directly to recorded Egyptian campaigns in the fifteenth and sixteenth<br />

centuries BCE. 331 Furthermore, Joshua supposedly destroyed Jericho: 332<br />

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and<br />

woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the<br />

sword … And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only<br />

the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into<br />

the treasury of the house of the Lord.<br />

When David ignored Yahweh’s genocidal commands, Yahweh<br />

said nothing. Nor did Yahweh say ought when Joshua flagrantly ignored<br />

two of the Moses’ Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt not kill” and “Thou<br />

shalt not steal.”<br />

Yet, it was not the Israelites but one of their tribal enemies, the<br />

Amorites, who raised Jericho in 1480BCE and continued to harass<br />

Thutmose III from their new base there.<br />

CJ Jung cannot dismiss the absence of human morality in<br />

Yahweh's commands to the Israelites. 333 He says that Yahweh<br />

demonstrates a gross deficiency of reason and morality, the two<br />

characteristics of a mature human mind. It provides an image of unethical<br />

brutal force.<br />

What Jung has perhaps overlooked is that these commands are<br />

not of the personal god of the Israelites, Yahweh, but of storytellers<br />

coming to grips with the Indo-Hittite god of war and trying to paint<br />

Yahweh into the extremes. Exodus provides evidence for Yahweh<br />

converting from a tribal deity to a nationalist one. In Exodus 3 Yahweh is<br />

simply the god of the fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Exodus 6(3)<br />

identifies him as the great El Shaddai. <strong>The</strong> power of the archetype is<br />

destabilizing to the paradigm if pushed to extremes.<br />

As we have noted, the Indo-Hittites favored oral communication<br />

of myths and legends over written records. <strong>The</strong>y developed verbal rituals<br />

for transmission of their myths and Israelite emulation of this has resulted<br />

in a profusion of Biblical archetypes later set down by Israelite and<br />

Jewish authors. This has always been a particular trait of the illusive<br />

Rosicrucians. Even today, it is usual in organizations such as the Scottish<br />

Rite.<br />

We have seen that the unique compression of Indo-Hittite and<br />

Afro-Asiatic Semitic cultures produced the very unusual phenomenon of<br />

the proto-Israelites. <strong>The</strong> Israelites and Indo-Hittites were then to join in a<br />

cooperative commercial venture to secure the Commagene region of<br />
