The agricultural world of ancient Israel swarmed with animals -- birds, insects, fish, pack animals, pets, animals for hunting, and domesticated herds of sheep, goats and cattle. Using information from the Bible, ancient Near Eastern documents, anthropology and archaeology, Oded Borowski synthesizes what we know about the use of animals in bible times for food, clothing, transportation, and even cultic practices. This comprehensive catalog of animals and their uses is a convenient desk resource for any reader -- whether biblical scholar, archaeology student or layperson. Essays on pastoral systems, cults, and agricultural economics make this an indispensable tool for researchers.
Industry Reviews
