I just posted about that ... once again, you foolishly present something that confirms the Bible account despite your contrary intention. Here's the key part: There was a community of Jewish mercenaries settled there, to support first the Egyptians, then the Persians. It was established during the reign of King Manassas of Judah: He re-instituted pagan worship and reversed the religious reforms made by his father Hezekiah; for which he is condemned by several religious texts. ...... The biblical account of Manasseh is found in II Kings 21:1-18 and II Chronicles 32:33-33:20. He is also mentioned in Jeremiah 15:4. .... Wikipedia So this community's existence and their worshiping pagan gods in addition to Yahweh confirms information in the Bible. Thanks. Aren't you glad to know that? .... Manasseh reversed some of the religious reforms of his father Hezekiah, possibly for the economic reasons described above, restoring polytheistic worship in the Temple. He also built altars to pagan gods. His reign may be described as reactionary in relation to his father's; and Kings suggests that he may have executed supporters of his father's reforms. ..... Such a reaction involved the persecution of those who had bitterly condemned the popular syncretism. The prophets were put to the sword (Jer. ii. 30). "Innocent blood" reddened the streets of Jerusalem (II Kings xxiv. 4). For many decades those who sympathized with prophetic ideas were in constant peril. .... those Jews were worshipping female deities due to that multicultural tolerant, peaceful melieu there in Egypt. And that confirms what the Bible said. Good job.
