accuracy check if you can? Aka help. |
Tidying up my notes, and am starting on the one involving the legend of
Abraham. Would like someone who knows a lot more about this particular
subject to review the preliminary chapter. The remainder of the notes on
this particular legend are scattered across several hard drives & are
going to take a while to put it did some kind of logical sense. Currently
I have in mind to simply start out with the supposed birth, giving it as
many that I'm aware of & can verify existence wise.
From the birth I had in mind to proceed to the immigration to Canaan as
well as the original years he supposedly spent there.
After that possibly I will do his forgein travels.
Then the birth of his sons & his attempt to kill his second born.
After that I suppose I will mention the so-called burial place, commonly
referred to as the cave of miracles.
Here is my first attempt to consolidate some of the legend & I will
appreciate any criticism that will make it ia better work.
The patriarchs, did they ever exist?
According to the grimorie, to start the whole shebang off requires some
rather startling footwork. We have a god, who just happened to be to seem
god of the Ugartic pantheon decided that he needed a follower that would
except no other gods except it. Not only must this person refuse all
other gods, but he must be high born. The person chosen was a son of a
king's counselor, one Abraham by name. The story of his birth places him
in similar circumstances to that the later xian Christ. To make a long
story short he too was a dangerous child, a rather common mythology theme.
So much so, that it has its own identification number in the mythology
classification system.
The unique birth & the events leading up to it did not identically mirror
the claim to birth of the Christ of the Christians, as confirmed by Jewish
mythology. The similarities are extremely strong however, such as his
birth being foretold as being dangerous to the reigning King, the
isolation of all women until their delivery is not part of the xian myth,
but a variation is a part of the Judaic myth. To be specific, the birth
of Moses.
Continuing similarities may be found by the claim to astronomical events
leading up to birth and delivery of Abraham.
With a founding Father of such caliber, the Judaic mythology would appear
to have a firm foundation were it to be true. Historically, is not. The
legends pertaining to Abraham's journey to Canaan are varied depending on
which particular legend you want to read. In one version, he goes
straight to Canaan without taking his immediate family other than his
wife, in another version he takes a whole family father and all.
One version of the birth of Abraham had his father the Prince Terah, who
commanded the Royal armies, having a birth celebration for his son who
would be born during this celebration. The guest list was rather
spectacular and he played such dignitaries and all the Kings courtiers,
counselors & astrologers. After the party was a work anywhere on her way
home, an enormous comic with singing from the East explore for starters,
each workstation editor quarter of the having. The astrologers were
flatter gashed animated and predicted that Terah's new would become a
mighty emperor. His offspring will multiply & inherit the entire earth
for all eternity, conquering Kings & possessing all their lands. This
created a problem for they did not go straight to the king and tell him
all about it. When they got around telling him, a vast became to pay at
best price until the child. This was to prevent him from becoming old
enough to have sorrows which would destroy the Kings posterity as well as
theirs. And so it came to pass the became called Terah into his presence
and demanded the boy. Of course this upset terah who tried to weasel
around the demand and managed to substitute a slave woman's child for his
own. This is a part you do not find in the xian grimorie, but the
information is available. Not Terah in Abraham in a cave, and provide a
foster mother, supposedly a will chosen a foster mother, and provide them
with food month after month. Supposedly El cared for Abraham throughout
the next 10 years; even though some will say that 13 years went past.
Upon his final emergence from the cave he spoke the holy Hebrew, despised
all sacred groves, hated idols & trusted in his creator. After that it
gets weird.
If you can find any history that contradicts the above, please let me
know.
walksalone who's going to attempt to consolidate some of the legends, xian
& otherwise & wioll post some of them for public review.
