... beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt . . ." (194) Following the catastrophe, Sodom and Gomorrah became the very symbol of devastation. In his farewell speech, generations later, Moses admonished his people to heed the Covenant lest god were to turn the land they were about to inhabit into a desolation with "all its soil devastated by sulphur and salt, beyond sowing and producing, no grass growing in it, just like the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah".(195) Zephaniah, who even later prophesied ...
452. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... good reason for believing that the book of Job is not what it claims to be (allowing for later editing): the story of a man who lived before the Exodus. (It should also be noted that the cosmological sections of the book do not use the name YHWH - the Eternal - for God which was first introduced to Moses (cf. Exodus 6): this strongly suggests that the material was first compiled before the time of Moses.) THE WISDOM OF JOB With the working hypothesis in mind that the book of Job was originally written in pre-Exodus times, let us examine the cosmological thought behind the "wisdom of Job". Cyrus Gordon has pointed ...
453. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... anguish of the time the monotheistic slaves fled as a group from Egypt (together with some pagan hangers-on) and joined with other monotheistic thinkers in the Sinai region. A national group was formed that claimed a special relationship with the One Supernatural God. Further, let me suggest that this second approach is more probable, as the scenario of Moses taking pagan slaves out of Egypt for conversion to monotheism by exposure to wonders is rather strange. Moses, according to the Bible, had no love of the leadership mission or of converting people. It was his duty to redeem Abraham's, Isaac's and Jacob's offspring, who were probably the bulk of already monotheistic thinkers. One does not ...
454. On the Length of Reigns of the Sumerian Kings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... equivalent of today's confirmation, or bar-mitzvah, at which time the man was born and the child buried [18,19]. As today, this festival was celebrated between 12 and 16 years of age (the time is determined by the child showing physical signs of maturity). Bar-mitzvah has been a religious law since the time of Moses. There is no telling how much older this custom might be. Then, as today, the new-born was not usually considered a fully fledged member of the community. He was subjected to an apprenticeship until he reached the legal age. Thus Apollo received a sword when one year old, and Heracles committed heroic deeds during his first ...
455. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... interpret itself. And when this is done the period emerges as 215, not 430 years. This follows from clearly stated data. The period of servitude was to end in the fourth generation from the time of the descent of Jacob and his sons. [17] This prediction was fulfilled and so recorded in Exodus 6:16-20. Moses was the son of Armram, who was the son of Kohath, who was the son of Levi. Levi was among those who came into Egypt at Jacob's descent and Moses was 80 years old at the Exodus. On the other hand, the statements in Exodus 12:40 and Genesis 15:13,14 can be rationally ...
456. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time Part One - Of Apes and Men [Journals] [SIS Review]
... S. Freese: The Miracle of Vision (London, 1977), pp. 8f. 4. The Hebrew formula X begot Y' or X was the father of Y' does not entail a father-son relationship (e .g . Genesis 10:21, Genesis 46:18, and compare the 4 generations of Jacob to Moses in Exodus 6:16-20 with the 11 generations from Jacob to Nun, Moses' contemporary, in I Chronicles 7:23-27) but merely lineal descent, so there may be gaps in the genealogies. There is no warrant for Ussher's dating the Creation to 4004 BC. 5. Homo sapiens includes, of course, archaic Homo ...
457. Sagan's first problem: The ejection of Venus by Jupiter (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... . He states respecting this point that, "the comminution physics is well-known."15 The word comminution means to pulverize something into a fine powder; in other words, Sagan says that Venus was born of an explosion on Jupiter that pulverized it. Sagan claims Venus, according to Vehkovsky, was born by an explosion of Jupiter. Moses Hadas, the eminent scholar of Greek, had stated, "One after another of the reviews misquote him [Velikovsky] and then attacked the misquotation. "16 Sagan has misrepresented Velikovsky's thesis for the birth of Venus from Jupiter and attacks the misrepresentation with the following. "To escape from Jupiter, such a comet must have a ...
458. Four Faces of Collective Psychology [Journals] [Horus]
... 800 kilometers from a 3500 year old volcano and add some genuine insight into our history, our sense of our ancestors and that incompletely deciphered book in most motel rooms which reads ". .. for three days there was deep darkness over the whole land of Egypt" (Exodus 10:21). The Psychoanalytic Schools:Beginning with Moses and Monotheism along with Freud's Totem and Taboo, a tradition of generalization from the clinic to collective psychology was initiated. The number of clinicians, expatriate clinicians and interdisciplinary scholars who have contributed to this movement is perhaps too cumbersome to even mention. Certainly the following have been significant works in the field: Norman O. Brown's Love's Body ...
459. The Newark Holy Stones [Journals] [Horus]
... the top rim may be all that is left of what Wyrick described as a kind of bronzing on it. There were linear grooves matching between the two halves. Two other little holes in the case didn't match in alignment. Inside was the most remarkable thingthe Decalogue Stone. On it was carved a priestly figure and the word, "Moses." Every surface was covered with Hebrew characters, even the edges. If you can follow it, it is the Ten Commandments - with some problems - as if, as a Rabbi from New York said at the time, it was carved by someone who had recently learned or had forgotten his Hebrew. But it could not ...

... ,000 electron volt energies, are compared, the Earth has 100 ions, Saturn has 10 ions, Uranus has 1 ion and Neptune has 0.5 ion per cubic centimeter, respectively; the Earth, Saturn and Uranus all have 100 electrons, compared to 10 electrons for Neptune. (38) According to S. L. Moses and F. V. Coroniti, "In terms of measured plasma content, Neptune has been reported, by investigators from the Voyager plasma science team, to possess the emptiest magnetosphere yet encountered...." (39) Once again, there was an attempt to explain, by the use of "other diagnostics,. ...
