According to the Bible and the Koran, the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's eldest son, and Hagar, the maid, are Arabs. So in primitive blood, Jews and Arabs are very close.
The ancestor of the Jews was named Jacob (pronounced Yael Cooper in Arabic). Jacob is the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham (pronounced Ibrahim in Arabic). Later, he changed his name to Israel, which means "one who wrestles with God". Moreover, because he hurt his hamstring while fighting with God, Jews had to pick out his hamstring and throw it away when they slaughtered animals.
It is said that Jacob has 65,438+02 sons. Because of Yue Se, he moved to Egypt in the second year of the seven-year famine, and was favored by the first 15 and 16 dynasties in Egypt (about15th century BC) established by the Sikosos who ruled Egypt at that time. He lived in the lower Nile and became an agricultural country.
After Sikhs were driven out of Egypt by Nubian riots, the status of Israelis dropped sharply and became slaves of Egyptians. They fled Egypt under the leadership of Moses (pronounced Moussa in Arabic) and returned to Palestine to settle down. The descendants of Jacob's 65,438+02 sons formed twelve tribes, which were separated in Palestine and later unified into one country. Saul of the tribe of Benjamin first ruled for 40 years. After that, David of the tribe of Judah became king.
David's name means "Meng Ai", and the Israeli state reached its peak during the reign of David's son Solomon (called Suleiman I in Arabia).
After Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam succeeded to the throne and was finally captured by the Babylonian Empire, and the people were taken to Babylon as slaves.
After the Persian Empire destroyed Babylon. Jews were allowed to return to their homeland, rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and later became subjects of the Greek and Roman empires. /kloc-in the 0 th century, Jews rebelled against the Romans, Jerusalem was attacked by the Roman army, the temple was demolished, and Jews were scattered all over the world.
distinctive national feature
This country attaches great importance to knowledge. Jews teach their children to learn as soon as they talk. When they were three or four years old, they began to study at school. Every child who has just entered the classroom will be warmly applauded by everyone, making him feel that learning is happy. Jews believe that the earlier education begins, the better, so children begin to think completely at the age of four.
At that time, adults will tell children that there is no right answer in the world, so don't stick to one idea, because there are many other ways of thinking. Children should remember all the Old Testaments when they are five years old. The Old Testament is a great classic, and it is very high to remember it all.
