Chapter 10: Who Wrote the Bible and Why? 377 glorious tale of David and Solomon and their marvelous Ark were created to inspire the masses. We do, of course, think that these stories were based on more ancient models, but what is clear is that the Great King Solomon - whoever he might have been originally - was not a king of Israel or a worshipper of Yahweh. In searching for a single, clear mention of the existence of a major temple in Jerusalem during the period in question, that can be verified archaeologically, I have come up empty handed. Even Finkelstein, quoted above, sort of skips over the issue. He says that in the 7 th century BC, Jerusalem was a “relatively large city dominated by a Temple to Yahweh”. If that were the case, then there would not have been so much focus in the P document on the Tabernacle. It seems to have been fairly easy to put words in Moses’ mouth retroactively; that problem hadn’t stumped the priests so far; so why the big deal about the Tabernacle? They could have slid right over the Tabernacle problem altogether by having Moses say, “when you get there, fold up the tent and build a Temple”. For some reason, that was not an option. This “Tent of Meeting” was clearly something that the P Document sought to establish as an item of great significance to the people. For some reason, it had to be emphasized, and its historical status as the only Tabernacle that was legitimate obviously needed to be established over and above all other such “tents”. We find several new things in the P document that were obviously a new spin being put on something that was so commonly known and accepted by the people that it required specific “shaping” to the purposes of the priests. First of all, we have a new Fall Holiday that was formerly known as the Feast of Tabernacles. Next, we have a very specific Tabernacle itself. Finally, we have the ostensible reason for this tabernacle being the one and only legitimate tabernacle: an object that goes inside the tabernacle: the Ark of the Covenant! All the references to the Tabernacle in the P document suggest that this was an object with tremendous historical value because it was assembled under the direction of Moses himself. The P document describes it as the sacred shrine that housed the Ark of the Covenant, the tablets, the Urim and Thummim, and the cherubs. The P document tells us that the Tabernacle itself was constructed of precious wood, gold, brass, wool and linen woven with gold, scarlet, and purple, with a covering of red leather. Even though the Tabernacle was supposed to have resided at Shiloh with the Ark inside it, (according to the P text), the E document of the northern kingdom, the domain of the Shiloh priests, never mentions the ark! According to the E texts, the “Tent of Meeting” was the most important sign of god’s presence. God was in the tent, not the ark. And clearly there were many “Tents of Meeting”. The J document, on the other hand, mentions that the Ark was very important to the children of Israel as they journeyed to the Promised Land. In the book of Numbers, the Ark was said to have been carried in front of the people as they traveled. Another J text emphasizes the Ark as a military “weapon”; the idea being that it was impossible to be successful in military matters without it. And then, of course, in the J text remarks about the Temple of Solomon, we find that the Ark was the most important object in it. It should come as no surprise that the Tent of Meeting is never mentioned in the J document!
378 The <strong>Secret</strong> <strong>History</strong> of the World Of course, this leads us to a bit of a problem. If the kingdom of Omri was the mythicized/historicized Jewish Kingdom of Solomon, and yet they knew of no “ark”, and there is clear evidence that no Temple of Solomon ever existed in the kingdom of Judah wherein an ark could have been lodged prior to the time of Hezekiah, then were did the idea of the ark come from? What was the “real” Temple of Solomon? Well, we will come back to this. For now, we only need to understand that, via mythicization of history and historicization of myth, some serious prestidigitation is going on here. Tents that were formerly used for a particular purpose are now being eliminated, and the centralization process is beginning by the focus on one tent, and one tent only. The legitimization of that tent is based on its use as the “home of the ark”, and a “historical background” for this use of the tent is being created in the P text. Whatever the Tent of Meeting was used for in ancient times, and whatever the ark of the covenant might have been, it is interesting to note that the overall tenor of the J document - the ark people - is more balanced in its attitude toward women. The E document, from the Northern kingdom priests - the tent people - was quite male in perspective and concentrated on male characters with, essentially no heroines, such as Tamar in Genesis 38. No wonder Jezebel kicked them out! Speaking of Jezebel, the second to the last mention of the ark in the Bible is in 2 Chronicles, 8:11 265 , where it is mentioned in relation to Solomon and his wife, the daughter of Pharaoh. Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David into the house he had built for her, for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy to which the ark of the Lord has come. The next to the last mention of the ark is also in 2 Chronicles, 35:3: To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the Lord, he said, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon son of David, king of Israel built; it shall no longer be a burden carried on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and His people Israel. We will shortly discuss the authorship of the books of Kings, but let us just say here that the authorship of Chronicles reflects the language and interests of the Aaronid priests. Most especially, they extol Hezekiah, which indicates that this was the point in time when the P text was produced. The last mention of the ark in the Bible is a sneering “I told you so” kind of comment by Jeremiah who writes: And it shall be that when you have multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they shall no more say, The ark of the covenant of the Lord. It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they miss or visit it, nor shall it be repaired or made again. 265 Nice numbers for all the esotericists!
