Ph.D. Dissertation Project
Research into the relationship between the Hebrew Bible and Egypt focuses increasingly on the religio-historical context of the 6th-4th centuries BC. However, for this period, the historical and cultural relations of the Yhwh cult centers in the central hill country of the southern Levant with the two lands on the Nile have not been comprehensively explored. So far, research has primarily concentrated on the Aramaic documents from Egypt, which testify to the presence of Yhwh worshippers on the Nile. Sources from Israel/Palestine, in contrast, have hardly been considered to address this question. My dissertation project, therefore, broadly evaluates the sources for relations with Egypt from the material culture of Israel/Palestine as well as from biblical texts. Thereby, it pursues the goal of an overall presentation of the historical and cultural contacts between Israel and Egypt in the Persian period.
