YHVH Meaning - Definition

YHVH

The Hebrew Codec

By Ken Marlin

“The  Origin of the name of God from Archeology and Anthropology”

The “Hebrew Codec” is an ongoing search for the earliest archeological evidence and the use of comparative literature of the same era in deciphering history from myths and legends.

1:1 By what name did Abram call God?

Genesis 11:31; And Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter in Law, the wife of Abram his son and went forth with them “from Ur of the Chaldeans*” to go to the land of Canaan, and they came as far as Haran and settled there.

Genesis 11:31, places Abram in the Third Dynasty of “Ur of the Chaldeans”. 

When “Ur” was the capital of Sumer.

Abram was a Sumerian.

Hence, God originated from the “Kingdom of Sumer.” 

1:10 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “YHVH ALHYM”; 

“YHVH” is Moses’ God’s “Specific title/ name”, further describing ALHYM (Elohim). “YHVH” distinguishes God from all the other Elohim. 

Genesis 2:4, is the first time “YHVH” is used in the Torah. Henceforth, Moses called God; “YHVH ALHYM”, specific as “The God of Abraham”, always singular. 

1:11 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Lord, Hebrew; “YHVH”.

In ancient poetics “Every name tells a story”;

Reading right to left;

“Y” Yod, symbolizes; “ Sky (sun/ star)”

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)

“V” Vah, symbolizes; “Earth”

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)

YHVH symbolizes; “Sky, Man, Earth, Man” 

“YHVH” Paraphrased as; “Sky Man (to) Earth Man”

YH (Sky Man), “Yah” is a Sky Deity.

.1 In ancient Hebrew “Every name tells a story”;

“Sky or Heaven” in Hebrew is “Shamayim”.

Sha Ma Yim;

Sha =  Of

Ma = Water

Y = Sky

Mem = plural of the Y (Yod); “Skies”

Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural

Shamayim is paraphrased as; “Skies Of Water” or Firmament. 

Compare the “Y” yod in “YHVH” to the “Y” yod in “Shamayim”;

The “Y” yod in YHVH, and the “Y” yod in ShaMaYim both mean Sky (heaven).

God’s specific title and name “YHVH Elohim”;

“Y”HVH; “Sky Man to Earth Man”  (Sky/ Sun Deity)

ShaMa-”Yim”; Skies of water

.2 The Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) definition of YHVH as a “Mystery and Verb”, is from the first century “Platonic, Philo Hellenism”.

Mythicism was the common religion of the Roman Imperial Cult. And Philo and Hillel (Hellenist) intertwined Roman Mythicism into Judaism creating Jewish Mysticism, known today as “Kabbalah”. 

Most Jews today follow Hillel practicing Kabbalah, and define YHVH as a “Mystery and Verb” to unify Judaism into Roman Catholicism.  

.3 I started my search for the origin and meaning and of God’s Hebrew name “YHVH” from the; Middle Eastern neolithic pictograms, thru the pictographs, Sumerian Cuneiform, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Phonecian pictographs, and Paleo Hebrew.

Then I cross referenced my research in the Bible Concordances and Lexicons;

Research; “Bible Concordance; Sky” and “Strong Condance; "Sky #8064” is translated 191 times meaning heaven, 50 times meaning sky, and there are over a dozen of other words that used the “y” yod referring to sky or heaven.

In the Hebrew English Lexicon; “Brower-Driver-Brigs” the Yod referring to sky in other Hebrew words, are too numerous to be put into this book.

Also research sky and heaven in the “NAS Exhaustive Concordance”.

.4 Even in the Alphabetics era, we can break down almost every Hebrew word and name into its; root word, prefixes and suffixes as; 

Moses in Hebrew is “MaShe” or Moshe;

MaShe;

Ma = Water

She = Of

MoShe symbolized; Water, Of

MoShe paraphrased as; “Of the Water”. 

 Comparing the “S” shin in Shamayim to the “S” shin in Moshe;

Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural (Skies Of Water)

Mo She symbolized; Water, Of (Of the Water)

.7 In the Greek Septuagint, God’s name is; “Theos Kyrios”. 

Indo European Linguistic Migrations of “Deiwos” (-1300 to -400 BC);

Deiwos -> Deity (Daylight, Personification of the Sun or a Star)

Deiwos -> Dyeus Phter  (Sky Father) -> Iu-pitar -> Ju-piter (I, J and Y are regional dialects)

Greek Dyeus -> Zeus (Sky Deity or Storm Deity)

D-yeus (ius) -> Hel-ius -> Helios Helios (Hot Sun Deity)

D-yeus (ius) -> Th-eos (Theos, literally “The Sky” or “The Deity”)

D-yeus (ius)-> Kyr-ios (Kyrios, literally “Master Sky” or “Master Deity”)

Theos Kyrios is Paraphrased as “The Sky Master” or “The Deity Master” in the Septuagint -350 BC. 

.8 Sinai Peninsula Linguistic Migration of “Deiwos”/ D-yeus; 

D-yeus -> Yesu -> Yeshu -> Yeshua or Yashua (I, J and Y are regional dialects)

Deiwos (Dheses) -> Deywos (celestial) -> YeHWoS -> YeHWoH -> YHWH (celestial creator)

* Research; “Dyeus”, “Deywos”, “Deiwos Theses”, “Deiwos Deywos”, “Deiwos Yehwoh”, and “Deiwos Yahweh”, and “YHVH”.

* Research; “Reconstruction of Proto Indo European "Deyos".

In the Hebrew Tanakh, God’s name is “YHVH Elohim” (Ruler of the Sky)

In the Greek Septuagint, God’s name is; “Theos Kyrios” (Sky Master)

YHVH Elohim = Theos Kyrios 

In -1300 BC, Moses used the most modern alphabetic depiction of God as “YahWeh” (celestial God of creation) as “the creator of the universe”. 

Most Jewish prayers begin with; “Barukh ata Adonai* Eloheinu, melekh ha’olam**.”

“Blessed are you, our Lord our God, king of the universe**”  

* Jews substitute “Adonai” for “YHVH”. 

** “Ha’olam” means “The Universe”, the celestial creator of heaven and earth

.9 Most religions of the world originate from the personifications of the sun and sky.

Abram was from Sumar (Genesis 11:31) and the Sumerian deity of the sky was “An”, and the Akkadians sky deity was “Anu”. 

“YahWeh (YHVH)” would have been the Proto Indo European equivalent of “An” and “Anu”. 

Abram would have called his deity Sumerian; “An (Sky Man)”. 

500 years later Moses called god in the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic 

“YahWeh (YHVH)” the celestial God of creation as the creator of the universe

* Research; An and Anu

** Research; “List of Solar Deities”.

*** Research; “List of Sky Deities”

1:9 Elohim;

The original Neolithic Pictographic*  meaning of Moses’ God, Hebrew; “ALHYM” (Elohim/ ELoHYiM) , and in Arabic “Allah”.

Reading right to left;

A, Alef, symbolizes; Ox (Bull of Sky).

L, Lamid, symbolizes; Staff; “Leads”

H, Heh, symbolizes; Man (pointing to the sky).

Y, Yod, symbolizes; “Sky** (sun/ star)”.

M, Mem, as suffix symbolizes “multitudes”, plural of the Yod, as; stars/ constellations.

“ALH-YM” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox* – Staff – Man – Sky – Multitudes.”

“AaLoH-YiM” (ELoHYiM) paraphrased as; “Ruler, Leads, Man, (to) Stars (Astrological Constellations). 

The original Elohim were Astrologers**.

* “Ox” Alulim is the “Bull of the Sky (Heaven)”, a Chaldean Astrology sign symbolizing the Spring planting season and First of the New Year.

** Research; “Chaldean Astrology”, “Sumerian Astrology” and Akkadian Astrology”.

The Oxen is symbolic of an Agriculture Deity,  a minor deity, rather than An the Sun Deity, or warrior deity, or a wind deity, etc…

In the Akkadian “Epic of Gilgamesh” Alulim* (Elolim/ Elohim*) is the “Bull of Heaven,” of which, Anu’s daughter Ishtar persuaded him to give her the “Bull of Heaven (Elolim/ Elohim)” to attack Gilgamesh. 

* Sumerian “Alulim (Elolim)” is “Elohim'' in Mose’s Genesis.

Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis. 

In the paleo Sumerian religion Alulim is picturgraph as a man with a bull’s head. 

Whenever we see “El” (Bull of Heaven), as Elyon in Canaanite religions etc… Its origin is from Sumerian Astrology.

- Research; “El Deity”, “Sumerian Religion” and “Sumerian Astrology”. 

- “Sky/ Stars”, meaning is from; “Astrological Constellations”.

- Please note the differences between; “Pictograph” from “Pictogram”, when I am referring to “Neolithic Pictographs”.

.1 Summary of God’s specific title and name “YHVH ALHYM”;  

“Y”HVH; “Sky Man (to) Earth Man

ShaMa-”Yim”: Skies of Water

ALH”YiM”; (AaLaH-YiM/ Elohim) Ruler Leads, Man, (to) Skies (Sumerian Astrology).

*Sumerian Astrologers

Hence, the theme of the Tanakh is; “YHVH (Sky Man to Earth Man) descended from the sky, and ALHYM (Ruler Leads, Man, to Skies) leads man back to the sky.” 

Or simply; YHVH descended from the sky, and Elohim* led men back to the sky. 

Yah was the “Sky Deity”.

Elohim were “Astrologers”. 

1:12 The original  Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “AHYH”;

AHYH is the specific title and name of God as; “Most High”. “AHYH” is first used in Exodus 3:14.

A Alef, symbolizes; Ox*, (Ruler, Bull of Sky)
H Heh, symbolizes; Man
Y Yod,  symbolizes; Sky
H Heh, symbolizes; Man

AHYH symbolizes; Ox, Man, (to) Sky, Man.

AHYH paraphrased; “The Bull of Heaven (ascends to) the Sun Deity.”

1:13  The  Neolithic Pictographic meaning of; “AHYH-Asher-AHYH:
Exodus 3:14; Moses said to God, “When I come to the Israelites and say to them; ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name? What shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “AHYH-Asher*-AHYH.” He continued, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites, “AHYH sent me to you.”  

* “Asher” was the god of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites. 

The meaning of the title “AHYH Asher AHYH” is;

AHYH = The Bull of Heaven ascends to the Sun Deity

Asher = God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites

AHYH = The Bull of Heaven ascends to the Sun Deity

The title “AHYH Asher AHYH” paraphrased as; 

“The Bull of Heaven ascends to the Sun Deity, to Asher, then back to Sun Deity.”

In the days of Moses there were two great kingdoms, Egypt and Assyria. The Hebrews feared they would leave Egypt only to be slaughtered by the Assyrians. God wanted to comfort the Hebrews not to fear the Assyrians, that he was also the God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites. 

.1 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Eve, Hebrew; “HaVaH”.

The name of Eve in Hebrew is Havah “HaVaH.”

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)

"V” Vah, symbolizes; “Earth”

“H”  Heh, as a suffix, implies “feminine.”

"HaV"ah symbolizes; Man Earth feminine

"HaV"ah Paraphrased as; “Mother Earth”.

The original meaning of "HaV"aH was; “Mother Earth” from which all life comes forth. 

* Research; “Sky Father (An/ Anu)” and “Earth Mother (Earth Goddesses)”.

.2 Abraham was the most honored forefather of Judaism;

AV Ra Ha M;

AV = father (Abba)

Ra = first

Ha = man

M = plural of the Ha (man) men

AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; Father, First, Man, Plural

Avraham paraphrases as; “First father of the nations”.

.3 Comparative Symbolism;

Y H V H symbolizes; “Sky, Man, Earth, Man” 

A H Y H symbolizes; Ox, Man,  Sky, Man.

“Ha V” ah symbolizes; Man Earth feminine

“A L H-Y M” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox Staff Man Sky Multitudes.”

Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; “Of, Water, Sky, Plural”

Mo She symbolizes; “Water, Of”

AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; “Father, First, Man, Plural”

From these names we can extrapolate;

Y yod symbolizes Sky

H heh symbolizes man

M symbolizes water

M mem as a suffix symbolizes plural of the letter it follows

YHVH Meaning - Definition

1:2 The first time Abram’s God name appears anywhere in the Middle East is on the “Sumerian Kings List” and the “Sumerian Tablets”;

SKL 1:1 “After the kingship descended from the sky, the kingship was in Eridu. In Eridu, “Alulim (Elolim) became king.” 

Alulim (Elolim) was the original historical name of God.

1:3 Comparative Transcriptions (Linguistic variations);

AaLu (ruler)

AaLoH as Elohim (ruler)

AaLaH (ruler)

Allah (ruler)

Hence, Abram honored his ancestor Alulim (Elolim) king of Eridu, specifically as his ruler (god). 

* Research; “Sumerian Kings List”, “Sumerian Tablets” and “Sumerian Cuneiform”.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam, originated from the ancestral legends of “Alulim” (Elolim). 

.1 The original Neolithic Pictographic* meaning of; “AaLu-LiM”;

“AaLu” (Elo) is pictograph as; “Ruler”.

“AaLu-Lim” (Elolim) is pictograph as; “Ruler (of) Leaders*”.

* Search Google Images; “Sumerian Iconography” and “Sumerian gods”.

** “Leaders” were tribal leaders, sons of Alulim.

The original Mesopotamian meaning for  “Allah” (AaLaH) is: “Ruler of man”. 

* Research; “Sumerian Pictographs”, and “Sumerian Cuneiform.” 

* Research; The original creation stories; Sumerian “Eridu Genesis”, and Akkadian “Emuna Elis”.

1:4 The last king of the Sumerian Kings List was “Noah (Ziusudra)”.  

Ziusudra was the Sumerian name for Noah. 

* Research; "Ziusudra”

And “Atra-Hasis” was the Akkadian name for Noah in the Akkadian Tablets.

* Research; “Atra-Hasis”

“Adamu” is the name for Adam in the Sumerian Tablets.

* Adamu is “Adapa” in the Akkadian Tablets.

From the rival Akkadian perspective which was anti-Sumerian, Alulim (Elolim/ Bull of Heaven) and Adam played inferior roles.

Compare; The Sumerian Tablets and Akkadian Tablets to Moses’ Genesis. 

* * Research; “Sumerian Language” and “Sumerian Literature.” 

* Research; “Epic of Ziudsura,” “Epic of Gilgamesh (Utnapishtim),” “Epic of Atrahasis,” “Deucalion,” and “Flood Myth Historically.”

1:5  Moses’ accounts of creation and the flood originated from the myths of the “Epic of Ziusudra (Noah)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh”. 

The differences in Genesis can be attributed to; 

.1 The oral historical gap of 2100 years; from the time of the flood (-3400 BC), to when Moses wrote the Torah (-1300 BC), of which much of the oral history was forgotten, then adapted to conform to local cultures.

.2 Being influenced from living in Canaan, 

.3 Being influenced from being in captivity in Egypt for 430 years, 

.4 The scribes translated the “Meanings of the Names” rather than a letter to letter transliteration of the Original Pronunciations. 

Most of the names in Genesis were translated to conform to the Egyptian and Phoenician (Canaanite) cultures and poetics. 

.5 The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the scripts.

.6 These myths originated as Theatrical Entertainment, rather than historical accounts. 

The writers and producers would take theatrical performances and substitute the names with the names of local kings, heroes, and locations into the scripts. 

The plays of the era were dualistic, often comical and tragic. 

* Research; Linguistic Semiosis (Semiotics), Linguistic Semantic, Cognitive Semantic, Logical Semantic, General Semantic, Philosophical Semantics, and Psychological Semantics.

* Research; Poetics, Poemetics, Symbolic Form, Esthesic and Poiesis.

1:6 Abram’s bible was the Sumerian Tablets;

The formulation and the establishment of a legend is: “an ancestor (or hero), time, and distance”. 

Hence, Historians, Archaeologists and Anthropologists, search for the “oldest artifacts and documents” which are usually the most accurate. That, from the oldest artifact on, there is a progression of ancestors (or heroes) who became legends and myths. 

The Sumerian Tablets and Akkadian Tablets, were the “Original Bibles.” 

* Bibles are “written accounts of history, religion, and laws”. 

1:7 Thinking outside of the Bible Box.

Most scholars are in the Bible Box, that timelines must be less than 5,700 years from the Biblical Creation narrative. 

Most Middle Eastern Archaeologists use Hieroglyphic and the beginning of their civilizations 12,000 BC, as the beginning of their timeline.  

I use the Scientific Dating of the Writing Systems, rather than the Biblical Box narrative, thus are much earlier dates.  Moreover, I used the earliest dates of the writing systems which ties the fables* to their Motif and Oral Poetics.  

* Fables are stories that convey a moral story with animals as characters which talk. As talking snakes and donkeys etc…

.1 History of Bibles;

* Dating was established from the Writing Systems, Poetics and Archeological Artifacts. 

-3400 BC “Historical Era begins.” 

-3400 BC Egyptian Hieroglyphs (First bibles) 

-3300 BC Sumerian Tablets (second bible); “Eridu Genesis (original book of Genesis)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh” predate Moses by 2000 years. 

-3200 BC Akkadian Tablets, Enuma Elish (Third Bible)

-3100 BC, Canaanite Ebla Tablets (Forth Bible), note these tablets (bibles) predate Abraham by 1300 years. 

-2000 BC Canaanite Mari Tablets*.

-2000 BC Canaanite Alalakh Tablets*.

-2000 BC Canaanite Amarna Tablets*.

* (combined to form a Fifth bible)

-1950 BC Abraham born 

-1940 Destruction of Ur, Gen 11:31 Abram flees to Canannan 

-1850 BC Simmion’s Ark Tablet (Sixth Bible)

-1800 BC Atra Hasis Account of Genesis (Seventh Bible)

-1350 Moses leads Israel out of Egypt

-1300 BC, Moses begins to write the Torah, begins the “Jewish Historical Age”. (Eighth Bible).

Moses’ accounts were 2000 years after the Sumerian Tablets. Hence, Moses’ Genesis originated from the Sumerian myths and legends of God, creation and the flood, and would have been influenced by the seven previous bibles.

As with legends and myths, Moses’ deity and legends, exceeded all previous deities, myths and legends. 

.1 Research: “List pf Mesopotamian Deities”: 

On their chart they cunningly mixed the Mythological Deity Anu with the Legend Deities Ekil and Enlil.

They skipped Alulim, as the first Legend Deity. 

The Legend Deities should begin with Alulim (Elolim), Enkil, then Enlil. 

There is an attempt to delete Alulim (Elolim) from the historical records. 

1:8 The original Sumerian script had over 2800 characters. 

Each pictograph represented an ox, deer, man, house etc...

Around 2000 BC, the Egyptian, Phonecian, Canaanite and Sumeian scripts were abbreviated to 28 characters to a modern Proto-Alphabet script, of which vocalized words. 

My research focuses on “Paleo Pictographic,” pre alphabetics.

1:15 The “Sumerian Anuna” were the Hebrew “elohim* gods of creation” in Genesis 1-6;

Anuna = elohim

“Anunnaki” were the “Elohim” in the Akkadian Tablets  

Gen 1:26, “Let us make man in our image.”

According to the Sumerian and Akkadian Tablets; The Anuna (elohim) of Genesis were; “Anu*, Enlil, Enki, Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, and Inanna” (The Seven gods who Decree) 

* Note Alulim was deceased.

Research; “Anu” and “List of Mesopotamium Deities.”

Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis. 

The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the scripts.

Most of the names in Genesis were translated to conform to the Egyptian and Phoenician (Canaanite) culture and poetics. 

1:16 Origin of the Sinai Scripts; 

Egyptian Hieroglyphics -> Proto Egyptian Alphabetic -> Paleo Phoenician -> Paleo Hebrew.

From the days of Abram to Moses, Phoenicia (most of the Mediterranean coast, including Canaan) was under the control of the Egyptians. 

The Hebrew language was a dialect of the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic groups. 

Proto Egyptian Alphabetic = Paleo Hebrew

Moses wrote the Torah in the Proto Egyptian Alphabetics.

* Research; Phoenicain Alphabet; “Table of Letters.” Compare Egyptian Hieroglyphs, to Paleo Phoenecian and Paleo Hebrew.

* Compare the Sumerian and Akkadian typography to the Canaanite Tablets typography. 

The Canaanites were descendants of the Akkadians and Sumerians, hence the similarity of the name of God as El, Elyon, etc… 

1:17 The origin of the “Hebrew Script”; 

Genesis 11:31, Abram was a Sumerian. 

Hence, Abram’s native language was the Sumerian language. 

Abram’s journey began in Sumaria, traveled to Phoenicia (Canaan), went into captivity in Egypt, then went back to Phoenicia (Canaan). 

Sumer -> Phoenicia (Canaan) -> Egypt -> Phoenicia (Canaan). 

There is no archaeological evidence of the Hebrew Script or language in Sumeria prior to -600 BC when Israel was carried off to Babylonia. 

Therefore, the Hebrew language and script originated from the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic and Paleo Phoenecian Alphabetics.

By -2000 BC, the Egyptian scribes simplified Hieroglyphs to a “Alphabetic Phonetic Language.” 

Thus, -2000 BC would have been the earliest date for Biblical Hebrew script and language. 

.1 In -1300 BC, Moses wrote the Torah in the “Proto Egyptian Alphabetics”.

Proto Egyptian Alphabetics = Paleo Phoenician = Paleo Hebrew Script

By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew (-1300 BC)” was actually  a Modern Alphabetic Script.

The first letter of Sumerian PIctographs is the “ * sun (An)”, and the first letter of Paleo Hebrew is the “Alef oxen” (sun vs oxen), meaning Paleo Hebrew “Elohim” originated from the Paleo Phoenician, rather than from Sumerian Cuneiform.  

* Research; “Comparative Study of the Origins of Writing Systems.”

* Study; “Evolution of writings”.

.2 By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew” (-1300 BC) was actually Modern Alphabetic Script 

with modern Motifs, Poetics, and the best Symbolic Form, Esthesic and Poisis of the era. 

Moreover, Genesis 1-6 is the most inclusive organized collection of Indo European Myths of the -1300s BC when Moses began to write the Torah.

.3 As Eastern Asian Scripts, the “Original Sumerian Script” had over 2800 characters, 

but later was influenced by the West and became an “Alphabetic Phonetic Language,” reducing the Sumerian script to 28 characters. 

A theory is; there were people from the Far East that settled in southern Sumeria. 

Compare the Original 2800 Sumerian Characters to the Ancient Eastern Scripts of China, Korea etc. 

The origin of the Sumerian and Akkadian scripts were Eastern (Asian), and the origin of “Paleo Hebrew Script” was Western, similar to the Egyptian and Phonecian scripts. 

.4 There is no archaeological evidence of God’s name “YHVH” in Sumeria prior to -600 BC when Israel was carried off to Babylonia. 

Thus God’s name “YHVH” originated from North Africa.

.5 Moreover, there is no evidence of “El, Elyon or Elohim” in Egypt prior to -1300 BC.

.6 “YHVH Elohim” in Exodus 6:2, 3; 

Exodus 6:2 And Elohim spoke unto Moses, and said unto him; 

3) “I am YHVH; and I appeared unto El Abraham, El Isaac, El Jacob, as El Shaddai (Ruler of Deities*), but my name YHVH** I did not reveal myself to them. Tanakh, 

Read the Hebrew Script.

* El Shaddai means “Ruler of Deities”; (El means “ruler”, Sha means “of”, and Dai means “deities" (Sky Deities). 

** YHVH (Sky Man) is paraphrased as a “Sun Deity”. 

Moses joined YHVH (a North African deity) with Elohim (the Sumerian, then Canaanite god) creating “YHVH Elohim.” 

The Mosaic Religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam originated as “Sun Worshipers”. 

The Torah was orally kept until -1350 BC, from which Moses began to write the Torah. 

According to the “Pentateuch Documentary Hypothesis”; 

In - 400 BC, the book of Genesis was canonized into one scroll, created from 6 primary scrolls and hundreds of fragments. 

Historically, Moses only wrote the book of Deuteronomy and some fragments.

Most Historians theorize God’s name “YHVH Elohim (Exodus 6:2)” was backdated into the creation story and the rest of the Torah in -400 BC.

.7 Abram called God, in Sumerian Cuneiform “AaLu-LiM (Elolim) -1900 BC.”

Five hundred years later in Egypt, Moses called God in Egyptian Alphabetics; “YHVH AaLoH-YiM (Elohim).” 

1;18 Historical Gaps;

1. Historical Gap 1 (Oral Era); 

Was from the Stone Age, until the Historical Age (-3400 BC).

.2 Historical Gap 2: 

From the time Abram left Sumeria, God’s name and Jewish history was orally kept for 500 years, thru 15 generations while slavery in Egypt. 

.3 Historical Gap 3

From the time of the fall of The Second Temple in Jerusalem and the deaths of all Jewish Priests (70 AD), until the beginning of the writing of the Talmud, there was a 200 year gap, of which God was forgotten, and the Hebrew language was lost.

1:20 Summary;

To understand the origin of Judaism, study “Sumerian Mythology”.

God is a Sumerian myth.

There is no historical evidence that any of the Solar Deities or Sky Deities to have had historical roots or being from legends. 

Solar Deities and Sky Deities are mythological. 

Likewise, YHVH is a mythological sky deity, he never existed.

Most religions of the world originate from the personifications of the sun, stars and animals.

So where did God, the Creation, Flood Myths, and The Tree of Life originate? 

We don't know, and may never know. These myths originated in the prehistory oral era. Then, all we have are copies of copies, which have been edited and altered to conform to different cultures and motifs. 

However, if I were to give my best guess after 50 years of research, most of the fables and myths originated from North Africa. 

Fables, Myths and Legends;

Are there gods that descend from the sky and get earth girls pregnant producing demigods? Of course not, that is mythology. 

Do people ascend to the sky to live with the gods? Of course not, that is also mythology. 

The bible begins and ends with mythology, which implies everything within the covers is mythology. 

My Final Conclusion; 

Religion looks to the past, and Science looks to the Future. Do you want to live in the past or live in the future?
