A LIGHT SHINING IN THE DARKNESS

Calculating by Conventional Biblical Chronology (basically, from the building of King Solomon's Temple), the Balal-Peor-&-Balaam incident had to happen c. 1410 BC, after the Israelites left the Sinai wilderness.  Carefully consider the passages from Numbers 22:4-5

​

"And Balak the son of Zippor (cp. w/first 2 syllables in  Zippor-ah's  name!  Thus, "Balak son of the Noble House") was king of Moab at that time. And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the river, to the land of the children of his people, to call him saying ...."

​

Though not specifically named on the map below (yet you may confirm it), Pethor (black star) is located at a close proximity to Haran (red star) & Carchemish (encircled.  The "city/fortress of Chemosh".  Remember that the Moabites worshipped Chemosh: Nu. 21:29; 1 Ki. 11:7; Jer. 48:7.  But more on that later).  This geographical vicinity, during this particular time, was part of the Mitanni empire.  It was to the northeast of Moab, while the so-call Biblical Midian was in an almost complete opposite direction.  Balak is a Mitannian.  And the Moabites are worshipping the same god as the Mitanni.  And from whence did the Mitanni import the worship of this god?  Chemosh is a variant of Chemmis, which was the Greek name for the 2nd nome of Lower Egypt, also called Akhbit (transliterated as Ꜣḫ-bjt or Akh-bit), referring to the 'papyrus marsh of the king of Lower Egypt'.  So who is Chemosh?  None other than Khem, or Min, of course.  Proof?  Your so-called Biblical-Archaeological Scholars say that Chemosh was associated with Ashtaroth. And Ashtaroth was considered another form of the goddess Qedesh, (also associated with the Biblical toponym Kadesh.  Num. 13:26, 14:40-50).  Observe figure 2 below (and do not fail to note how closely the goddess resembles Hathor).  Now, do the math.  For as I said, "I will offer you the water, but you must pour your own cup.".
