Talk:Shasu - Wikipedia

So far as I've heard, "Shasu" was a general term used by the Egyptians for the nomads of Sinai, Transjordan, and Palestine. Do we know what language they spoke? (Was it a Canaanite language, like the later peoples of those areas?) A connection with the Israelites (who spoke a Canaanite language) has been suggested; would that also suggest a connection with the Edomites, Moabites, Kenites, and Midianites, who were their cultural and linguistic relatives? In short, how much data do we actually have on the Shasu? --Rob117 05:27, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

THERE USED TO BE AN ENTRY IN EASTON'S BIBLE DICTIONARY +/- SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY that linked the Shasu to Sheshai, the son of Anak, the son of Arba = Hebron = Hebrew and cognate with the SA.GAZ.
