Tło początków Izraela

Abstract

In our conception the beginning of the Israel we will take by leaving the Egypt by a group of the Semitic slaves, whose more far fates will bring to the rise of ethnic community defined the name of the Israel. Leaving the Egypt took place in very characteristic circumstances which in the biblical interpretation were named by plagues sent by the God. Pointing the attention on the historical conditions of event itself and its interpretation, we enquire to the conviction that it concern the powerful geological cataclysm, which was the eruption of a volcano in the Aegean Sea. The same eruption began the end of the Minoan civilization, which echoes of tradition holds in the story of Atlantis, which are the source of the Plato’s dialogues. This is for the special moment, we should notice, that this convergence ennobles the being of the Israel within the universal civilization. From the beginning Israel itself is found in the essential and important moment of the mankind history. This observation possesses not only the historical, but the theological value, which is worth to be considering.
