Ha!!
You should see how Richard Elliott Friedman, who holds a Th.D from Harvard messed this theory up that the Bible and Exodus was written after the Ugarit texts.
Moses lived in 1500 BC my dear.
The Torah was constructed in about 1440 BC.
Just about 250 years before the Ugarit texts were written.
and please note, I did not ask you to give me some study of a liberal doctor on what he thinks the ancient texts are saying.
I said, post the text, and lets compare it with what the Bible say.
You will be surprised to see what licence of freedom these so called archaeologists employs to prove something that does not exist.
to say, heck, look they are also have El and Yah as demi gods, and this is where Israel got their mythology, is pure wishfull thinking.
What I have learned in Archaeology, is that over the past 200 years, everything the Bible critisizers claimed abouit the Bible being false, was proven to be correct.
There is not a single historical book on Earth that had the undiscovered history revealed over 200 years of archaeology like the Bible did.

Again, go to opensource, choose your ancient manuscript, and lets compare it with the Bible.

I thought at first which of my history and archaeological books should I search for the one outstanding discovery, only to realise it would be like giving you a pebble from the Himalyas, comparing the mountan range with Biblical Archaeology.
Then I saw what Dr Free said in his book:
"Archaeology has confirmed countless passages which have been rejected by critics as unhistorical or contradictory to known facts......Yet archaeological discoveries have shown that these critical charges.....are wrong and that the Bible is trustworthy in the very statements which have been set aside as untrustworthy.....We do not know of any cases where the Bible has been proved wrong." - Dr. Joseph P. Free, Archaeology and Bible History. Scripture Press, Wheaton, IL, 1969, pg. 1

So I decided to get this quote on the web when I realised that Ramsey and other archaeologists also claimed the same.
Ramsey was at first a sceptic of the Bible, but changed his mind wery soon after he actually used the Bible as a guide to find what he was looking for.
I know you will say, Oh, a creationist website, but ignore that and look at what the Worlds foremost Middle eastern archaeologists said.
Biblical archaeology quotes - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
You know what, I think I will do the science of archaeology a disservice by quoting only one discovery.
rather listen to what the scientists says.
over 200 years of Arcgaeology the Bible had the information.
When Napoleon travelled through the middle East, he could not find 24 Biblical cities. Biblical critisizers continiously claimed that certain kings, sities, nations ect never existed. Only to be proven wrong by discoveries only known from the Bible. Today there are more than 3000 topograpical identities, hundreds of people, prophets, kings, and events confirmed that was previously mocked as myths.
Needless to say. I can not give you one example, but common archaeology attests to the validity of historical events and places.

Clay tablets from Sumer, the Ugarit and Dilmun are 1500 years old then Genesis.

The Hebrews were just impoverished, landless Canaanites.

"KJ Only" folks believe that the KJV is the "only, divinely-inspired translation" worthy of attention and the least in need of interpretation.

I am wondering how any “translation” can be “divinely-inspired”.

It is quite absurd that these people think like that.

If Tolstoy gets translated into English, is it Tolstoy?
If Shakespeare gets revisited in modern english, is it Shakespeare?
If the Book of the Dead gets translated from hyroglyphs, is it still the Egyptian book of the dead?

What has translations to do with the contents and author of a book?
Sweet nothing.

Mmmmm, lets see.
Check Yagel Yadin on Hazor and Ba'aal
or Tel Dan inscription.
The Ketef Minnom scroll is interesting.
What about the Moabite stelae and lachish letters.
Senachereb's palace and reliefs of Lachish capture with the threat to Jerusalem.
Try Hezekias' tunnel,
A nice one is Jericho where Kenyon originally claimed that there was no city for 200 years when Israel supposedly passed there in 1200 BC. The only problem is that her calculations on the exodus was incorrect, because it happened in 1400 BC, slap bang correct! A lot of Bible critisizers had egg on their faces because of their claims.
or would you be convinced if you discover that Biliam and Baalam inscriptions was discovered, not in Israelite history, but in Cananite history.
