Excellent & well reasoned - and I agree with your statements. Even if "Hebrew" and broader group "Hyksos", spanning a loose stream of arrival over time, were not "one & same", they were certainly both "Levantine". Conventional historians converge and form a stoic common opinion sometimes with one base error assumption. **Maybe not all readers are aware of the Egyptian Pharoah "standard declaration" regarding 1. Rebuilding sites damaged (by some kind of foreign force) 2. Extending sacred sites better than any predecessor, and from Hatshepsut onwards, 3. Divine birth 4. Driving out Hyksos and rebuilding their desecration, when it is established that that the expulsion of these Eastern Delta dwellers had been completed before Hatsheput's reign: too much too often is incorrect by assigning a literal meaning to standard statements of Pharaohic legitimacy. **Overall, this site produces really excellent material - congratulations!
