The Phoenicians were traders who ranged the Mediterranean, including Greek-speaking areas. It is believed that the early Greeks borrowed the Phoenician script and adapted it. However, that does not mean they spoke the same language. There are numerous cases in history where a script is used for two languages that are unrelated. Yiddish, for example, uses Hebrew script but is European (medieval German dialect), not Semitic. Urdu, the current national language of Pakistan, is an Indo-Aryan language, but uses Arabic script. This however is due to religious reasons (Pakistan is a Muslim-majority country).

Phoenician Language was primarily used by Merchants, designed for that purpose, that is why the language omits vowels and sometimes
consonants to fit as much information on tablets that they had to ferry across the Mediterranean. Persian Empire adopted the script and stylised it into Imperial Aramaic and this is the origin of the Hebrew script, The Greek colony of Elephantine adopted Imperial Aramaic.

The Philistines were expelled from Ancient Egypt during the reign of Ramses III into Southern Canaan around the
11th century BCE, but in the Bible, Philistines already inhabited the region and thus the events in the Torah must of occurred later.

Genesis 21:32 - Abraham sojourned in the Philistines'
Exodus 15:14 - Inhabitants of Palestina

Adad-Nirari III (Slab of Nimrud) *811 BC - 783 BC
from the bank of the Euphrates, the land of Hatti, the land of Amurru in its entirety, the land of Tyre, the land of Sidon, the land of Humri, the land of Edom, the land of Palastu, as far as the great sea of the setting sun. I imposed tax and tribute on them

This slab mentions Seven locations in the Levant from north to south
Hatti - Amurra - Tyre - Sidon - Humri - Edom - Palastu ( who's missing?)

ἠπείρω (Hebrews )

SAA 19 025 - Tiglath-Pileser III
Raid by the Ionians (ia-u-na-a-a) on the Syrian coast

Herodotus 7:89
Phoenicians formerly dwelt as they themselves say, by the Red Sea; they crossed from there and now

You make the common mistake of believing the Bible's historical records are wrong until proven right. An assumption never made about extra-biblical historical sources, even those that invoke or pay homage to the deities of those peoples. That is not fair nor is it logical, as time and time again archaeology has proven the historical accuracy of the Bible beyond dispute. As for the Philistines, they apparently made several migrations over time from their homeland(s). No reason why they could not have come to live in Canaan more than once. And no scholar that I am aware of dates the events in the Torah later, just the writing of them. (If there are any, they are wrong. And the dating is wrong too.)

And for the last time, Hebrew and Greek are not related linguistically. "Hebrews" comes from the root עבר. It has no relation whatsoever to any Greek word. None.

עבר
- ὑπέρ 'Beyond, Over
- περάω 'pass right across
- ἠπείρω 'to make into mainland
- πορεύω 'pass through, traverse

I never brought up the Philistines in this thread but they are probably what the Greeks call the 'Palesgoi ('πελασ-γοί)
or ή πάραλος γῆ "people of the Coast land".

The story of Abraham is filled with anachronism because the Bible is not in the chronological order of the Books
and they are no dates or time stamps in the Torah.

Genesis 11:31 - Exodus
Genesis 18:5 - Passover
Genesis 26:5 - Torah & Commandments

You declare: "And for the last time, Hebrew and Greek are not related linguistically. "Hebrews" comes from the root עבר. It has no relation whatsoever to any Greek word. None."

Yet, I would be careful about emphatic, sweeping and absolute statements, and perpetuated academic (= a-qadem-ic, namely the wisdom of קֶדֶם QEDEM) dogma. I would agree that Lee's exuberant posts are, indeed, possibly, vague and diffused. He is excited about something that others have already noticed before him, but has not yet come to articulated and organize.

Greek is undeniably Indo-European (yet related to Sanskrit of the far east), while Hebrew is Semitic. yet eastern tribes wandering into Greece possibly carried with them, and preserved, ancient eastern everyday terms, say, names of plants and animals. I suspect that "corn" and "oil" are two such words. The same is true, methinks, about mythological names.

Moreover, Greek, or Indo-European in general, and Hebrew may harbor a very basic, stealthy, ancient connection at their very foundation, by way of shared fundamental root-concepts. Take, for instance, the common word ὑπέρ (over = ov-er, up, upper = up-er), which apparently corresponds to the Hebrew אב, עב, אף, עף with the appended IE -er, 'it is'. Consider also the two household words pater = pat-er, 'father', and mater = mat-er, 'mother'. It is conceivable that the fraction PAT of pater is the eastern פת = פ-את as in בת = ב-את (or אב-את), and that the ending -ER (as in "her"), is an IE pileup. Similarly, mat-er = אם-את plus the IE -er. Recall the piled-up word children = child-r-n, German: Kind, Kinder.
