		Mythology figures prominently in most religions, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion.
		Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history.
		Mythology is alive and well in the modern age through urban legends, scientific mythology, and many other ways.

		It is apparently related to the Hebrew word ēl, though morphologically it consists of the Hebrew word Eloah (אלוה) with a plural suffix.
		Elohim is the third word in the Hebrew text of Genesis and occurs frequently throughout the Hebrew Bible.
		Elohim has plural morphological form in Hebrew; while it tends to used with singular verbs and adjectives in the Hebrew text when the particular meaning of the God of Israel (a singular deity) is traditionally understood, there are several examples where we see plural verbs and adjectives with the "singular" God of Israel.

	Science Fair Projects - Jewish mythology
		Whilst Jewish mythology is often a field of study for mostly secular scholars, Jewish mysticism is an inherent part of large parts of Sephardic Jews and of all Hasidic Judaism Jews as they follow the teachings of some of the greatest rabbis respected by ALL Jews.
		In Orthodox Judaism, for the most part, mysticism is part of Judaism whereas mythology is a pejorative term applied by critics of Judaism to denigrate what Orthodox Jews consider to be their faith's true teachings.
		Neither of these great Jewish sages were considered to be devotees of mythology, on the contrary, they were classical rabbis who believed that Judaism incorporates within itself a whole strata of mysticism such as in the Kabbalah.

	Jewish mythology - InformationBlast
		Followers of Hasidic Judaism and large portions Sephardic Jews refer to the subjects of mythology as mysticism and consider it part of the authoritative Oral Law of the Torah given by God to Moses, the Jewish prophets and Jewish sages.
		Even those who are convinced about Jewish mythology, agree that while Judaism has a large body of both "law" AND "lore"contained in Torah (the "Five Books of Moses") and the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible, or "Old Testament") as interpreted by the Midrash, this is not normally considered mythology.
		The Jewish mythology school of thought include those who think that there are a number of stories and legends that are mythological but do not derive from sacred texts.

	The Hebrew and Other Creations
		Mythology never did inculcate the historic fall of man. Theologists have ignorantly supposed that it did, and as a result they were bitterly opposed to the ascent of man, made known by means of evolution!
		Mythology is an ancient system of knowledge, with its own mode of expression, which enshrined the science of the past in what looks to us at times like foolish and unmeaning fables.
		The imagery and types of mythology can, of course, be used as a mode of expression for later ideas, and for moral or spiritual significations--just as we continue to say the moon rises, or the sun sets, after we know better; but, from the mundane standpoint, the natural, the physical, the external alone were primal.

	Biblical mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast to the religious use of these texts, scholars of mythology are interested in the stories of the Bible for their role within the religious or ethnic community that has preserved them, and the comparison to other traditions.
		In this regard, one of the most studied areas of mythology compares the creation accounts of cultures surrounding the ancient Jews, with the creation narratives of the Bible, especially in the book of Genesis, and a few other texts.
		The commandments in the Hebrew Bible against idolatry are rejoinders to the beliefs and practices of the ancient polytheistic religions of the ancient near-east and middle-east.

	Jewish mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scholars of religion hold that people in the time of the Hebrew Bible had beliefs and superstitions analogous to those found among their contemporaries, and among some modern peoples.
		Many scholars of religion hold that some of the early Israelite views about the creation of the world and of humanity are derived from the mythology and folklore of the surrounding ancient near-eastern nations, such as Babylon, Sumerian and Akkadia.
		Thus mythology by comparative research may throw light upon certain Biblical practises, but they are just those practises that are opposed by the Hebrew prophets.

	Mythology » 2006 » October
		It embodies several strands of ancient Hebrew tradition, one of which reflects a myth of the destruction of mankind which is independent of the Flood myth.
		The P account ends with the words which sum up the divine act previously described, ‘These are the generations (Hebrew toledoth) of the heaven and of the earth when they were created.’; We have already seen that in both the Egyptian and the Babylonian myths the activity of creation consists in a process of begetting.
		Moreover, the Hebrew word used for the chaos of waters, ‘the deep’, is tehom, a word which is generally acknowledged to be a Hebrew corruption of the name Tiamat, the Babylonian name of the chaos-dragon slain by Marduk before he proceeded to create order out of chaos.

	Demon - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters
		In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon (sometimes known as a "Däemon") is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit, or daemon and Jinn.
		There are indications that popular Hebrew mythology ascribed to the demons a certain independence, a malevolent character of their own, because they are believed to come forth, not from the heavenly abode of God, but from the nether world (compare Isaiah xxxviii.
		The jinn are considered as divinities of inferior rank, having many human attributes: they eat, drink, and procreate their kind, sometimes in conjunction with human beings; in which latter case the offspring shares the natures of both parents.

	Chapter One - Ernst Rappaport
		The disobedience of the Hebrews to their God, indefatigably emphasized in their legends, is utilized to testify that the hero of the single anti-Jewish legend must also be a God and therefore not accepted by the Jews.
		In Greek mythology Hera, the wife of Zeus, was nursing the hero Herakles (Hercules) at her breast when Zeus came and angrily pulled the infant away.
		The earliest memory of the Hebrew tribes was the nomadic life in the desert and it is understandable that it must have left an indelible imprint in the collective memory of the people because, according to Genesis (15:13), it lasted four hundred years.

		And on the days sacred to the Nile, boys, the children of priestly families, were every year dedicated to the blue river-god that they might spend their youth in monastic retirement, and as it was said, in these caverns beneath his waves.
		The Hebrew writer, however, is never misled, so far as to think that any part of the creation was its own creator.
		27, we read in the Hebrew that wisdom was present "when God fixed the arch upon the face of the deep"; and through those waters under the earth the Egyptians, like most other ancient people, believed that the sun passed during the hours of night.

		Later work on Hebrew mythology there has been but not, as before, on the part of professed theologians; and even that, as we shall see, is to a considerable extent unconvincing, thus failing to counteract the arrest of the study.
		Thus mythology is poised on a single stem, where inductive research shows it to have had many; and where in particular the study of animal life, which Mr.
		Thus again the science of Mythology, which is the basis of the science of Hierology, is confronted by a principle of schism, as the result of a great thinker's determination to shape the doctrine of evolution in terms of his own specific thought, to the exclusion or subordination of other men's discoveries.

	Why does Greek mythology ostensibly lack many of the "survivalistic" traits of Jewish holy texts? \| Ask MetaFilter
		What we have now as Greek mythology is at best distantly related to the forms in which it was the object of popular, believing worship.
		Ancient Greek mythology is more about making sense of nature and freedom, or as Nietzsche would say, a system of right versus right embodied by noble action, rather than an absolute right versus wrong embodied by opposition to sin (conformity).
		The difference between the older Babylonian gods and Yahweh is that their acts were performed in a sacred and mythological frame of reference, but He took action in the current lives of his followers (the Exodus being a prime example).

	languagehat.com: Comment on HEBREW OR ISRAELI?
		I know very little Hebrew, but I remember that in the formative state of Ivrit many abstract substantives ending on -ut were created to cover the needs of modern times, and even words like renaissance were just borrowed, as rnsns.
		The formation of Israeli was NOT the result of language contact between spoken Hebrew and a powerful superstratum, such as English in the case of some vernacular Arabics, Kurdish in the case of Neo-Aramaic, or French in the case of English.
		Had the Hebrew revival been successful, they would indeed have spoken a language closer to ancient Hebrew than Modern English is to Chaucer, because they would have bypassed more than 2000 years of natural development.
