Moses and the Egyptian Tale of Sinuhe

  • Semi-Technical
  • Richard L. Pratt

The author disputes this thinking, citing both similarities and important differences between the two narratives.

In addition, this paper will argue that both readings are saying that Goliath was about eight feet tall. It also seeks to answer related questions about the size of the exodus giants.

What Is the Biblical Date for the Exodus? A Response to Bryant Wood

  • Semi-Technical
  • James K. Hoffmeier

What is the biblical date for the exodus? This article is a critical response to an earlier article by Bryant Wood who argued for an early dating of the exodus. Hoffmeier is convinced that the 13th century date is equally based on biblical evidence. He, therefore, offers a modest critique of some aspects of Wood’s apology for the 15th century. The discussion is placed within the context of the mainstream scholarship regarding the Israelite exodus from Egypt.
