The Origin of the Hurrian Word Abi, the Abi, 1966
The Hurrians can trace their movements back to about 4,500 BC or their abouts on the plains of Ararat. This was a practice brought to Mesopotamia and brought to Canaan. It's also the origin of the word in Hebrew, ove, which is usually translated in the Bible as medium. In other words, when Saul went to visit the medium of Endor, he visited the ove of Endor and remember Samuel, the spirit of Samuel came up from the earth.
