In the Amarna letters of c. 1400 B.C. the name is applied to the Phoenician coast. According to Judges 1:9-10, Canaanites lived throughout the land. In Genesis 12:6; 24:3, 37; Joshua 3:10 the Canaanites included the whole pre-Hebrew Israelite population, even east of the Jordan. The language of Canaan (Isa. 19:18) refers to the group of West Semitic languages to which Hebrew, Phoenicians, and Moabite were dialects. The Canaanites were of Semitic stock and were part of a large migration of Semites (Phoenicians, Amorites, Canaanites) from NE Arabia in the third millennium B.C.


Phoenicia
Although the people of the region called themselves bani kan'an "Children of Canaan,"[citation needed] the name Phoenicia became common because of the Greeks who called the people phoiniki

Early on the Canaanites acquired fame as traders across a wide area beyond the Near East. There are occasional instances in the Hebrew Bible where "Canaanite" is used as a synonym for "merchant" — presumably indicating the aspect of Canaanite culture that the authors found most familiar. The term was derived from the place name, because so many merchants described themselves as Canaanites.

One of Canaan's most famous exports was a much sought-after purple dye, derived from two species of Murex sea snails found along the east Mediterranean coast and worn proudly by figures from ancient kings to modern popes. Between ca. 1200–1100 BC, most of southern Canaan was settled, and according to the Bible conquered, by the Israelites, while the northern areas were taken over by Arameans. The remaining area still under clear Canaanite control, is referred to by its Greek name, "Phoenicia" (meaning "purple", in reference to the land's famous dye).

Genesis 10:15 "And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,"

Sidon [(Final Nun Daleth Yod Tzaddi - Tau Aleph) Tz(ee)Dh(oh)N, Heb. Tsiydown, tsee-done’, or Tsiydon, from Heb. tsuwd, tsood, in the sense of catching fish, fishery, Tsidon, Sidon, Zidon. Sidonians, Heb. Tsiydoniy, tsee-do-nee’, a Tsidonian or inhabitant of Tsidon. Sidon (Heb. tsidhon, Gr. Sidon) the oldest Phoenician city, called Canaan’s "firstborn," was located on the Mediterranean seacoast, twenty-two miles north of Tyre, and between Berytus (Beirut). The Phoenicians were called Sidonians from the eleventh to the eighth century B.C. Its early importance is attested by Homer (eighth century B.C.), who often mentions Sidon, but never Tyre. Later it was eclipsed by Tyre, but the Phoenicians were still called Sidonians (I Kings 5:6; 16:31). Sidon had a bad name in Scripture as a hot bed of Phoenician idolatry (Isa. 23; Ezek. 28) and of Gentile materialism (Matt. 11:21-22)

The name Phoenician, through Latin punicus, comes from Greek phoînix, often suggested as "Tyrian purple, crimson; murex" (from phoinos "blood red"[4]). Professor Michael Astour argues that phoînix is in fact not Greek and not from phoinos, but that it is a West Semitic loanword sourced probably "among the very people who were famous as crimson and purple dyers and whom the Greeks called "Phoinikes".

Punic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Punics, (from Latin pūnicus meaning Phoenician) were a group of Western Semitic speaking peoples originating from Carthage in North Africa who traced their origins to a group of Phoenician and Cypriot settlers
814 BC to 146 BC

64 BC: Phoenicia becomes part of the Roman province of Syria, and the name Phoenicia is no longer used ,Still, the cities Aradus, Sidon and Tyre retain self-government.

The Phoenicians, a mixture of native coastal Syrians and Canaanites of biblical fame, were great contributors to the advancement of human civilization. The Phoenicians were not only the greatest seafaring race of the ancient world, significantly advancing the art of shipbuilding, but improved and developed iron working throughout the east. They also introduced Syria's greatest legacy to human civilization, the 30 letter Semitic alphabet, which formed the basis for the Greek alphabet, and therefore the languages of the western world.

The Punics based their religion from their Phoenician forefathers, who worshiped Baal Hammon and Melqart, but merged Phoenician ideas with African deities and some Greek and Egyptian, such as Apollo, Tanit, and Dionysis, with Baal Hammon being clearly the most important Punic deity.

Baal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Baal Hammon)
Ba'al (pronounced: [baʕal]; Arabic,بعل; Hebrew: בעל) (ordinarily spelled Baal in English) is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "lord" that is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant, cognate to Assyrian Bēlu. A Baalist means a worshipper of Baal.

The Canaanites
http://www.bible-history.com/resource/ff_baal.htm
The land of Canaan was devoted to the worship of Baal. The Semitic word Baal means "lord" or "master" and the Canaanites believed that Baal was in absolute control over nature and over people. They believed that the only god who was superior to Baal was his father El, but Baal was the principal deity of the land. It was he who was in charge of the rain and the weather, and man's survival was dependent upon Baal's provision.

Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words:
The word ba'al may denote any deity other than the Father of Ysryl. Baal was a common name given to the god of fertility in Canaan. The Old Testament records that Baal was "the god" of the Canaanites. The Hebrew Israelites worshiped Baal during the time of the judges.

Baal [EBD]
http://net.bible.org/dictionary.php?dict=dictionaries&word=Baal
lord. (1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Judg. 2:11; 10:10; 1 Kings 18:18; Jer. 2:23; Hos. 2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer. 19:5). It was known to the Israelites as Baal-peor (Num. 25:3; Deut. 4:3), was worshipped till the time of Samuel (1 Sam 7:4), and was afterwards the religion of the ten tribes in the time of Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-33; 18:19, 22). It prevailed also for a time in the kingdom of Judah (2 Kings 8:27; comp. 11:18; 16:3; 2 Chr. 28:2), till finally put an end to by the severe discipline of the Captivity (Zeph. 1:4-6). The priests of Baal were in great numbers (1 Kings 18:19), and of various classes (2 Kings 10:19). Their mode of offering sacrifices is described in 1 Kings 18:25-29. The sun-god, under the general title of Baal, or "lord," was the chief object of worship of the Canaanites. Each locality had its special Baal, and the various local Baals were summed up under the name of Baalim, or "lords." Each Baal had a wife, who was a colourless reflection of himself.

BAAL (1) - ba'-al: (ba`al; or Baal): The Babylonian Belu or Bel, "Lord," was the title of the supreme god among the Canaanites.

Baal (Phoenician)
Son of El (god of thunder and lightning), Baal was the sun god of the Canaanites and Phoenicians, whose worship spread to the ancient Hebrews. In the Bible, Baal is also known as Beelzebub.


As Long as Ysryl existed, Yahweh was the only Father Ysryl had . Ysryl was not always called Isra 'el. Ysryl is not a name descended from a "Pagan god deity " EL , tradition. Isra'el was deliberately created and applied to a pre-existing people ,adopting ,the Canaanite terminology " The Art Of Ineffability" .

1 Chronicles 2:55
And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab

In 1 Maccabees {2:42} {7:12, 13} The Scribes ,again , [ who where The Kenites ] , joined a party of men called ,the Zealous Assideans .

Under the Asmonean rule the Sopherim ,The Scribes ,became the leaders of a new party called , " The Pharisees " . When the Kenites under the tittle of ,Scribes / Pharisees ,were admitted to the Sanhedrin , they began to make void the precepts of the Law . The "Traditions of the Elders" / " Oral Law " customs and interpretations, became greater then ,the teaching that Moses. The Pharisees referred to the Hebrew people as the "Am ha-aretz." This word is Hebrew and signifies "The People of the Land," or simply, "The Common People

The Pharisees referred to the Hebrew people as the "Am ha-aretz." This word is Hebrew and signifies "The People of the Land," or simply, "The Common People." These people were the people who lived in the cities, towns, and country. These Common People WERE NOT PHARISEES had no desire to practice the strict and disciplinary rules of the Pharisees. Even though the synagogues ruled by the Pharisees were open to all the Hebrews and they could attend them on the Sabbaths, this does not mean that all the Hebrews attended. In fact, from the available evidence, it appears quite strongly that only very few Hebrews, relatively speaking, attended the synagogues regularly.

The Pharisees control the synagogues, and had greater influence over the " Common People " who attended, they assumed the position of being the major sect of Judaism which is DILUTED PHARISAISM . When The Pharisees seize authority from the Levi priests, the "traditions of the elders" replace Yahweh Laws, The Kenites now claim to be the true prophets. The Pharisees created the Beth Din ha-Gadol (Great Legislature) as a lawmaking, law-transmitting and law-confirming body - an institution they did not learn of from scripture

Eustace Mullins, The Curse of Canaan
"Kenites The Canaanite , political parties included the Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes, Assassins, Herodians and Scribes. They were also divided into the Amorites, Hittites, Moabites, Midinites, Philistines, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Sepharvaims, Perizzites and affiliated tribes. Later the Edomites (descended from Esau) intermarried with the Turks and became known as the Chazars who occupied [present- day] Isra 'el."

According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, (Vol. V, (1904), p 41), the Khazars are "A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews in Russia . . . Historical evidence points to the region of the Urals as the home of the Chazars".
Ashkenazi Jewish author and historian, the late Arthur Koestler agrees that the large majority of Jews are of Khazar origin.


W.H Roschers Lexicon of Mythology-Juda(English)
" Derives from the greek diety Iudaios(Judaios) which is non other than a greek pagan diety…… perhaps this explains why the Iudaios(Judeans of Non-Hebrew descent and those Hebrews who punked out of serving YHWH) were always offended at hearing the Holy name of Yahwah pronounced and killed such people who pronounced it… They never believed in worshipping YHWH in the 1st place because they worshipped Iudaios(pay attention to the spelling of the greek names) and HaShem and Adonis (another heathen diety….)

The Pharisee are mostly responsible for this…… Remember they are mostly Idumean converts who dominated this Anti-levical Priestly and Anti-prophetic Judean Religious Faction according to Josephus. "
