1The Emergence of Law in Ancient Egypt: the Role of Maat
1THE EMERGENCE OF LAW IN ANCIENT EGYPT: THE ROLE OF MAAT NJ van Blerk* ** ABSTRACT In this article, the emergence of ancient Egyptian law out of religion and specifi cally arising from the concept of maat is discussed, as well as the important role played by religion, and specifi cally maat, in the ancient Egyptians’ understanding and development of the law. An attempt is made to indicate that the ancient Egyptians indeed had law and to explain what the ancient Egyptians understood by law, followed by a discussion of the development of ancient Egyptian law and key jurisprudence elements of ancient Egyptian law.

"God's Love Story Sermon Outlines" Section 4: He Has a Jealous Love
"God's Love Story Sermon Outlines" by Doug Hamilton Section 4: He has a Jealous Love (Exodus Chapters 1-13) The people of Israel had been in Egypt for over four centuries. During that time they multiplied from seventy people to millions, filling the Land of Goshen. Moses was called upon to speak for God to deliver the people and return them to the Promised Land wherewith they had come. They had become slaves against their will to build pyramids in a foreign land. God demanded Pharaoh through Moses “Let my people go!” (Exod 5:1). It was not just out of the land they were to go, but also to come out from the false-gods to which they had accepted. They were desensitized to paganism, needing to be freed and reeducated to serve the one true God, Jehovah. It would be necessary to deprogram the Israelites from this idolatrous mindset; therefore Jehovah would launch an all-out war against Egypt’s top gods to prove His superiority. Everyone in the Land of Egypt would be taught the lesson that our God is a jealous God and His love is a jealous love. He would destroy their pagan god system. • Exodus 12:12 “…against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments-- I am the LORD.” • Num 33:4 “…The LORD had also executed judgments on their gods.” • Exodus 20:3-5 “You shall have no other gods before Me...You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." He is a Jealous God! What we are about to cover is God’s best attempt to have “No Other gods Before Him”.

Egypt If One Wants to Provide a Brief Overview of Egyptian Di- Vinities
Originalveröffentlichung in: Sarah Iles Johnston (Hrsg.), Religions of the Ancient World. A guide, Cambridge, Mass. ; London 2004, S. 393-396 EGYPT Isis kneeling, from the sarcophagus of Amenophis II in the Valley of the Kings near Thebes. Hirmer Fotoarchiv thought, there are thousands upon thousands of further entities one could call minor gods to avoid placing them in the same category as “demons. ” A precedent for us- ing the terms major gods and minor gods is provided by a stele of Rameses IV (ca. n 52-1145 bce) from Abydos. Furthermore, no opposition between gods as greater and demons as lesser divine beings existed in an- cient Egyptian terminology. And finally, the creatures that today one might readily characterize as demons, such as many inhabitants of the Egyptian underworld — as depicted in the Book of Caverns, for instance —are rarely referred to as gods in Egyptian texts. Despite these difficulties, scholars have of course tried to determine what conditions must be fulfilled in order to speak of an ancient Egyptian supernatural being as a god. One definition that has found wide acceptance was proposed by Jan Assmann, who suggested that for the term to be properly applied three conditions must be fulfilled: the divinity must be associated with a cult or Egypt topographical site and must possess both a cosmic and a If one wants to provide a brief overview of Egyptian di- mythic dimension. In the case of Osiris, for example, vinities, including demons and the multitude of who clearly qualifies, long litanies (e.g., Book of the personifications, it is a good idea not to get bogged Dead, utterances 141-41) list the places where he was down in details.

19 Sloan-Hubert
Egypt in Antiquity: Music and Mythological Deities April Sloan–Hubert Jack Yates High School INTRODUCTION Jack Yates High School in Houston, Texas, is the alma mater of choreographer, producer and actress Debbie Allen and her Tony-award winning sister, Philicia Rashad. The Allen sisters discovered and began to develop their talents and skills at the historic Jack Yates High School. The great jazz vocalist, the late Anita Moore, developed her vocal pipes too at Jack Yates. Anita’s voice although silenced is still remembered for being hand picked by the one and only Duke Ellington to lead his orchestra. Jack Yates High School is also the alma mater of the now retired Lavonia Pope Bassett, the first African American music supervisor for the Houston Independent School District. As the present Choir Director and Fine Arts Department Chair at this talent-rich institution, I am charged with the phenomenal task to lead, mold, develop and return our department to its traditional glory. I am also cognizant of the fact that those were the days before state- mandated tests, budget cuts, site-based management and weaponless wars of destruction. In America’s not-so-long ago past, people from all walks of life were considered culturally refined and upstanding citizens by attending the opera, going to the museum, knowing what dinner fork to use at a well set table, and by the art work in their homes. At the heart of my motivation lie two exceptionally large music history classes with forty plus students each. The students enrolled in these classes are lovingly called “the music historians.” These semi-non musically inclined historians are void of vocal and instrumental skills, but they possess a great love and appreciation for music.
