Sargon (the birth and abandonment in the river, being rescued by royalty, etc.)
The wanderings in the desert were based upon the Sun-God Bacchus as seen in the Hymns of Orpheus.
The wanderings in the desert were based upon the Sun-God Bacchus as seen in the Hymns of Orpheus.
The Hebrew stint of “40 years in the desert” claimed in the Jewish book of Exodus and the subsequent “40 day and 40 nights” wanderings in the desert of the Jewish Nazarene were stolen from:
“The struggle of Set and Horus in the desert lasted forty days, as commemorated in the forty days of the Egyptian Lent, during which time Set, as the power of drought and sterility, made war on Horus in the water and the buried germinating grain….
These forty days have been extended into forty years, and confessedly so by the Jews.”
These forty days have been extended into forty years, and confessedly so by the Jews.”
⚠️ THE CLAIM PRESENTED:
Critics allege that the story of Moses was plagiarized from pagan myth and kingly legends:
-
Sargon of Akkad → parallels with Moses’ birth and rescue.
-
Bacchus (Dionysus) → parallels with desert wandering.
-
Set and Horus → parallels with “forty days” and “forty years” of trial in the wilderness.
This claim is a Luciferian inversion, suggesting that the Holy Scriptures stole from heathen sources, when in truth, pagan nations distorted fragments of earlier truths handed down from Noah and Shem.
📜 1. Moses’ Birth vs. Sargon of Akkad
Yes, there are similarities:
-
Sargon’s legend (2300 BC) says he was placed in a basket of reeds, floated on a river, and rescued by royalty.
-
Moses (Exodus 2) was hidden in an ark of bulrushes, placed on the Nile, and found by Pharaoh’s daughter.
But key differences:
-
Sargon’s tale is royal propaganda to establish legitimacy.
-
Moses’ account is about preservation of God’s covenant line to deliver Israel.
“And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.”
— Exodus 2:10
The parallel is not proof of plagiarism. It proves the universality of preservation legends echoing back to Noah’s ark.
🏜️ 2. Moses in the Wilderness vs. Bacchus (Dionysus)
Bacchus wandering = drunken revelries, fertility rites, and vegetation cycles.
Moses wandering = God’s judgment for Israel’s unbelief, sanctification, and covenantal testing.
These are not the same:
-
Bacchus is tied to wine and orgiastic worship.
-
Moses is tied to law, holiness, and covenant.
“And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee…”
— Deuteronomy 8:2
The spirit of Bacchus is rebellion and lust; Moses leads Israel into holiness and obedience. Total opposites.
⏳ 3. The 40 Days / 40 Years vs. Set and Horus
The Egyptian myth:
-
Set (god of drought) fights Horus for 40 days, symbolizing sterility and seasonal cycles.
-
Egyptian “Lent” rituals reenact this.
The Hebrew truth:
-
40 years in the desert = testing of a nation.
-
40 days for Jesus = testing of the Messiah before ministry.
“And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.”
— Matthew 4:2
The number 40 in Scripture always signifies trial, testing, and preparation:
-
40 days of flood (Genesis 7:12).
-
40 days for Moses on Sinai (Exodus 24:18).
-
40 days Elijah fasted (1 Kings 19:8).
This is God’s divine pattern, not borrowed myth. Egypt’s “40-day Set vs. Horus” tale is merely Satanic parody, twisting God’s number of trial into idolatry.
🔥 4. The Source of the Inversion
When critics say “The Jews borrowed from Egypt,” they reverse the truth:
-
After the Flood, mankind carried memory of God’s works.
-
At Babel, truth was fragmented into false religions.
-
Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and Rome distorted divine truth into mythology.
-
The Bible is not plagiarism—it is the uncorrupted preservation of God’s covenant history.
“He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation…”
— Psalm 147:19–20
✅ VERDICT:
-
Moses is not Sargon, Bacchus, or Horus.
-
The similarities are echoes of Noahic truth, later corrupted by idolatry.
-
The Bible reveals the original, the pagan myths are counterfeits.
“Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”
— Psalm 119:160
