Moses or Epstein? Which one has more documentation now?

[PIF]

Of course ‘Moses’ is a very rare name ... jumping to conclusion is always the best idea. Right?

Any source that uses the idiotic “BCE” date label is suspect.

The Bible doesn’t need historical or archeological corroboration, as nicely affirming as it sometimes may be. The historical reliability of the biblical text has been proven many times over.

A lad, grown too tight, one supposes,
Was dreadfully sore with phimosis
The doctor said, “Why,
Circumcision we’ll try...
A plan recommended by Moses.

Owie owie

1800 B.C. seems a bit too early to be the Moses of the Bible. Dating of the patriarchs is problematic. The first fixed point is the Merneptah stele from about 1220 B.C. which shows that the Israelites were in the land of Canaan by then.

But it looks like the Hebrews invented the zot. Who knew?

Well it is obvious that this is a significant discovery because there is the standard checkered ruler right beside it. It has been my observation that every time an archeologist finds one of those checkered rulers an important discovery is made close by. Maybe we should tune our satellites to look for those checkered rulers and we would find many more significant pieces of history much faster.

I would have no idea what I was holding? If I understood it and its authentic, WOW.

I’d be Gabb smocked and probably drop it.
