✧ Tell es-Sakan ✧
Tell es-Sakan is an archaeological site about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Gaza City in Palestine. It was the site of two separate Early Bronze Age urban settlements. Ancient Egypt expanded its territory into southwestern Palestine in the latter half of the 4th millennium BCE and during this time Tell es-Sakan was founded as an administrative...

Busy year for publications (think that’s it for me this year):
Semitic *ʾilāh- and Hebrew אלהים: From plural ‘gods’ to singular ‘God’ (Open Access)
Abstract: The Biblical Hebrew word אלהים is plural in form. Semantically and syntactically, however, it can be plural or singular. The stem of this noun can be reconstructed as * ʾilāh-. As already noted by Wellhausen, this looks like a broken plural of *ʾil-, the Proto-Semitic word for ‘god’. This article takes Wellhausen’s observation and uses it to explain the plural morphology of Hebrew אלהים. I argue that *ʾilāh- should be reconstructed with redundant plural suffixes in some parts of the paradigm. This reconstructed paradigm is preserved virtually unchanged in Archaic Biblical Hebrew. The reconstructed paradigm also explains the almost complete replacement of *ʾil- by *ʾilāh- in Aramaic and Arabic and allows us to reassess the reasons for the association between the lexeme ‘god’ and plural number. Consequently, earlier suggestions that see אלהים’s plural number as a reflection of pre-Yahwistic polytheism or as a marker of abstractness are no longer tenable.
The varying size of the Sodom coalition in Genesis 14 (in FS Tigchelaar; email me for a PDF)
Trying my hardest to find something that might interest newly retired KU Leuven professor Eibert Tigchelaar, I used some Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple literature as well as other textual and linguistic evidence to seek for order in the number of kings on Sodom’s side in Gen 14. Turns out that this closely aligns with other indications of different layers in this fascinating chapter: one about a local raid, one that may be a reworking of a lost epic, and a third one building on the combination of the first two. If you understand Dutch (or want to practice!), also check out this brand new episode of Timo Epping’s Oudheid, all about this question.

Bound feet, severed head: Experts uncover ancient donkey sacrifices in Israel

Also, from the same article, "The Canaanite Phoenicians on the Syrian coast re-established their trading communities after the #Philistine and Aramaean invasions."
So, #Philistines were #Aegean, while #Canaanite were #Phoenicians.
Regardless of genealogy, they were not natives, but invaders.
#FirstTemple destroyed by #Babylonians was a human artifact, not a religious reference.
Philistine | Definition, People, Homeland, & Facts | Britannica
Philistine, one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century BCE, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites. According to biblical tradition, the Philistines came from Caphtor (possibly Crete, although there is no archaeological evidence supporting this claim).

>> Genetics proves that Palestinians do not have Greek genes, but Canaanite genes.
Even without a source, I can see where what you are saying does not actually contradict what the book says.
It never said anything about the genealogy. Only the geography.
That #Philistines came from the #Greek island of #Crete says nothing about their genes.
Once settled in the portion of #Judea then knows as #Canaan, they became #Canaanite, am I right?
