Nouvelles Perspectives Dans L’etude De « Yom » Dans Genese 1: La Piste Aithiopienne

Abstract

The source of the text of Genesis has been a core of the contemporary theology studies. One of the most important of these studies is the James E. Atwell’s (2000). He argues that Genesis 1 is directly inspired by Egyptian mythology. But, considering his arguments, the study of the typology of “Yom” shows a new paradigm that we can conclude the existence of a new source. This study gives proves that if Egypt constitutes an important step, the sources are far and deepest.
