A Bible Dictionary I have before me defines Exodus as the departure of a large group of people. Let me emphasize here that the word itself in the Old Testament conveys not only the sense of departure, but also the departure of a very particular group of people, the Hodu, the Hindustan people, the vegetarian tribe that traveled with Abraham from the kingdom of Oude in India.  It is indisputable that the Hod or Hud root is pervasive in numerous words defining Judaism. For example:

    If one keeps in mind the fact that Hebrew is a language designating its significances mainly through consonants, then the following connections are quite apparent, as we can see in the following words.

   The root of Juda, which is a shortened form of Jehudea, is Hud or Howde.  Both of these words are related to Hodu, Hoduwe (or Hindustan).

1935 Howde, means grandeur, glorious, beauty, comeliness, excellency, goodly, honor, majesty.

We may liken Howde to Ammihud:

5989 Ammiyhud or Ammihud refers to people of splendor.

The hud part of Ammiyhud is the reference to splendor. And the Ammi (or Ammiy) part refers to people.

1912 Hoduw, ho'doo, Hodu (i.e. Hindustan) , India.

Hod is defined as Sons of God in David Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia.

   In simple terms the positive attributes designated by Howde were considered attributes of the Hodu, the Hindustani people.   Relevant here is David Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia in which Hod in Hebrew is explained as "sons of the Gods."  Juxtaposed with what we know of the ancient Hebrew veneration of the east as their spiritual source, and with the theocentric view held by the original Jews, who named themselves after Rama, Shiva, Arjuna, and Kana, all of whom are eastern deities, Godwin's definition of Hod fits in with entry 1935 above, which conveys the attributes of God.

   Once again, through the positive attributes designated by word Hod, or Hud, the word itself became a symbol for the people manifesting those positive attributes, manifesting them because they followed the way of their deities, Shiva, Kannan, Umma.

   And the similarity between Howde and Hoduw or Hodu is obvious.   Having established the meaning of Hodu or Hoduw, we can look ahead and easily see that Exodus = Ex-Hodus, the leaving or the exiting of the Hodu people.

   One also sees the relevance of the Jews' veneration of the East as the place of their origins as indicated by the following words dealing with the East as as the historical and spiritual source of the Jews.

6931 qadmowniy or qadmoniy, means anterior in time, oriental, i.e. of the east; ancient...they that went before, east, (thing of) old.

"They that went before" is a generic description of Judaism's ancestry. This could hardly be a more specific confirmation that the roots of Israel and its religion were in the East, i.e. India and its environs.

Entry 6931 like entry 6935, points to the historical source of the Adam Kadmon of the Cabala.

6921 qadiym or qadim, from 6923; the fore or front part; hence (by orientation) the East; (often adverb, eastward, for brevity the east wind): east (-ward, wind).

6922 qaddiysh; corresponds to 6918--holy (One) saint.

The following word deals with the eternal or everlasting aspect of their historical past in the east .

6924 qedem or qedmah: the front, of place (absolutely the fore part, rel. the East) or time (antiquity); often used as an adverb (before, anciently, eastwardly): aforetime, ancient (time), before, east (end, part side, -ward), eternal X ever-(lasting); forward, old, past.

6926 qidmah means the forward part or relating to the East as well.

Notice the following definitions also deal with the precedence of the East, and the East as a place of beginnings, inspiring the Hebrews to name their children after the East.

6927 qadmah, priority in time; adverbially: before, afore, antiquity, former (old) estate.

6929 qedmah means precedence; and Kedemah is a son of Ishmael.

6930 qadmown means eastern and east.

6932 Qedmowth, means beginnings and Kedemoth is a place in eastern Palestine. So we see the Israelites naming both children and places after their beginnings, which are associated with the East.

6933 qadmay means first.

6934 Qadmiyel: Presence of God. The name of three Israelites.

6935 Qadmoniy: the same as 6931, ancient, that is, aboriginal; Kadmonite; the name of a tribe in Palestine; Kadmonites.

6942 qadash: a primitive root meaning to be, to make, pronounce or observe as clean, ceremonially or morally; ... consecrate, dedicate...hallow... keep holy, purify, sanctify.

6944 qodesh: a sacred place or thing; sanctity: holiness...saint, sanctuary.
 

1912 Hoduw, ho'doo, Hodu (i.e. Hindustan) , India.  (From Strong's Hebrew Dictionary.)

  The reader sees easily that Hodu, meaning Hindustan, is part of the word Exodus. Exodus = Ex-Hodus. The Exodus was the removal or leaving of the Hodu people of the East.

   The meanings of Howde or Hud were attributes of the Hodu, the people of India. As we know from their reverence for their spiritual ancestry, which the earliest Jews admit is from the East, [qadim (6921 and 6923 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary)],  and for the qadmowniy or qadmoniy (6931 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary) "those who came before," the original Jews not only had reverence for their past origins in India and its environs, but they also named themselves after their ancestors in India.
 

   It should be noted to the reader that Midea, where Moses lived and married, as well as Ethiopia, were considered to be an extension of India even into the first centuries of Christianity.  Both areas had populations worshipping Shiva.  And even some Jewish scribes and prophets of the Old Testament link the belief systems of Palestine, Egypt, Ethiopia and India as being the same.  The name Shiva in ancient Hebrew is transliterated as Sheba, Seba, Saba, Tseva, and Sheva.  The Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts, is named after Shiva as Saba. The Shabbath is named after Shiva as Sheba and the related verb form Shaba. Shavu ot, the Jewish Feast of Weeks and the Christian Pentecost, as well as T'ub Shevat are both obviously derived from the Shiva root.
 

    El Kana, is one of the names of God in the Torah and El Kana is sometimes seen as El Quannon, or El Chanan. All of these name have their origins in the name Kannan, which is the Tamil Hindu name for Vishnu or Krishna. Channa and Hanna are interchangeable in ancient Hebrew, and the feast day, Chanukka, was named after Kana or Vishnu.

  We know that after the Asherah shrines were destroyed and the devotees dispersed and killed, that the original religion of the Jews, who were devoted to Asura or Asherah, was also overthrown.  And those who overthrew the original Jews then established themselves as the orthodoxy of Judaism. And in order to remain in power, they had to conceal their origins as well as they could.  But it was impossible for them to change the names of their deities, their patriarchs, their ancestors, and their feast days which pointed to their Hindu origins.

   But the objective scholar or student, of original Judaism and Hinduism, when looking at the primary words which define Judaism, cannot miss the obvious connections between the original Jews and their Indian or Hindu origins.
As we have already seen in the list above, the Hud Root is primary and essential in Judaism. Note Strong's definitions of Yehuwd and Yehud and Yehuwdah.

3061 Yehuwd, yeh hood, Judah, Jewry, Judah, Judea.

3055 Yehud, yeh-hood' Jehud, a place in Palestine.

     Hud is a form of 1935 Howde, which means grandeur, glorious, beauty, comeliness, excellency, goodly, honor, majesty.  All this adulation is fitting, for India was then, and now still is, the center of the earth's spiritual splendor. Though all cultures and all religions have their spiritual giants who truly strive for the best for all humans, land occasionally for all creatures, it is the religious culture of India which has most consistently preached universal compassion for all creatures to the world.
 

   James Strong in his Hebrew Dictionary to his Concordance of the Old and New Testament recognizes that Yehuwdah refers to the first tribe of Judaism.
This further confirms the East and India as the Spiritual and Cultural Origin of Judaism.

3063 Yehuwdah yeh hoo daw' means celebrated (see 1935 Howde); Jehudah (or Judah), and the name of the tribe descended from the first tribe and its territory.

     Yehuwdah means Jah's or Jehovah's Hindustan.  Jehudea was a colony, an offspring, a rebirth of Vaishnava, Shaivite, and Sakti Hinduism and Jain Buddhism in the environs or cultural milieu called Canaan.  Canaan itself is named after Kannan.  Kannan is a Tamil Hindu name for Vishnu or Krishna (See Michael Jordan, Encyclopedia of Gods.)

   When David Godwin in his work on the Cabal  says that Hod in Hebrew is explained as Sons of the Gods, we can understand that this is a logical definition since Howde designates numerous positive attributes of the Hodu people.

  The hudah in Jehudah (Je-hudah) which was shortened to Judah is the same as Hodu meaning India or Hindustan.
 

    Technically, Je-Hudah would mean God's Hindustan, for Je is merely a shortened form of Jehovah. Number 3050 in Strong's Dictionary is Yahh, a contraction for 3068, which means the Lord, most vehement, Jewish national name of God.  And number 3068, Ye or Je, in Hebrew is short for Yehova.
 

     In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. Ye = Je = Ya = Jah. Therefore Jehudah means Jah's Hindustan. Ya or Jah is a known Sanskrit word meaning Shiva as Sthana and Krishna as Simhat.  And Yaya is a known names of Shiva: OM AVYAYAYA NAMAHA and OM YAJNAMAYAYA NAMAHA are two chants to Shiva using the Ya or Yaya name. This name figures in the history not only of Hinduism in the East, but also in the western hemisphere, which was originally the Patala of the Hindus. See Viewzone.com for markings and petroglyphs designating veneration to Yaya among the aborigines of the western hemisphere.

    All throughout this page it must be remember that Abraham initiated Judaism. He is its Father.  And he transplanted the religion he had known in the Kingdom of Oude in India in Canaan and its environs. Thus the prevalence of the (h)od or (h)ud root in ancient Hebrew.
 

     The Howdevjah variations show the association of Jah (Jehovah) with such splendor. And the Howde/Hoduw connection is impossible to ignore, unless one is purposely doing so.

    When the reader goes to the pages at the end of this web site, dealing with the fact that that Jah and Jew are both Sanskrit terms, it becomes even more easy to see that Judaism was originally Hinduism transplanted in Canaan. Canaan itself was named after Kannan, the Tamil Hindu name for Vishnu or Krishna.  The  word Jah, the name of God so pervasive in ancient Hebrew, itself has a Sanskrit source.  The following list of common Hebrew terms, all of which are easily traced to Sanskrit.

See the six pages on etymology at the end of this site.

   Yahweh and Jehu are simply transliterations of each other--scholars admit this--and Je is a familiar expression of emotional exuberance still used by Hindus.  The chant "Je Ram" is common.  Hu is the Divine He and She in Hinduism, and the same root is used for She and He in ancient Hebrew.  Other pages on this site deal more thoroughly with the fact that Deity for the ancient Jews was Female as well as Male.
 

     It was a logical plan for Moses to go to Canaan, the promised land, the land of milk and honey, favorite foods of the Hodu people, the Hindus, since the time of the Vedas.  The Israelites of the Exodus head for the place of the Amorites, the Canaanites (followers of Kana, (who is Vishnu or Krishna), the Jebusites and Ivvites (who are the Shaivites) in Canaan.  These other vegetarian tribes controlled much of Canaan and so it was also a refuge for the vegetarian Hodus of the Exodus, the Israelites.

      Moses tells the Israelites:

Exodus 13: 16 "And so it shall be as a sign upon your hand and as a symbol on your forehead that with a mighty hand the Lord freed us from Egypt."

Exodus 13: 9 "And this shall serve you as a sign on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead--in order that the teaching of the Lord may be in your mouth--that with a mighty hand the Lord freed you from Egypt."

    So, though the revisers of the Torah tried to change the essentials of the original Vegetarian Torah's teachings, revising the original scriptures to have God give Noah a covenant of carnivorism, in contrast to the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29-30, they didn't take all the evidence of the original vegetarianism of Judaism out of the Torah by any means. And as we shall see in another section of this study, the covenant of carnivorism in the Torah is remarkably like the description in the Book of Enoch, except that in Enoch all bloodshed is condemned, and animal sacrifices are seen as originating with the fallen angels, who become equivalent to Satans, or devils, or evil spirits.  For this reason the Book of Enoch has been deemed apocryphal by the orthodox, just as the orthodox rabbis call the teachings of the late prophets, most of whom condemn animal sacrifices, as books which are secondary  to the teachings of the Torah.

     Later, after the vegetarians venerating the Asherah, Asura to the Hindus, were overthrown, the scriptures were rewritten to make it appear that Joshua had to fight hostile tribes in Canaan. Therefore the vegetarians of Canaan worshipping the sacred cow, as Hindus do, were made to appear as sinful, instead of what they were, people worshipping the same deities worshipped by the original Jews.  And that is why the Israelites went to Canaan, to be with other friendly vegetarian tribes. We must scrutinize the notion that the Israelites, who were miraculously saved from the Egyptian army by God as Sabaoth (Saba is a name of Shiva) went from Egypt to another place of warfare, Canaan, instead of a refuge, a promised land of milk and honey (favorite foods of the Hindus since the time of the Vedas).  Canaan was a promised land of refuge. But the revisers of the scriptures, knew that Canaan would be understood as a haven for the Vedic vegetarian religions that orthodox Judaism opposed. So they had to change the way in which the vegetarian inhabitants of Canaan were viewed. Therefore they became, instead of friendly tribes in a land that was a refuge, enemy tribes needing to be conquered.
 

    The original iconography of the Jews worshipping Shiva and El Kana was later condemned by those rewriting the Torah.  The calf, some say bull, and bronze serpent, God speaking out of the pillar of fire, the burning bush itself, the staff of Moses and Aaron--all these are intimately connected with the Hodu people, with the Hindu pantheon. Shiva appears in a pillar of fire in the Lingam Purana. Shiva as Isa has a staff. The bull Nandi is sacred to Shiva or Sheba, Lord of the Shabbath. (Sitchin affirms that Elisheva aka Elisheba in Canaan meant "my god is seven" which is a designation for Shiva, Lord of Seven Worlds. (See Lost Realms by Zechariah Sitchin).
 

     In the following list note that the hud root can be found in Canaan. Jehudith is described as a Canaanite. So the Oude, the Hodu, the Hud or Hod people
were in Canaan as well.

3064 Yehuwdiy, yeh hoo dee, is a Jehudite, or Jew.

The yehuwd root was used pervasively to describe the Jews.

3065 Yehuwdiy, means an Israelite; Jehudi=a form of Jehu.

3066 Yehuwdiyth, yeh hoo deeth' means the Jewish language.

The Hebrew language was in fact the natural child of Sanskrit, raised in a different physical environment, somewhat modified by the nuances and influences of the surrounding cultures, but still affirming--through using the names of Hindu deities--the essential significance of Hinduism's spiritual core, which teaches vegetarianism and compassion for all creatures and egalitarianism.

3067 Yehuwdith, the feminine form of 3066, means Jewess.  Jehudith, a woman of Canaan. Judith.
 

646 Ephowd, or Ephod, a girdle, specifically the high priest's shoulder piece.  Here, the root howd or hod is connected with the sacred office of the high priest.

3054 Yahad, to Judaize, to become Jewish, become Jews. from 3061

Yahad is no doubt the source for the Arabic Jihad.

The root Hud was also used to convey the notion of unity and preparedness and leadership among the Israelites.

164 Ehuwd, united, name of two or three Israelites.

161 Ohad, to be united, unity, an Israelite.

258 Echad, to unify.

261 Echuwd, united, the name of three Israelites. from 258.

5989 Ammiyhud or Ammihud refers to people of splendor. The hud part of Ammiyhud is the reference to splendor. And the Ammi (or Ammiy) part refers to people.

6259 Athuwd, prepared, ready, treasures.

6260 Attuwd or attud, prepared, full grown, leaders of the people.

1912 Hoduw, ho'doo, Hodu (i.e. Hindustan) , India.

1931 Huw, hoo, the feminine of which is hiy, which means he; Hu is the divine He in Sanskrit, and a sacred sound, as well as being part of the name of the youngest interrogator of Job, Elihu.

1935 Howd, hode, means grandeur, glorious, beauty, comeliness, excellency, goodly, honor, majesty.

1936 Howd, hode, the same as 1935; Hod, an Israelite.

Hod, Sons of the Gods, from David Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia.

    One of the ways in which Muhammad attempted to assure that his teachings would be transmitted faithfully was to disclose the name of the true prophet as Hud, a name which was known to designate the Hindus, the Hud or Hod of Judaism.  This  should be seen in context of the following facts. Muhammad was called a Sabean by commentators on the Koran, and Sabeans, pure and simple, are followers of Saba, or Shiva.  The ka aba, the sacred stone of Mecca, is  fairly obviously a Shiva lingam, and the word Ka is a name of Brahma, the creator Deity in Hinduism. Rahman is one of the names of God in Islam, and is obviously a form of Rama. Rimmon and Ramman were designations of Rama among the original Jews and the Ethiopians (See Michael Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible). Also, Muhammad's name may be seen as a compound of Mah and Ahmed, meaning the "great pillar" in ancient Hebrew, which is intimately related to Arabic.  Pillars were  of course erected to Shiva.

   Understanding these facts, which all point to Muhammad reestablishing the true tradition which the orthodoxies of Judaism and Christianity had abandoned, the objective reader must gravitate to the Shiite side of the controversy between the Sunnis, the orthodoxy of Islam and the Shiites, who state that Hazrat Ali, Muhammad's vegetarian nephew, was meant to represent the true lineage of Islam.
 

      True research, some think, is genius rather than perseverance. It isn't. It is perseverance. But perhaps it does just require a particular kind of spirit to persevere, in which case both genius and perseverance are part of the equation. In any case, it is not hard for the objective reader to understand the connection between the Oude of Abraham's past, and the Hod or Hud of original Judaism. This chapter spells out A religious pluralism came with Abraham, for though he named his children in the Sabean tradition, the Sabeans then, like the Shaivites today, consider the Vaishnava sects as brothers and sisters, as well as the Sakti and Jain sects. The vegetarians of India are far more accepting of other beliefs than are the carnivorous creeds of the world. And the religious pluralism of India today, which, though primarily a vegetarian nation, also has in its boundaries Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

1937 Howdevah, a form of 1938; Hodevah (or Hodevjah), an Israelite; Hodevah.

1938  Howdavjah, from 1935 and 3050; majesty of Jah; Hodavjah, the name of three Israelites; Hodaviah.

7772 Showa, rich; Shod, an Oriental people, Shoa. Same as 7771

7770 Shuwa;, the same as 7769; Shud; a Canaanite, Shua, Shuah.

3050 = Yahh, contraction for 3068, which means the Lord, most vehement, Jewish national name of God;

1939 Howdayevahuw, a form of 1938; Hodajvah, an Israelite; Hodaiah.

1940 Howdiyah, a form for the feminine of 3064; a Jewess; Hodiah.

1941 Howdiyah, a form of 1938; Hodijah, the name of three Israelites. Hodijah.

   Whereas Strong often defines both parts of a compound word in his Exhaustive Concordance, i.e. the glory of Jah, the Favor of God, the Beloved of Jah or God, in the case of Howdevah he does not define both parts of the compound word, because it would be very embarrassing to juxtapose India and Jah to orthodox Jewish readers accustomed to hearing other nations and especially religious nations, described as heretical or infidel.  The word Howdevah paints a pleasing portrait of India (and therefore of its mainly vegetarian inhabitants), which would be very embarrassing to a carnivorous culture claiming to be the only true lineage of God in  religious history.  The claim of orthodoxy, of course, is total nonsense and absurdity, as we see also in the Hebrew language's definition of Abel. The Hebrew language itself contains numerous denunciations of the way of Abel, whose very name means the source of lamentation and mourning, and a way that is vain and unsatisfactory.  So too, another cattleman, Job, Ijob, has a name that means "the hated or the persecuted one."

    Original Judaism denounced cattlemen who killed the cattle and the creatures of Shiva Pasupati, Lord of Creatures and Protector of Cattle.

   So the study of the origins of the words, Exodus and Jehudea, once again take us to the land of India, and it is the ancient Hebrew language itself that proves the Hindu and Sanskrit origins of Judaism and ancient Hebrew.
