Deuteronomy and the Book of JoshuaPaperback, 9 June 2020

Deuteronomy is very similar to the laws of Assyria, the state that emerged in the northern Dvurechye, in the 14-9 centuries BC Assyria has repeatedly subordinated the entire northern Mesopotamia and adjacent areas. The period of Assyria's highest development was the 2nd half of the 8th - 1st half of the 7th centuries B.C., in 605 B.C. it was destroyed by Midia and Babylonia. Assyria had long pursued a policy of planting its colonies in the middle of an alien population, then began to pursue a policy of creating a major military power, dominating the most important routes in West Asia. The King of Assyria was not only a priest, but also a military leader, which is reminiscent of the actions of a priest, known as a biblical god lord, that is, a slave priest with hypnotic abilities and seized power over the roaming Jews, in fact he is also a chief and military leader, secretly leading through trusted persons. The Book of Joshua tells how a priest, most likely a whole group of priests, secretly guided roaming Jewish tribes to take over the "Promised Land" - the rich Canaan, where the caravan routes of the time passed, for their own enrichment.
