> this name attributed to moses, osarseph, appears only in manetho, and only in this text, in all ancient literature. perhaps osarseph is an egyptian form of joseph, in hebrew yosef, in which the letters jo (of jahweh) are substituted for osar (osiris/on), syncretized with dionysus/bacchus that the greek-romans called yahweh dionysus was the god that the greek-romans most compared to yahweh along with typhon. taking advantage of the fact that we are in christmas time. noel means el's birthday, the hebrew words el and eyal mean "god/powerful/oak tree" and the related word ayil that means "ram". this is why baal-hammom has ram's horns and baby zeus/zagreus in greek myth is suckled by the goat amalthea. december is for capricorn, which is a goat, se'ir in hebrew, the name of the mountain of edom from which yahweh came. the goat is the only animal with hooves capable of climbing mountains to be closer to it. the name azazel, which was admittedly offered sacrifices (i.e. worshiped) by the hebrews with yahweh's own permission, is derived from aziz, which means strength, and el. azazel, accordingly, means the strength of el.  > several greek testimonies trace dionysus provenance to canaan. herodotus specifies (ii, 49) that this god was introduced in greece by cadmus, the tyrian founder of thebai and the personification of the phoenician colonization in the aegean. this is confirmed in the seventh homeric hymn, which reports the capture of dionysus by pirates who wished to ransom his parents and friends in the canaanite eastern mediterranean for his freedom. dionysus canaanite origin is reinforced by the dionysian cortege or retinue, constituted of couretes, corybantes, cyclopes, telchines, and dactyls, all of whom are daimones frequently considered in greece as originating in the eastern mediterranean
