{"product_id":"mari-and-the-early-israelite-abraham-malamat-9780197261170","title":"Mari and the Early Israelite Experience","description":"In 1936 a French archaeological expedition to Mari, the capital of a kingdom on the Middle Euphrates in Syria, uncovered a vast archive of some 25,000 cuneiform tablets. Examining this huge corpus of Old Babylonian documents, mostly from the Mari palace, Malamat provides evidence of how the tablets reveal a vivid picture of Mesopotamia at a time when the Israelites were in their earliest formative stage. The broad spectrum of the Mari documents, from exotic prophecies to political intrigue, provides innumerable opportunities for comparative research into early Israel, the Bible, and Biblical Hebrew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abraham Malamat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197261175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197261170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.13w x 0.70d","brand":"Abraham Malamat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742192152831,"sku":"9780197261170","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mari-and-the-early-israelite-abraham-malamat-9780197261170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
