Using archaeological and textual sources, the author reconstructs the daily lives of the Biblical Israelites (ca. 1200-600 B.C.E.). He describes the activities of rural and urban economies, physical settings and buildings, sociopolitical structures, food preparation and storage, hygiene and sanitation, arts and writing, and warfare. His final chapter consists of a hypothetical day in the life of one family living in a small hamlet in the days of King Hezekiah.
