What drives and characterizes the descriptions given of them? The starting point for this research lies in the premise that, despite their detailed geographical nature, the biblical texts are not genuinely geographical documents. They are more appropriately to be understood and examined as literary texts composed in the service of an ideological agenda. In order to comprehend properly the idea of the Promised Land presented in the Hebrew Bible?its definitions, dimensions, and significance?we must understand that the descriptions belong to diverse literary genres, were composed according to various literary devices that require decoding, and that reflect a range of perspectives, outlooks, and notions.All the Boundaries of the Land provides engaging fresh perspectives on the variant views of the Promised Land in the interface between literature, history, geography, and ideology. It does not intend to answer the question of how the borders of the land altered throughout the course of history. The reader will find no maps or outlines in this book. The emphasis is on the literary tools that were employed by the biblical authors who described the borders, and the ideological motives that guided them.Erratum: All the Boundaries of the Land: The Promised Land in Biblical Thought in Light of the Ancient Near East was published with the support of the Israel Science Foundation (ISF). They funded the translation of the book into English and enabled Nili Wazana to make her research accessible to the wider scientific community. The preface to the book mistakenly fails to mention their contribution, thanking instead the Israel Academy of Science. Future editions will acknowledge the author?s gratitude to the Israel Science Foundation. 606 $aPalestine--In the Bible$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01051585 606 $aJews$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00983135 606 $aBoundaries$xBiblical teaching$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01352126 606 $aJews$xHistory$yTo 70 A.D 607 $aMiddle East$zPalestine$2fast 607 $aPalestine$xBoundaries$xBiblical teaching 607 $aPalestine$xIn the Bible 608 $aHistory 615 7$aPalestine--In the Bible 615 7$aJews 615 7$aBoundaries$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a221.9/1 700 $aWazana$b Nili$01694924 701 $aWazana$b Nili$01694924 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812468703321 996 $aAll the Boundaries of the Land$94073806 997 $aUNINA
