Ktemoc Konsiders Blogspot, in his column, Why 'God' loved Isaac more than Ishmael
make's an interesting assertion. The writer picks apart the Old Testament by making
assertions, insinuations, and inferences. In looking for some evidence that the writer
might present to support his theories. I stumbled across, what would appear as
circumstantial proof that may support his arguments. While, i can't address, every detail
that he wrote. I don't consider insinuations to be proof. Supernatural events in the Bible,
are supernatural, therefore i cannot present a logical argument based on a faith based
event. Eg.
What did the Egyptians see in a 65 year old Hebrew woman
that made them acclaim she was fair (beautiful)
He would have to ask the Lord how or why he renewed Sarah's youth. Miracles do
occur, doctors refer to them as Spontaneous Remissions, because they can't explain
why and how it happened. If you think a 60 plus mature woman can't look enchanting.
Checkout, Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley,........
However, there was one particular paragraph, that i picked out to be a valid argument.
The most puzzling mystery has been that
in a land of such
fastidious recording of events, not one single line of hieroglyph
or hieratic or demotic in Egypt’s famed and vast repository of
recording made any mention of this race, their or their mass
exodus from Egypt.
The only account of the Hebrews living in Egypt and their exodus
out of Egypt is in the Tanakh, which coincidentally was written
by their descendants, the Judeans while they were slaves in
Babylon from 586 to 539 BC.
Consider then, the discovery of the Ipuwer Papyrus Manuscript which parallels the events
of the Exodus in the Tanakh. While secular historians dispute its correlation. It is clear, it
makes mention of one called the 'Lord of All' Notable, Egyptologist Roland Enmarch
'acknowledges that there are some textual parallels "particularly the striking statement
that ‘the river is blood and one drinks from it’ (Ipuwer 2.10), and the frequent references
to servants abandoning their subordinate status (e.g. Ipuwer 3.14–4.1; 6.7–8; 10.2–3).
On a literal reading, these are similar to aspects of the Exodus account." '

Carrying on with other biblical
mysteries, wakakaka:
The Israelis journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were
about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and
children ….. (Exodus 12:37)
about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and
children ….. (Exodus 12:37)
The Book of Exodus narrates the preparation of the Hebraic
exodus after the Pharaoh, cowered by the 10 plagues including
the death of his firstborn, gave Moses leave to lead 600,000
male Jewish slaves plus their families, totalling some two million people, out of Egypt.

2,000,000 Hebrew slaves migrating out of
Egypt!
Even allowing for some ancient
exaggerations, yet there is not
one single mention of this monumental migration in an ancient
Egypt famed for its recording of anything and all things! No,
not one!

Continuing:
Now the length of time the Israelite
people lived in Egypt was
430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the
Lords’ division left Egypt ….. (Exodus 12:40-41)
430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the
Lords’ division left Egypt ….. (Exodus 12:40-41)
Nearly half a millennium of residence in
Egypt by the hundreds
of thousands (if not millions) of Hebrews – again there was not
one ancient Egyptian record of them! Not one hieroglyphic,
hieratic or demotic line anywhere!

As mentioned, this was a nation which
recorded everything,
about Pharaohs, their gods, floods, harvest, births, deaths,
ownership of this and that, weather, social events, wars, etc,
but not a skerrick of written line about 2,000,000 Hebrews
living in their land for 430 years, let alone making a mass
exodus.

This was an unexplained omission of
amazing proportion by the Egyptian scribes. Or, was it?
Surely
there must be something
to explain the mysterious and
very monumental omission in ancient Egyptian records on the significant Hebraic presence there, unless of course there was
no Hebrew ever in Egypt, and thus no Hebraic exodus took place.
