Is There Evidence for Manasseh and Ephraim in Egypt? - Dr. Doug Petrovich (Conf Lecture)

[@paulhease1007]

you are doing God's work Mr Petrovich. He is using you to reveal his truth and action in history to increase the faith of those who believe.

[@michaelpfister1283]

Great presentation! I am familiar with David Rohl's interpretation of Tel El Daba, but your take on it is refreshing because it shows how there is more than one way to interpret the evidence that still fits the Biblical narrative. We may never have enough evidence to totally nail down which is right, but the fact that there are multiple ways this could fit adds even more weight to the Biblical narrative. Nicely done!

[@IlluminingThePath]

Thank you, Michael. David Rohl forged the path. My work comes behind and both goes deeper and corrects many of his mistakes (made from innocence, of course).

[@-kepha8828]

@@IlluminingThePath what is your opinion of the revealed dates of the true sabbath days during the first 3 months of the Exodus that are undeniably laid out in the scriptures? Deuteronomy chapter 5 tells us that on the 2nd set of tablets given to Moses (after he broke the 1st set), God wrote on the 4th commandment that the 7th day sabbath is a memorial of the day he brought the Israelite out of Egypt. That means God is telling us that the day he brought Israel out of Egypt, which was the 15th day of the 1st month during the Exodus, was a 7th day sabbath! Its literally written in the 4th commandment forever as a time stamp to a specific 7th day sabbath memorial. if the 15th of that month was a 7th day sabbath according to the creator, then the 22nd of that month and the 29th of that 1st month must have also been sabbaths. Remember, the book of Enoch tells us that every single month either has 29 or 30 days in it. Exodus chapter 16 tells us that Moses and the Israelite spoke with God on the 15th day on the 2nd month of the Exodus. The Israelite's complained that they wanted to eat meat. So God told Moses to tell the people, that at evening, he would send quail for meat, and the following day (which is the 16th day of the 2nd month) God would send manna. God said the manna would fall for 6 straight days, but on the 7th day it would not fall because this was to mark his sabbath. God said this would be a test to see if the Israelite's would obey his sabbath. Friends, if the 16th day of that month was the 1st day of the week, the first day the manna fell, then we can conclude that the day prior, the 15th, was a 7th day sabbath. Since the 15th was a sabbath, we can conclude that the 8th day was also a sabbath. Therefore the 22nd and 29th days of this 2nd month had to be 7th day sabbaths as well. The Book of Jubilees chapter 1 tells us that on the 16th day of the 3rd month during the Exodus, God spoke to Moses and the Israelite's on mount Sinai. Jubilees tells us this day was THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Which means the feast of weeks took place on the 16th day of the 3rd lunar month during the Exodus (side note: who hear follows this instruction :). Leviticus 23 tells us that the feast of weeks must take place on the day AFTER a 7th day sabbath. This means the 16th day of the 3rd month was the 1st day of the week. making the 15th day of the 3rd month during the Exodus a 7th day sabbath! Which means the 8th day of the 3rd month had to be a sabbath as well. Friends, this now makes 3 straight months where the sabbath takes place on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the 3 months recorded in scripture referring to the Exodus. And remember, God said this was all a big test to see if the Israelite's would obey this sabbath count. Now for some unbiased simple math. If the last sabbath during the 1st month of the Exodus occurred on the 29th day (remember theres either 29 or 30 days in a Hebrew month per Enoch), and the next sabbath did not occur until the 8th day on the 2nd month, then how many days separated those two sabbaths? The answer depends on ho many days were in that 1st month. if there were 29 days, then 8 days separated the two sabbaths. if there was 30 days during the 1st month, then simple math tells us there were then 9 days that separated the two sabbaths! The exact same scenario plays out in the following month, once again the sabbath ending on the 29th day of the 2nd month was NOT 7 days apart from the sabbath that fell on the 8th day of the 3rd month! So the scriptural fact is that you can deny a luni-solar sabbath all you want, but the proof of scripture says that you are wrong. Scripture does not lie and our amazing father has given us a way to prove his true sabbath through the Torah, just as the Israelite's were taught to obey its count. Side note: Leviticus 23 tells us the Feast of Weeks is a moedim. Psalm 104:19 tells us that the moedim are appointed by the MOON. So what does the feast of Weeks command tell us to do? it tells us to count 7 complete weeks! Weeks according to what? According to the moon! Here scripture is testifying that the only possible way to calculate his week i according to the moon! Test everything my friends, the word of God reveals much!!!! Funfact: The books of 2nd Baruch an 4 Ezra undeniably show proof of a luni-solar sabbath just like the books I referenced from the Torah do. If anyone is interested in that study just message me and ill provide the verses for your testing.

[@ahuviatah2866]

Hello everyone! In order to find all evidences cities must be destroyed to research through the whole lands. Of course this is not possible yet, But if evidences like these are found in relative" little " places, imagine all it could be found by digging through the whole place without limits and restrictions. I love to see evidences like these, but I don't need more to Believe all The Biblical Truths, I am convinced.

[@narrowistheway77]

I think we have enough evidence to say David Rohl is off his rocker though. I think he might be right about the first two Egyptian dark periods being overblown, but the third seems to keep everything perfectly aligned with the history of the region. For instance the conquest of Canaan is found in the Amarna letters and the correspondence is with Amenhotep III which is very time appropriate according to 1 Kings. There’s other reasons to disregard a lot of what David Rohl claims, it just doesn’t hold up on the whole. But he’s almost certainly correct that there’s about 300 extra years of time added to Egyptian history prior to the 12th dynasty of Egypt which puts the building of the pyramids in a realistic time frame as well

[@GTX1123]

The work Dr. Petrovich has done here is AMAZING. The evidence of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt has been in plain view of archaeologists for decades but was either rejected or completely unknown because of blatant bias against the veracity of scripture. It is truly stunning just how well the Egyptian record and the Biblical record fit perfectly together in this regard.

[@dalerobinson8051]

Excellent presentation, Dr. Petrovitch! Since you mentioned David Rohl (in the talk and comments section), I'd like to know what you think of his (or The) New Chronology. It produces different Pharaohs but his book makes at least some sense of their experiences and Biblical events. Christian film producer Tim Mahoney makes at least some use of Rohl's views in his Patterns of Evidence movies. (Rohl is in some!) And what do you think of Mahoney's efforts, for that matter? Whether you can answer or not--thanks for all your doing.

[@IlluminingThePath]

Hello, Dale. To answer your question frankly, as one with training in Egyptology on a Ph.D. level (vs. Rohl, who only has a B.A. degree in Egyptology), I can state confidently that the "New Chronology" is one disaster after another. It is "pin the tail on the donkey" scholarship. It's the wrong results because of the wrong methodology. All of us in the field know and loathe its influence on the naive and untrained. Bryant Wood wrote a 10-page summary of problems with what Rohl messed up (in his 2015 book) JUST WITH BIBLICAL AI. Some day I hope to publish a book that refutes the entire paradigm. If you are wise, you will stay as far away from it as possible, at least until you gain training in the field.

[@dalerobinson8051]

I really thank you for answering me. I will not "gain training in the field" at my age. I only have a Master's from Cincinnati Christian U. (now defunct) and definitely not in Egyptology! But I find the work that you (and others) are now doing gratifying. In fact, I get goose bumps when I listen and watch. I will share with those I know. Thanks again.

[@IlluminingThePath]

There's no simple answer to that, One Way. Know this: When Tim Mahoney first began the series, he followed David Rohl like a guru. As time went along, and many of us walked Tim through the plethora of mistakes that comprise the "David Rohl dating disaster," he finally (recently!) parted company with David Rohl and his chronological disaster. So, my timeline differs greatly from Tim's earliest timeline (in the films), but now I think he has "come over from the dark side" (if you will). Am I familiar with their research? When Tim Mahoney heard about the thesis of my 1st book, that Hebrew is the language of the world's oldest alphabetic script, he changed the entire focus (and name) of that (2nd) film, in order to present these findings to the world. The title of this Patterns of Evidence film is, The Moses Controversy. I hope you have seen it, because it is a crucial, game-changing film (even if somewhat flawed).

[@IlluminingThePath]

Very true, Debbie. It's funny: years ago I hated ancient Egypt. Mummies didn't impress me, and it all seemed so dark. Then I took a course in OT history that included a focus on Egypt. By the end of the course, I not only warmed up to Egypt, but I started to enjoy studying it. That launched me on my own study trail, and it ended with the first minor of my Ph.D. being Egyptology. I still am unimpressed with mummies, but the rest of the culture is fascinating to me. Yes, God interacted with Egypt a ton in ancient times, and if he did, why shouldn't I?

[@abashedsanctimony154]

Could the " m" after Hebeded , be a homage to Manasseh ?

[@mattshobbies]

I'd love to get your take on the way that Shekem is actually Manasseh's great grandson. Josh 17:2 doesn't spell it out, but Num 26:29-31 DOES, and Shekem is the son of Gilead, the grandson of Makir, the great-grandson of Manasseh. So to have a great grandson age from something like 10yrs to something like 18yrs old, average generation of 18yrs at the time, makes Gilead around 28, Makir around 46, and Manasseh around 64 to 72. This is totally plausible, and would further make sense why Manasseh (The Brother Of The Ruler Of Retjenu) is riding a donkey and not walking.

[@dovbarleib3256]

The word Levantine actually comes from the Hebrew word Levanah לבנה, the white of the Crescent Moon. It has the same name in English, the Fertile Crescent shaped like the Crescent moon stretching from Southern Judea northward then eastward over Syria and Southern Turkey (Aram in ancient times). It then continues to curve south- eastward down the area between the Tigris and Euphrates River, all shaped like a Crescent..

Dr. Petrovich, About the Israeli four-room houses; is there evidence of remodeling when Israel first begins to occupy Canaan and its already existing infrastructure? Did the invading Israelis, who inherited the Canaanite cities remodel their new (used) homes to reflect what you are suggesting was the building style of Jacob? If so that would be an important factor to support this theory. If the tripartite, four-room style doesn't appear in Israel until after the period of Judges then would the connection to the house in Avaris be anything more than coincidence? Fascinating lecture and diligent research. Thanks.

[@IlluminingThePath]

Marc, I devoted an entire section to this in one of the chapters in my book, with useful images. The oldest four-room house of which I am aware is from Stratum d/2 at Avaris, the first Asiatic occupational level. The Austrian team excavated other four-room houses in subsequent strata at Avaris. This same model was followed by the Israelites WHEN THEY BECAME SEDENTERY within Canaan. It's the exact same general plan with all of them. The only difference is the size of the rooms, the thickness of the walls, and the overall size of the buildings. And yes, all of this is VERY important, because the four-room-house variation of the tripartite building is known to be used only by Hebrews. No, the existence of Jacob's four-room house from Stratum d/2 is not coincidence, not when this model is continued in later strata at the same site. What is still missing is the identification of Jacob's four-room house at Bethel, before he moved the family to Egypt. This is why someone needs to excavate MBA IIA levels at Bethel.

[@timhays4290]

The Bible says this Genesis 41:45 Then Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah. He also gave him a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On. So Joseph took charge of the entire land of Egypt. Can you explain the difference in the names you reference?

[@IlluminingThePath]

Andy, I explain this in greater detail in my upcoming book. For now, I will say that multiple names in greater antiquity was far from uncommon. Abraham had 2 Hebrew names. Sarah had 2 Hebrew names. Jacob had 2 Hebrew names. The Egyptian king had 5 Egyptian names. There is no problem whatsoever with Joseph's having more than 1 Egyptian name. In fact, he had a total of 4 Egyptian names, counting the one you mention from the Bible. You MUST remember that people of this time received their initial or later name due to some event or major circumstances that defined them in the eyes of the people around them. You simply have to take yourself out of the modern understanding of name-receiving to get all of this.

You are welcome, and I'm glad to hear that you loved the presentation. Dirk, I think you misunderstood something. Jacob was buried in Canaan, not Egypt. I discuss the burial of Ephraim (Di-Sobekemhat) as having included a (type 1) narrow-bladed axe, a daggar, and so forth. This burial dates to the 2nd Israelite occupational phase at the site. Jacob's death marks the end of the first occupational phase. How could there be any mention of Jacob's hip when (1) he was buried in an unknown location in Canaan, and not in Egypt, and (2) the issue with his hip has nothing to do with what has been excavated at Avaris (=biblical Rameses)?

[@IlluminingThePath]

George, first of all, there are no pyramids in the Delta, including at Avaris. Second, the statue was broken into pieces, which were scattered and found in various locations. The consensus is that the original statue was placed inside of the massive estate building that I refer to as the Egyptianized Asiatic Residence, which is the most plausible option. There are lots of details and facts involved in all of this, which are in my completed (but unpublished) book. When you read about all of this, you will understand why it simply cannot be attributed to Joseph in any reasonable fashion. Moreover, Joseph was NOT buried at Avaris. All of this is in my book, as well. Hang tight. Hopefully it will be published and in print this year.

At days end, he had fell & hewn a great tree,, where he than retired from all labour. The next day, to much amazement,, the tree had returned to it’s original position & once again standing upright. So, he immediately,, repeated the process & laboured with the passing of another day. When the third day dawned & again, the tree was upright & back to it’s original form. & again the brother repeated the process, but this time he decided to see,, who had undone all his work. To much surprise, the brother noticed all the Forrest birds, insects & wild life, labour to restore the tree to it’s former prestige. Upon hearing their incantations, the brother sprang from hiding & spake to the children of Tane Mahuta, so it is you,, who restore my tree. In which, the children of Tane Mahuta replied,, who hath given you authority to fell the Forrest God to the ground. When the brother had heard this, he was quite & overcome with shame.

Just because modern day jews and self proclaiming Christian's do not accept this book, it is scripture. More than 2,000 years ago BOTH the Jews and the Ethiopean christian church faithfully accepted this book as Torah. Nowhere in scripture does it tell us that their are only 5 books of torah. Ingact, 2nd Kings even reveals that the Israelites did away with the Torah at one point and it was later found in the temple by a priest, and noone even knew any of the books. So israel is famous for forgetting what the Torah originally was, nothing new under the sun. The book of Jubilees is an amazing book, and gives the real timeline years.

I believe the original Egyptians are basically a defunct race of people that God removed from this world as punishment for their enslavement of his people and continuous idol worship amongst other things such as pride. God reduced that country to a dusty non-productive third world country that is totally dependent on tourism for its very survival. Tourism of objects and sites that have no association with the people claiming descendency...... How the mighty have fallen !!

Glad to help. Jamie. This is easily answered, as I deal with the topic in the book I just finished writing (and am now editing). Manasseh and Ephraim were born between 1884 and 1879 BC, making them 20-25 years of age at the death of Jacob in 1859 BC. The text never states or implies that they were young boys when their father took them to Jacob. Many of us simply have read something into the text that is not there. They probably were of full form, growth-wise. This is why they were ready to travel. Remember that in the ancient world, true adulthood was not considered to be reached at about 18, but rather at about 30. The boys probably bowed to their grandfather when he was extending his hands.

Vincent, I wish I were able to give you what you want, but I simply cannot. There is no evidence whatsoever for the Israelites as seafarers while living at Avaris. They were quite sedentary, actually, apart from land-journeys. However, I can tell you the two commercial enterprises in which they were involved: turquoise mining and importing/selling wine. You can read all about this in my book when it comes out. See my own comment here. Undoubtedly after the Israelites moved into the Levant (conquest from 1406-1400 BC), they eventually shared their alphabet with the Canaanites and Phoenicians. It was the seafaring Phoenicians who took that alphabet and the acrophonic principle throughout the known world.

This changed everything, allowing two young men who were raised with the wealth and knowledge of Egypt to act as a bridge for their family members who had spent their entire lives in Canaan up until that point. This was a stroke of genius.

[@richardkean5100]

I certainly do appreciate your scholarship and the videos but don't necessarily agree with some of your conclusions on Manasseh & Ephraim. You are suggesting Manasseh was disfavor because Jacob switch and gave Ephraim the birthright. First, I would point out, there is no where in scripture that Abraham or Isaac pass on the birthright in this fashion. Why? Because a birthright was a given, it always went to the firstborn son. The only way that it could be changed was in a case like Ruben; even then if a man had more than one wife the next in line was the firstborn of wife number two. I would also argue that word " before " never means favored or preferred as most Scholars have said. The Hebrew definitions is , Face or Forward. To illustrate. The Speaker of the House goes before the President to announce his presence; much like John the Baptist interduction of Jesus. This begs the question, who is more important, the speaker or the guest of honor? This 48th chapter of Genesis has nothing to do with a birthright blessing. The statement by Jacob; I know it my son, I know it my son, was a response to Joseph’s concerns about Manasseh being the firstborn. The crossing of Jacob’s hands meant Ephraim would go first and become a company of nations and Manasseh would follow and become a People. If we were to take out the interruption by Joseph the narrative runs smoothly. There is something else misleading. That is not recognizing the words Great and Greater are verbs not adjectives in this context in verse 19. Again the definitions in Hebrew are, to Grow, Grow-up, large, magnify and increase. The same as the word in verse 16, let them " Grow into a multitude." They both come from the same root. Here is what's going on in this 48th chapter of Genesis. Joseph hears his father is very sick and near death. He brings Manasseh & Ephraim to see their grandfather perhaps for the last time. He does what most families would do. He wasn't seeking a blessing but was surprised when his father calls Ephraim first then Manasseh and takes them as if their like his sons Ruben & Simon. (Now here is the key to understanding this chapter) Jacob reminds Joseph of what happen to them at Beth-el. It is where Rachel gives birth to Jacob second Benjamin then dies and is buried. This reminder was given because it had been some 60 years after event. Jacob was putting Joseph on notice what he was about to do, but, Joseph wasn't getting it untel after he was assured by his father, Manasseh was the firstborn. ( I know it, I know it) Joseph named his second son Ephraim after the place Rachel was buried and Jacob was honoring Joseph and his mother's second son by giving him a place that would change world history in two ways. First Ephraim descendants would become a company of nations who would dominate the world for almost 2 & 1/2 centuries. He would go before Manasseh to make it possible for Manasseh to inherit his birthright privilege. The crossing of Jacob's hands and setting Ephraim Before Manasseh had nothing to do with a birthright. It wasn't even in Jacob's mind. He was thinking back to where God had met him at Beth-el the second time and gave him three new promises. " A Nation, A Company of Nations, Kings shall come from his Loins. Jacob reverse the order and gives Judah Kingship after they are form into a kingdom. From the bottom up. Next came the company of nations. That was given to Ephraim; remember, Ephraim means, dubble fruitfull. Thirdly, A Nation. This Nation sprain our of Joseph who was separated from his brethren. Going back to your assumption that this "unflavored person was or could have been Manasseh doesn't match up in my view because chapter 48 of Genesis isn't saying Manasseh was rejected and Ephraim got preeminence. I would say more then likely the person to whom you refer is, Ruben for he was the one Unfavored among Jacob sons.

Also Joseph married Pharaoh daughter an Egyptian woman that gave birth to Ephraim and Manasseh. This is misnomer of the Western education.

Exodus 1447 BC (18th Dynasty), taken from Genesis 10. Where did u get 1859 as that is Abraham’s era (born 1988 - 1813 BC). Abraham came into Canaan 1913 BC age 75 yes. The Hebrews were not in Egypt 430 years but according to Josephus, 215 years.

[@ivanmamula7588]

Bible says it was 430... Galatians 3:17 (KJV) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Though not exactly 430 because the promise this verse is referring to was made to Abraham so from that moment to the exodus out of Egypt is 430 years, which I guess could end up being 215 years strictly in Egypt 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exodus 1445 BC ends the 12th and 13th dynasties. Exodus destroys the Egyptian army, Opens them up for Hykos 2nd intermediate period. 18th dynasty is more like king solomon, king David and saul time period.

Masada, the exodus was on 24 April 1446 BC. See my 2006 journal article on the exodus pharaoh. Jacob's family moved to Egypt in 1876 BC, and Jacob died in 1859 BC, without doubt. The Hebrews lived in Egypt for 430 years. Please read my 2019 peer-reviewed article on the precise length of the sojourn in Egypt, which is the most thorough study on the topic ever published. This article thoroughly refutes the faulty 215-year view. All the best!

@@IlluminingThePath going off the book of Jubilees timeline, you are about 100 years off. I am not saying this in a negative way, your timeline is much more accurate compared to other peoples. The Jubilees copy found in the Dead Sea scrolls dated to around 300BC. I will trust that over any modern day persons educated guess. Especially when we understand that that book of Jubilees was just a copy of a MUCH older version that no longer survives, which means its history goes even farther back.

.Ephraim and Manasah are to be great end time nations . They will be brother nations . Ephraim gets to the birthright blessing . Manasah or Great Britain will be a Great nation. But Ephraim or America the younger nation will be greater a nation full of nations . Now does that description sound like Egypt ?

@ I think in Genesis Ch 48 finding the identity of which nation Ephraim and which nation represents Manasah Im not stating that America did more good for the world . I'm just looking at evidence for end time identity of Genesis Ch48.It describes the older brother (or nation) as a singular GREAT Nation . I.E GREAT Britain . The word Great nation is only used to describe Great Britain snd Great Britain is our older brother nation ..But the younger brother nation was to be more powerful .I think America is that younger nation and is an assembly of nations (In hebrew means nation full of nations) .That description places Ephraim as America .America still is the world's most powerful nation in comparison . We are the world's policeman ,the hammer of the whole world , Military that reaches the stars . But modern Ephraim is judged by God severely in the end of days .

Found myself constantly fact checking this guy! Oh My DAYS!..... THERE ARE TOO MANY FAKERS HERE ON THE WEB .... WHAT ARE Their motivations ....... Truly NO GOOD! TO MANY POINTS TO RAISE AGAINST THIS ONE!

[@IlluminingThePath]

So, Leroy, given that you obviously are an expert in the field, what specific 'errors' did your 'fact-checking' produce? What were your sources? What are the top 10 most important Egyptological sources that you've read related to (1) the lifetime of Joseph, and (2) the lifetime of Joseph? What are your credentials in the field? Who is the famine pharaoh, and why? Who is the exodus pharaoh, and why? Rather then flaming accusation with no actual facts or supporting argumentation, let's see some serious answers to these questions.

[@xspydazx]

​@@IlluminingThePath.. .... In short ..... this idea of being a biblical expert or even some form of researcher has been an argument which today after gaining qualifications way beyond the requirements find it a moot point or topic. as knowledge does not come from such sources only methodology. I have followed some of your work and along with other biblical researcher i have found that in truth you are not actually trying to prove the existence biblical truths in fact to explain away the historical tales without true understanding or faith . The people of the book , were of a different culture of today in fact to many it would shock them of which people i refer to. as well as to days people portraying the guise of the aforementioned original peoples being completely adverse and even opposite to the original people in culture and religion. hence often mis construing the history or even casting it to be mythological or simple word of mouth or conjecture or even cross-referencing the other known history of the time. even perverting the history to their own ends. Recently a researcher that i had also followed as a aficionado on the writers and composers of the bible "Greek/English lady DR" is a 100 percent atheist. and actually her goal is to disprove the bible as myth. there are other researchers hitting the truth and yet they become confused because of the shock regarding the origin of the race of the biblical people. As your research deleves deeper you will arrive at source material which would seem to be pseudo scriptures such as the accounts of Adam and eve, books of Enoch,book of jasher.... nag hamadi .... list goes on... as you mention we also have stellas ... Denoting Time periods... so there is actually no dismay at the time periods discussed in the bible as today scholars are placing many event at 4,000 years ago up-to today's present day .. and yet it is not what the book states .... is it clearly denotes two different periods of existence. We have historians such as ibn batuta and heroditous etc which clear define Egypt and Ethiopia and Asia and Helen... etc... how the people were , the story's regarding the building of the pyramids the canal systems (the dyke)
