[Narrator] The Old Testament is a MYSTERIOUS and COMPLEX work. It contains a set of rules and requirements that form the basis of both a religion and a civilization[?]: Judaism.
But it is also a historical [?] work that tells the STORY of the ancient Israelites.
In the previous episode, we learned that the STORY of the Patriarchs -- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob -- was put into writing for the first time in the 7th Century B.C. [?], in the kingdom of Judah [?]. Two researchers, Neil Silberman and Israel Finkelstein put forward that HYPOTHESIS.
But what about the other GREAT stories of the Bible? Many of the vestiges discovered in the sites of Canaan
are the remains of a sophisticated civilization -- THAT OF EGYPT, an all-pervasive presence.
Do these objects bear any relation to one of the most FAMOUS stories of the Old Testament:
That of the conflict between Moses and the Pharoah?
