I love when you post things that refute your earlier claims...

... There is no evidence that the Hebrews were a distinct culture and society prior to ~600 BCE...

NOW this thread gets interesting.

This discovery and information does not conclude that the Hebrew's were a distinct culture at any point in time. In fact, my previous description describes the Hebrew culture and language beginning to become distinct ~800 - 600 BCE. Prior to this time period the Hebrews lacked a distinctive language and by the evidence were a pastorial Canaanite tribes or tribe in the Hills of Judea.

Yeah... so indistinct that they had their own king...

Individual tribes wihin the region of course had heir own rulers, but a king? the evidence is all in on this claim. They did not even have a distinctive language before this time.

From your OP:

King Hezekiah deliberately defiled the eighth century B.C. shrine at the door to the ancient city of Lachish, as part of a campaign to centralize Jewish ritual in Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority said.

So they had no distinctive culture, yet they had an organized religion and a king. um, yeah. pull the other one.

and you realize "Judea" was one of the tribes of Israel, right? Meaning if they had tribes and lands for those tribes, and a religion and a king, then they had a distinct language and they had a society and culture.

First, read again, the Hills of Judea refers to a geographic region, and not a tribe. Reading comprehension a problem here?

You realize my references in the past to the Hebrew tribes not have a distinctive culture and language was prior to the period ~900 - 600 BCE. In this period the Hebrews did develop a distinctive language culture, and rulers called kings.

That is a lie Frank. Your claim was that they didn't have a distinct culture until ~600BC
