I wonder if Yadavas also had the number 40 as a value symbolic of “completeness” because Hebrews were Yadavas from India
What about Holy Smoke, Holy Mackerel, Holy Moley, etc?

Hey yeah good point, what about Holy Smoke, Holy Mackerel, Holy Moley, I looked up Mackerel and that’s a fish. I wonder how come that fish Mackerel gets a Holy word attached to, what about other fishes out there?
Good point there what about all these other Holy names
Oh also in spirituality there’s Holy too with names
Such as Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, what other words are there in spirituality and in Exodus era that has Holy with a name?
So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy…
Genesis 2:3
It was the first thing in the Bible called holy (it means set apart so it can be special or because it is already) –
The Lord’s Day of Rest

Oh, i think about 1000 breeds the smallest being like a goat. I once studied and found that the straw to milk conversion rate was higher in indigenous breeds but the milk per animal was much higher in cross breeds. The indigenous ayurveda medical tradition considers melted butter made from indigenous cow milk to have no cholesterol and many other medicinal properties. Please do write if u know of any such Jewish tradition. Thx
I have never heard of Zadok, so that’s a fantasy, I also never heard of Jebusite: tell me more about Zadok and Jebusite?
Ok according to your message Judaism derived from Canaanites practices., what are the Canaanites practices compare to practices Hebrews Yadavas did in India?
And what causes a fantasy vs people believing it as real?
Also have you ever heard of Pharaoh living in India?
Ok my thoughts on Holy Spirit is Holy Spirit light Ruach ha-kodesh and unknown word in Hindu., as I don’t know of yet., but what Hindus call for inner spirit God., so for now I’ll just say Brahman., I believe light lives in all of us already.,
I allow light in me teach me I allow light in me teach me I allow light in me teach me, I’m sure people during Exodus allow light in them teach them, surely they must of., cause how could those people travel and never allow light in them teach them
anyways, I still don’t have any laws., and never will
so that’s the thing I notice in religion is all of these laws why
why laws for why why why
forget laws, no need for them
why laws for
I think I get into this finding, I like finding
so its fun
But I’m not into all these laws
so sometimes I wonder what am I doing hanging out with religion people., cause they’re all into laws
I can find similarity with Christian, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and I do enjoy for some odd reason, Exodus, I think what is it, is exploring the world., in a way, or is it finding
what is it
Like ok I heard Pentecost that’s fire and those people fed on fire
see, fire food spiritual food
surely the people in Exodus also fed on fire too spiritual food
so the Pentecost has always been
Moses led Hebrews Yadavas out of Indus Valley and there was already Pentecost all ready because spirit lives in all of us., anyone can feed on fire from light in them
Yeah
Yes you got Qurnah right. The question though is that the Hebrews would move farther away from Israel if the came from the west and crossed the Shatt al-Arab eastward. While I agree that this was Yam Suf 3, I suggest they came from the east and crossed westward to Israel.
The religion of the Indian Pharaoh would be, say ‘X.’ This was carried and modified by the Hebrews and known as Torah. The same ‘X’ was modified into present-day Hinduism. So we will need to study the common points in the oldest available Torah and Hinduism to find out the nature of ‘X.’
Paleomalcologist. The Canaanite religion would certainly have left their mark on the Hebrews. But that does not stand against the Indus or other religion also leaving its mark on them. Judaism would have been a systhesis.
Does God need rest? If God is all-powerful, then why would He/She need rest at all?
Maybe it’s figurative for our sake (establishing a six-day work week and a holy day of rest), and maybe it’s also foreshadowing to when Jesus, the God-man, truly did rest from more difficult labor beyond imagining as the little essay suggests.

I forgot about “Holy Crow!” That’s a very common exclamation.

Perhaps you meant to say hay instead of straw?
You must have some interesting native cattle breeds in India.
Here in the states, the most popular breeds for milk are Jersey and Holstein, while the most popular breeds for beef seem to be Black Angus, Hereford, and Charolais
Some breeds were developed in the USA, such as the Santa Gertrudis and the Texas Long horn.
And one of my favorite cow breeds is the Scottish Highland.
Butter has plenty of cholesterol in it.

I think I mean straw. We harvest the wheat and paddy and the stems are used as fuel or fodder. That is straw.
Yes butter has high cholesterol. Ayurveda says that molten butter of indigenous cow milk makes that digestive or something that I do not know. It does not add cholesterol to the body. I am only telling what I have heard from our doctors. These may be the reason that the Jews danced around the golden calf.

I’ve never heard it (that I recall in my septuagenarian geezer memory ; - ). Maybe it depends what flocks you hang around in too. XD Or they’re different in the northeast than they are in the west midwest. (I spent my first two decades in the northeast though, but again, that was half a century ago.)
Ah, me too. I first saw the delightfully shaggy woolly cows at home in their native Scotland the aforementioned half century ago, but there are some around here now. The blackface sheep there were novel to me too.

Well then Ayurveda is wrong.
They were worshiping the golden calf. It had nothing to do with cholesterol. Besides, the ancient Hebrews didn’t know anything about cholesterol.

The Jebusites were one of the people groups of Canaan, specifically associated with Jerusalem. That’s about all that we know about them. Zadok was a high priest during David’s and Solomon’s time. Based merely on the fact that he isn’t mentioned until after David conquered Jerusalem, the claim has been made that Zadok was actually a Jebusite priest brining Jebusite religion into Judaism. This requires throwing out the genealogy of Zadok in I Chronicles that traces his ancestry to Aaron and thus does not do well with Occam’s razor. It also ignores the fact that Saul’s near-extermination of the previously dominant priestly family would have led to previously unimportant people taking on priestly roles, and the fact that the disrupted conditions during the end of Saul’s reign and the beginning of David’s limited priestly activity.
The consistent picture in the Bible, compatible with archaeology, is that Judaism as prescribed in the Torah was a new idea that repeatedly had problems from being blended with the religions of the surrounding cultures, particularly that of the Canaanites (though other deities also gained popularity, to the extant that one could distinguish between the Canaanite versions and those of other cultures around). The mechanics were similar - building a temple or tabernacle, what a particular type of sacrifice is, etc. resembled practices across the Near East. But the Bible emphasizes sharp differences in theology and ethics from the surrounding cultures. The idea that Judaism gradually grew out of Canaanite (or other) religion is not a good match for the evidence. During the exile, those who continued to blend in largely lost their identity as Jews; the remnant were those who clung to the distinctives.
Trade in the Near East extended to India, so there were doubtless some exchanges of ideas between the general regional cultures as well. As the Harrapan writing remains undeciphered, we have little information about what the early Indus valley civilizations believed. Hindu traditions derive largely from Indo-Aryan culture, which was moving into northern India starting probably a few centuries before the exodus. Other Indo-European cultures, more or less related to the Indo-Aryans, moved into the Near East, so there was some mixing. However, the Jews are genetically tied to other Semitic peoples rather than to any of the people groups of India.
One other way that Canaanite religion affected Judaism was in supplying some literary imagery. Just as Dante or Calvin or Milton could use images from classical Greek and Roman mythology, the poets and prophets of Israel could draw on the mythological terminology of their neighbors. This appears both in mocking pagan beliefs and in appropriating images of power, glory, etc. from pagan beliefs and using them in Judaism. For example, a common Near Eastern idea was for the gods to have a home on a great northern mountain (compare Olympus). Some psalms and prophetic books take up this imagery and represent Mount Zion as great and sometimes as northern, despite its not being even the tallest hill in its area.

The Jebusites are not even mentioned outside of the Bible.
