The Bible itself presents these neighbors in nuanced and conflicting ways; sometimes they are friends, and sometimes they are enemies, spoken of as though they must die in order for Israel to live. This book explores both the biblical portrayal of the smaller groups surrounding Israel and what people can know about these groups through their own literature, archaeology, and other sources. By uncovering the identity of the Philistines as settlers along the coast at the same time that early Israel carved out their place in the land, for example, one can better understand the social turmoil and political maneuvering that lies just beneath the surface of the biblical narrative. 000932371 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on June 4, 2020). 000932371 63000 $$aBible.$$pOld Testament$$xHistory of Biblical events. 000932371 650_0 $$aIron age$$zMiddle East. 000932371 650_0 $$aBronze age$$zMiddle East. 000932371 650_0 $$aJews$$xHistory$$yTo 586 B.C. 000932371 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xHistory$$yTo 622. 000932371 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190690595 000932371 830_0 $$aEssentials of biblical studies. 000932371 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000932371 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000932371 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190690595.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000932371 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:932371$$pGLOBAL_SET 000932371 980__ $$aEBOOK 000932371 980__ $$aBIB 000932371 982__ $$aEbook 000932371 983__ $$aOnline
