add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Aegypten und die Bücher Mose's. Sachlicher Commentar zu den Aegyptischen Stellen in Genesis und Exodus," by Georg Ebers. Ebers has no object in view but purely critical examination, comparison, and elucidation. As an Egyptologist, bent neither on assailing nor defending scriptural statements, he lends the light, of his science to illuminate all of the first two books of Bücher Moses that has any reference to the history or the language of Egypt. The author gives an introductory sketch on "hieroglyphic writing and its deciphering," and another, more ample, on the physical geography of Egypt.
