Aliens in the Bible: Psalm 59 & Jeremiah 25

Psalm 59:6

In Psalm 59 King David asks God to protect him from ‘enemies’ who lie in wait for his soul. He calls enemies ‘worker of iniquity’ and ‘bloody men’. In Psalm 59 verse 6, David says the enemies who lie in wait for his soul come after sunset and cause the dogs around the city to הָמָֽה ‘roar’ (bark loudly).

59:6  (WLC 59:7) יָשׁוּבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִיר׃

Psalm 59:6 They return at sunset and the dogs around the city roar.

Jeremiah 25: 19-21

In Jeremiah 25:19 the prophet talks about enemies that come out after sunset. Among the nocturnal enemies Jeremiah includes Pharaohs, their slaves and rulers.

25:20  וְאֵת כָּל־הָעֶרֶב וְאֵת כָּל־מַלְכֵי אֶרֶץ הָעוּץ וְאֵת כָּל־מַלְכֵי אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְאֶת־אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְאֶת־עַזָּה וְאֶת־עֶקְרוֹן וְאֵת שְׁאֵרִית אַשְׁדּוֹד׃

25:21  אֶת־אֱדוֹם וְאֶת־מוֹאָב וְאֶת־בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן׃

Jeremiah 25:20-21 has been wrongly translated as: And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon…

in the conventional translation of Jeremiah 25:20-21 you don’t find even one of the following words: sunset, counselled, immigrants, migrants, fierce, rootless, remnant, but the words are in the verse.

According to Jeremiah 25:20, nocturnal entities had settled on the Earth and were ‘consulting’ with other fierce, rootless despoilers who also wanted to settle on Earth:
