Is There a Parallel between 1 Samuel 3 and the Sixth Chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead?

Peter E. Lewis

28/224 Marine Parade, Labrador, Queensland 4215, Australia

This article offers a comparison of the accounts in 1 Samuel 3 and the Sixth Chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead and leads to the conclusion that they may be parallel accounts. The background to the Egyptian text is explained, and it is suggested that the Hebrew author used the Egyptian account in writing this important chapter in the Deuteronomistic History.

Key Words: 1 Samuel • Deuteronomistic History • Jeremiah • Egypt • Egyptian Book of the Dead • ushebti • ushabti • shabti
