Comparison: The Babylonian Myth Of The Bible

In Egypt, the sexual perversion between humans and animals came to pass; deliberately, the idolatry of sexual intercourse with women and he-goats, and male worshippers with she-goats, transpired within temples and in public. Manifestly, numerous scholars believe that from such perversions as exemplified, the idea of semi-divine beings, half man and half animal originated. Directly, Egypt prided itself on frequent half-human and half-animal creatures; however, unlike the majority of Egyptian deities and gods that stayed in their nation, signs of the continuation of goatmen creatures soon evolved into other lands. Specifically, the territory known as the “land of Canaan” existed as a vast wilderness where Semitic tribes lived, (roughly

Appropriately, the people observed Babylonian laws, read Babylonian books, and practiced Babylonian beliefs. Inevitably, among these concerns developed the religion of Babylon, and the theological dogma which accompanied it. In essence, Abraham of the Bible originally came from a Babylonian city where his initial religious beliefs developed in an atmosphere of Babylonian thought that existed deeply-rooted in goat worship.

Principally, this area of Canaan encompassed where the spirit of Azazel excels in duplicating his bodily form; becoming the creator and ruler of a wicked race of goatmen creatures called the “Seirim.” Their presence became well-established before the arrival of the Israelites.

“And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto (goat) devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations” (Lev

In other words, this occurred as a strong warning not to continue the practiced of goat worship that existed in Egypt, and not to indulge in this same behavior in the wilderness due to having the accessibility of Seirim goatman creatures. Besides the Bible, other historical texts profess the appearance of numerous goatmen “devils;” which scores of times roamed the desert and wasteland, searching for any victims and/or the primitive Semitic tribes, (a description of the Semitic people appears in the next chapter). Moreover, the ancient Near East represented a world dominated by the Semitic people; who became known to have offered sacrifices and indulged in sexual fornication with these beings. Conspicuously, historians such as Baudissin, Wellhausen, and Robertson Smith also write of the correlation between goats and demons within Semitic
