Book Description:
History and Tradition in Early Israel offers a reconstruction of Israelite tradition based upon a new master paradigm. It is built upon the observation that El and Yahweh were different gods, belonging to two religions and venerated by two peoples living in different regions of Palestine (Israel and Judah). The northern tribes were originally called Jacob after their Aramean patriarch. They worshipped the high god El and took him as their namesake deity with their adoption of the new corporate name, Israel ('El rules'). Their neighbors to the south were Hebrews who worshipped the Bedouin war god Yahweh Sabaoth who inhabited the desert regions of Edom, Midian and Sinai. The distinctiveness of the two groups was purposely obscured by various mechanisms intended to unite them under a new collective identity. Based upon this understanding of the socio religious components of ancient Israel, History and Tradition in Early Israel offers a lucid survey of the history and traditions of Israel s early period (c. 1380 1000 BCE).
