Osiris and Isis represent later interpretations that corrupted the earlier pattern of Father, Son and Virgin Queen. This is due to syncretism among the Egyptians well after the time of Abraham.<br /><br />YHWH is a name that restored the older Nilo-Saharan context.<br /><br />You are asking great questions!Alice C.

But what are we to conclude as Christians if the gods Horus, Osiris, Hathor and Ra are the original idols of worship of the Horite influenced Israelites? By using the description Yahweh, was Israel and are we giving reverence to Horus and Ra? Please clarify this when you get a chance.BibleGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889577134118181997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-89789799117715278342014-02-07T08:59:41.922-08:002014-02-07T08:59:41.922-08:00The people of Yisrael were the biological descend...The people of Yisrael were the biological descendants of the Horites. Jews call their ancestors "Horim" which is Horite in English Bibles.<br /><br />There is very little said against Egypt in the Bible. In fact, Egypt is generally regarded as a safe place for God's people. During times of famine,the people of Canaan went to Egypt and received food there. It was to Egypt that the angel told Joseph to take Mary and the Christ Child. Egypt factors more positively in biblical narratives than negatively.<br /><br />The root HR appears among the Israelites. Moses' brother-in-law was Hur and Aaron's name in Hebrew is Harun. The Holy Name YHWH originated among Abraham's Nilo-Saharan ancestors in ancient Nubia. See this:<br />http://biblicalanthropology.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-nubian-context-of-yhwh.htmlAlice C.

Very helpful information here. Thanks.
...Hi Alice,<br /><br />Very helpful information here. Thanks.<br />I have a question on the origin of the word 'Hebrew'. As you mentioned, the 2 common explanations are 1) Eber and 2) Habiru. I understand that etymologically 'Habiru/Hapiru' would be a better fit with the HBR root but religiously and politically wouldn't the Israelites have abandoned Egyptian terms and gods (Horus, Ra, the nile) since the Exodus from Egypt and establishing Israel in Canaan was anti-Egyptian? Also, if the name YHWH connects to Horus, is Horus the real God of Israel?BibleGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889577134118181997noreply@blogger.com
