Shasu of YHW activity in the Levant (jan 1, 1377 BC – jan 1, 1279 BC)

Description:

Many scholars believe activity was localized to Seir, however several other toponyms in the corresponding list occur further north in lebanon, suggesting the "Shasu land" my have extended from Seir up to the Lebanon mountains. This is corroborated with "Shasu" also being found further north during the battle of Kadesh.

Ergo, the "Shasu of YHW" could be located anywhere in the levant and are not necessarily bound to the desert of Seir at this time.
