I’ve been reading a lot of the Torah lately for my work on Two Pigeons. I haven’t been very happy with any of the translations-interpretations, though. There is so much good material that gets glossed over…so much wasted potential. So I decided to take a little stab at a version of my own — starting with Genesis 12.
Question to the Old Testament (and Torah) experts: Is there any mention of, or allusion to, the pyramids, or the 'old gods' (Ra, etc.) in the Bible's OT (or Torah)? I've done a lot of research on the historicity of the Bible (not the Torah), but never have come across anything like that. (Even if not it I got a laugh out of the Ra reference here)
my word of god is the only word of you god you are allowed to read.
Dude. Have you read R. Crumb's Genesis? I think you'd dig it.
oh yeah it's great.
Okay, now I feel like I have to break open the Bible and reread this passage.

No don't think so.
Wow! That YHWH! She gets pissed off so easily . . . .
