I came across following --
Maya and the Bible
Maya is a concept that is not used in the Bible at all. However, many of the key elements in the most ancient Vedic understanding of it, are found in the Bible too, for example:
- Extensive wisdom is much praised in the whole Bible as valuable to man, and coming from God, and maya is wisdom.
- Special art was made use of to design and form a goat-skin covenant tent and its artifacts and utensils - and maya is art.
- Extraordinary power(s) can be said to accompany the chosen ones of God in both the Old and New Testament - such prowess may be of maya.
The three emphasised keynotes above are part-definitions of maya from very old times in Monier-Williams' Sanskrit-English Dictionary]
