Just for the sake of discussion, I have a question for the group. AssumingWell, despite what Walter claims, it is possible to reconstruct, at least speculatively, some of the history of Hebrew before the 10th century BCE. For example, it can be compared with Ugaritic and Amarna texts, admittedly not written by Israelites but indicating the state of the NW Semitic languages at that time.
that the Exodus actually occurred as it is described in the Bible and that it
was recorded by someone about the time of Joshua, what linguistic evidence
would we expect to find in the Scriptures?
I should think that the strongest evidence would be in those passages which
have been miscopied by a later scribe due to some change in the language that
obscurred the meaning.
Has anyone detailed the differences in the Hebrew language from a historical
perspective?
