Mishlei ch.23 - Is this chapter an Egyptian text?
Published 1 year, 8 months ago
Description
Is chapter 22-24 of Proverbs plagiarized from the Egyptian teachings of Amenemope?
A striking resemblance is found between the two texts. If this does have its origin in Egyptian wisdom literature, how did it find its way to King Solomon? And does it belong in the Tanakh?
