THE BIBLE UNEARTHED: THE MAKING OF A RELIGION -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
However, THE BIBLE refers to A CONFLICT: the well-known incident of the golden calf that occurred when Moses went up Mt. Sinai TO RECEIVE the Tablets of the Law from Yahweh.
While Moses was going up to the mountaintop,
the people waiting in the valley made a golden calf.
As in other similar passages in the Old Testament, the idol was ULTIMATELY DESTROYED, and YAHWEH TRIUMPHED!
What did this conflict between divinities, and this victory of Yahweh represent? WHAT HISTORICAL REALITY DID IT REFLECT?
Is there archaeological evidence for the existence of the worship of Yahweh in the kingdom [?] of Judah [?] ?
