Mapping the Portion In Torah Portion Shemot, we have a lot of traveling to do! You will need 3 colors to complete this map: red, blue and green. You can use whichever medium you wish: crayons, pencils or markers. Mapping can be done as you reach each verse in your portion, or as a separate activity. The goal of mapping is to familiarize yourself with the geography of the land, to visualize where important Biblical events happened and to bring Bible history to life! Genesis 47:27 Israelites living in Goshen Color the area around Goshen in BLUE, including Rameses and Pithom Exodus They built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for 1:11 Pharoah Exodus Every boy that is born you must throw into the 1:22 Nile Outline the Nile in RED Exodus But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in 2:15 Midian Draw a path from Ramses to Midian in GREEN [Moses] led the flock to the far side of the desert Exodus and came to Horeb, the mountain of YHVH 3:1 (God) Draw a path to Mt.

Matthew 2:8 Wise men travel to Bethlehem Circle Bethlehem in BLUE and draw a line in GREEN connecting Jerusalem to Bethlehem The map provided was created based on our best research. Archeologists have different opinions on various locations, so we tried our best to use locations that were most widely agreed upon. *Mt. Sinai, Mt. Horeb, Mt. Paran and “YHVH (God)’s Mountain” are all names for Mt. Sinai. It’s actual location is widely disputed. We chose this location based on research done by BibleArchaeology.org.

A Sketch of the Geography and History of Egypt
A SKETCH OF THE GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY OF EGYPT EGYPT, situated in the northeastern corner of Africa, is a small country, if compared with the huge continent of which it forms a part; its size about equals that of the state of Maryland. And yet it has produced one of the greatest civilizations of the world. Egypt is the land on both sides of the lower part of the river Nile, from the town of Assuan (Syene) at the First Cataract (i.e. rapids) down to the Mediterranean Sea. Nature herself has divided the country into two different parts: the narrow stretches of fertile land adjoining the river from Assuan down to the region of modern Cairo--which we call "Upper Egypt" or the "Sa'id"- and the broad triangle, formed in the course of millennia from the silt deposited by the river where it flows into the Mediterranean. This we call "Lower Egypt" or the "Delta." In the course of history, a number of towns and cities have sprung up along the Upper Nile and its branches in the Delta. The two most impor- tant cities in antiquity were Memphis in the north and Thebes in the south. The site of Memphis, not far south of modern Cairo, is largely covered by palm groves today. At Thebes the remains of the temples of Amon, named after the neighboring villages of Karnak and Luxor, are still imposing witnesses of bygone greatness and splendor. The only other sites I shall mention are those from which specimens in our collection have come.

Physical and Historical Probabilities Respecting the Authorship and a U Thority of the Mosaic Books
PHYSICAL AND HISTORICAL PROBABILITIES RESPECTING THE AUTHORSHIP AND A U THORITY OF THE MOSAIC BOOKS. VI. THE Exonus. THE book of Exodus, as we have seen, is the main stem of the Pentateuch, that to which its roots in Genesis converge, and that which supports its branches, foliage and fruit in Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Everything in Genesis has its end and object in the emigration from Egypt, and the Exodus itself is that which sustains the historical fabric of the law and the· conquest. The whole thus constitutes one grand symmetrical literary structure, linked with contemporary historical facts, and constituting the basis of Christianity itself. This great event may therefore form a suitable termination to the present series of papers. Modern discoveries have enabled us to place the Exodus more satisfactorily than heretofore in connection with contemporary Egyptian and Palestinian history, and to appreciate every step of the march of Israel in search of liberty. Formerly this was difficult, in consequence of the unsettled state of Egyptian chronology and want of topo graphical information, while our Biblical historian is care less even of the personality of the rulers of Egypt. To the wri'ter of Genesis and Exodus they are collectively merely Pharaoh, just as we now speak of the Czar, the Sultan or the Khedive, with scarcely a thought of the individual name of the potentate in question. The historian of the Exodus is fortunately more particular as to topography, and the lul VOL. X.

(May 2012) Veronica Marie Morriss, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann In ancient Egypt, the Nile was both a lifeline and a highway. In addition to its crucial role for agriculture and water resources, the river united an area nearly five hundred miles in length. It was an avenue for asserting imperial authority over the vast expanse of the Nile valley. River transport along the inland waterways was also an integral aspect of daily life and was employed by virtually every class of society; the king and his officials had ships for commuting, as did the landowner for shipping grain, and the ‘marsh men’ who lived in the northernmost regions of the Nile Delta.

Establishing Roman Rule in Egypt: the Trilingual Stela of C
Originalveröffentlichung in: Katja Lembke, Martina Minas-Nerpel, Stefan Pfeiffer (Hg.), Tradition and Transformation: Egypt under Roman Rule; proceedings of the International Conference, Hildesheim, Roemer- and Plizaeus-Museum, 3–6 July 2008, Leiden ; Boston 2010, S. 265-298 ESTABLISHING ROMAN RULE IN EGYPT: THE TRILINGUAL STELA OF C. CORNELIUS GALLUS FROM PHILAE Martina Minas-Nerpel Stefan Pfeiffer Introduction When Octavian departed Egypt in 30 BC, he placed C. Cornelius Gallus, an eques by rank, in charge of the new Roman province Aegyptus. Gallus, who was responsible to Octavian himself, received the newly created title of praefectus Alexandreae et Aegypti, Prefect of Alexandria and Egypt. Soon enough, not even three years after his appointment, Gallus incurred the emperor ’s utter displeasure. The prefect was dismissed by Augustus, returned to Rome, was convicted by the Senate and fore stalled the impending banishment by committing suicide in 26 BC, as we are informed by Cassius Dio. 1 Gallus ’ alleged hubris and his assumed damnatio memoriae have much been discussed among ancient historians, papyrologists, and Egyptologists. In this respect, the most important and crucial Egyptian document is a trilingual inscription —hieroglyphic Egyptian, Latin, and Greek—dated to 16 April 29 BC (Fig. 1-5). It was carved on a stela re-discovered in 1896 in front of Augustus ’ temple at Philae (Fig. 6),2 which the prefect Rubius Barbarus had dedicated in Augustus ’ year 18 (13/12 BC).3 Cut into two parts, the stela had been reused in the foun dations, presumably of the temple ’s altar. The victory stela of pink Aswan granite, originally about 165 cm high, now 152 cm by 108 cm, is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (CG 9295).

Journal of Egyptian History 11 (2018) 147–184 brill.com/jeh Elusive “Libyans”: Identities, Lifestyles and Mobile Populations in NE Africa (late 4th–early 2nd millennium BCE) Juan Carlos Moreno García CNRS—France [email protected] Abstract The term “Libyan” encompasses, in fact, a variety of peoples and lifestyles living not only in the regions west of the Nile Valley, but also inside Egypt itself, particularly in Middle Egypt and the Western Delta. This situation is reminiscent of the use of other “ethnic” labels, such as “Nubian,” heavily connoted with notions such as ethnic homogeneity, separation of populations across borders, and opposed lifestyles. In fact, economic complementarity and collaboration explain why Nubians and Libyans crossed the borders of Egypt and settled in the land of the pharaohs, to the point that their presence was especially relevant in some periods and regions during the late 3rd and early 2nd millennium BCE. Pastoralism was just but one of their economic pil- lars, as trading activities, gathering, supply of desert goods (including resins, minerals, and vegetal oils) and hunting also played an important role, at least for some groups or specialized segments of a particular social group. While Egyptian sources empha- size conflict and marked identities, particularly when considering “rights of use” over a given area, collaboration was also crucial and beneficial for both parts. Finally, the increasing evidence about trade routes used by Libyans points to alternative networks of circulation of goods that help explain episodes of warfare between Egypt and Libyan populations for their control.

A JOURNEY to the BIBLICAL SITES in LOWER EGYPT, ETC. by GREVILLE J
133 A JOURNEY TO THE BIBLICAL SITES IN LOWER EGYPT, ETC. By GREVILLE J. CHESTER, B.A., Member of the Royal Archreological Institute. THE work of the Palestine Exploration Fund could scarcely be deemed complete if Egypt were left out of the scope of its investigations. In the very first Book of the Old Testament, we read of Abram going during a famine to sojourn in the rich and fertile land of Egypt, and of his deceitful dealings with the king of that country, and on the very threshold of the New Testament, we are told of the flight of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. J oseph with the Holy Child to the same place of refuge, and how it was that "out of Egypt God called his Son." In addition to this, much of the Old Testament relates to Egyptian trans actions, and there is, in point of fact, scarcely a better or more striking commentary upon the inspired Prophets than the present state and aspect of the ancient Biblical cities of Lower Egypt. So far as the writer can discover, there are no Arabic or Christian traditions in Egypt, relating to the visit of the Patriarch Abram, and Brugsch's identification of a place called in the monuments T-en .Moshe, the Island or Riverbank of Moses, with the name of the great deliverer and law-giver, must at the best be considered very doubtfuL (" Hist. of Egypt," ii, 112). With respect, however, to the "Flight into Egypt," and the sojourn of the Infant ()hrist in that ancient land, four traditions prevail to this day amongst the Copts, who are the representatives of the ancient Egyptians, and the inheritors to some extent of the traditions, as they are the actual possessors of the property of the ancient orthodox Church of Egypt.

THE TIME of the OPPRESSION and the EXODUS . . . John
THE T I M E O F T H E O P P R E S S I O N A N D T H E E X O D U S JOHN REA Moody Bible Institute The problem of the date of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is an old one. Yet it is an extremely important one in Biblical studies, for, as Edwin R. Thiele has said, chronology is the one sure basis of accurate historical knowledge. Scholars have wrestled for over 2000 years with the question of Hebrew chronology in the 0. T. Many dates have long since been firmly fixed to the satisfaction of all; others remain unsettled. With respect to any date still in question new evidence de- mands new investigation of the problem, in the hope that the new insight gained by intensive study may furnish a more reasoned solution. The chronology of Israel in the first millennium B.C. has been quite accurately determined on the basis of its relationships with Assyrian history. For the chronol- ogy of Israel in the second millennium B.C., however, comparison may best be made with Egyptian history, for which scholars have determined dates with the greatest degree of certainty of any nation in the Near East in that millennium. Yet even Egypt- ologists differ with regard to their dates about ten or fifteen years for the period in which we are interested, so one cannot yet arrive at dates with absolute finality. At any rate, a knowledge of Egyptian history is essential to the O.T.

11 Hyksos and Hebrews
Hyksos and Hebrews: Coexistence at Its Finest James T. Moll During the third and second millennia BC, according to the third century BC Egyptian priest and historian Manetho in his Aegyptica, Egypt underwent five distinct periods with thirty- one dynasties.1 These can be broken down into three long and stable periods, known respectively as the Old (2686-2181 BC), Middle (2040-1782 BC), and New Kingdoms (1570-1070 BC), between which lay the First and Second Intermediate Periods of ca. 150 and 200 years each, respectively. Whereas the kingdoms were characterized by strong monarchs and long dynasties, competent bureaucracy, freedom from invasion, massive construction projects, and cultural and intellectual development, the intermediate periods were characterized by political instability marked by weak kings, invasions by foreign peoples, and internal rivalries for leadership.2 Of particular interest in this essay are the Second Intermediate Period and the New Kingdom. Although a glorious time for Egypt (considered so even now), the Middle Kingdom mysteriously ended around the mid-seventeenth century BC and was replaced around ca. 1720- 1640 BC by a group of people dubbed the “Hyksos” by Egyptians, which means “princes of foreign lands.”3 Not a lot of information about these people survives, although research remains ongoing, but we do know that they were a Semitic people whose language and culture were not far from those of the ancient Israelites. Around the middle of the sixteenth century BC, these people were eventually forced out of power and compelled to leave the country by Ahmose I and his brother from Upper Egypt, who ushered in the New Kingdom.
