Karl: Prior to the Iron Age, the amount of alphabetical pre-Hebrew writing is tiny. Yes, it existed, but it was rare and in a rudimentary developmental stage. There’s no way that the glorious, lengthy, detailed, truly ancient Patriarchal narratives could have been recorded by a contemporary of the events using alphabetical pre-Hebrew writing in the Bronze Age. Not. I have provided the “missing link” to get us from the 7th century BCE classic Hebrew alphabetical narrative prose of the received text way back to the Bronze Age, via a writing by a contemporary [that is, a written account commissioned by one of the tent-dwelling first Hebrews]. That “missing link” is using cuneiform, à la the Amarna Letters, to write west Semitic words in the Late Bronze Age Patriarchal Age. Jim Stinehart |
