When the schism from multiple gods of egyptian culture to monotheism.@Bthoth @Bharat Jhunjhunwala @sooda
Israelites means wrestle with God, so when did people wrestle with God?
Multiple gods to monotheism makes the best sense, especially from egyptian culture. The ongoing arguments of which to worship etc....When did people change from being Egyptians to Israelites wrestling with God?
Interesting. Remember the term nomad in semitic language is 'arab'. I have often assimilated the diaspora wanderers to becoming the arabs (nomadic tribes without a resident homeland)Oh I looked up Donald B. Redford and I notice word Shasu. Who are the Shasu group?

The nomads of Arabia have been spreading through the desert fringes of the Fertile Crescent since at least 3000 BCE, but the first known reference to the Arabs as a distinct group is from an Assyrian scribe recording a battle in 853 BCE.[141][142] The history of the Arabs during the pre-Islamic period in various regions, including Arabia, Levant, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.
Etymology. The name's etymon may be Egyptian šꜣsw, which originally meant "those who move on foot". Levy, Adams, and Muniz report similar possibilities: an Egyptian word that means "to wander", and an alternative Semitic one with the meaning "to plunder".
What, that guy is tied up, how come, is he wrestling, but he's tied up
What is that that I found?
