  Dear Walter,The citations for K. Kitchen: Egyptians and Hebrews, From 
Ra'amses to Jericho.  in The Origin of Early Israel - Current Debate,  ed. by 
S.Ahituv and E. Oren. He touches on the subject briefly and refers to another 
article of his for more detail: The Tabernacle - A Bronze Age Artefact in: 
Eretz-Israel 24, p 119 following.  For a totally dofferent understanding of 
the subject,you may wish to look up the works of M. Haran who takes the whole 
subjectn of the Tabernacle as an idealization. A suitable brief bibliography 
can be found at the end ofthe entry Ark of the Covenant in ABD.  As for Amun 
orAmun-Re, you may wish to look up the wonderfully titled chapter" The Crisis 
of Polytheism" in De Moor's important book,  The Rise of Yahwism. The crisis 
he refers to occurs at the end of LB, not only in Egypt, but elsewhere in the 
ANE. The title of the chapter, incidentally, is taken from a book by Assmann. 
 Too many aspects of Amun-Re  relevant to features of Yahwism to be mentioned 
in this post. This is a well know subject. Best,    Uri

Dear all

I am looking for extra-Biblical Hebrew texts (printed or electronic =
format) roughly corresponding to the time of BH (i.e. not Rabbinic =
Hebrew).  Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Regards
Manie van den Heever

The only extra-biblical pre-Mishnaic texts I can think of are (1) =
Epigraphy,
(2) Dead Sea Scrolls,  (3) Ben Sira, and (4) the Samaritan Pentateuch.

For (1), see most recently S. Gogel (Scholars) for grammar, texts, and
glossary.
For (2), Garcia Martinez and Tigchelaar's (Brill/Eerdmans) The Dead Sea
Scrolls Study Edition is most accessible.
For (3), Beentjes' (Brill) The Book of Ben Sira in Hebrew is most =
accurate.

Electronically, (1) and (2) are available for Accordance; (2) are =
available
from Brill.
