A SCIENTIFIC REACTION (Biblical - Archeological - Literal - Historical 15 )

   The "Archeology" proved the events of the "TORAH" ,. but it could not give the faith, in the inspiration process, for the unfaithful persons, who assured that these events might be real , and the historical author might be the prophet himself , but it was not, in fact { according to their point of view},a prophetic process ,he has just a writer to a historical book, or perhaps a book of literature ,                                                                                 The  Archeological discoveries, helped us by giving evidences, to face the old group of people, who criticize the contents ,and produced some false mental evidence ,which have built on some uncompleted historical knowledge.                    The Critics of the first nineteenth centuries AD ,fell under this group.                                                   But from the beginning of the second half, of the twentieth century,a group of  Critics who could not deny the historical trusted facts, in concern of the "TORAH", but they have stolen its spiritual effects .                                                                                                                                  Also,some of them, tried to allow with some covered wickedness, that they had some observations, on some of the historical facts ."The School of  Leipzig" fell under this later category,                                                                         "The School of Leipzig"  were establishing by ,"The Late Albrecht Alt",but the most popular person,who possesed some attractiveness, was "M.Noth" ,who wrote his book ,"Oberlieferungeschichte des Pentateuch" ,1948 .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   We will begin by denoting some positives opinion, of his views like :-                                                                                                                                            His idea in concern of the "Deotronomy"that , this book was the base of the books of "Joshua","Judges", "Samuel I,II " and "The Kings I,II"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He was brilliant ,when he have discussed the theories of the origins,and the documents .                                                                                                        He was the first writer, who suggested that the story of the exodus ,as it was , the center of the theological thinking, in all of the old testament  .                                                                                                                                                                                                 He was the best Critic ,who dealt with the history of Israelite nation ,but he forgot some of the historical facts.  Also his positive historical discussion, to the opinions of "Eeinrich Euald", who was in 1875,which reflected our positive idea about his historical attitude.                                                                                                                                                                                  "Euald" said that the number of twelve, was not a real number for the Israelite tribes, it was just an allegorical number,but "Noth" defending by saying that, the sacred covenant was at its very beginnings ,a common covenant for the twelfths tribes ,after a peaceful religious living , as the stage which happened in the Greek nation's history,That covenant began at the time of the Judges ,according to the written covenant ,of the previous books, specially , the "Deotronomy"..The covenant ensured, the importance of the centric place for worshiping together, according to what have recorded in the "TORAH" . We have, in fact, some observations, about the comparing between the Greek and the Italian unity, and what have real occur to the Israelite nation . His comparison were more real, if he have used it ,to compare between them and the Palestinian unity . But in the case of the Israelite nation ,they were in their original state one nation, related to one grandfather . generally, it was positive to reveal the existence of the twelve tribes ,during the sacred covenant . Also he had a strange opinion, about some kind of the covenants, during the days of "Joshua", he called it the"Amphictigony" ,which "Joshua"made it, to the Israelite, because the Bible taught us ,that the covenant during the days of "Joshua",were the same covenant of "Moses". This "Amphictigony" were to unite the tribes together, to be a united nation, in their political and religious affairs,under the authorities of the Judges, but it was some problems, faced us to agree "Noth"'s opinion, because we have observed, their desire to be under the rule of a king .                                                                                                                                                                                  and follow later  .                                                                             Rev.
