The other books of the Hebrew Bible are listed in The Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible.
Asherah was represented by wooden poles or trees, known as Asherah poles (Hebrew: אשרה), which were often placed near altars.
The Hebrew Bible mentions Asherah several times, often in a negative context.
Elder son of Adam and Eve, the first murderer and the first fratricide, from Hebrew Qayin, literally "created one" also "smith," from Semitic stem q-y-n "to form, to fashion." Figurative use for "murderer, fratricide" is from late 14c.
The names Cain and Abel are Latin/English transliterations of the Greek names as found in the Septuagint (2,000 year old Greek translation of the Hebrew).
These are in turn Greek transliterations of the Hebrew.
In Hebrew Cain is קין (qayin) and Abel is חבל (havel).
The word קין (qayin) means to acquire or possess something which is why Eve (chavah in Hebrew) said "I have gotten/acquired (qanah) a man" (Gen 4:1).
In Hebrew thought ones name (Shem in Hebrew literally meaning breath or character) is reflective of one’s character.
The Hebrew word for "again" is "asaph" meaning to add something, in this case the birthing of Abel was added to the birthing of Cain.
The Hebrew line reads gam bnei adam gam bnei ish, "both sons of adam, both sons of ish." Both nouns can simply mean a human being.
The King James Version reads the pair as a contrast in rank, and numbers the verse one lower than the Hebrew text does:
The Isaiah line is real, and its Hebrew does pair lo-ish and lo-adam, "not ish" and "not adam." The King James Version renders the same verse as a contrast between strong and weak:
In this verse the Assyrians fall by a sword the Hebrew calls neither ish nor adam.
The same pair turns up again in Psalm 62, where the King James Version again translates it as "men of low degree" and "men of high degree" (Psalms 62:9, KJV; Hebrew 62:10).
Yet, in the Hebrew Bible and Arabic Quraan there is a chosen people who go back to a man they both call Adam.
And dates are given for this Salal “Race” which by his Ranan “Name” as both a Shakhas-u “People” and a Shaaab “Tribe” or Salal “Race” is found between the (Hebrew/Chaldean Strong’s Numbers #119-132).
Baal is derived from the Semitic root: b'l (Akkadian: bēlu[m]; Hebrew: בעל, baʿal; Arabic: بعل, ba'l) and meant "lord" or "owner."
In the Hebrew Bible, Baal is often mentioned as a rival to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
The worship of Baal was frequently condemned by Hebrew prophets, and the Israelites are often portrayed as turning away from Yahweh to worship Baal, which led to various conflicts and punishments.
Elijah is a prominent prophet in the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and Islamic tradition, known for his role in upholding monotheism and performing miracles.
The evidence suggests that the Phœnician-Hebrew family, central to Semitic tradition, originated from Atlantis.
The Greeks, Phœnicians, and Hebrews share common deities and linguistic roots, suggesting an Atlantean origin.
The similarities between various ancient languages, including Chaldee, Hebrew, Arabic, and Chinese, support the theory of a common origin.
"All these and similar traditions are but mocking satires of the old Hebrew story--jarred and broken notes of the same strain; but with all their exaggerations they intimate how in the background of man's vision lay a paradise of holy joy--a paradise secured from every kind of profanation, and made inaccessible to the guilty; a paradise full of objects that were calculated to delight the senses and to elevate the mind a paradise that granted to its tenant rich and rare immunities, and that fed with its perennial streams the tree of life and immortality."
"The Buddhists and Brahmans, who together constitute nearly half the population of the world, tell us that the decussated figure (the cross), whether in a simple or a complex form, symbolizes the traditional happy abode of their primeval ancestors--that 'Paradise of Eden toward the East,' as we find expressed in the Hebrew.
It is the Garden of Eden of the Hebrews:
And these four rivers, as we have seen, we find in the Scandinavian traditions, and in the legends of the Chinese, the Tartars, the Singhalese, the Thibetians, the Buddhists, the Hebrews, and the Brahmans.
Now we know that the Phœnicians and Hebrews were of the same stock, used the same alphabet, and spoke almost precisely the same language.
If, then, the original seat of the Hebrews and Phœnicians was the Garden of Eden, to the west of Europe, and if the Phœnicians are shown to be connected, through their alphabets, with the Central Americans, who looked to an island in the sea, to the eastward, as their starting-point, the conclusion becomes irresistible that Atlantis and the Garden of Eden were one and the same.
Raphael Patai, in The Hebrew Goddess, finds the earliest demon with a similar name in the Sumerian King List.
The Alphabet of Ben Sira is a satirical Hebrew text, usually dated between the 8th and 10th centuries CE.
Gentiles before the Hebrew Adam.
Adam is father of the Hebrews / Jews.
La Peyrère’s Gentiles before the Hebrew Adam belong here.
He argued for two creations: Gentiles first, then Adam as Hebrew father.
Traditional Gnostic lists on this trail map several Archon names onto planets and Hebrew divine titles.
I read these as Gnostic name-echoes of Hebrew divine titles.
Planetary Archon names such as Iao, Sabaoth, Adonaios, and Elaios echo Hebrew divine titles.
First I define Elohim in Hebrew scripture.
Hebrew ʼĕlōhîm is morphologically plural.
In the Hebrew Bible, Elohim often takes singular verbs when it means Israel’s God.
The Hebrew subject behind the English “God” here is ʼĕlōhîm.
Hebrew places Elohim in the assembly of El, judging among elohim.
How I use the Hebrew layer: as the textual spine for “who / what is Elohim?” before any esoteric twelve list or Anunnaki parallel.
That is research language, not Hebrew lexicography.
How I use the twelve layer: as esoteric and on-site council structure (dyads, soulgroups, twelve faces), kept separate from the Hebrew meaning of Elohim.
How I use this section: shared “council of powerful ones” language across Hebrew and Mesopotamian trails helps Atlantis founder research.
Hebrew Elohim plus Psalm 82 give me a clean textual answer to what Elohim means and why council language appears.
Who are the 12 Elohim?In Hebrew scripture, Elohim means God, gods, or divine beings depending on context.
What does Elohim mean in Hebrew?ʼĕlōhîm is morphologically plural.
In the Hebrew Bible, Molech (also spelled Moloch or Molek) stands among the forbidden figures and rites tied to child offerings in Judah and among neighboring peoples.
Hebrew-facing translations often write Molech or Molek.
Sacrifice-term view (Eissfeldt 1935 onward): Hebrew mōleḵ parallels Punic mlk / molk, a type of sacrifice rather than a separate god’s name.
The Masoretic Hebrew differs (“Sikkuth your king… Chiun your images…”).
The Hebrew Bible never describes Molech’s appearance.
Who was Moloch?In the Hebrew Bible, Molech / Moloch is the figure or rite condemned in connection with forbidden child offerings (Leviticus, Kings, Jeremiah).
Molech / Molek follows Hebrew vocalization.
It was, at times, a place where certain pagan rituals, including child sacrifices, were allegedly performed to deities like Moloch or Baal, as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
The Valley of Hinnom is referred to in the Hebrew Bible, where it's associated with child sacrifice and idol worship (e.g., 2 Chronicles 28:3, 33:6; Jeremiah 7:31-32).
"Tophet" or "Topheth" is a term that originates from the Hebrew Bible and is closely associated with the Valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem.
Name: The term "Tophet" is believed to derive from either the Hebrew root word meaning "to burn" or from an Aramaic word that means "fireplace".Biblical References: It appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts relating to child sacrifice and idolatry (e.g., 2 Kings 23:10, Jeremiah 7:31).
Solomon is the main English name, from the Hebrew שְׁלֹמֹה (Shlomo or Shelomoh).
It means "peaceful", and it is the name the Hebrew Bible uses for the king who built the Temple.
His second Hebrew name is Jedidiah, "beloved of the Lord".
The name "Anakim" may come from a Hebrew root meaning "necklace" or "neck-chain," which may point to a distinctive physical or cultural feature.
Deuteronomy 2:11 counts the Anakim among the giants (the Hebrew is Rephaim; see Rephaites), a group often described in ancient texts as giants or mighty warriors.
(The KJV's Hebrew-based text reads "the remnant of their valley" at this point.)
The Zuzim, or Zuzites (Hebrew: זוּזִים, Zūzīm), are a tribe mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis.
It might derive from the Hebrew word "zīz" (זִיז), which translates to "moving things" or "things which move." This could imply a nomadic lifestyle or characteristic of the Zuzim.
This is the sole mention of the Zuzim in the Hebrew Bible, marking their brief but notable appearance in the scriptural narrative.
The word "Rephaite," or "Repha'im," comes from the Hebrew Bible and other ancient texts of the region.
The first theory says the word is Hebrew.
The second theory says Hebrew borrowed the word from another Semitic language.
Ugaritic Connection: More scholars link Hebrew "Repha'im" to the Ugaritic "rpum." That word means dead ancestors who were treated as half-divine.
The original Hebrew, though, uses the same word in both places.
So in the Hebrew Bible the Rephaites, or Repha'im, have two faces.
The Hebrew root רפא (heal) leads some to read these beings as dead ancestors.
The Ark of the Covenant is referred to by three main names in Hebrew:
“Aron Ha-Brit” {ארון הברית} – Meaning 'the Ark of the Covenant,' this name is common in the Hebrew Bible, especially in Deuteronomy and Joshua.
In Hebrew, they are known as the Irin, "Watchers," also mentioned in the Book of Daniel (chapter 4).
Mount Sinai (Hebrew: הַר סִינַי, Har Sīnay) is the mountain at which the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God, according to the Book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible.
Earlier mystical Hebrew sects organized the Watchers into an Archangel hierarchy.
In early Hebrew lore, the Irin were a high order of angels that sat on the supreme Judgment Council of the Heavenly Court.
In the Hebrew Bible Elohim often points to the Anunnaki, yet not every Elohim belongs to that group:
In the Hebrew Bible, "Elohim" often refers to the Anunnaki.
Elohiym, Elohim (Hebrew)
Ghostly figure (Hebrew Bible, 1 Samuel)
Asu was taught that Corpor, the Seen, was ruled over by Es, the Unseen. In the leaves the wind said Ee; in the ocean surge and in the storm’s roar, Oh; and in the winter’s whistle, Ih; and he called the Unseen, E-O-Ih; Eolin (Poit); Eolih (Zerl); Eloih (Fonece); Jehovih (Ebra, Hebrew); Wenowin (Algonquin); Egoquim (Huit); Ze-jo-is (China). Nor were these all, for there were many imperfections of His name.
According to Mauro Biglino, Elohim is a plural Hebrew term in the Old Testament that should remain untranslated, as it refers to multiple entities rather than a singular spiritual God.
"Elohim" is a term used in the Hebrew Bible.
In its most basic sense, it is one of the names for God in the Hebrew language.
Yahweh is the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, named by the four consonants YHWH, the tetragrammaton (literally “four letters”).
YHWH is four Hebrew consonants.
Paleo-Hebrew יהוה and theophoric Yeho-/Yahu-/Yo- names mark the same trail.
Francesca Stavrakopoulou is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion at the University of Exeter and the author of God: An Anatomy (2021), a book about how the ancient texts gave God a body.
Before exclusive YHWH worship dominates, the Hebrew trail still carries El titles: El Shaddai, El Elyon, El Olam.
In the Hebrew Bible, the Nephilim appear as mysterious figures of great size and strength.
The Hebrew Bible never gives a full biography.
Ancient versions often render the word as “giants.” Hebrew etymology often hears “fallen ones.” Interpreters disagree on whether they are the sons of God, the offspring of that union, or a third group already present.
In Hebrew that phrase is bene ha-Elohim, “sons of the Elohim.”
Hebrew נְפִילִים Nephilim.
Standard Hebrew shem means “name,” and by extension fame or renown in “men of renown.” Prism of Lyra and Tsarion read shem as airborne vehicle or rocketship, and Nephilim as “people from the rocket ships.” I explore that as paleo-contact etymology and quote it in full under how I use this trail.
It is not Hebrew Bible canon for most Jewish and Protestant readers.
Anakim are a people in the Hebrew Bible.
Michael Tsarion, in a live Names / rocket-ships line I keep on this trail, offers a paleo-contact reading of the Hebrew name:
Also referred to in the Hebrew as the, “People from the rocket ships.”
These Lyrans, as well as others, have been known by the Hebrew term “Nefilim,” erroneously translated as “giants.” Nefilim literally means “those who have come down.” Genesis 6:4 states: “The Nefilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterward — when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them.
They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” The original Hebrew term translated as “renown” is “shem,” which literally means airborne vehicle, possibly rocketship.
The Hebrew root n-p-l is often read as “fallen ones.” Both senses appear in tradition.
How does 1 Enoch differ from the Bible?The Hebrew Bible is brief.
It is Second Temple expansion, not Hebrew Bible canon for most Jewish and Protestant readers.
The Nephilim (/ˈnɛfɪˌlɪm/; Hebrew: נְפִילִים Nəfīlīm) are mysterious beings or people in the Hebrew Bible who are described as being large and strong.
The Hebrew word Nephilim is sometimes translated as "giants", and sometimes taken to mean "the fallen ones".
Elohim is a Hebrew word meaning "gods" or "godhood." It is plural in form, yet in the Hebrew Bible it most often refers to one God, the God of Israel.
The name comes from the Hebrew saraph, "burning" or "fiery." Christian tradition places them in the highest rank of angels.
Ophanim means "wheels," from the Hebrew ofan, "wheel." They are the wheels seen in Ezekiel's vision of the divine chariot, the merkabah.
Hashmallim comes from the Hebrew hashmal, a word in Ezekiel 1:4 that the King James Bible renders "amber." The Greek Septuagint uses elektron, and in modern Hebrew hashmal means "electricity." The Hashmallim are beings of shining light and hold the fourth rank in Maimonides' list.
Malakim is the Hebrew word for angels, meaning "messengers." It covers angels in general, whatever their order, and appears throughout the Bible for messengers or servants of God.
Ishim comes from the Hebrew אִישׁ (ish), "man," and means "manlike beings." Maimonides puts them in the tenth and lowest rank, the angels closest to the human world.
The Hebrews are a branch of the great family of which that powerful commercial race, the Phœnicians, who were the merchants of the world fifteen hundred years before the time of Christ, were a part.
The Hebrews carried out from the common storehouse of their race a mass of traditions, many of which have come down-to us in that oldest and most venerable of human compositions, the Book of Genesis.
Donnelly says the Deluge legends of the Hebrews, Aryans, Phoenicians, Greeks and Cushites, and of some American tribes, all point to the destruction of Atlantis.
There are enough points of difference to show that the American is not a servile copy of the Hebrew legend.
