Note 1002 — Chapter XXXVIII · ROD NOT EMPLOYED IN SPITE OF CLOSE INTERCOURSE WITH EGYPT— REASONS SUGGESTED FOR ABSENCE
Reading edition
See p. 94, Flinders Petrie, Israel and Egypt, of which in this section I frequently avail myself. Inscriptions of c. XXVIth Dynasty, or c. 600 b.c. disclose that there was an actual priesthood dedicated to the god YHW, which word is clearly spelt out.
