I suspect some of the Book of the Judges's tales could be reminiscences of IE Philistean/Anatolian/Mitanian mythology. There's somethoing Varunic in Joshua stopping the sun, and something Vishnu/Vidarr trait in Moses crossing Red Sea. Moses is linked to Midianites... Mitanian substratum?

But whether he was called scabinus/Schöffe I don't know. It is a possibility.
