The names of their oldest letters, from Alpha to Tau, agree so exactly with the names of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, with which the Phenician will have been nearly connected, that we cannot doubt that the Hebrew was the origin of the Phenician.
But the form of their letters differs so entirely from that of the Phenician and Hebrew writing, that in that particular no connection can be thought of between them.

17) is the Hebrew form of this, and the Apache Nantan seems to have some affinity to it.
The word Elohim is probably derived from the Hebrew word " Alah " to swear, in support of which we have the Arabic "Allah", God, an almost identical word.
Of Shem, Wellhausen thinks, taking the Hebrew meaning of the word — "Name" — that "sons of name" as opposed to "sons of no name," (Job XXX.
V, "sons of base men") would denote the pure-blooded Hebrews in antithesis to the subject Canaanites.
Of Ham, the Encyclopaedia Britannica tells us that, "on the assumption that these early genealogies are geographical rather than personal or even ethnological, the name, which in Hebrew radically signifies "hot," would seem to indicate the torrid zone; and this inference, though not supported, so far as has hitherto been discovered, by any corresponding explanation of the names of Shem and Japheth, at least harmonizes well with the fact that on the whole Shem seems intended to denote the intermediate and Japheth the northern regions of the world as known to the compiler of the book of Genesis." With regard to the statement concerning the corresponding significance of the names of Shem and Japheth to Ham, this appears to be modified by what Mr.
Winged bulls, sculptured in stone, and other creatures at the gate of an Assyrian temple or palace were called Kirubu, (whence the Hebrew Kerubim, English "Cherubim",) and represented guardian spirits.
Schrader takes all the old cosmogonical legends as myths, and thinks the Hebrews learnt of the Flood in Ur of the Chaldees.
The Bible, economic of facts, appears to be almost solely the history, not altogether, as has been stated, of the race of Adam, but of the Hebrew race ; and I think that in considering archaic man, we are too prone to place undue importance on the Israelites being sprung direct from Adam without any evolution from a pre- race.
On The Mission of the Ancient Hebrew People Steiner sees Abraham as the turn away from it: the substitution of Isaac with a ram symbolised the renunciation of the last remnants of ancient clairvoyance.

Then God withdrew His protection for a while; and the former love of the Egyptians towards the Hebrews was turned into implacable hatred.
Afterwards the king exacted from them their labour without pay; he built a great castle, and required the Hebrews to erect it for him at their own cost.
The Egyptians, effeminate, and hating work, fond of pleasure and display, had envied the prosperity of the Hebrews, who had thriven in Goshen, and whose wives bore sometimes six and sometimes twelve infants at a birth.
But before pursuing the history of the oppression of the Hebrews, we must relate some events that had occurred before this time.
Balaam formed chariots and horses and fighting men of wax, plunged them in water, which he stirred with palm twigs; and it was seen by all who stood by, that the men and horses representing the Egyptians and Hebrews floated, whereas those representing the Ethiopians sank.
To repel them, the Hebrews were summoned from the land of Goshen, but the Egyptians would not receive their allies into the camp, fearing lest they should unite with their kindred nations, and deliver them up to destruction.
But Zepho, full of confidence, led the combined army against the Egyptians, repulsed them at every point, and drove them back upon the camp of the Hebrews.
The Hebrews pursued them to the confines of Ethiopia, cutting them down all along the way, and then they desisted and returned: and on numbering their band, they were but a handful, they found that they had not lost one man.
Thus the Hebrews were puffed up with pride, regarding themselves as invincible; and the Egyptians were filled with dread, lest this small people should resolve on seizing upon the supremacy, and should subjugate them.
Therefore the reigning Pharaoh and his council assembled to consult what should be done; and this was decided:"The cities Pithom and Rameses (Tanis and Heliopolis) are not strong enough to withstand a foe, therefore they must be strengthened." And a royal decree went forth over all the land of Egypt and Goshen, commanding all the inhabitants, both Egyptians and Hebrews, to build.
At the close of the first day, the Hebrews had made a large number of bricks; and this number was now imposed upon them as the amount of their daily task.
Thus passed a month, and by degrees the Egyptian workmen were withdrawn, yet the Hebrews were paid the regular wage.
When a year and four months had elapsed, not an Egyptian was to be seen making bricks and building; and the wage was stopped for the future, but the Hebrews were kept to their work.
But matters grew worse; the Edomites and Hittites again threatened Egypt, and Pharaoh ordered a closer guard to be kept, and heavier tasks to be laid upon the Hebrews.
When 125 years had elapsed since Jacob came into Egypt, the fifty-fourth year after Joseph's death, the elders and councillors of Egypt presented themselves before Pharaoh, and complained to him that the people increased and multiplied and became very great in the land, so that they covered it like the bushes in the wood; and two of the king's councillors, of whom one was Job of Uz, said to Pharaoh, "It was well that heavy tasks were laid upon the Hebrews, but that doth not suffice; it is needful that they should be diminished in number as well as enslaved.
Therefore give orders to the nurses to kill every male child that is born to the Hebrews, but to save the women children alive."
Pharaoh summoned the two Hebrew midwives before him; they were mother and daughter; some say their names were Jochebed and Miriam, but others Jochebed and Elizabeth.
And when Pharaoh found that the men-children were saved alive, he shut up the two midwives, that the Hebrew women might be without their succour.
A child shall be born among the Hebrews who shall bring them with a strong hand out of Egypt, and before whom all thy nations shall be as naught.
The king hesitated not; he appointed Egyptian women to be nurses to the Hebrews, and instructed them to drown all the male children that were born; and he threatened with death those who withstood his decree.
And that he might know what women were expecting to be delivered, he sent little Egyptian children to the baths, to observe the Hebrew women, and report on their appearance.
This, and one thing more, have we learnt from the stars, Water will be the cause of his death;8 but whether he be an Egyptian or an Hebrew child, that we know not."
"Very well," said Pharaoh; "then in future all male children, Egyptians as well as Hebrews, shall be cast indiscriminately into the river."
Now when it was noised abroad that Pharaoh would slay all the sons of the Hebrews that were born to them, Amram thrust away his wife, and many others did the same, not that they hated their wives, but that they would spare them the grief of seeing their children put to death.10 After three years, the spirit of prophecy came on Miriam, as she sat in the house, and she cried, "My parents shall have another son, who shall deliver Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians!" Then she said to her father, "What hast thou done?
But Pharaoh, filled with anxiety, lest a child should have escaped him, sent Egyptian women with their nurslings to the houses of the Hebrews.
On reaching the bathing-place she observed the ark lodged among the bulrushes, and sent one of her maids to swim out and bring it to her; but the other servants said, "O princess, this is one of the Hebrew children, who are cast out according to the command of thy royal father.
"Truly," said Bithia, "the Hebrews are to be pitied, for it is no easy matter to part with a child, and to deliver it over to death."
If thou wouldst have a Hebrew woman, then let me fetch one, and the child will suck at once."18
This advice pleased Bithia, and she bade Miriam seek her out a Hebrew mother.
This child is of Hebrew extraction, and is wiser and more cunning than befits his age.
Moses went daily to Goshen to see his relations; and he observed how the Hebrews were oppressed, and groaned under their burdens.
And he said to the Hebrews, "Be of good cheer, relief is not so far off as you suppose, calm follows storm, blue sky succeeds black clouds, sunshine comes after rain.
In order that this decree might be executed with greater certainty, ten labourers were placed under one Hebrew overseer, and one Egyptian task-master controlled the ten overseers.
The duty of the Hebrew overseers was to wake the ten men they were set over, every morning before dawn, and bring them to their work.
Now Moses was known to the Hebrews as merciful, and ready to judge righteously their causes; so the man ran to Moses, and told him that he had found the Egyptian task-master concealed in his house.
Then Moses looked on the Hebrews who had crowded round, and he said to them, "God has declared that ye shall be as the sand of the sea-shore.
Now when the man of the Hebrews returned home, he drove out his wife Salome, because he had found the Egyptian concealed in his house, and he gave her a writing of divorcement, and sent her away.
Then the Hebrews talked among themselves at their work, and some said he had done well, and others that he had done ill.
Moses had the staff of the Tree of Life in his hand; then Jethro cried out, "This is a man called of God to be a prince and a great man among the Hebrews, and to be famous throughout the world." And he gave him Zipporah, his daughter, to be his wife.34
When they appeared before Pharaoh, they said: "God hath sent us unto thee to bid thee let the Hebrews go, that they may hold a feast in the wilderness."
Then Moses and Aaron met Pharaoh in the morning as he went by the side of the river, and Moses said to the king, "The Lord of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness."
After the plague of the darkness, Pharaoh resolved on a general massacre of all the children of the Hebrews.
Then every one among the Hebrews who had an Egyptian neighbour said to him, if he was rich: "I am going to a feast in the country, I pray thee lend me jewels of gold and silver to adorn my wife and children."
The children of Israel would have spoiled the dead, but Moses forbade them, for he said, "It is lawful to spoil the living, but it is robbery to strip the dead." Nevertheless many of the Hebrews went in and took from the Egyptians all that was valuable.
It is a common tradition among the Jews that the red hair which is by no means infrequently met with in the Hebrew race is derived from this period; all those who had sinned and drank of the water lost their black hair and it became red, and they transmitted the colour to their posterity.
Moses therefore announced to the Hebrews, who continued their murmurs, that, in punishment for their stiffneckedness and rebellion, they were condemned by God to wander for forty years in the desert.
The Karoun of the Mussulmans is clearly identical with Korah, but Karoun in Hebrew means Anger, and Karoun was supposed to be the Angel of the Anger of the Lord, and the story of his emerging from his pit to punish the sinful Israelites is simply a figurative mode of saying that the anger of the Lord came upon them.

Understand also by this red Sea, not of the Gulf of Arabia, but all that length of the Ocean which is saild about from the Gulf of Arabia to the Gulf of Persia, which is either the red or Erythraean sea, or more properly the Idumaean, from Esau or Edom, whose posterity inhabited the borders of that Sea, which in the Hebrew is Edom, in the Greek Erythraean, in the Latin Red, from whom this Sea took its name, not from the colour, but derived from the first Prince.
Where by the famous Nile the sea is changed.The desert is stretched from the border of the sea of Alexandria, & continued along by the border of the gulf of Arabia, wch by a name largely taken the Hebrews call the flood of Egypt, where it disgorges it self into the Red Sea, and that is it which is meant in Exod.

Therefore the Hebrews wrote before Moses.

There are those who by all the earth, understand all the earth beyond Palestine, and will have Europe in that sense, particularly called one Island, according to Hebrew authors, if they conjecture that the Sons of Japhet did sail to Europe, and divided those vast tracts of land, which that the most famous quarter of the earth contains, within the third generation of the sons of Iaphet; which observe, for here is the third, only in the lines ascending to the sons of Iaphet.
Yea if they conjecture, that those sons of the third generation of Iaphet, did not only assign themselves Europe, because Europe is called one Island by the Hebrews, and because it is here written; That the Islands of the Gentiles were divided in their Countries by the sons of Japhet, according to their tongues and families; how uncertain a faith do they build upon such weak conjectures, especially upon the Hebrew speech, which is so much famouus in its signification, and so strange, that it speaks almost nothing but Figures?

Such mysteries seem to me very well to be titled, Holy draughts, Parables, or Similitudes, as the Apostle called them in that place of the eleventh Chapter to the Hebrews, where Isaac is presupposed, as a figure of Christ, to have laid down his life under the knife, and according to that Parabolical death, resembling the death of Christ, he is presupposed to rise according to the similitude of the resurrection of Christ: Where Abraham, I say, is presupposed to have sacrificed his son Isaac, and to have received him again in Parable, or similitude of resurrection; which the Apostle purposely, and very subtilly observed.
As also the Hebrews are said all to be taken by God in the hand of Abraham their Father, Isay 41.
They are, I say, thought dead in Christ, by similitude, parable, and fiction, mystically, as Isaac was supposed killed by his father, as before out of the eleventh Chapter to the Hebrews.
Melchisedech was a Gentile, for he was not a Jew, which he has clearly set down in his Epistle to the Hebrews.

From the tale of the priests at Sais we know that great Germanic bands fought in Atlantis itself with the red Atlantic Hebrew devil race and sank with Atlantis.
Since the red Hyksos, the Hebrews, thrown out of Egypt, have only a history full of dirt behind them, the history of the Aias and of their twelve Asen families is to be falsified into a history of the Jewish people, so that this people may appear to the other peoples as a people with an imposing, mighty, historical, and god-graced past, and so that the necessary national pride may awake in it, which can drive it to win world rule.
The history of the twelve Asen becomes a history of twelve alleged Hebrew tribes.
The Hebrew philosopher Philo says the literal sentences of the Bible are fabulous, and in the allegory we must recognize the truth.
After II Kings 22 an ancient, presumably walled-in book was found in the temple, which the Hebrew high priest Hilkiah could not read.
Plainly it had been written in the speech of the original Germans subjected by the Hebrews, and had first to be translated by the scribe Shaphan.
So Germanic reading came into Hebrew hands.
Since the Hebrew priests feared he might say the truth and put an end to their people's fraud, he had to die.

It is found in Jesus Sirach 49:14, a piece likewise falsified by the Hebrews, an original Germanic writing, presumably an old Germanic collection of sayings.
The hill Golgotha was likewise an ancient cult place of the Canaanite Germans subjected by the Hebrews, so that the connection of the evangelical Jesus with the place of the skull need not surprise one.

Osiris was wounded by Set-Typhon, Satan, so by Satan Hebrews, and thereby, like Jesus, received a mark on his body.

The translator says the Hebrew and Arabic word will not bear a positive pronouncement, and that the importance of the epoch obliges him to say so.
What was found there, hieroglyphs, quipos, and astronomical observations anterior to that use, goes back more than five thousand years, that is to an epoch anterior to the one the Hebrew text gives to the universal deluge.

He quotes Hebrews 2:3-4, and says Paul was speaking to Christians, Hebrews who had accepted Christ, people he expected would in some future incarnation be among the new chosen people, who would willingly follow a leader and evolve love and spiritual perception, the intuition which shall succeed self-seeking and reason (pp.

in the Hebrews, and possibly also the Persians, we behold tribes of ancient Atlantis, who preserved the tradition of Monotheism and Soul-Worship in greater purity
the Hebrews are a tribe descended of a remnant of the Atlantian people; and the terror of the catastrophe that destroyed their continent may have impressed itself on their minds so hereditarily, that their conceptions of God were more inclined to Fear than Love.
202 and 203 (Hebrews and possibly Persians as tribes of ancient Atlantis, and a remnant marked by the catastrophe), p.
203 it is a continent destroyed in a catastrophe, from which the Hebrews are a remnant.

The later one is the speech usually called Assyrian, close enough to Hebrew that it was read first.
"Shinar" is the Hebrew spelling of the old name of Lower Chaldea.

Ezekiel's ruach, by contrast, is a ruach in the Hebrew.
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ruach turns up and hovers hawk-like—that’s the word in the Hebrew—and again, the ruach, the vortices of wind, start terraforming the planet, separating salt water from fresh water and creating dry land.
