Monotheism or Polytheism? The Hebrews were not monotheistic until their sojourn in Egypt and even after that had many references to goddesses and Baal. Elohim is a plural term. Jahweh is possibly a term combining male and female. Monotheism was not invented by the Hebrews. There was the Atenism in Egypt, Marduk in Babylon, Ahura Mazda In Zoroastrianism, Nasadiya Sukta in Vedic India. The Hebrews’ God was cruel, jealous, lustful, mean, lying, cheating and treacherous. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) The story of the foundation of monotheism for the Habiru. Possible fully manufactured stories to create unified story for the non-related Israelite tribes just as the United States has unifying stories (based on facts) of the Pilgrims and the founding of the nation. Circumcision is already practiced by the Egyptians before ‘God’ commands Abraham to do it for a sign of uniqueness. Circumcision: Circumcision became the badge of Judaism. There are many critics of this practice, but this non-Jew editor believes in the cleanliness of circumcision. The Muslims and the Bahai through their traditions understand Abraham as taking Ishmael to be sacrificed, not Isaac. Jacob’s brother Esau was the father of the Edomites. The Talmud uses this term for Gentiles. The irony is that just before Christ, the tribe of Judah conquers Edom and forcefully converts them to Judaism. [History timelines rarely change until the evidence is overwhelming. Secular history of Egypt has been standardized and only variates 10-20 years, yet sometimes secular history can leap centuries with new scholarship.] Abraham’s racket: Abraham lies to Pharaoh and says his wife Sarai, his wife, was his sister. Pharoah lays with her, then discovering the mistake offers Abraham much cattle, silver and gold. Abraham does it again with the Abimelech, the King of Gerar. He then makes alliances with other desert bandits and discovers a new Deity. Isaac was conceived by a visiting Chieftain, who then had his men destroy the homosexual Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham loved Ishmael and for one who publicly performed his religious rites, went to the mountain with Isaac to slay him, and then decides to keep him. Isaac plays Abraham’s racket by also offering his wife as his sister and received a hundred-fold in concessions. Jacob’s racket: He steals his brother Esau’s birthright. Esau is the father of Edom which converts to Judaism under the sword during the Maccabean age. The Twelve Tribes: The Jews began as an agglomeration of small tribes who later attained independence only in the interlude between the rise and fall of great empires. These tribes adopted/created Judaism and its history for unification. This is similar to all the nations composing America. Non-Abrahamic people become Jews. Joseph’s racket: ~1500 BC The Hyksos invade Egypt and only recently have been (?)verified as the Hebrews. Because of Joseph’s self-aggrandizement, his brothers sell him into slavery. In Egypt, Joseph’s financial acumen leads to his rise as overseer of Potiphar’s household. Potiphar’s wife claims that Joseph tries to rape her and he is thrown into prison. Joseph rises to become the top trustee of the prison and learns more about the royal house. Joseph becomes the most powerful man in Egypt. When drought and famine finally hit, Joseph hatches a scheme to increase his and the Pharaoh’s wealth and power. He tells the starving Egyptians that they must pay for the grain and “gathers up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt.” A severe depression occurs when the currency fails. So Joseph first takes away all the money of the free Egyptians, then all their domesticated animals, then their homes and lands, and finally he puts them back on the Pharaoh’s new land as slaves with 20 percent of their crop going to the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh is ecstatic with this arrangement, for his treasury is overflowing, and Joseph has taken away all the lands of the people and put them back on it working essentially as sharecroppers. At the same time the Egyptians are going through this misery, Joseph sends for and brings all of his Hebrew Brethren to Egypt. Genesis makes it quite clear that Joseph gives the Israelites bags of gold and food and that they “live off the fat of the land.” One can imagine what the Egyptians thought about Joseph taking all their lands and possessions and reducing them to slavery while the foreign Israelites are given gold, free food, and the best land in all of Egypt. The Egyptians had built a grand civilization with magnificent artistic and cultural achievements, and advances in mathematics, engineering, architecture, astronomy and agriculture. They had built the most enduring architectural creations in the world: the pyramids. How they must have chafed under the absolute power of this foreign tribe. According to Genesis and Exodus the arrangement persisted for a long time, suggesting that the Israelites were the privileged administrators of Egypt during a long period of time. The Pharaoh could count on them having no loyalty to the native aristocrats or merchant class of Egypt, and they might have served the Pharaoh’s purpose by directing the wrath of the people toward the Hebrews rather than toward the Pharaoh himself. At any rate, eventually the numbers and political and economic power of the Jews grew so excessive that even the royal family felt threatened — a pattern that has often been repeated in Hebrew history. Then are recorded dutifully the Egyptian pogroms against the Hebrews and Hebrew celebration of Egyptian infanticide and Hebrew expulsion and deliverance as represented in Passover. The Egyptian Pharaoh was not the last who sought to expel Jews from his land. Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann wrote the following about frequent hostile reaction to Jewish presence: “Whenever the quantity of Jews in any country reaches the saturation point, that country reacts against them. . . . [This] reaction . . . cannot be looked upon as Anti-Semitism in the ordinary or vulgar sense of the word; it is a universal social and economic concomitant of Jewish immigration and we cannot shake it off.” Joseph takes over as Treasurer of Egypt. Mark Twain perceived this as “We have all read the story of the years of plenty and the years of famine in Egypt, and now Joseph with that opportunity, made a corner in broken hearts, and the crusts of the poor, and human liberty; a corner whereby he took away the nation’s money to the last penny; took a nation’s livestock all away, to the last hoof; took a nation’s land all away, to the last acre. Then he took the nation itself, buying it for bread, man by man, woman by woman, child by child, till all were slaves; a corner which he took everything, leaving nothing, a corner so stupendous that by comparison with it, the most gigantic corners in subsequent history are but baby things; for it dealt in hundreds of millions of bushels, and its profits were reckoned by the hundreds of millions of dollars. It was a disaster so crushing that its effects have not wholly disappeared from Egypt even today, more than 3,000 years after the event. Was Joseph establishing a character for his race which survived long in Egypt, and in time would his name be familiarly used to express that characters; like Shylock’s?” Hammurabi was the sixth king of Babylon (that is, of the First Babylonian Dynasty) from 1792 BC to 1750 BC. His Codes as were other early nations were before Moses. There were 282 separate codes and they are easily compared to Moses’ Commandments 5-10. The Ten Commandments are unique as they base the Law on God and simplify the Laws. Monotheism from the Egyptians?: Akhenaten ("living spirit of Aten") known before the fifth year of his reign as Amenhotep IV (meaning Amun is Satisfied), was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt who ruled for 17 years and died perhaps in 1336 BC or 1334 BC. He is especially noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten, the solar deity, which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic. After his death, traditional religious practice was gradually restored. King Tutankhamun, who has been proved to be Akhenaten's son. Akhenaten remains an interesting figure, as does his queen, Nefertiti. Second Intermediate Period (1674–1549 BC) and the Hyksos Kastein: "Some (of the Jews) remained within the confines of Canaan, others settled down along the great military highway of the East, and in the neighboring deserts and wildernesses, where they led a nomadic existence, while a smaller section, driven by hunger, finally succeeded in reaching Egypt, where the Pharaohs took them under their protection." Kastein, "Everything was calculated to make these bands of emigrants to Egypt become disintegrated in that country, or to be swallowed up in other branches of the Semitic- race who had also emigrated thither. . . Yet no disintegration took place."
Tell El Amarna Letters: Letter No. 76, the governor says, "Behold, he (Abdi-Ashirta, a Habiru bandit chieftain), has now mustered all amelut gaz (sa.gaz) against Sigata and Ambi." The governor meant that a great alliance of bandits and cutthroats was menacing the empire. A considerable portion of Egyptian literature deals with the social distress of this period, when the Jews were undermining the greatest civilization known to man until that time. Thus, we have "Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage from a Hieratic Papyrus in Leiden," translated and published by Alan H. Gardiner in 1909. Gardiner translates: "Egypt was in distress; the social system had become disorganized; violence filled the land. Invaders preyed upon the defenseless population; the rich were stripped of everything and slept in the open, and the poor took their possessions. It is no merely local disturbance that is here described, but a great and overwhelming national disaster. The Pharaoh was strangely inactive." Another source, the famous Ipuwer Papyrus, says, "The towns are destroyed. . . years of noise. There is no end to noise. The fish in the lakes and rivers die, and worms, insects and reptiles breed prolifically." Manetho (see 250bc) He wrote that the Jews were descendants of the hated Hyksos usurpers and that they had spread leprosy and venereal disease in Egypt. He maintained that Jews had been expelled for their power-grabbing.
1220 B.C.E. - Earliest known reference to the Jews from non-Jewish sources, the Egyptian Mernephta stele, states "Israel is no more." 1200 B.C.E. - Lower Egypt’s remaining Jews are expelled at the end of the 19th Dynasty.
Herodotus, the Greek "Father of History" (484 – 425 BC) said that the Egyptians were the only ancient nation that performed circumcision. Did the Hebrews adopt this custom and then write their ‘history’. Herodotus does not even mention Israel or the Hebrews. The Bible itself lists several lost texts which were used in its composition. Yet how many other ancient stories were used and adjusted to fit into the Jew’s history? The Sumerian king Sargon myth-predates the bible by a thousand years--describes a woman putting her baby in a reed basket sealed with pitch in the euphrates river and the baby is found and raised into royalty. The Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from Mesopotamia, dates to the 18th century BC. The story centers on a friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from oppressing the people of Uruk. Together, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven, which the goddess Ishtar sends to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. As a punishment for these actions, the gods sentence Enkidu to death. The latter half of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's distress at Enkidu's death, and his quest for immortality. In order to learn the secret of eternal life, Gilgamesh undertakes a long and perilous journey to find the immortal flood hero, Utnapishtim. He learns that "The life that you are seeking you will never find. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." His fame however lived on after his death, because of his great building projects, and his account of what Utnapishtim told him happened during the flood. The Vedas ("knowledge") of Hinduism date to roughly 1500–1000 BCE. The Iron Age is the period generally occurring after the Bronze Age, marked by the prevalent use of iron. The adoption of these materials coincided with other changes in society, including differing agricultural practices, religious beliefs and artistic styles. In historical archaeology, the ancient literature of the Iron Age includes the earliest texts preserved in manuscript tradition. Sanskrit and Chinese literature flourished in the Iron Age. Other texts include the Avestan Gathas, the Indian Vedas and the oldest parts of the Hebrew Bible. The principal feature that distinguishes the Iron Age from the preceding ages is the introduction of alphabetic characters, and the consequent development of written language which enabled literature and historic record. The beginning of the Iron Age in Europe and adjacent areas is characterized by certain forms of implements, weapons, personal ornaments, and pottery, and also by systems of decorative design, which are altogether different from those of the preceding age of bronze.

The terms Jew or Judaism are shorthand words reflecting this conspiracy. The word Jew is medieval and had many forms and meanings. Israel is another term with many meanings. Judaism is based on racial separatism, deception, parasitism, crime, corruption, and violence. It is a survival strategy of living off of non-Jewish host communities, which are considered as subhuman. At this time in history, cities, governments, commerce, and money exist and are heavily exploited by the Jews. The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, describes the rules of Judaism. Note that the Jewish conspiracy is relatively consistent from the time of Moses to today due to its rules, rituals, traditions, racial unity, strong leaders, sacred books, and intolerance of dissent. Thank God for further Israelite prophets who condemned this Supremacy and spoke a type of Golden Rule to the Jewish tribe. (Read further notes on Inerrancy and Biblical Criticism.) The Talmud, which is the core of Judaism, supposedly is the transcript of the oral teachings of Moses along with three graduated commentaries.
 The Ten Plagues and the Crossing of the Red Sea are all very explainable in scientific and cultural terms. The ultimate proof of the ‘miracles’ being only a legend is that within 3 months, the Tribe is already building the golden calf and doubting Moses’ God. Who could doubt within 3 months of a holy miracle experienced by all?
The Ten Commandments: "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me..." "Do not make an image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..." "Do not swear falsely by the name of the LORD..." "Remember [zachor] the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (the version in Deuteronomy reads shamor, "observe") "Honor your father and your mother..." "Do not murder" "Do not commit adultery." "Do not steal." "Do not bear false witness against your neighbor" "Do not covet your neighbor's wife" The Ten Commandments are for the practice of Jews to one another. Their additional writings explain that their “neighbors” are fellow Jews only. Gentiles are nothing but animals, thus the commands such as not to murder or commit adultery, does not apply to them. There are slightly different numberings among Christian denominations. There is already considerable trade between Palestine and Southern Arabia (Yemen). [See theory that Old Testament Israel is in actuality in Yemen.] The real law of Moses: Exodus 21: 24 “eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.” Leviticus 24:19: Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner. Leviticus 24:20: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. Deuteronomy 19:21: Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. The labor of the Gentiles belongs to the Jews: “When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant…” Deuteronomy 6:10-11 Biblical Archeology – Christian identification with the Bible often leads to false preconceptions of discovered artifacts in Palestine. Beginning strongly in the later 19th century, the new science of Archeology was led by Biblical literalists, now called Maximalists. Within only the last few years has a new generation grown to understand artifacts within proper settings. No discoveries of Israelite history within Palestine have actually been found prior to the Exile. Recent discoveries hinting at David for example are hopeful misidentifications. These new archeologists are called Minimalists. Kamal Suleiman Salibi (5/2, 1929 – 9/1, 2011) was a Lebanese historian, professor of history at the American University of Beirut. A Protestant, he earned his PhD in London under the supervision of Professor Bernard Lewis. Salibi wrote three books advocating the "Israel in Arabia" theory. In this view, the place-names of the Hebrew Bible actually allude to places in southwest Arabia; many of them were later reinterpreted to refer to places in Palestine where the Hasmonean kingdom was established by Simon Maccabaeus in the second century BC. Jerusalem was actually New Jerusalem and then the ‘new’ was dropped. Modern examples would include New York, New Jersey, New England. There is a severe mismatch between the Biblical narrative and the archaeological findings in Palestine. ****The Saudis (crypto-Jews), afraid that Israelis might take Mr Salibi seriously and attempt to colonize the mountains of Sarawat, which the scholar believed was the Jordan valley referred to in the Bible, have bulldozed dozens of villages which contained buildings or structures from Biblical antiquity. Abodes were turned into rubble in line with Wahhabi ideology that legitimized destruction of anything that could be construed as idol worship. Over 98% of the Kingdom's historical and religious sites have been destroyed since 1985, according to the U.K.-based Islamic Heritage Research Foundation. Recent Archeological Discoveries: In the late 20th century, both real substantial discoveries and co-mingling frauds have been found. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves near Qumran in 1946-7 and began to be photographed and analyzed in 1948. The interpretations and public viewing have been monopolized by Jews and only recently after fifty years are being completely (?) published. They are a collection of 972 documents, including pictures of unicorns and dinosaurs and some biblical terms, the scrolls were found on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. They are written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, mostly on parchment, but with some written on papyrus. These manuscripts generally date between 150 BCE and 70 CE. They belonged to either Essenes or Zadokites. They are roughly 1/3 "Biblical" manuscripts, 1/3 "Apocryphal" or "Pseudepigraphical" and 1/3 "Sectarian". The Nag Hammadi library is a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts discovered near the Upper Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi in 1945. Twelve leather-bound papyrus codices buried in a sealed jar were found. The writings in these codices comprised fifty-two mostly Gnostic treatises, but they also include a partial translation/alteration of Plato's Republic. They were perhaps buried after non-canonical books were condemned in 367 AD. The best-known of these works is probably the Gospel of Thomas. The Ebla tablets are a collection of as many as 1800 complete clay tablets, 4700 fragments and many thousand minor chips found in the palace archives of the ancient city of Ebla, Syria. The tablets were discovered in 1974–75, and date to the period between ca. 2500 BC and the destruction of the city ca. 2250 BC. They illustrate daily life.
“Following 70 years of intensive excavations in the Land of Israel, archaeologists have found out: The patriarchs' acts are legendary stories, we did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, we did not conquer the land. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon. Those who take an interest have known these facts for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and doesn't want to hear about it. This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom. And it will come as an unpleasant shock to many that the God of Israel, YHWH, had a female consort and that the early Israelite religion adopted monotheism only in the waning period of the monarchy and not at Mount Sinai.” - 10/29, 1999 from Ha'aretz Magazine The Bible tells of Moses wandering with his people in the Wilderness for 40 years, or symbolic of a generation. The Egyptians being traders with the Canaanites had shared the story of these Hebrew supremacists who had wrecked their society. Taking the Biblical story as history, these Hebrews or Habiru migrated to the outlying areas of Canaan or Palestine and joined together with other rebels, outlaws, raiders, mercenaries, and bowmen, servants, slaves, migrant laborers, etc. Their oral stories began to be written down and adopted as their national identity, this new “Israel”. They had a generation to regroup and militarize before descending upon the villages and cities of the plain and destroying them bit by bit. Joshua then led them to: The tale of armed conquest is intrinsically so incredible that Philo Judaeus, one of the ablest of the Jews' apologists and propagandists, who, in the early years of the First Century, tried to convince intelligent Greeks and Romans that the Jews were not a menace to civilization, had to admit (Hypoth. 6.5-8) that the story was preposterous and that what must have happened was that the Canaanites voluntarily permitted the Jews to penetrate their country peacefully and set up synagogues and the rest of the Jewish racial organization, after which the Jews, of course, took over.  Canaanite religion is the name for the group of Ancient Semitic religions practiced by the Canaanites living in the ancient Levant from at least the early Bronze Age through the first centuries of the Common Era. Canaanite religion was polytheistic, and in some cases monolatristic. Monolatrism is the recognition of the existence of many gods, but with the consistent worship of only one deity. Canaanite religion was strongly influenced by their more powerful and populous neighbors, and shows clear influence of Mesopotamian and Egyptian religious practices. Like other people of the Ancient Near East Canaanite religious beliefs were polytheistic, with families typically focusing worship on ancestral household gods and goddesses, the Elohim, while acknowledging the existence of other deities such as Baal and El. The religion of the ancient kingdom of Judah was an amalgamation of local Canaanite traditions. Yahweh is believed to be by some modern scholars in origin a Canaanite deity, Jerusalem was in origin a Jebusite city with the tutelary deity Tsedek.
 ****Biblical Atrocities: Pogroms against Gentiles
The following is a partial list of the many people that the Israelites destroyed with their Chosen People mentality. Christians suggest that Israel needed to cleanse the land of immorality and idolatry, but the rest of the Old Testament shows the assimilation of immorality and idolatry into the people of Israel and even more, including ritual sacrifice of their own first born. Genesis 17 Israel fought the Amalekites “[1] When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, and he clears away many nations before you ~ the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you – [2] and when the Lord your God gives them over to you and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy” (Deut 7:1-2). Number 21:3 “…and they (Israel) utterly destroyed them (Arad Canaanites) and their cities.” Numbers 21: 24 “Then Israel defeated him (Sihon, king of the Amorites) with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land.” v32 “they took its (Jazer) villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.” v35 “So they (Israel) defeated him (Og, king of Basham), his sons, and all his people, until there were no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.” Numbers 25:1 (Israel) began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.” Numbers 31: 7 “And they (Israel) warred against the Midianites…and killed all the males….and they took all the women of Midian captive….took spoil…and burned the cities.” Moses commands the murder of approximately 100,000 young males and, roughly, 68,000 helpless women. Joshua 6: 21 “And they (Israel) utterly destroyed all that was in the city (Jericho)…. Joshua 8: 25 “So it was that all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand –all the people of Ai….took spoils and burned the city.” Joshua 10 Joshua hangs 5 kings and v37: “…but utterly destroyed it and all the people who were in it.” Even though some Canaanites tribes join Israel, out of fear, most are slaughtered. The Canaanites are said to have been one of seven regional ethnic divisions or "nations" driven out before the Israelites following the Exodus. Specifically, the other nations include the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites (Deuteronomy 7:1). "And Gideon said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers" (Judges 8:7) "Now Zebah and Zalmunna were Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword." (Judges 8:10) "And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter." (I Samuel 6:19) "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." (I Samuel 15:2-3) "And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under the axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem." (II Samuel 12:31) II Chronicles 17-19 tells us that David killed 22,000 Syrians and that Abishai killed 18,000 Edomites. In 20:3, David slaughters captives after the cessation of hostilities. "And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes..." (I Chronicles 20:3) So the LORD smote the Ethiopians (over a million) before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. (II Chronicles 14:12) The rest of the Old Testament continues prophesying and showing fulfillments. "Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." (Isaiah 13:15-16) In the 1954 history, “Our Oriental Heritage”, Will Durant tells us: “The conquest of Canaan was but one more instance of a hungry nomad horde falling upon a settled community. The conquerors killed as many as they could find, and married the rest. Slaughter was unconfined, and was divinely ordained and enjoyed. Gideon, in capturing two cities, slew 120,000 men; only in the annals of the Assyrians do we meet again with such hearty killing. (Or taking Salibi’s theory, they migrated to the trading area of Asir, southwestern Arabia and established themselves there through conquest.)
