... ) Granted that this belief became something of a pillar in Judaism, one should not expect later Jewish redactors to depict the venerated founder of their nation in any other light. If we adhere to the texts, however, we find that Abraham did not succeed in convincing his descendants to abandon all other gods but his, any more than Moses did. If he had, his grandson Jacob would not have had to confiscate the "strange gods" in his own household which, we notice, he did not even destroy, but merely hid under the oak at Shechem.(80) It is true that Abraham himself is presented in Genesis as something of a monotheist- ...
652. The Secret of Baalbek (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... of an unusual size- almost twenty meters long. Each of them weighs about one thousand tons. These huge monoliths are incased in the wall. The question arises whether they are not the survivals of the original cyclopean structure- that which carried the name Rehob, or Beth-Rehob, and which served as a landmark for the scouts dispatched by Moses in their survey of Canaan, and for the emissaries of the tribe of Dan in their search for the territory in the north. Like Stonehenge in Great Britain, or Tiahuanaco in the Andes, it may have originated in an early time- not necessarily neolithic, since it appears that these stones are subjected to hewing by metal tools ...
653. Velikovsky In Collision [Journals] [Kronos]
... be intended literally, of course, without being true. But literal intention, apart from mistake or lying, guarantees at least the witness's best effort at truth. Sometimes, again, literal testimony may be self-contradictory, and thus be rejected on logical grounds. Or it may be excluded on metaphysical grounds (if it mentions God showing to Moses his back parts, for example). But most of Velikovsky's evidence satisfies the conditions of consistency and secularity. Consequently I say that thesis III has strong support- since I take it we may with fair confidence exclude universal lying or mistake- from the evidence Velikovsky offers. I cannot forbear to add that thesis III opens up possibilities ...
654. Homo Schizo -- the Catastrophic Evolution of Man [Articles]
... communicates the sign of power and authority. As the batons of upper Palaeolithic man evidence, the club converts readily to a work of art, employing symbolism of lines, geometry, living things, carved depictions of the phallus. The club reaches into the sky to connect with shooting stars and comets as in the snake-entwined rods of Hermes and Moses. That's the simplest tool. The club represents the major areas of human interest: skill, subsistence, economics, power, safety, authority, sexuality, religion, aesthetics. So that if we knew when the club was first carried, we could say that that was a sound basis for fixing the gestalt of creation in time ...
655. Collective Amnesia: A Brief History of the Concept [Journals] [Kronos]
... extension of his investigation of the Atlantis myth, which is the subject of his first book, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882). Like Velikovsky, who developed his theory while reconstructing ancient Near East history, Donnelly's catastrophism is an extension of his fascinating synthesis. Whereas Velikovsky is led to follow the tale of a comet beginning with Moses and the Exodus, Donnelly's story begins with Plato and the destruction of Atlantis. Donnelly's theory, in capsule form, maintains that Atlantis was destroyed when, in his Velikovsky-like words (published sixty-seven years before Worlds in Collision), "a serpent-like comet struck the earth".(12) Additionally, like Velikovsky, Donnelly says- ...
656. A Time of Pestilence and a Shaking of the Earth [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... : Mahlon and Chilion, for example, mean "waste" and "consumption"; but the famine of Ruth may preserve the memory of a real famine at an indeterminate time within Judges. 11. James Meek, Hebrew Origins. New York: Harper, 1960, 31. Many Levites bear Egyptian names, e.g . Moses, Assir (two persons), Pashhur (four persons), Hophni, Phineas (three persons), Puti-el. 12. Philistines here maybe an archaism in the sense of the Deuteronomist compiler's (or priestly revisionist's) time. The Philistines rather than the Canaanites of dynasty XVIII and XIX were associated with the coastal plain of SW ...
657. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... the rising atomic oxygen and nitrogen into the single and double helixes which are equally popular in global iconography. The leather straps (phylacteries) wound around the left arm by pious Jews prior to prayer, and the serpent encircling the tree of life, are Hebrew remembrances of the illuminated spiraling electrons. The idea is also found in the serpent Moses made of brass, which he put upon a pole. Velikovsky himself stated: "The brazen serpent was most probably the image of a pillar of cloud and fire which appeared as a moving serpent to all people of the world." The Light of Noga The influence of Venus is never quite absent in Velikovsky's Exodus narrative, and ...
658. Aristotle's Tragedy: An Example of Collective Amnesia [Journals] [Kronos]
... of planetary and catastrophic origin. Stories of the adventures of various deities were inspired by the interactions of certain of the planets (Kronos and Zeus, Athena and Ares- now called Saturn and Jupiter, Venus and Mars), and stories of the adventures of various human characters may have been based upon real people (Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua) who lived at the time of cosmic or interplanetary cataclysms. Most of the human figures in Greek mythology, if they really lived, would have lived no later than the seventh century, since their stories seemed to have achieved stable form by then. According to Velikovsky's revised chronology for ancient times,(33) nearly ...
... the true God therein a temple, or place for public Divine worship and sacrifice; all which things may be very true for aught we know to the contrary. And for the word, or temple, as if it must needs belong to the great temple built by Solomon long afterward, Josephus himself uses, for the small tabernacle of Moses, Antiq. B. III. ch. 6. sect. 4; see also Antiq. B. lit. ch. 6. sect. 1; as he here presently uses, for a large and splendid synagogue of the Jews at Antioch, B. VII. ch. 3. sect. 3. (2 ...
660. Night of the Gods: Axis Myths [Books]
... of fresh storax, almond, and plant trees (Geli. xxx, 3y). The rod of Aaron (mountain) that grew' bloomed, and fruited, must clearly be connected with the marvellous Tree, the Mountain, and the Axis. The middle-age writers on the Occult4put the divining-rod in the same category with the rod of Moses, with which he struck the rock and brought forth water; with the golden sceptre of Ahasuerus, of which Esther no sooner touched the tip than she obtained all her desires; and even with the line in Psalm xxiii thy rod and staff, they comfort me." It was also the rod or wand of Pallas Athene with ...
