奈思和圣经中的两个德博拉（翻译更新）

卷首语：
这段英文原文是我从网络的学术论文中摘录下来的，我添加了翻译。从文中提供的资料可以证明，我早先在关于圣经家庭的轮回一文中推理的耶稣前世是亚伯拉罕的儿子以萨克的线索是正确的。以色列人正是以萨克的后代，这就是他后来转世为以色列人领袖的业力起源：他是以色列人的祖先。
这从以萨克的保姆是德博拉可以看出来，这一对的业力关系也在荷鲁斯和伊西斯，耶稣和玛丽亚的关系中重复显现。至于作者认为，两个德博拉是以色列人根据埃及女神奈思的形象而杜撰的，此一观点显然不正确。因为圣经提供的关于两个德博拉的时代资料都有历史可以考证，并非臆造。不过作者提出两个德博拉和奈思女神之间的联系倒是给人不少启示，应该说，两个德博拉是奈思女神在以色列的前世或者转世，三个人之间有着业力特征的一致性。
