Technophobe biblical archeaologist seeks help

[mosassam]

Hail and well met members of Hypography. Whilst browsing for info concerning my chosen hobby - bibarch and the exodus - I stumbled across this forum and after reading a few posts realised the help I am seeking may well be here. If anyone has a similar interest as myself I would love to here from them. My main problem at the moment is in understanding certain passages of the Old Testament regarding the exodus. The general concensus seems to be one thing whereas my own interpretation (which is limited to what I loosely refer to as 'common sense') seems to be another.

Case in point - it is generally agreed that Moses dies alone on a mountain before the Israelites enter Canaan. However, my own reading of the relevant passages leads me to an utterly different account of events.

Before I can move on to the archeaology part of the subject I need to clear up where I'm going wrong biblically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Mosassam and welcome to Hypography.

 

I doubt we will be of any help in the boundaries of the discussion you indicate. This is a science site and theology-related discussion is limited by 4064 which keep it so. In particular:

...This is not the place to discuss Bible verses...

Debating the interpretation of scripture simply isn't what Hypography is about. Personally, I've just read the last chapter of the pentateuch and it seems very straight-forward to me, but this site wouldn't be the place for you and I to discuss our interpretations of it.

 

But, archeology, now there's a sport we can all get behind :blahblahblah:
