In Kenite lore, the divine smith Tubal-cain is also Baal Gad, the
goat-god who is the eponymous ancestor of the tribe of Gad. He
epitomizes the ancient association of smiths with goat and horned gods.
A grotto sacred to Baal Gad exists at the source of the Jordan River. 215 It
is situated at the base of a high limestone cliff, over which perches the
city of Caesarea Philippi. 216
Kenite itself means welding or possessions in addition to
belonging to Kain. The Kenites were a tribe of Midianite copper miners
who lived amongst the warlike Amalekites, descended from Haggar. 217
On leaving Egypt, the Israelites met the Amalekites in flight to their
native lands.
The minor tribe of the Midianites was an Asiatic people of the
Arab/Palestinian Kush, called Kush Magan. In early times, Magan
extended over both sides of the Persian Gulf. 218 Later in 1100BCE, at
about the time of Israelite conflicts with the Midianites, Assyrian sources
note that Kush Magan was a region on the South side of the Euphrates,
not far from Karkemish. The Massorets regarded this Kush Magan as the
Babylonian Kish. 219
We digress for a moment to mention the Kushites because of their
importance in the Hyksos story. The Meluhha Kushites were a second
Kushite or Amalekite group. They were mercenaries and traders in
metals and weapons. Their mercenary activities continued long after the
Hyksos invasion. The Amarna letters show that Palestinian kinglets hired
them. Indeed, later Meluhha and Arab became interchangeable words. 220
The Mlecha in Vedic literary sources are the Meluhha Kushites
that derive from India or Pakistan. 221 Eusebius notes that the Ethiopian
Kushites came from India. The Musri in Egypt and in early Akkadian
literature are also Meluhha Kushites. The Hyksos title hekaw khasout is
an almost literal loan from the Akkadian sar kissati, the supreme royal
title of king from the hill country.
These Meluhha are the same as the maritime Kaphtorim who
maintained ports in the Mediterranean. 222 Kaphtorim or Caphtorim is one
of the two Biblical tribes of Mizraim that inhabited the region between the
Nile River of Egypt and Sile. 223 The other Mizraim tribe is Lehabim.
Mizraim led colonies into Egypt to lay the foundation of the Kingdom of
Egypt.
The Meluhha, Arabs and Hiskija or Hyksos formed an alliance
about the time of Bochoris (720-715BCE). Late antique sources report
that they returned to rebuild Avaris in alliance with the king of Jerusalem.
