Re: Need help - fixing translation into English of an articl
Who can fix the text (orthography and grammar only), please ?
- The lifetime of the Old Testament Israelites estimated in 70 years, no wonder today, in rare cases, 80 years (2Sam19:32, Ps90(89):10 ). By (Flavius.JA) upper age limit of taking into account the soldiers is 50 years in the 2-d census (the 1-st year of the Exodus), and this limit is removed in the third census (42 year of the Exodus), that may indicate the low life expectancy in wandering. After ~ 40-41 year Num26:64, "But among these (603550 + restored # of of Levites >154440) there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai." of older than 20, allegedly left only three (Num26:64-65), Moses (who died a month before the entry into Palestine), Joshua the son of Nun, Caleb, Jephunneh ... (Num14:22-24, Num14:29-30, Num26:51, Num1:45-46 , Deut34:1-5, Josh14:6-10) Hence (the age: 20 + 41 = 61) the very few people survived up to 60 years, Moses could not have been 80 years old at the beginning of the Exodus.
In the year of the Exodus, by (KJV) Ex7:7 "And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh." They died in ~ 120 years, which is incredible ... I remind, that in some languages very easy overmiracling 18 to 80, for example, in Slavonic 'восемь на десят' -> 'восемь десят', in English 'eight on the tenth' -> 'eight-tenths'. By (Flavius.JA) Moses is not 80 years old at the beginning of the Exodus, but 18, that is exactly fit to the 43-year-old staying 'Jews' in 'Egypt'.
By (Apocr.Apocal) his parents peers "... because one day he was born, and my daughter.(my translation)" In Ex6:20 "And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years." If we remove obvious postscript of 100 years, Amram 'dies' at age of 37 years old in the year of Moses escaping, killed one 'Egyptian', may be answering his life for the crime of son (Ex2:15). He is not mentioned in the Bible since that. Jochebed, Moses 'mother, by restored date of (BofJubilee) was born on the 50th anniversary of Levi '46j.3s.7y.' - '44j.3s.6y.1m.1d.' = 49.9 years. If she gave birth to Miriam at her 17-18 years old, then there ware still 2-3 years postpartum recovery to conceive Aaron. Three years later, Moses is born (Ex7:7). At this time, Mariam could be from 5 to 10 years old, which agrees with the age described in the Bible: Ex2:8 "And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother." (AB) "... young woman ...", (BBE) "... the girl ...", (Darby) "... damsel ..." ie no longer a child, but still not a woman. Let me remind you that the Dinah, the sister of Joseph raped 9 y.o. in Shechem (BofJubilee), and as described in 12 y.o., "... and she was a little girl, a child of twelve years."
The order of a new 'bad' Pharaoh to kill newborn boys (Ex1:15-16, Ex1:17-20) arrives, as can be seen from the chronological table,
just in time about the birth of Moses, Aaron has not yet been affected to this. The 'bad' Pharaoh enslaved Jews dies (Ex2:15, Ex4:19) after further 16-21 years and Moses could return back. But not for rescue them from slavery (Ex3:9)? I.e., two Pharaoh was replaced, and of Bible we sometimes think that was only the one who started to incite the midwives to kill the 'Jewish' newborn boys and oppress the 'Jews' and oppressed them until the Exodus. Start 'plagues', from which was to save his people, Moses actually.
According to the conditional 'age pyramid' of the list of names of the Levites, which reflects more active personages of the Exodus in Its most active period, than ages of persons, the generation of Moses is most numerous, and the relations of the age fractions of the pyramid STTR refers to the youngest age of more capable fraction. The words (OstRih) Ex13: 18 "... the 5 knees came out..." can talk about the number of the generations came forth 5. At the lowest reproductive age 13-17 y.o., we can assume the following age gradation generations of refugees: the 1-st generation - babies & children ~ 0-12 y.o.; 2-d - teens ~ 13-16 y.o.; 3rd - mature - 26-33 y.o.; 4th - 39-66 y.o.; 5-th, the smallest, ~ 52-72 y.o.
