The early history of the Hebrews

Bible. Old Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.; Jews -- History -- To 953 B.C.
A translation of the Sallier Papyrus is given by Maspero in the
_Records of the Past_, new series, ii. pp. 37 _sq._ For the scarab of
‘Sutekh-Apopi’ see Maspero’s _Struggle of the Nations_ (Eng. tr.), p.
vii. The names of Beth-On or Beth-el in Canaan, and of On near
Damascus (Amos i. 5), indicate a connection with the cult of the
Sun-god at On in Egypt. On in the ‘Beka’’ of Damascus is probably the
Heliopolis of Syria, to which the worship of Ra of Heliopolis of Egypt
was brought in the reign of the Pharaoh Senemures (Macrobius,
_Saturnal._ i. 23, 10).

Footnote 107:
See Wiedemann, _Religion der alten Aegypter_, pp. 142-144. The
_khartummîm_ and _khakâmîm_ (Authorised Version, ‘magicians’ and ‘wise
men’) seem to correspond with the Egyptian _kherhebu_, ‘interpreters
of the sacred books,’ and _rekhu khetu_, ‘wise men.’

See Tomkins, _Life and Times of Joseph_, p. 44; Erman, _Life in
Ancient Egypt_ (Eng. tr.), p. 439.

Ramses-em-per-Ra); Daninos-Pasha and Maspero in the _Recueil de
Travaux relatifs à la Philologie et à l’ Archéologie égyptienne et
assyrienne_, xii. p. 214; and Sayce in the _Academy_, 1891, p. 461.

Footnote 112:
Thus ‘Captain’ Ahmes had land given him according to his biographical
inscription, ll. 22, 24; see Brugsch, _Egypt under the Pharaohs_ (Eng.
tr.), second edit. i. p. 249.
Footnote 113:
See Virey in _Records of the Past_, new ser., iii. pp. 7 _sqq._ There
were similar public granaries in Babylonia called _sutummi_, under the
charge of an officer who bore the title of _satammu_, and the
institution was probably introduced into Egypt from Asia.
Footnote 114:
Erman, _Life in Ancient Egypt_ (Eng. tr.), p. 108.
Footnote 115:
See Brugsch’s translation of the inscription in his _Die biblischen
sieben Jahre der Hungersnoth_ (1891).
Footnote 116:
See Brugsch, _Egypt under the Pharaohs_ (Eng. tr.), 2nd edit., i. pp.
262, 263. ‘Captain’ Ahmes, who took part in the War of Independence
under Ahmes I., calls himself the son of Abana, and traces his descent
to his ‘forefather Baba.’ In Abana, Maspero (_The Struggle of the
Nations_, p. 85) sees the Semitic Abîna, ‘Our father.’
