Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Seven is an interesting word, in Latin SEPTUM , Greek EPTA or EBDOM and Phoenician, SHEBA ( Shebta) , We get the
word Sabbath from here, note that September was the original Seventh month , counting from March.
March(1)
April(2)
May(3)
June(4)
July(5)
August(6)
September(7) = Sabbath-Month * Gen 2:2

Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Let's look at Hebrew and Arabic personal pronouns. Appendix:Hebrew pronouns - Wiktionary, Arabic subject & object pronouns (الضمائر العربية), Arabic possessive pronouns (ضمائر الملكية)
Both languages have two forms of these pronouns: standalone or subject, and suffixed or object. The standalone ones are used as subjects, while the suffixed ones are used as objects of prepositions, objects of verbs, and as possessors -- the same way in both languages. Here is a comparison of Hebrew and Arabic ones. Standalone, then suffixed.
It's rather evident that Indo-European and Semitic personal pronouns have very little in common. So Greek is descended from some earlier Indo-European language, not from Phoenician/Hebrew.

Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Seventh month in the early Roman calendar.
BTW, the Latin word is "septem".
As to the similarity between Indo-European and Semitic words for "six" and "seven", some early borrowings have long been suspected.
Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Your using an hypothetical PIE language, I am using the real languages, Hebrew & Greek.
An example was given in Ecclesiastes 1:12
- ἐγὼ(אני ) Ἐκκλησιαστὴς(קהלת ) " I, Kohelet
אנכה , אני , אנה
ἐγώ: Pronoun of the first person - ἐγών, ἰών , ἐγώγε * נ/γ

Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
That's no excuse for shoddy methodology. BTW, I can cite lots of real languages in connection with Indo-European and Semitic, and I have done so. Why is Greek more recognizably similar to other members of the Indo-European family than to Hebrew? Why is Hebrew more recognizably similar to Arabic than to any member of the Indo-European family?
Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
The problem is that theologians classified languages using the 'Sons of Noah' ,
Shem is the Son of Noah, Hebrew must be a Semitic language, that's the flawed logic and yet, Canaan is listed under 'Ham'
Isaiah 19:18 - Language of Canaan
Isaiah 36:11 - Language of Syria & Judea
Nehemiah 13:24
their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
Psalms 114:1
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Totally beside the point. Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian, and Ethiopian languages are classified as Semitic because of their resemblances to each other. The term Semitic is, of course, from Shem, and it's less long-winded than "Middle Eastern".
Also, Ethan, you still have not addressed the resemblances that I discussed. Why does Greek resemble English, Latin, Russian and Sanskrit much more than Hebrew? Why does Hebrew resemble Arabic much more than any of these?

Re: Zeus is the Jewish God.
Sanskrit resembles Greek because Alexander the Great deposited colonies in Western India
Ancient Romans & Phoenicians have a long history together, Punic Wars, Phoenician colonies were also deposited around Sicily and Italy, , you assume the Phoenician colonies throughout the Mediterraneans vanished leaving no trace of it's culture behind?
There was a Greek colony in Elephantine, deposited during the reign of Pstamik I
They was a Greek colony in the Persian Gulf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaros_(Failaka_Island)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characene
Colonies grow and become there own people.
