikovsky's work has brought forth a host of gratuitous associations in the minds of scientists - connotations which reinforce, if they do not at times supersede, the substantive objections to his work. Perhaps the key factor is that Velikovsky's theories are regularly linked with literal interpretations of the Bible, and are thus viewed as being of one piece with "fundamentalism", rather than as an historical use of the Bible and other sources [12]. Along these lines, the number of times that scientists refer to the religious implications of Velikovsky's work is striking [13]. Such remarks might be seen as peripheral to ...
754. James Hutton: A Non-inductive, Theological Catastrophist [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... by, and the creation of soil from, weathering produced the layered strata found in the Earth and were contrived for plants and animals to develop in abundance. This same geological process which caused flora and fauna to thrive was contrived for man to farm, so that he could dominate the Earth at his pleasure. One can almost hear the Bible echoed by Hutton, as God said to Adam: Be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the Earth. And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding ...
755. Thoth Vol III, No. 17: Dec 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the same as symbolism and that every word had more than one meaning. For example, "tikkun" means both "salvation" and "restitution". In ancient times the word always meant both things, whereas now they are separated. "Torah" means "way of life", not "the first five books of the Bible"- because it's exactly that- about a way of life. That's partly why there is so much misunderstanding of writings in the Bible, I guess!! Also, their idea of "progress" was quite different from the modern concept. Anciently, progress, to the people, meant that you/we were getting closer ...
756. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... falling from the sky- not in this lecture here, but according to a tape recording of a lecture before tuition-fee-paying students at Cornell- that frogs were falling from the sky, and this [was] what Velikovsky said, and I said exactly the opposite, that frogs were the brood of the Earth, because the quotes in the Bible is exactly to this. He said also that mice were falling from the sky. Now, well, mice? Well- You need to know the Ten Plagues. There was no Mice Plague among the Ten Plagues. And certainly warm-blooded animals did not fall from there. I even did not claim that flies came with Venus. ...
757. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the point about the Hittite strata coming below the Phrygian strata, Emmett said it was called Phrygian because it was assumed they must have followed the Hittites but there is no independent evidence to suggest it actually is Phrygian. The dating of Phrygian monuments is derived from the Neo-Assyrian kings, whose dates in turn are believed fixed because of the Bible. Bob Porter said there is no evidence in any of the ancient inscriptions to support these alter ego identifications. He agreed that in Egypt a Pharaoh was given at least 5 names but occasionally these were all written out together so they could be recognised. Emmett said reconstruction of names was difficult, variable, and uncertain. In the ...
758. The Fall of Imperial Egypt [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to have heard as Psamtek. One thing is certain, Seti himself enlisted the aid of northern troops, a fact proved by the existence of a leaf-shaped bronze broadsword, of European manufacture, inscribed with his name. Whilst Herodotus' Egyptian informants made a native Egyptian lead her army against Sennacherib, we know from other sources, including the Bible, that the Nubian king Tirhaka was the real power in the land at the time. Thus in 2 Kings 19:9 we read: "Word reached the Assyrians that the Egyptian army, led by King Tirhakah of Ethiopia, was coming to attack him." Clearly Seti II was an ally, and very probably a vassal ...
759. Fractures and Cleavages [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Ridge of the Indian Ocean northward. This might indicate that the total area east of the Owen Fault Zone, including the African Rift-Gulf of Aden-Red Sea rift occurred at the time of or only a little later than the globe-girdling rift of which the Carlsberg Ridge forms part. Further activities of the Rift advance into proto-historic times, particularly into the Bible. The occasion of the destruction of the Cities of the Plain, including the story of Sodome and Gomorrah (see below, Chapter 29), treat specifically of the same rift. M. Blanckenhorn placed the age of the Syrian section of the Rift in the early glacial period [7 ]. W. Irwin retrojected the influx ...
760. Site Destructions and Discontinuities in the Bronze Age [Articles]
... Patten, he is an American who has not for some reason received the terrific criticism that Velikovsky did. I think it's because scientists can say he is a fundamentalist and they don't pay any further attention to him. He is a Baptist, he is very religious, so are the people who work with him, and they know their Bible, backwards and forwards, and they are pretty good geologists, and I think they've accumulated enough material, they are worth looking at." Peter James: "Two reviews coming up." Dr. Elizabeth Chesley Baity: "I am glad to hear that. He's got a hypothesis that the orbit of Mars which was once ...
