Using information from the Bible, Ancient Near Eastern documents, anthropology, and archaeology, Borowski synthesizes what we know about the use of animals in biblical times for food, clothing, transportation, and even cultic practices. This comprehensive catalog is a convenient desk resource for any reader, whether biblical scholar, archaeology student, or layperson. Essays on pastoral systems, cult, and agricultural economics, makes this also an important tool for researchers.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Oded Borowski</note> <subject> <topic>Domestic animals -- Palestine -- History</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">636.00933</classification> <classification authority="ddc">O23-B74</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0761989196</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/20/_53982828_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/20/_53982828_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070426.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
