Note(s) : Written by one of the world's leading scholars of Bedouin culture, this groundbreaking
book sheds new light on significant points of convergence between Bedouin and early
Israelite cultures, as manifested in the Hebrew Bible. Bailey compares Bedouin and
biblical sources, identifying overlaps in economic activity, material culture, social
values, social organization, laws, religious practices, and oral traditions. He examines
the question of whether some early Israelites were indeed nomads as the Bible presents
them, offering a new angle on the controversy over the identity of the early Israelites
and a new cultural perspective to scholars of the Bible and the Bedouin alike. - Bibliogr. p. 241-249. Index
