While the history of Israel during the period from ca. 1200 to 586
B.C.E. has been in the forefront of biblical research, little
attention has been given to questions of daily life. Where did the
Israelites live? What did people do for a living? What did they eat
and what affected their health? How did the family function? These
and similar questions form the basis for this book. The book
introduces different aspects of daily life. It describes the
natural setting and the people who occupied the land. It deals with
the economy, both rural and urban, emphasizing the main sources of
livelihood such as agriculture, herding, and trade. These topics
are discussed in relation to the family in particular and the
social structure in general. Other topics include urban society,
the bureaucracy and the military. Beyond material culture, the book
delves into daily and seasonal cultural, social and religious
activities, art, music, and the place of writing in Israelite
society. Drawing on textual and archaeological evidence, and
written with nontechnical language, the book will be especially
helpful for undergraduates, seminarians, pastors, rabbis, and other
interested nonspecialist readers as well as graduate students and
faculty in Hebrew Bible.
