So extreme was this attack upon the Jewish Bible that, to quote a leading commentary at the turn of the century: "religious terms, ideas, institutions, once supposed to be peculiar to Israel, are now seen to be common to them and other nations; in some cases, moreover ... the latter half of the 19th century would itself have initiated the process." [ibid] This multi-pronged attack on the Jewish Bible, this rejection of biblical history, religion and ethics, was a vast creation of 19th-century Europe, an attack on the Jews led almost exclusively by German scholars like Eichorn, Vatke, Reuss, Baur, ...

... incident as recorded in Exodus, is it not revealing that Jubilees made no reference to it? But Antapanus did.

In his first career Moses served the ... worthy to be honored like a god, was named Hermes, because of his interpretation of the Hieroglyphics. Artapanus obviously spoke with clarity. His Moses was steeped in the religion of the Egyptians; he certainly would have some unlearning to do at the Burning Bush, where he first met Yahweh, on the slopes of Mount Sinai. With ...

... conclusion of Oedipus and Akhnaton Velikovsky protests that Freud's thesis in Moses and Monotheism tended to rob the Jews of their most famous prophet together with their priority in the development of religious monotheism. There Velikovsky wrote: Unless his inner motivations are understood, one is equally baffled by Freud's insistence on writing and publishing as his last book- almost as ... the eve of his departure from a long life he had to blast the Hebrew God, demote his prophet, and glorify an Egyptian apostate as the founder of a great religion.(3 ) Velikovsky goes so far as to suggest that Freud's conclusions with respect to Moses and the historical development of monotheism were neurotically motivated: When Freud approached ...

They would be ... refusal of the strong urge to reproduce the forms of the deity was probably built up in the mosaic period and later on maintained by the compulsive repetition of the highly ritualistic religion, with discipline maintained by the priesthood.
