WHO'S WHO IN TANAKH: The Complete Biographical Dictionary from Aaron to Zurishaddai

"The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh - an acronym for Torah (Pentateuch), Neviim (Former and Latter Prophets), and Ketuvim (miscellaneous writings) - includes in its pages over three thousand characters. This unique volume, the most complete and detailed reference book that has been written on the subject, tells the story of each one of them." "From Aaron to Zurishaddai, this book relates the biographies of every single person named in the Bible, the very famous and the less famous. They are all here, patriarchs and prophets, warriors and peace makers, kings and queens, holy men and sinners, heroes and villains. Each entry gathers together, in a coherent and continuous narration, all the references found in the Bible about that particular person, information that, in many cases, is scattered across great stretches of the biblical text." "The biographical entries, conveniently arranged in an encyclopedic A to Z format, are accompanied by information about the origin of the name of the person and its meaning, and the approximate date when that person lived. If more than one person shares the same name, the entries are ordered and numbered according to their first appearance in the Bible." "This book differs from comparable volumes in having only the Bible text as its source. It is based solely on the biblical text, without extra-biblical stories, theological interpretations, or other additions."--BOOK JACKET.Mandel, David is the author of 'WHO'S WHO IN TANAKH: The Complete Biographical Dictionary from Aaron to Zurishaddai' with ISBN 9789657112144 and ISBN 9657112141.
