These questions must be answered within the essay.

What were the chapter’s main points made about the origins of Judaism?
Abraham
Mesopotamia – G-d tells him to go to canaan – create a covenant – monotheism (source – torah – genesis 12: 1-2)
Moses
Egypt – good tymes later became slaves (torah – ten commandments)
2. What sources did the textbook use to make their points/arguments? The tanach, ten commandments ( governing judaism)
3. What sources, from our time period under discussion, does the chapter not make use of? Physical artifacts – all textual evidence from the tanach
4. What does the chapter leave out that you think should have been included?
Split of the sea did not give in depth of what happened and how hashem was so powerful.
5. In your judgement, does the chapter do a satisfactory job in point to the origins of Judaism? I feel like in the chapter it summarized more or less of what we learned in class. In class we learned a more detailed and in depth story in the history of the israelites and artifacts.
6. What does the archeological evidence discussed in class add to our understanding of the Ancient Israelites that were not discussed in the book?
The Mesha Stele
Shiloh (Siloam) Inscription
