You all know about the Tiffany problem, of course--when a writer uses something historically accurate which the reader/listener rejects because it sounds too modern?
Having the same problem with an Edomite name (those guys from the Bible): "Qos-anal."
(Qos being the Edomite god).

We're not kink shaming, except we are kink shaming people who enjoy the Edomite kings list
Plagiarized from what, the forerunner faiths to Judaism? Don't be silly. Are humans plagiarized from earlier hominids?
I will freely admit that much of the Torah is non-factual and allegorical, but "fiction" implies an intent to entertain that I do not think is accurate.

Yes, but they were in Edomite, so no one understood them.

Van der Toorn argues that the Gibeonites were an Edomite clan, which would be consistent with the apparent origin of YHVH. Note that Saul's bodyguard (maybe? at least a fixer), Diego, is an Edomite. Not sure what this implies about the Amalekite war

I likd the idea of Israelite religion being a messy convergence of various Canaanite (and possibly Edomite) traditions, absorbing and reinterpreting over a millennium through constant conversation with empire and surrounding tribes

fun fact about Qaws/Qos: he was, according to archaeology, the most important god of the Edomite pantheon.
But unlike Malkom or Kemosh he is never mentioned directly in the Bible.
BUT he is alluded two three times. Twice in a theophoric name (Ezra 2:53, Nehemiah 7:55) and once in… a weirder way.

#New on #OCIANA: Is this the oldest #Arabic inscription yet discovered? The famous #Bāyir inscription is now online. An ancient Arab calls upon the Canaanite gods: Malkom, Kemosh, and Qaws to protect the wells of Bāyir (ancient: ʾabāʾir).

Anti-Edomite racism in the Herodian era is so sad to me because it was targeted against a people that to be frank did everything it could to prove that they were good Jews now. I mean they literally sided with the Zealots in the war of 68-73

OK, I’m going to bed so I don’t know if I’m going to get any more likes tonight but just in case I get one more, here’s 88: you should keep yom tov sheni in Eilat. It’s diaspora. No I don’t care if it’s politically Israel, to coopt the term it’s spiritually non-Zionist. Eilat is Edomite territory

The label "Antisemitismus" was coined by a racist specifically to make Judenhass (Jew-hate) sound ✨academic✨
Saying "X are Semites too" just further entrenches bunk race science.

Interesting bit of etymology: "Caesar" as a personal name derives from the Roman title, which word the Romans borrowed (and heavily modified) from the Russian "tsar," which of course is shortened from the name of this Edomite, which they chose because they thought Jews were afraid of him

A little bit of context for those not already familiar w/ him. The Latin-into-Hebrew author known as Doeg the Edomite was active at the very end of the 12th century. He rendered a significant portion of the Cassinese & Salernitan medical corpora into Hebrew--single-handedly, apparently. #MedievalSky

Cor, LOOK at this. Doeg the Edomite, chief herdsman to Saul, King of Israel, kills the priests of Nob (Psalm 51). God sends three angels to destroy Doeg. They made him forget his learning, burned his soul, & scattered the ashes. He died a leper. f76r of the Macclesfield Psalter. #MedievalSky
