	BIBLIA Odkrycie w Solebie egipt :.
		It is interesting to note that the Shasus (Bedouins) would have meant to the Egyptians specific Bedouins staying with their bundles, in the region North of the Sinai.
		The land of the Shasu may be the same area as the Midianites in the Bible where Moses stayed for 40 years (Axelsson 1987, 61; Giveon 1964a, 415-16).
		Like the Hebrews, the Shasu were cattle-herders who wandered on foot in yearly cycles in search for forage between their home-base lands east of the Arabah and areas as distant as northern Syria and Egypt.

		Shasu are found in Egyptian texts from the 18th Dynasty through the Third Intermediate Period.
		The contemporary, Egyptian, descriptian of the Shasu enclaves in the highlands differs somewhat from that given in Judges of the early Israelites, The number of pastoral transhumants within the bounds of Cis- and Transjordan from the fourteenth through the twelfth centuries B.C. accounted for a substantial proportion of the population.
		The Shasu settlement in the Palestinian highlands, or nascent Israel as we should call it, and whatever related group had begun to coalesce in the Judaean hills to the south, led a life of such rustic simplicity at the outset that it has scarcely left an imprint on the archeological record.

		The Shasu reference of Thutmose IV must be understood as a geographical term, no matter what region is intended by the reference to "the eastern country".
		But if Shasu is a regional or directional reference in the the inscriptions of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep II, and if either or both of these documents is contemporary with the Annals (a fact we will argue later) then this all but demands that the identical name in the Annals be interpreted likewise.
		The battle with the Shasu was in fact a battle with the Babylonians, the Easterners.

		On the east side of the northern wall of the great Hypostyle Hall in Amun's temple at Karnak we find two series of scenes, which are distributed symmetrically on either side of the entrance to the temple, representing the wars of Seti I who succeeded Ramses I on the throne.
		Their tribal leaders are gathered in one place, standing on the foothills of Khor (Palestine) and are engaged in turmoil and uproar." And although Seti I was able to stop the Shasu leaving Sinai, forty years later, during the 20th year of Ramses II, we find them already in Canaan.
		Shasu was the name given by the Egyptians to the Beduin of Sinai, known in both the Bible and the Quran as the Midianites, allies of Moses.

		The term first originated in a 15th century list of peoples in the Transjordan, with one of the Shasu described as "Yhw in the land of the Shasu".
		Redford - implies that from this evidence the people that would eventually be the "Israel" recorded on the Merneptah Stele (widely known as the Israel Stele) and later form the Kingdom of Israel were originally a Shasu tribe.
		As a result of this, some have used Redford's work to verify the Exodus, but since no contemporary sources exist regarding an Exodus, this link remains sketchy.

		But lists from Soleb and Amarah ultimately of fifteenth century BC origin suggest that an original concentration of Shasu settlements lay in southern Trans-Jordan in the plains of Moab and northern Edom.
		Here a group of six names is identified as in 'the land of the Shasu' and these include #1--Se'ir (Edom) #2--Laban (Libona, south of Amman) #3--Sam'ath (Shim'ethites, a clan of the Kenites: 1 Chron.
		2:55) #4-- Wrbr (Wady Hasa) #5--Yhw #6--Pysps Elsewhere in texts of the 19th and 20th Dynasties, the consistent linking of Shasu with Edom and the Arabah (Timna) places the identifications on the earlier lists beyond doubt.

		"The 'apiru and the nomads (Shasu) are the people that the Egyptians, according to the inscriptions of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth dynasties, met in Palestine.
		These are therefore the ancestors of many of the 'tribes' of the central hill country that we later meet in the biblical narratives about the period of the so-called Judges."
		"In the sixty-year period, from about 1320 to 1260 B.C., the Shasu are chronicled as continuing to foment trouble in their native habitat of the steppe, and as pressing westward through the Negeb toward major towns along the Via Maris.

		Kharu, sometimes translated as Horu, was defined by Amenhotep II as a specific people, as are the Shasu and the Retenu.
		The name Shasu, according to Donald Redford, literally means "a people who move on foot", which would explain why they have often been referred to as Bedouins in many references.
		The destruction which the mighty sword of the Pharaoh L.P.H. made among the vanquished of the Shasu, from the Fortress of Tharu to Pekanan, when his majesty marched against them like a fierce-eyed lion, making them carcasses in their valleys, overturned in their blood like those that exist not.

		When Israel was wandering in the desert they may have been identified with the Shasu, but when they moved into the hill country of Palestine, they were probably called Hapiru.

		Their homeland was also called the land of Seir; Mount Seir appears to have been strongly identified with them and may have been a cultic site.
		The Edomites may have been connected with the Shasu and Shutu, nomadic raiders mentioned in Egyptian sources.
		Indeed, a letter from an Egyptian scribe at a border fortress in the Wadi Tumilat during the reign of Merneptah reports movement of nomadic "shasu-tribes of Edom" to watering holes in Egyptian territory.

		Redford also notes that in the 19th and 20th Dynasties, the Shasu are placed consistently in Edom and the Arabah (Timna).
		We also know from the lists from Soleb and Amarah that the Shasu were associated with the worship of a storm god called Yhw, a short form of the Hebrew name of the God of Moses, in the late fifteenth century BCE.

		Although they were subjected to various controls, whether they were ever so completely integrated as has been proposed for the Shasu bedouin of the Sinai, for example, is not known.
		This integration may have been so complete, that the Shasu were recruited to man the fortresses of the "Ways of Horus" (Oren 1987:94-95).
		There is a stela, known as Tanis II, that contains a vague reference to Ramesses II capturing "the country of the west" and putting its inhabitants to military service (Kitchen 1996:119; 1999:174).

		Akhenaten gathered his Shasu allies in Sinai, and decided to cross the borders of Egypt into Canaan, where he could establish his rule in foreign parts of the Egyptian empire, in order to prepare an army to allow him to return and challenge Ramses.
		Ramese, however, died at this moment and was followed by his son Seti I. Seti left the body of his father for the priests to mummify, and went out to chase Akhenaten and his Shasu followers in northern Sinai.
		Seti met Akhenaten in a face to face battle on top of a mountain, and was able to damage his eye before he killed him and left his body unburied on the mount.

		The Shasu was a tribe of people living in the highlands of Palestine bordering Egypt, their records date to about 1300 BCE.
		Yahweh according to these ancient legends was a jealous God, being uglier than the rest of his brothers he was the only one so ugly he could not procure for himself a female companion.
		The unlucky Shasu worshipped the cruel, ugly, jealous deity known as Yahweh.

		The people of Ysiraal in this inscription are identified by the Pharaoh with the nomads of the Edomites Shasu or Shepherds, and are classed by him with the confederate marauders who invaded Egypt with the Libu, and were defeated with huge slaughter at the battle of Procepis (pa-ar-shep, which is also recorded on the monuments.
		They were a tribe or totemic communityy of cattle-keepers, one of "tribes of the Shasu from the land of Aduma" who went down into Egypt in search of grazing ground to find sustenance for their herd in the region of the delta.

		To-day it looked as if the sons of the desert had assailed it; but the men and women who were bustling about below and on the broad parapet of the gigantic building were Hebrews, not Shasu.
		The better classes took no share in this work, but among the busy throng, spite of the lateness of the hour, were children of all ages, carrying away in pots, jugs, and dishes-borrowed from their mothers’ cooking utensils—as much as they could.

		If you think that a gang of ‘Apiru or Habiru, an uprooted population, or Shasu, or whatever, in the 12th century could be identified as Israel, and, that in the turmoil of the 12th century, they took over a city, then it’s a possibility.
		The question, however, is not whether you have a group of people, ‘Apiru or Shasu, one of whom is called Israel.
		The question is when something larger and more significant grew out of that, something that has a territorial aspect to it.

	Nabataea: Hyksos and Edom, Chapter 3, The Birth of Edom
		It is to be noted that this name Rutenu or Lotan is used in the Tale of Sinuhe, during the reign of Sesostris I of the XIIth Dynasty, about 1950 B.C. This demonstrates that the name was in use at that time.
		The word "Shasu" means "plunderers" and "robbers," an epithet befitting their characteristic of extracting heavy tolls of all passengers through those regions.
		But in any case, it is striking to note that "Rutanu" (Lotan) has been replaced by "Shasu" somewhere between XIIth Dynasty times and the XVIIIth Dynasty, just as the Bible states the Horites were replaced by the Edomite shepherds about that time.

		As someone else has pointed out, the "Shasu" is a term given for nomadic peoples, on those who "move on foot" /SAs/.
		Redford notes in his _Egypt, Israel and Canaan in Ancient Times_, that beginning as early as the Fifth Dynasty, however, the term came to refer to people encountered by the Egyptians from the north.
		While related to the types of people today called the Bedouin, Redford notes the major distinction being that all travel was completely by foot, without the use of camels.

		Here, Akhenaten/Moses lived among the Shasu (Midianites) Bedouins with whom he formed an alliance.
		Left with no choice but to flee from Egypt with his followers—the Israelites and Egyptians who embraced the Atenist faith—Akhenaten/Moses began the Exodus toward the Sinai via the marshy area to the south of Zarw and north of Lake Temsah, as this watery route would hinder the pursuit of Egyptian chariots.
		Seti I, son of Ramses, led an army against Akhenaten/Moses, the Israelites, and the Shasu, and defeated them, with great slaughter, at many locations on the Horus Road as well as central Sinai.

	ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE BIBLE
		Thus, our earliest reference to the Mosaic deity Yahweh connects the Hebrews to the Shasu, whose territory was the mountainous areas of Se'ir in northern Midian east of the Arabah and south of Edom.
		That the territory of the Shasu was an early center of devotion to Yahweh is supported by a number of biblical references that inform us that "Yahweh came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran" (Deuteronomy 33:2) and originating in Edom.
		And, of course, it is at Mount Horeb in Midian that Moses is said to have had his first encounter with Yahweh (Exodus 3:1-3) as well.
