It describes crops and trees cultivated by the Israelite farmer and the methods and tools used in cultivation. The information is gathered from both literary and archaeological sources, with the Old Testament supplying most of the literary information. The author attributes several innovations to the biblical peasant: large-scale terracing, runoff farming (i.e. irrigation), restoration of soil fertility, and the invention of the beam oil-press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of print for some time, Eisenbrauns is pleased once again to make this valuable resource available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 268\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51779327230240,"sku":"9781575061740","price":75.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/70259baefb5e1c57aadf4e5fab71dbab.webp?v=1780515448","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/agriculture-in-iron-age-israel-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
