The Name Yahweh in Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts
Personal blog posted by Jackson Snyder on April 19, 2010 at 11:54am
Among ancient Egyptian designations for types of foreign peoples in the New Kingdom Period, the term Shasu occurs fairly frequently. It is generally accepted that the term Shasu means nomads or Bedouin people, referring primarily to the nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples of Syria-Palestine. There are two significant hieroglyphic references in New Kingdom Period texts to an area called “the land of the Shasu of Yahweh.”1 Except for the Old Testament, these are the oldest references found in any ancient texts to the God Yahweh. The purpose of this paper is to study these two references and assess their possible importance in dating the Exodus story.
This is a rather complex paper. The rest of it can be found here: http://www.jacksonsnyder.com/arc/2010/name-yahweh-found-egypt.htm
