Hi Yitzhak,

I've been reading your response over and over again and the only things I can conclude from it are one of the following:

1) You hold the Philistines to be indigenous with no invasion ever occurring
2) You hold that the Philistines invaded and settled an uninhabited land

Which of these two is it?

I have noted your comments but I think you still seem to be missing the
point. You are approaching this as if there was a single question:

1) Where did the philistines come from?

Whereas in reality there are two questions:

1) Where did the indigenous philistines come from?
2) Where did the invaders of the indigenous philistines come from?

Only when you realise that these are two separate issues do the references
to Philistines in Genesis become clear.

Hello James,

Don't you think before you go on to ask your questions you ought to ask if
there were indigenous Philistines separate from non indigenous Philistines?
Only if you conclude that there were two separate types of Philistines do
your questions make sense.
