Nov. 21 Lesson Review

Abraham and the Early Hebrews:

Abraham left Mesopotamia and eventually went to Canaan. - Genesis 12


Then they wandered around awhile. - Genesis 13



Early Hebrew people were considered wanderers or outcasts (Habiru or Apiru), but were also known for being monotheistic and being skilled in the art of warfare (with less-advanced weapons)....



Mesopotamians and Egyptians had the sickle sword:


Early Hebrews had spears, slings, guerrilla-style tactics, and trickery. - Genesis 14

Abraham's great granddaughter (Dinah, daughter of Jacob) was raped. Jacob's sons tricked the Hivites into circumcision, then killed them all. - Genesis 34
