The Hittites narration by Jeremy Irons - what a great video - opens my eyes, food for new thoughts .

The Hittites
Wow , what a great video. I suspect if you look at the map the land of Canaan and early Israelites were in the middle of this war and peace and the story of Exodus is about changing alliances. First the story of Joseph and the Israelites being allied with Egypt and building Pithom ( Ptah or Pi ) , then through Moses, being also allied with Egypt , then the Exodus where alliances probably changed to be pro Hittite the winners against Ramses . The moving around in the desert probably makes them like the Bedouin in the story , during the war and peace between the Hittites and Egyptians. When the Hittites fell, the reign of Joshua and Saul and David, came to being with the Bible combining the one God idea of early Egypt and the Egyptian creativity , but the other ideas about love and the notion of written  laws from the Hittite.  The Israelites had a problem with the too many Gods of the Hittites and the slavery of the New rulers in Egypt who also gave up on the idea of the one God. Thus the need eventually for their own kingdom. The going out of Egypt in the bible could have well meant the going out of Egyptian alliance as Egypt itself was in Canaan. Who knows if the Kadesh Barnea was really the Kadesh of the battle here in Turkey, Syria. This fits in with the new findings that the Israelites were idol worshipers at first and were really a branch of Canaanites who never really left Canaan , but that Egypt came to Canaan . The location of Jerusalem in this context , the City of David , makes sense as it is off the route between Egypt and Hittite Kindom  by the sea or Jordan valley in the hard to reach mountains. The strong connection of Ramses the second and Pi the Egyptian god could somehow be related to Pithom and Ramses in the bible.

Now remember , in the first chapter of  Leaving Home Going Home Returning Home, I had mentioned that the way we understood early Israel till now as a direct historical interpretation of  the story of Exodus, did not add up to what archaeology in Israel was now revealing to us. Well  the truth is finally coming out and we are finally  getting a really good picture of how Israel came about and her gift to the world through the Bible and what the Bible was really about - an allegorical story based on the times , to position the New Israelites , between the greater Egypt and Hittite , Babylonian .empires with a message that integrates and refines the teachings of all these peoples.
