The Book of Genesis as a Great Compilation of Texts and Meanings from the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt: A Pilot Culturological, Medical, Archaeological, and Textological Examination of the Legends versus Traditional Attribution. Chapter 18 

By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD




[i] Abstract

The Book of Genesis (Bereshith) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reached its definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption of Thera. This study argues that the work was the result of a collaboration between an Egyptian polymath and a distinguished scribe of Asiatic descent. By analyzing ancient texts, anatomical descriptions, archaeological data, Bronze Age cultural history, and climatic markers, this article demonstrates that the book emerged from the work of a high-ranking socio-political committee within the Egyptian House of Life. We argue that the inclusion of precise anatomical data, such as the ligamentum capitis femoris, serves as a diagnostic marker of this Egyptian medical-scribal collaboration, challenging the late-date theories of the documentary hypothesis.



[ii] Book of Genesis. Chapter 18 Analysis    


Excerpts from the Book of Genesis
(1922LeeserI:19–21)

Type of Similarity and Justification

Ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian Contexts
(Parallels, Analogies, Similarity, Borrowings, Inversions)

1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.

See:

13:18 Then Abram pitched his tent, and came and dwelt in the grove of Mamre, which is in Hebron ; and he built there an altar unto the Lord.

 

Toponymic Verification

The correspondence between the biblical text and archaeological data constitutes a topographical parallel, confirming the factual geographical coexistence of the mentioned locality during the specified historical period.

 

Levant

Hebron flourished in the 17th–16th centuries BCE, but then was destroyed and remained deserted throughout the Late Bronze Age. The date of its foundation is still unclear (2005Na'amanN:180).

 

1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day. 2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him ; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground ;

 

Clinical-Literary Parallel

There is a distinct medical parallel between the biblical description of Abraham sitting in the «heat of the day» and the physiological symptoms of heatstroke, which can manifest as triplopia and impaired consciousness.

 

Egypt

In Case № 8 of the «Edwin Smith Papyrus» (1650–1550 BCE), strabismus is described in the context of traumatic brain pathology (1930BreastedJH:201,437; sae.saw-leipzig.de). In the presence of such visual organ pathology, an individual experiences double vision. Furthermore, at the onset of the clinical development of heatstroke, impairment of consciousness may be observed, as well as vertical nystagmus (2005DeleuD_ZalabanyHA). According to J. R. Keane (2006), triplopia was observed in 85% of patients with eye movement disorders.

 

1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day. 2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him ; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground ; 3 And he said. My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. … 32 And he said. Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once : Peradventure there will be found there ten. And he said, I will not destroy, for the sake of the ten. 33 And the Lord went away, when he had finished speaking with Abraham ; and Abraham returned unto his place.

 

Psychopathological Symptomatology

There is a correspondence in the recording of altered states of consciousness (hallucinations and delirium), which may result from hyperthermia, intoxication on one hand and a space-occupying lesion in the brain on the other.

 

Mesopotamia

In the Akkadian «Epic of Gilgamesh», the ailing hero speaks in a state of delirium: «Enkidu raised his eyes, ... and spoke to the door as if it were human: "You stupid wooden door, with no ability to understand ... ! Already at 20 leagues I selected the wood for you, until I saw the towering Cedar ... Your wood was without compare in my eyes".» (1989KovacsMG:60). The standard version of the «Epic of Gilgamesh» was first written in the Old Babylonian period (1800–1600 BCE) (1989KovacsMG:xxii).

Additionally, in a letter from Uṣur-awāssu addressed to his lord Yasmaḫ-Addu (from the royal archives of Mari), it is stated that the queen «was stricken by sunstroke while dancing in the courtyard of the Birmi temple during the midday rest» (1988CharpinD_LafontB:26–27). The Mari archive, a key Mesopotamian source, dates to the first half of the 18th century BCE (1956Munn-RankinJM:106).

 

1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day. 2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him ; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground ; 3 And he said. My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. … 32 And he said. Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once : Peradventure there will be found there ten. And he said, I will not destroy, for the sake of the ten. 33 And the Lord went away, when he had finished speaking with Abraham ; and Abraham returned unto his place. 

 

Nosological Consistency

There is a parallel in the recording of specific cognitive distortions (auditory hallucinations or delirium) as symptoms of central nervous system damage.

 

Egypt

The «Edwin Smith Papyrus» (1650–1550 BCE), specifically in Cases № 7 and 8, describes cerebral dysfunction resulting from cranial trauma (1930BreastedJH:175,201; sae.saw-leipzig.de). Notably, in Case № 8 of the «Edwin Smith Papyrus», mention is made of a patient into whom something demonic has penetrated from the outside; modern translators interpret this as a clinical description of the consequences of a stroke (2014MeltzerES_SanchezGM:92; sae.saw-leipzig.de).

See note!

 

2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood near him ; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent, and bowed himself to the ground; … 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

 

Numeric Sacralization Parallel

The structural parallel links the «three measures» and «three men» in Genesis with the Egyptian liturgical system of triadic deities and the division of offerings into three-part portions.

Egypt

As recorded in the «Pyramid Texts» (2350–2175 BCE), Utterance № 29 (21a) states: «O N., the eye of Horus, is pleasing to thee; it is sound for thee. The eye of Horus is sound; thou art sound. Three pellets of incense» (1952MercerSAB:47). Similarly, Utterance № 39 (31b) notes: «Three pellets of incense of the South; three pellets of incense of the North.» (1952MercerSAB:50).

Furthermore, Utterance № 205 (121c-d) declares: «For to N. indeed belong the five portions of bread, liquid, cake, in the mansion, of which three are in heaven with Rē‘, and two on earth with the Ennead.» (1952MercerSAB:86–87); while Utterance № 437 (794a) adds: «The three beginnings (of the divisions of the year) will be celebrated for thee;» (1952MercerSAB:234); and Utterance № 543 (1337d) concludes: «Osiris N., he who killed thee is brought to thee, cut (him) in three.» (1952MercerSAB:347).

In the Pyramid of Pepi I (6th Dynasty, ca. 2289–2255 BCE), Recitation № 371 reads: «Meryre is a bullherd to whom belongs four meals and seven meals, for [four] are for the sky and three are for the earth, for three are for [the earth] and four are for the sky.» (2007AllenJP:142); meanwhile, Recitation № 490 states: «Osiris Pepi, I have gotten for you the one who killed you, cut up in three pieces.» (2007AllenJP:172).

According to the «Coffin Texts» (2134–2040 BCE), Spell № 173 mentions: «Because seven portions are in this land, there come to me four portions above with Re and three portions below with Geb.» (1973FaulknerRO:148). In Spell № 181, it is said: «These things have been made for me as gifts in On which have been given to me, for I am the Bull with curly hair, having five portions in the House of Horus and two portions in the House of Seth; three portions are in the sky and three portions are on earth.» (1973FaulknerRO:152); and Spell № 215 clarifies: «Great One, owner of nine portions at the head of the Great Ennead, three portions are in Djedu, three in On, and three in the Mansion of the Ibis in the Field of Rushes.» (1973FaulknerRO:171). In Memphis, the triad of gods Ptah, Sekhmet, and Nefertem was prominent, while in Thebes, the key triad consisted of Amun, Khonsu, and Mut (1983ЛипинскаяЯ_МарцинякМ:30,42).

 

3 And he said. My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. … 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart, after that ye may pass on ; since ye have once passed by your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast spoken.

 

Diplomatic Identity

The established structural similarity of rhetorical formulas «your servant» confirms the use in the Book of Genesis of an authentic protocol of interstate and social correspondence from the Middle Bronze Age.

Mesopotamia

The standard opening of vassal correspondence from the Mari archives contains the formula «your servant». For instance, a letter from Kibri-Dagan to his lord Zimri-Lim (ARM 26/1 210) states: «Say to my Lord: Thus (spoke) Kibri-Dagan, your servant.» (1988CharpinD:439–440). Likewise, a letter from Askudum and Rishiya to their lord Zimri-Lim (ARM 26/1 11) reports: «Say to our Lord: Thus speak Askudum and Rishiya, your servants.» (1988CharpinD:107–109). Similarly, a letter from Shibtu to her lord Zimri-Lim (ARM 26/1 214) records: «Say to my Lord: Thus speaks Shibtu, your servant: In the temple of Annunitum in the city of Ahatum, the servant of Dagan-Malik prophesied and said the following…» (1988CharpinD:442–443). The Mari archive, a key Mesopotamian source, dates to the first half of the 18th century BCE (1956Munn-RankinJM:106).

 

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart, after that ye may pass on ; since ye have once passed by your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast spoken.

 

Psychological Parallel

A direct parallel between the «heart» and the inner «self», endowing this organ with the functions of rational thinking, moral judgment, and the source of the individual's volitional decisions.

 

Egypt

The heart as an organ of thought, will, and ethical choice is repeatedly mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts. In the Pyramid of Pepi II (6th Dynasty, ca. 2246–2152 BCE), Recitation № 404, it is stated: «You shall take (them) for him to every place in which his heart might wish to be.» (2007AllenJP:274). Recitation № 319 of the same pyramid states: «His son shall provide this Pepi Neferkare with life; he shall make it happy for his heart, he shall make it pleasant for his heart; he shall establish for him the Nile Valley, he shall establish for him the Delta;» (2007AllenJP:265). The Pyramid of Unis (5th Dynasty, ca. 2353–2323 BCE), Recitation № 180, describes the king as: «Unis is the sky’s bull, with terrorizing in his heart, who lives on the evolution of every god, who eats their bowels when they have come from the Isle of flame with their belly filled with magic.» (2007AllenJP:51).

The «Pyramid Texts» (2350–2175 BCE), in Utterance № 650 (1836a-b), state: «He equips N. with life; he makes his heart rejoice; he makes his heart sweet.» (1952MercerSAB:450). In the «Coffin Texts» (2134–2040 BCE), Spell № 64 reads: «…see, I bring it to you that your heart may be made glad by means of it; I bring to you the Eye of Horus, that your heart may be made glad by means of it.» (1973FaulknerRO:60). Spell № 148 adds: «The lightning flash strikes, the gods are afraid, Isis wakes pregnant with the seed of her brother Osiris. She is uplifted, (even she) the widow, and her heart is glad with the seed of her brother Osiris. She says: 'O you gods, I am Isis, the sister of Osiris, who wept for the father of the gods, (even) Osiris who judged the slaughterings of the Two Lands.» (1973FaulknerRO:125).

Similar sentiments appear in didactic works, such as the «Instruction Addressed to Kagemni» (6th Dynasty): «When you drink with a drunkard, Take when his heart is content. Don't fall upon meat by the side of a glutton, Take when he gives you, don't refuse it, Then it will soothe.» (2006LichtheimM:1.60). The «Instruction of Ptahhotep» (6th Dynasty) contains several such references: «He whose heart obeys his belly Puts contempt of himself in place of love, His heart is bald, his body unanointed; The great-hearted is god-given, He who obeys his belly belongs to the enemy.» (2006LichtheimM:1.67); «A man in distress wants to pour out his heart More than that his case be won» (2006LichtheimM:1.68); «Dispute with him after a time, Test his heart in conversation; If what he has seen escapes him, If he does a thing that annoys you, Be yet friendly with him, don't attack;» (2006LichtheimM:1.72).

In the «Complaints of Khakheperre-sonb» (Middle Kingdom), the narrator says: «He said to his heart: Come, my heart, I speak to you, Answer me my sayings!» (2006LichtheimM:1.147–148). The «Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor» (Middle Kingdom) notes: «Each of them-his heart was stouter, his arm stronger than his mate's.» (2006LichtheimM:1.213). The «Story of Sinuhe» (Middle Kingdom), states: «Then his heart was happy beyond everything, and they sat down to a day of feasting.» (2006LichtheimM:1.221). Furthermore, the «Stela of Sehetep-ib-re» (12th Dynasty), written for an official who served successively under Sesostris III and Amenemhet III, commands: «Cleave to His Majesty in your hearts! He is Sia in the hearts, His eyes seek out everybody.» (2006LichtheimM:1.128). The «Satire of the Trades» (Middle Kingdom) advises: «I have seen many beatings - Set your heart on books!» (2006LichtheimM:1.185). Finally, the «Song from the Tomb of King Intet» (Middle Kingdom) exhorts: «To tell of their needs, To calm our hearts, Until we go where they have gone! Hence rejoice in your heart! Forgetfulness profits you, Follow your heart as long as you live!» (2006LichtheimM:1.196).

 

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart, after that ye may pass on ; since ye have once passed by your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast spoken. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man, and he hastened to dress it. 8 And he took cream and milk, and the calf which lie had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

 

Commemorative Banquet Parallel

Both texts demonstrate a structural parallel where a formal feast is organized as a ritual response to a divine or creative event, establishing a direct link between hospitable service and the presence of the supernatural.

 

Mesopotamia


In the Sumerian poem «Myth of Enki and Ninmah», we read: «It tells of a feast arranged by Enki for the gods, no doubt to commemorate man's creation.» (1981KramerS:107). The tablet with the myth of Enki and Ninmah is dated to the Old Babylonian period (1969BenitoCA:1).

 

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

 

The Borrowing of the Word «Measure» («Seah»)

 

The Akkadian term šē'u denotes barley, grain, or a measure of grain (1992RothMT:345).

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year ; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it at the door of the tent, which was behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old ? 13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, since I am old ? 14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord ? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, at this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.

 

Miraculous Conception Parallel

Both narratives establish a thematic parallel by focusing on the overcoming of biological impossibility — whether through post-menopausal age or death — to fulfill a divine lineage through a predestined son.

 

Egypt

During their earthly life, Osiris and Isis had no children, and the legend provides no explanation for this fact. In this regard, mythological commentators note: «Isis grieved deeply because she failed to bear a son during Osiris's lifetime. However, possessing the secrets of magic and sorcery, she was able to conceive a child even from her husband's mummy»(2004РакИВ:101).

 

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old? …  15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not ; for she was afraid ; but he said. Nay ; indeed thou didst laugh.

 

Skeptical Laughter Parallel

Both texts display a psychological parallel where a protagonist responds with laughter to an improbable or «foolish» prophecy, highlighting the tension between human disbelief and the reality of a supernatural encounter.

 

Egypt

In the «Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor» (Middle Kingdom), we read: «Then he laughed at me for the things I had said, which seemed foolish to him.» (2006LichtheimM:1.214).

 

20 And the Lord said. Because the cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous : 21 I will go down now, and see, if they have done according to the cry against them, which is come unto me, destruction (shall come upon them) ; and if not, I will know it.

 

Inspection Jurisdiction

Identity of the protocol description: receiving a signal regarding a violation of the world order and the transition of the supreme authority to active punitive actions.

Egypt

According to the «Legend of Horus of Behdet, the Winged Sun» (1st century BCE), a rebellion once broke out in Egypt, «instigated by the fiends of darkness, who were dissatisfied with the rule of Ra. … The Sun God commanded Horus to immediately engage in battle with the conspirators» (2004РакИВ:48).


  


[iii] Notes to Chapter 18

Three Men as a Triplopia Effect

A case of a patient with classic heatstroke is described, exhibiting reversible downbeat nystagmus as part of a cerebellar syndrome. Downbeat nystagmus is a central type of nystagmus defined as a primary position nystagmus with a rapid downward phase and slow upward drifts. The nystagmus is maximal during downward gaze, but its intensity can also be accentuated with the eyes in the lateral oblique downward position (2005DeleuD_ZalabanyHA).

According to J.R. Keane (2006), triplopia was observed in 85% of patients presenting with eye movement disorders. Seeing triple is a rare complaint, so anatomically unlikely that it is often considered a diagnostic symptom of hysteria. Eleven of 13 patients had ocular motor findings, including third nerve palsy in 5 patients, internuclear ophthalmoplegia in 4, and sixth nerve palsy in 2. Causes included brainstem infarction in 4 patients; ischemic mononeuropathy, trauma, surgery, and hysteria in 2 patients each; and tumor in 1 patient. Most patients with triplopia in the present study had eye movement abnormalities (11/13 [85%]). Notably, eight (62%) of the 13 patients appeared to be offering triplopia as a novel interpretation of oscillopsia or binocular diplopia, whereas the remaining 5 patients (38%) exhibited monocular diplopia or triplopia, with or without ocular motor abnormalities, as a functional complaint. The difference between the 2 groups may merely reflect an increasing degree of suggestibility (2006KeaneJR).


(The conclusion compiled by the AI agent, with our minor changes)

Preliminary Conclusion to the Analysis of Genesis Chapter 18

The interdisciplinary analysis of Genesis 18 reveals a high-density network of synchronic parallels between the biblical text and the cultural-medical landscape of the Middle Bronze Age (1800–1550 BCE). 

1. Geographic and Toponymic Verification

The narrative’s setting in Hebron (Grove of Mamre) aligns with the archaeological data indicating that Hebron flourished in the 17th–16th centuries BCE. This topographical parallel confirms the factual geographical coexistence of the mentioned locality with the era of the Edwin Smith Papyrus (1650–1550 BCE), providing a specific historical window for the narrative’s origins before the city's Late Bronze Age decline. 

2. Clinical-Physiological Foundation (Nosological Consistency)

There is a profound clinical-literary parallel between Abraham’s experience in the «heat of the day» and the pathophysiology of heatstroke.

Triplopia and Nystagmus: The sudden perception of «three men» correlates with the triplopia observed in 85% of patients with ocular motor disorders and vertical nystagmus associated with cerebellar syndromes.

Cerebral Dysfunction: The psychopathological symptomatology (altered states of consciousness/delirium) described in the Edwin Smith Papyrus (Cases № 7, 8) and the Epic of Gilgamesh (Old Babylonian period) provides a historical precedent for recording cognitive distortions and "demonic" (external) penetrations as symptoms of central nervous system damage. 

3. Numeric Sacralization and Ritual Structure

The numeric sacralization parallel links the «three measures of meal» and «three men» in Genesis to the Egyptian liturgical system.

Sacred Portions: The Pyramid Texts (2350–2175 BCE) and Coffin Texts (2134–2040 BCE) consistently emphasize the division of offerings into three portions for the divine realm (Re/Heaven).

Commemorative Banquet: The hospitality of Abraham constitutes a structural parallel to the Myth of Enki and Ninmah (Old Babylonian period), where a formal feast is a ritual response to a divine event, establishing the «feast» as a protocol for supernatural interaction. 

4. Thematic and Jurisdictional Parallels

Inspection Jurisdiction: The transition from receiving a signal of disorder to active punitive investigation in Sodom mirrors the protocol of the Winged Sun (Horus of Behdet), where the supreme authority initiates battle against conspirators.

Miraculous Continuity: The promise of a son to the aged Sarah and her «skeptical laughter» find direct thematic parallels in the Isis-Osiris myth (miraculous conception from a husband's mummy) and the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor (laughter at «foolish» or improbable news). 

Summary

The analysis demonstrates that Genesis 18 is not merely a theological narrative but a complex cultural-clinical synthesis deeply rooted in the Middle Bronze Age (approx. 1800–1550 BCE). The convergence of toponymic verification (Hebron’s floruit), medical nosology (triplopia/heatstroke symptoms documented in Egyptian papyri), and sacral linguistics (Egyptian triadic portions) suggests that the text preserves an authentic record of an event interpreted through the specific scientific and religious lens of the Second Intermediate Period. This multi-layered correspondence provides a robust evidentiary basis for dating the core elements of the narrative to the mid-2nd millennium BCE, highlighting a sophisticated integration of clinical observation and Ancient Near Eastern jurisdictional protocols.

Chronic LCF pathology refers to a gradually progressing process that has started and persisted for a long time. The term subacute phase in LCF pathology is used when the process progresses and resolves within three weeks to four months. Permanent LCF pathology implies continuous periodic impact leading to pathological changes. An example of permanent pathology is walking with altered physical properties of the densely formed connective tissue comprising the LCF stroma. Old LCF pathology denotes a pathological change that...

[In Russian]  Chapter 5.  ADAM AND EVE The Book of Genesis narrates the story of a tribe founded by Adam and Eve, described as the "mother of all living."
