<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8099893, member: 110350&quot;]If you&#039;re talking to me, no, I don&#039;t believe in the historicity of the Biblical Abraham -- as opposed to the existence of many other historical individuals named Abraham! -- given, among other things, that his name simply means &quot;father of many&quot; in Hebrew. And given that I don&#039;t believe that, historically speaking, the Hebrews/Israelites had their origins in Ur, or Egypt, or anywhere else, really, besides Canaan. For a summary of the historical/archaelogical evidence, I recommend the book by K.L. Knoll entitled <i>Canaan and Israel in Antiquity: a Textbook on History and Religion</i> (2d ed. 2013).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
