Old khag (aka hajj)

The Muhammadans got the word hag, which is Egyptian Arabic, or hajj which is Arabian Arabic, (if you look you will see that they are the same), both meaning “pilgrimage or festival,” from the word khawgag or khag.

Accordign to the Torah, hajj or pilgrimage originated with the Jews. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the Arabic word hajj is the same as the Hebrew word as Haggai, which means “festive a pilgrim?”
