The Language of the Pentateuch in its Relation to Egyptian V1 is a book written by A. S. Yahuda. The book explores the relationship between the language used in the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) and the Egyptian language. Yahuda examines the linguistic similarities and differences between the two languages and argues that the Pentateuch was heavily influenced by Egyptian language and culture. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the language of the Pentateuch and its relationship to Egyptian. The author provides detailed analysis of specific words and phrases, as well as broader linguistic patterns and structures. The book is aimed at scholars and students of ancient languages and cultures, particularly those interested in the Hebrew Bible and its historical context. It is the first volume in a two-part series and provides a thorough and insightful examination of the linguistic connections between the Pentateuch and Egyptian.1933. The main object of this book is to deal with Hebrew-Egyptian relations from the linguistic aspect, and many passages and allusions in the Joseph and Exodus narratives of a distinctly Egyptian coloring have been excluded.
