Seems like more than a coincidence that 55o to 1000 years later verses like Isaiah 7:14 where it says "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." It's not hard to see the striking similarities between the Egyptian and Christian stories.
I present this as one more of many examples that the obscurely authored compilation which has become known as the Old Testament contains ideas that were well known in the civilizations surrounding and preceding the Israel of its author "J."
In Christianity you have Jesus, born of a virgin. Mary impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Satan jealous of God. Satan desirous of snuffing out the life of infant Jesus. Very similar indeed.
I can't help notice the similarities of the narrative of "J" when writing Genesis. Adam and Eve. Able and Cain. Cain Jealous of Able and killing him. Cain banished.
