>>18413860>This doesn't disprove Hebrews taking Babylonian legends as their own.The Israelites (or Abraham) came from Chaldea, no wonder their 'legends' had many commonalities. Would you expect two accounts of the same general events to be radically different? NO!!! MuST bE PlaGeRismz!! Ohhh but i though these Israelites were just wandering Caananite offshoots? What an ugly web you tangle just because you don't wish to take the bible, a meticulous chronological history seriously.
>or they just fucking sucked as a people getting kicked out all the timeTHAT'S THE WHOLE POINT DICKHEAD!!
Hosea 9:3-7 (KJV):
"They shall not dwell in the Lord's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted..."
Hosea 11:5-6 (KJV):
"He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return."
Isaiah 10:5-6 "O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets."
