Josephus is quoting Clearchus, so the first two quotes are not independent quotes and might as just quote Clearchus only, who by the way was quoting Aristotle.
Again, the point isn't that there was no link between Judaism and Hinduism, but that it's a fucking stretch to say that the character of Abram/Abraham (who is depicted as a mortal subservient to God) is modeled on a character that is depicted as God/one of the gods in their respective account. The accounts of these two characters are radically different, no matter how one spins it.
