The story of the Israelites departure from Egypt is found in what?
The book of Exodus.
Who was first in the Bible Moses or Noah?
Noah. The Story of Noah and the Flood are found in the book of Gensis where Story of Moses and the Israelites is found in the book of Exodus.
Were the Israelites were the first inhabitants of Israel?
People had lived in the area that became known as Israel for thousands of years before the time of the Israelites. Whether we accept the biblical story of the military conquest of Canaan or the historical account that they were actually dissident Canaanites who left the coastal cities and settled in the sparsely populated mountainous hinterland, they were following in the footsteps of those who were there before them.
Do Egyptians believe in the Bible story of the Israelites and the wilderness story?
no, they have no record of it in secular history.
How did the Israelites end up in Canaan?
A:The Bible says that God had promised the land of the Canaanites to the children of Abraham. After a long sojourn in Egypt, during which they were enslaved, the Israelites escaped in a great Exodus across the Red Sea and then wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Under the great military leader, Joshua, they conquered Canaan and massacred the people, as told in the Book of Joshua. Fragments of another story, in which the conquest took place under Caleb, can also be found in Judges chapter 1. Archaeology tells a different story in which the Israelites emerged from among the local Bronze age Canaanites. It is now the consensus of scholars that there was no Exodus from Egypt, as described in the Bible, and that the Hebrew people were originally Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to migrate to the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland.The Oxford History of the Biblical World says that intensive archaeological research since the 1970s has demonstrated a gradual proliferation of small rural settlements concentrated in the hill country of southern Canaan from around 1200, the beginning of Iron Age I (Carol A. Redmount, Bitter lives).
Who was the military leader that led the Israelites into the promised land?
According to the Book of Joshua, the brilliant military commander, Joshua, led the Israelites to conquer Canaan, with the help of God.The strong consensus of modern historians is that the Israelites never conquered Canaan, that they were themselves rural Canaanites who migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. Lawrence E. Stager says ('Forging an Identity', in The Oxford History of the Biblical World) of the thirty one cities said to be taken by Joshua and the Israelites, twenty have been plausibly identified with excavation sites. Of these, only Bethel and Hazor show evidence of cultural discontinuity consistent with an invasion, and it is even debated whether the destruction of Hazor XIII was as late as that of Late Bronze Age Bethel. There was no conquest of Canaan - the story of Joshua and his military genius evolved centuries later, to provide the Hebrew people with a glorious past.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-joshua-explained
Were the Israelites in political or spiritual slavery?
There is no evidence at all of the israelites ever being in Egypt. The Egyptians kept detailed records of their everyday lives, but never mentioned the Israelites. There is no archaeological evidence of large-scale Hebrew presence in Egypt, nor of the 40 year sojourn in the desert, nor of the conquest of Canaan. The respected Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars believe that the slavery and Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt did not really happend as described in the Bible. The Israelites were not enslaved in Egypt, politically, physically or spiritually. The story of Moses and the Exodus arose centuries after the time the events supposedly occurred.
What is the setting in the story of Joseph the Dreamer?
The story of Joseph the Dreamer is set in ancient Egypt and Canaan, during a time when the Hebrews were living as shepherds and Joseph eventually rises to power in Egypt. The story spans different locations, from Joseph's family home to Egypt's palaces and prisons.
What name that means ''i am who I am'' and what book is the story of israelites' departure from egypt?
The name is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. The Israelites' departure from Egypt is in the book of Exodus.
Did God give the people of Canaan a chance of changing their ways?
A:There is no suggestion in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Joshua, that the Canaanites were in need of changing thier ways. The Bible describes them as helpful to the Patriarchs before the Egyptian sojourn, and attributes no great evil to the Canaanites as a nation. The story simply says that the Israelites wanted their land, believed that it had been promised to them by their God, and so went in and took it. The Book of Joshua actually portrays the Canaanites as the innocent victims and the Israelites as the genocidal invaders! In defence of the Israelites, it is worth mentioning that most scholars now believe there was no Exodus from Egypt or military invasion of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves and that they migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their origins, the Hebrew people developed the legend of a glorious past and of great military victories.
Why did Noah punish Canaan instead of Ham?
In the Bible, after Ham saw his father Noah naked and told his brothers, Noah cursed Canaan instead of Ham. This was likely symbolic of the consequences passing down to future generations, as Canaan was believed to be the ancestor of the Canaanite people who were the enemies of the Israelites. It was a form of punishment that extended beyond just Ham himself.
How well did Israel follow God's command to possess the land of Canaan?
A:According to the Book of Joshua, the Israelites followed God's command to the letter, committing mass murder and genocide everywhere they went, until the Canaanites were all but extinct. It would be fair to say on behalf of the Israelites that archaeologists say there is no evidence of an military invasion of the land of the Canaanites. Jericho, Ai and every other city tell a different story from that in the Bible. Scholars say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves, who migrated peacefully from the region of the coastal cities into the Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their real origins, the Israelites developed this legend of a glorious past.
