16 He turned to her and said, «I will come in to you.» For he did not know that this was his daughter-in-law. She said: what will you give me if you come in to me? (Prostitution, one of the oldest professions).

17 He said: I’ll send you a kid from the herd. She said: Will you give me a deposit while you send it? (A pledge is also needed, otherwise it will deceive).

18 He said, «What pledge shall I give you?» She said, «Your seal, and your sash, and your cane, which is in your hand.» And he gave it to her and went in to her; and she conceived by him. (Pregnancy also appeared).

19 And she arose, and went, and took off her veil, and put on the garment of her widowhood. (The widow again).

13 But when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands and ran out (to contradict a woman like that!).

14 She called her household and said to them, «Look, he has brought a Jew to us to scold us. He came to me to lie down with me, but I screamed in a loud voice, (A woman is preparing a trick).

15 And when he heard that I raised a cry and cried out, he left his clothes with me, and ran, and ran out. (Insinuations).

16 And she kept his clothes with her until his master came to her house. (The woman is preparing a trick).

17 And she told him the same words, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came to me to abuse me. (Insinuations).

18 But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his clothes with me and ran out. (Insinuations).

19 When his master heard the words of his wife, which she said to him, saying: your servant did this to me, then he was inflamed with anger; (The insinuation ended with the victory of the deceiver).

20 Then his master took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king’s prisoners were imprisoned. And he was there in prison. (Joseph is in prison).

Chapter 41:14 And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they hurriedly brought him out of prison. He cut his hair and changed his clothes and came to Pharaoh. (Joseph was summoned to Pharaoh). 42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand; he clothed him in fine linen, and put a golden chain around his neck.; (Joseph is the most important official of the state, visson is an expensive fabric).

Chapter 50:10 And they came to Goren-haathad by the Jordan, and there they wept with a great and very strong weeping; and [Joseph] wept for his father seven days. (In ancient times, it was necessary to show grief for the deceased. Mourning – according to the rule of talion, grief, mourning clothes, veil, female crying (mourners) – all these are ways to cause pity for the mourner, ways to cause sadness, grief, remorse. A person in grief beats his chest, tears his hair, refuses to eat, thereby trying to punish himself and avoid the upcoming eternal punishment or weaken the punishment he is waiting for for the death of a loved one).

Animal skins – initial clothing

The skins of various animals were the first forms of clothing of ancient man. The skins of various animals were cut up and served as a blanket for a person.

For example, bulls are very often found in legends and beliefs of different peoples. The «Word about Igor’s regiment» mentions «Busovo time», Bus in ancient Greek, bos in Latin – «bull, cow», aka Booz, Boos, God – king and commander of the tribal associations of Slavs (Ants), executed by the Goths in the IV century along with 70 other leaders of related tribes. In ancient Western Semitic languages, «aleph» meant «bull», and «bet» – «house» (in Hebrew, «aleph» and «bet», respectively), hence the name of the first Greek letters «alpha» and «beta» (in the Byzantine pronunciation «vita»), the Russian word «alphabet».

In ancient Egypt, there was, along with other animals, the cult of the bull, it was one of the most magnificent and solemn cults that an animal has ever been honored with, the Memphis bull Apis was considered a «servant of the god Ptah» and a symbol of fertility; he lived in a sacred stable right in the main temple, where he was cared for by special priests. After the death of the bull, it was embalmed and buried in compliance with a complex solemn ceremony and with a huge gathering of people. The priests then went to look for his receiver, and here they looked for some birthmarks – «divine» signs, only a black bull was recognized as a «newborn Apis», who had a white spot in the shape of a triangle on his forehead, a scarab—shaped growth under his tongue, a spot resembling an eagle on his spine, a two—color on his tail wool, etc.; these «divine» signs were allegedly about 30. When such a bull was finally found, which was undoubtedly not an easy task, he was solemnly escorted to a cleaned sacred stable, where he lived with a harem of specially selected cows until his death, the last bull lived to the moment when Egypt became a Christian country. The cult of the «golden calf» was borrowed by the Jews from the ancient Egyptians, who worshipped the bull Apis (hecatomb – in ancient Greece, the sacrifice of a hundred bulls to the gods).

The longest 2nd surah of the Quran is called «Cow».

The ancient Egyptian god Osiris was usually identified with the bull Apis from Memphis and with the bull Mnevis from Heliopolis. It is difficult to say whether these bulls, like red-haired oxen, were incarnations of Osiris as the spirit of bread, or whether they were originally independent deities who merged with Osiris later. These two bulls are distinguished from other sacred animals whose cult was local in nature by the fact that their cult was widespread everywhere. Whatever the original relation of Apis to Osiris, we have one fact regarding the former, which cannot be ignored in any way when discussing the custom of killing God. Although the ancient Egyptians worshipped this bull as a real god, with great solemnity and deep reverence, they did not allow Apis to live longer than the period prescribed by the ritual books. At the end of this period, the bull was drowned in a sacred spring. Apis, according to Plutarch, was allowed to live for twenty-five years. However, recent excavations of Apis graves show that this prescription was not always carried out punctually. From the inscriptions on the tombs it appears that during the reign of the twenty-second dynasty, two of the sacred bulls lived for more than twenty-six years.

The Hindus have a cult of the cow, the killing and eating of whose meat they revere for a crime as heinous as premeditated murder. Nevertheless, the brahmins transfer the sins of the people to one or more cows, which are then taken to the place indicated by the brahmin. Sacrificing a bull, the ancient Egyptians called on his head all the troubles that could fall on themselves and on their land, after which they sold the bull’s head to the Greeks or threw it into the river. The ancient Egyptians worshipped bulls in the historical era, it was their custom to kill bulls and eat their meat. A large number of facts lead us, however, to the conclusion that originally the Egyptians, along with cows, considered bulls sacred animals. They not only considered sacred and never sacrificed cows – they sacrificed only such bulls, on the body of which there were certain marks. Before sacrificing the bull, the priest carefully examined it: if the necessary markings were present, the priest branded the animal as a sign that it was suitable for sacrifice. The man who sacrificed an unbranded bull was himself to be put to death. The cult of the black bulls Apis and Mnevis (especially the first one) played an important role in Egyptian religion. The Egyptians carefully buried all bulls who died of natural causes on the outskirts of cities, after which they collected their bones from all parts of Egypt and buried them in one place. All the participants in the sacrifice of the bull at the great mysteries of Isis wept and beat their chests. So, we have the right to conclude that originally bulls, like cows, were revered by the Egyptians as sacred animals and that the slaughtered bull, on whose head all the people’s misfortunes were heaped, was once a divine redeemer.

Since the end of the XIII century BC, a new time has begun for Egypt. The Pharaohs, and above all the famous Ramses II, who ruled for 67 years, moved their residence to Lower Egypt in order to facilitate their protection from the invasions that threatened the country primarily from the Hittites, then from the «sea peoples» and the Philistines. They sought to organize the defense of Egypt not at the very remote Thebes, but at the Nile Delta, directly at the gates of Egypt. The god Amon with a ram’s head (with twisted horns) is also gradually losing its former dominant place. Ramses II creates a cemetery of sacred bulls (with horns) in Memphis. Far to the south, near the border with modern Sudan, at Abu Simbel, he builds a sanctuary deep in the rock. German author Erich Tseren in the book «Biblical Hills» writes: «There, in Susa (the capital of ancient Elam, modern southern Iran), as a result of excavations in 1901—1902, the French found… the „code of laws“ of the Babylonian king Hammurabi, written on a huge diorite stone. They also found parts of a wall bas-relief of the XII century BC, on which a bearded bull-man with a crown in the form of a horn and bull hooves is depicted next to a palm tree. It is quite obvious that the most ancient image of the bull is now becoming more and more a humanoid image of the moon god, who, in the end, preserved only as a sign of divinity the sacred horns on his forehead, the same as those of the leaders of the Semites, Indo-Europeans, Germans and other peoples.» The ancient Egyptians worshipped bulls, cats, crocodiles, sheep, etc. and considered them gods, as well as their kings.

In Hebrew mythology, cherubs are drawn as four-faced creatures (each of them has a human, bull, lion and eagle face), having four wings, under which human hands and four wheels are located. Cherubim symbolize intelligence, obedience, strength and speed. The Bible says that God sits on cherubim (1 Samuel, chapter 4, v. 4; Psalm 79, v. 2), that cherubim are the guardians of paradise (Gen., Chapter 3, v. 24) and carriers of God’s chariot through the clouds (Ezek., chapters 1 and 10). The etymology of the word «cherub» is controversial. Once this word was derived from the Aramaic root «harab» – to plow, but now it is believed that it comes from the Assyrian karibu – «blessing». «Cherub» is a singular form, in Hebrew the plural is formed by adding the suffix «im», thus the word «cherub», and this despite the fact that in the Russian translation it looks like paradise is guarded by a single being, denotes a certain number of guards.

«The Book of the Judges of Israel», scientific commentaries in parentheses. «Chapter 2. 11 Then the children of Israel began to do evil in the sight of the Lord and began to serve the Baals; (Obedience and loyalty to «their» god, this is the main thing for slaves from the point of view of the slave-owning priests. Baal, Baal, from the Phoenician «lord», «lord» – an ancient all-Semitic deity, revered in Phoenicia, Syria, Palestine. Initially, he was considered the head of the patriarchal family, the patron god of a certain territory, a city, was depicted as a man with goat horns («Azazel», more precisely «Aza-El» – from Hebrew «goat—god»). The worship of the ancient gods was preserved among the Jews even when monotheism was established among them and the church, temple organization of the cult of Yahweh was formed. According to the book of Leviticus (XVI, 5—30), God commanded Moses that on the tenth day of the seventh month the Jews celebrate the «day of purification» from all sins. Baal: A pagan deity, a symbol of human sacrifice. Some rituals included the sacrifice of children, as with other ancient peoples. The parents believed that they could earn the favor of Baal by placing their firstborn on his altar. They thought he would reward their devotion by giving them many more children. In other cases, the body of a sacrificed child was immured in the foundation or wall of a new house. By doing so, the family hoped that it would provide her with Baal’s protection and keep her out of trouble. Baals could be people, priests-lords, many of them wore horns on their heads, goat skins, hooves, mimicking totem animals – goats, rams, bull bulls).

Does Baal resemble such fabulous creatures as the devil, the devil, the devil? These were people, priests of the primitive tribal system, who wore animal skins, they became competitors of other priests, with wings on their backs.

Horned animals symbolized the sickle of the «sacred» Moon, the Moon and the Sun, as well as the sky itself, where supposedly «celestials» live, by analogy with earthly life, became sacred animals that you need to resemble, initially to get closer and catch, therefore they wore horns, hooves, tail.

Hunters, in order to catch an animal, put on its skins, made an imitation of hooves, horns, tails, masks or wings, so it was easier to catch any animal that perceived a person in the skin of this animal as its own. Hence came a variety of werewolves – people in the skin of animals, later actors (actors), priests and sorcerers who used various methods to establish their dominance over their tribesmen, including to become «human hunters», that is, to make tribesmen their slaves.

Detail of the painting of the «Blue Hall» of the Penjikent Palace, Tajikistan, depicts a fight with demons-divas, people who wear horns, goat beards and legs with hooves, two fierce demons, pulling bows, whirl into battle on a winged chariot, that is, artificial wings are attached to the chariot, 5—8 centuries.

In most mammals, rods (photoreceptor cells) predominate in the retina of the eye, so, for example, a wolf or a fox do not distinguish colors, but they see even on a moonless night. Talk about the fact that the wolf is afraid of red flags or the bull rushes to the red with special fury has no basis. Humans and monkeys (as well as birds) have a lot of cones in the retina of the eyes, so they distinguish colors, but they do not see anything on a dark night.

Archaeological research shows that the homeland of the ancient Indo—Europeans is the area of the Southern Urals – the Black Sea region, where they formed as a single language group. Indo-European languages are formed in ancient times and originate from a single Proto-Indo-European language, whose native speakers lived about 5—6 thousand years ago. On the territory of the Southern Urals, the oldest beliefs are formed, which became the basis of subsequent religions: Vedism and Mazdaism, which, in turn, developed from primitive beliefs. The ancient Indo-Europeans began the culture of metallurgy development here, this was facilitated by the presence of a huge number of swamps. The Indo-Europeans learned how to extract marsh ores and melt iron from them. «Santa Claus» can be translated from Latin as «sacred, closed place» from «sanctus» – «sacred, inviolable, indestructible», «clausum» – «closed locked place, lock, bolt». This is the legendary Vara from the Zoroastrian Avesta. In ancient times, it was also in Vars: priests with horns on their heads and wings behind their backs burned dead people – that’s the prototype of hell. Indo-Europeans carried their goods for sale on sleighs in winter and became prototypes of Santa Claus.

Mention of clothing and folk customs in the epic of peoples

The Enchanted Castle

(Persian folk tale)

Was it so or not, the Padishah (Padishah – Persian. «supreme sovereign») The country of Haveran (Haveran is a small city in the south of Iran, in the province of Fars) had three sons. The elder was called Afruz (Afruz – Persian. «victorious»), the middle one is Shahruz (Shahruz – Persian. «royal, happy, lucky»), and the younger one is Behruz (Behruz – Persian. «successful»). (The «sacred» troika). One day they sat with their entourage and talked about this and that, until they talked about amazing places on earth and cities that are worth seeing. Here all the sons of the padishah really wanted to go on a long journey together, wander around the world, see the amazing and unprecedented. That’s what they decided. They went to their father, kissed the ground in front of him and asked for permission to go to distant lands. The Padishah answered them:

– Well you planned it! After all, it is not for nothing that our wise elders said: «It is better to wander than to sit at home in vain.» To go around the whole world is very good, a person sees a lot of interesting things and remembers what will be useful to him later. Go, take a walk, see different countries, talk to wise, experienced people and learn something from everyone. As the sages say: «From each hirman (Hirman – tok, threshing floor, a platform on which grain is poured), take an ear so that your hirman is larger than any other.» But if you go and in your journey you will reach

standing on the very border of the city of Nigaristan (Nigaristan is the residence of suburban shah palaces in the vicinity of Tehran), do not enter it and turn from there as soon as possible, because this is not a good city, and anyone who comes there becomes unhappy. The worst thing is that not far from the city, on a hill, behind a stone wall, there is a palace called the «Enchanted Castle». Anyone who enters it will lose everything. Dozens of young men did not listen to the advice of the elderly and went there. They lost their lives and wealth, and so far it has never happened that someone came to the city of Nigaristan and did not go to the enchanted castle. I say it again, my sons! Be on the alert, God forbid that your foot set foot in the city of Nigaristan and you went to the enchanted castle!

The sons bowed low to him, kissed the ground in front of him and said:

– We obey! With our soul and heart we heed the order of the Padishah!

The Padishah kissed everyone and said:

– Go, be healthy, may God protect you!

The next morning, the sons got up early, mounted good horses, rode out of the gates of the city and drove along the road. But every time they remembered their father’s speeches and his strict order, they began to think: «Is the city of Nigaristan and the enchanted castle such a dangerous place? Why didn’t Father tell us to go there? How does he know everything? Have you been there yourself, heard from someone or read in books? Why didn’t he tell us more, didn’t he explain what kind of city Nigaristan is and what kind of enchanted castle it is?»

Such seductive thoughts came into their heads all the time and deprived them of peace.
