	The Jewish people have a long history.  The Old Testement
was preseumably written by Jewish people.   The whole thing about
the covenant is in the old Testement and otherwise it is undefined.

	The Old Testement was NOT written in an Indo-Euorpean
language.   The assumption that the Israelites spoke an Indo-Euorpean
tounge is contrary to enormous evidence.    The Indo-European
invasion (sort of migration) had distinct boundaries, the name,
"Indo-European" describes those boundaries.   The Indo-Europeans
only got as far as Iran.  They pushed down most of the way
through India.  That was the furthest East they got.   This
took place about the same time as the earliest books of the
Old Testement were written.  Later books of the old Testement,
for instance, Job, make reference to Satan, a concept that
the Jewish people borrowed from the Indo-Euorpeans.  
This was not until nearly the time of Christ.
When the earlier books of te Old Testement were written
the Jewish people had never had any contact with Indo-Europeans
They did and still do spoke an completely different language 
from a completely different language group than the Indo-Europeans.
