Provide me with three sources, books published in academic presses or articles in peer-reviewed journal articles, by extablished professors of Biblical/Ancient Near Eastern history or archeology, that make this claim. That is all I ask for. ] | ] 22:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Think all you want. I will delete all fringe views drawn from phony sources. The ''only'' burden of proof is on the person adding material, to demonstrate that it is not fringe and comes from a reliable source. You cannot do that. Have you read Noth's History of Israel? john bright's? Kaufman's ''The Religion of Israel''? Shaye Cohen's history of the emergence of Jewish identity? i have, these are my sources and they are unimpeachable. You - you are just making stuff up. ] | ] 23:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
