Did Joshua Make The Sun Stand Still? Science behind the Bible
Page 3 of 15
The first chapter of Genesis starts, "In the beginning God(s) created
Heaven and Earth." It has always been a theological enigma why the Hebrew
term god was plural in that sentence. But I have solved the problem. Since the
book of Genesis was not of early Hebrew origin but was actually written after
about 600 BC, then that story of the six days of creation could have been lifted
from another source. I have found one of the original sources.
The first chapter of Genesis was "lifted" almost verbatim from the earlier
Greek historian/author, Hesiod, dating accurately from 800 BC. There are two
primary academic sources for the history and cataloging of the ancient Greek
religion. They are; Hesiod, and the much later Homer (500BC), in his story of
Troy in his book the Iliad.
Unfortunately, Bullfinch's Mythology and other academics usually only
use Homer as their source and not the much earlier Hesiod. The two Greek
theology stories are not the same. And thus, most people have not studied nor
read Hesiod's version and therefore cannot see the extreme similarity and
parallels between Hesiod version and the first 10 chapters of Genesis.
THE PROOF OF THE PARALLEL TEXTS
I have studied Hesiod's, "Theogony" (Source of the Gods) and found that
it was, in fact, the source for the first chapter of the Hebrew book Genesis. In
the Hesiod Greek version it starts out, "Heaven (Uranus) and Earth (Gaia)
created the gods." Those created gods were the "six" inanimate Titans, who
were later taken over or defeated by the Olympians, led by the "seventh"
primary animated or "living" Greek god, Zeus, also known as Jove. The
Hebrew Genesis version says exactly the same thing but has an "inserted"
grammatical mark called "et".
And in the Hebrew Genesis version, the "six created" Titan gods became
characterized as the "six days of creation of chapter one, but the Greek
god names and the Hebrew days have exactly the same meaning.
Example; In the Hebrew version, on the first day light and dark are created to
mark the first day or the beginning of Time - while in the Greek version, the
first Greek god created was Chronos, also meaning Time.
The other examples in order from Hesiod and Genesis: (Day 2) Hebrew
creation of the "firmament" or sky; Greek god Japetus, meaning blue-eyed or
blue sky, (Day 3) Hebrew separation of ocean waters from the land;
Greek god Oceanus, (Day 4)
Hebrew formation of lights
traveling in the sky, moon and
planets; Greek god Hyperion,
meaning in Greek "he who travels
above," (Day 5) Hebrew creation
of birds and fish; Greek Coes, god
of animals in the sky and ocean,
(Day 6) Hebrew creation of land
fig 4. Six days of Creation from the Genesis story
animals and man; Greek Crius,
goat-like god of land animals.
The "seventh" Greek god, Zeus or Jove, became in the Hebrew version,
YHVH (pronounced "Yo-ve" or "Jo-ve" since in most Indo-European
languages the letters "Y" and "J" are interchangeable). The Hebrew name,
YHVH, the god who rested on the "seventh day" is never spoken or
pronounced in Hebrew. Otherwise, anybody would easily know it was exactly
the same as the contemporary generic Greek and Roman "seventh" gods Zeus
(living person, in Greek) or Jo-ve (Jove-pater, Jove the father, or Ju-piter in
Latin).
A SINGLE DIACRITICAL MARK CHANGES THE WHOLE BIBLE
The effect of that single inserted grammatical mark "et" is to denote

direct object, or the person acted upon by the subject in the Hebrew
sentence. If that single character were removed, then the first sentence of
Genesis, is reversed. Then the first sentence would literally translate as,
"Heaven (shamayim) and Earth (h'aretz) first made the gods (elohiym). But
that is exactly the same as the Hesiod Greek version of the text. Now you know
why the Hebrew version of the Torah has "gods" as plural in the first
sentence. It was simply lifted, as a whole, from the earlier Greek Hesiod
source, by some Hebrew scholar who first wrote down Genesis about 600 BC.
That's 200 years after Hesiod wrote his version.
But somebody, later simply stuck into the Hebrew scroll text that single
grammatical mark "et" to make it look like Judaism was not actually pagan,
just like the Greeks, but was monotheistic with a single Hebrew god, simply by
reversing the order of the very first sentence. That is the only place where the
grammar mark "et" is used in the Old
Testament biblical text. Since it is only a
grammar mark it is not indicated in
English or other language translations.
The only way we know the meaning of
that simple mark is from its use in other
non-biblical Hebrew texts. Simply
inserting or removing that one mark in
the first sentence completely changes the
whole demeanor of the later Hebrew
religion. It was a crude attempt, but I
caught the crude error by finding the fig 5. Inserting grammatical character "et"
original source for the text. Simply to convert a Greek pagan myth to a Hebrew
inserting that single character in the first monotheistic creation story
sentence of the first chapter was
sufficient to make the Hebrew national religion look like it was not Greek in
origin, but was some separate belief system belonging to the Jews. Not so.
THE ANCIENT SCIENCE IN THE BIBLICAL TEXTS
I have found many examples of hard-core early science, about astronomy,
mathematics, geology and lunar/solar time systems for making accurate
calendars in the first 10 chapters of Genesis. These scientific or ancient
wisdom references were lifted straight out of the earlier Greek, Egyptian and
Sumerian scientific sources, but the "names" were changed "to protect the
innocent." And here "innocent" means the Hebrew scribes who plagiarized
the earlier material without citing the original sources. Most of the early
religions also did the same things, including the Greeks, Egyptians,
Babylonians and Sumerians, so it's not just the Semites who plagiarized
material in order to tell a good story. The ancient science and wisdom
literature was simply passed off as original "miracle" stories or legends. But
not so.
Joshua took over command of the Hebrew army after the death of Moses
in about 1300 BC. So, supposedly, the book of Joshua should come after the
Books of Moses, or the scroll of the Torah. But as I pointed out, the Torah was
not written down until about 600 BC. So what about the Book of Joshua?
What is its source, and when was it written?
In the Joshua text itself, verse 10:13, it says, "Is this not written in the
Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to
go down for about a whole day." (Note: the spelling I found most often was
Jasher, not Jashar. But the early Hebrew syllabary had no vowels so either is
correct. The Hebrew text only shows J-SH-R.)
I spent nearly a decade trying to track down any source or reference to
the Book of Jasher. In 1991, I finally found a copy. It purported to be
something like an Armenian language text translated from the ancient

Coming next, finding the much older source of the ancient science and
wisdom behind all of modern religion. Did you ever hear of the Magi? How
did they get to be "wise men?"

GENESIS 1:1
('et)
eloh-heem'
bah-rah'
b'reh-sheeth'
GODS
MADE
AT FIRST
h'eh'-retz
v'et
h'shah-mah'-yim
THE EARTH
AND
THE HEAVENS
fig. 7. This is the first line of text from the ancient Hebrew Torah. Also known as
Genesis 1:1. The Hebrew text and letters are read from right to left. In Hebrew
grammar the sentence structure is Verb-Object-Subject. This sentence properly
translates as "The Heavens and the Earth at first made gods." The surreptitious
insertion was the Direct Object symbol "et" which reverses Subject and Object.
" "At first, I was confused as to where this mistaken translation might
have come from, but then I found the original source was "The New
Englishman's Hebrew Concordance" first published in English in 1843. What
is confusing is that the text has too many "the" words in it. The New
Englishman's says the following for the word et "."
"N.B. The place of "aleph-tav" ( when nothing is given in the English as
its meaning) is marked thus, )(."
In other words when you see )( in the Englishman's Concordance it means
the Hebrew text has the almost silent word with no translated meaning
"et." It then gives the literal translation of Gen 1:1 as:
"In the beginning God created )( the heavens
and )( the earth."
And that is pretty much what you find in most bibles. But that says that
there are two )( "s" in Gen 1:1 and not just one. If you check the original
Hebrew text, that is clearly incorrect. It is false. There is only one. So who is
trying to fool whom?
One of the confusions is that "v'et" is not the same as " et." The word
"v'et" means AND. As in h'shamyim (the heavens) v'et (and) h'eretz (the
earth). Yes, there are thousands of alef-tav characters in the biblical text, if it
is preceded by the character vav, since vav-alef-tav is the common conjunction
http://www.brojon.org/frontpage/JOSHUA-1.html

"and."
ADDITIONAL PROOF OF THE COVER UP MISTAKE
I should also add, that in Hebrew the specific article "the" is indicated by
adding the letter "he" at the front of the word. Thus shamyim means heavens,
but ha'shamyim is THE heavens, and eretz means world and ha'eretz is THE
world. What that means is that "ha'.." indicates "the" and that ")(" does not
mean "the." So the New Englishman's Concordance translation of the first
sentence has too many "the" words in it. It is not correct and just doesn't
make any sense.
In most Hebrew Concordances you can find " alef-tav" listed as being
used 26 times in Genesis 1. But in all those other cases it is added onto or
attached to the front of the noun word which the direct object of the sentence.
It does not stand alone as it does in Gen 1:1. In fact, it is not a word, but only
part of a word and it never stands alone. It never stands alone since it is not a
word with linguistic meaning, it only has grammatical meaning to indicate
direct object in the sentence.
For example: in Gen 4:1 it says "Adam knew Eve ... and she bore Cain."
This seems to be some kind of Hebrew poetry and for some reason they
needed to show who "knew" whom, since here the normal Hebrew word order
had been changed. Thus in the text it has "h'adam" knew "'et-h'eva." Here
the word "et-h'eva" or The First Mother has the added alef-tav " "sound
added to the front to show that it was Adam that knew Eve, and not the other
way around.
I had to laugh at that Hebrew usage, since the last time I checked with my
kids about the latest in sex education, whether Adam had sex with Eve, or Eve
had sex with Adam - it still comes out that Eve bore Cain. So whether they
added the "' "et sound to the front of the word Adam or Eve - they still
raised Cain. Maybe the ancient Hebrew scribes hadn't figured that out yet.
Also in that very same sentence, the "' "et sound is added to the front of
the name Cain, to show that it was "h'eva" who bore "'et-Cain" rather than
Cain bore Eve. To find out why all these strange grammar machinations to
figure out, who did what to whom, we need to know something about normal
word order in ancient Hebrew.
Coming next: How word order in the ancient Hebrew sentence Seals the
Proof of the Great Mistake in Genesis 1:1. What role did the Ancient Wise
men, the Magi, have in creating that mistake. And how modern science, math
and physics were delayed by thousands of years by covering up the Gnostic
Knowledge of ancient science.

Testament include: Melkezedek, fig 15. Botticelli's version of Moses helping the
Enoch, Elijah, Eli, and Samuel. daughters of Jethro at the well
Samuel was the last of the Hebrew
Magi. After him, the Kings Saul, David and Solomon, assumed they were
smart enough that they didn't need to listen to any Magi. After King David,
the few remaining wise Magi were called Prophets, who were completely
ignored by the later faltering Kings of Israel and Judah. If there is a message
in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible it would be: Listen to the advice of the
Magi and you will flourish and your society will thrive -- or if not, then your
kingdom will be destroyed, your people will be killed or taken off into slavery.
Which is pretty much all of the Hebrew Old Testament in a nutshell. Later
religious scholars like to turn the Old Testament into a "religious" document
by simply eliminating all references to the Magi in Hebrew history.
THE MASTERS OF TIME AND SPACE
The Beginnings of Mathematics and Science
I call the ancient Magi scholars the "masters of time and space" since
their studies included knowledge of science, physics, astronomy, mathematics
and the making of accurate calendars. Why calendars? You need an accurate
calendar to master time and space. Their discoveries included, by about 3,500
BC, knowledge of the diameter of the earth, exact length of the year as earth
goes around the sun, in-depth knowledge of medicine, electricity and lists of
accurate star charts and planetary motions. I will show you the evidence for
these discoveries and document where you can find them.
It was from those ancient Magi star charts, that all of western civilization
came to have, as you now know, a common alphabet with common sounds for
each of the symbols - based on the Magi names for the symbolic pictures that
they had discovered in the heavens nearly 6,000 years ago.
Why is it that all the wisdom, science and knowledge of the ancient Magi
was placed in the ancient biblical texts, and then later covered up? Maybe the
Magi, the biblical wise men themselves can show us the answer.

before the massive radiation event at the magnetic field reversal. Darwin's
"evolution" didn't and couldn't do all of that within several years. But that is
what the geologic record shows -- almost instantaneous "creation" of many
new species by intense random radiation with no intermediate "missing link"
forms, and all within one generation.
Since the time of the age of dinosaurs, which ended 65 million years ago,
there have been about 15 to 20 magnetic field reversals. At each reversal, there
is almost instantaneous creation of multitudes of new lifeforms, usually
resulting in many forms coming from just one earlier life form. And usually
the earlier life form disappears, since it is no longer competitive.
Another example: The early horse, eohippus, about the size of a dog,
disappeared, but became donkeys, horses and several equine variants such as
zebras which are almost related species. Notice, in this process there is no
gradual evolution -- and thus no "missing links" between species.
Charles Darwin, when he invented his evolution theory, knew nothing
about this, since "radiation" was not "discovered" until 50 years later by
Madame Currie. And the effect of radiation on DNA was completely
unknown, until DNA was "discovered" by Watson and Crick 100 years after
Darwin. Thus Darwin, in the mid-19th century, had no clue as to what might
be the actual cause to make one species change into another species. Thus
Darwin's Theory is wrong.
No missing links between species have ever been discovered. Now you
know why. The new species were "created" almost in the blink of an eye, by
intense solar radiation. No intermediate species or "missing link" were ever
born. The new mutant species were born directly from their highly radiated
and DNA-modified parents.
Thus, almost instantaneously, in geologic time, the new lifeforms are
"created" by the intense radiation, and then the survivors quickly "evolved"
in just one generation into the many viable new species.
Thus, it is time to end the inane debate between "creation versus
evolution." Both scientific and religious "beliefs" are wrong and cannot be
proved to be true. Both can be proved to be false. And also both are partly
"right" -- but for the wrong reason.
