Society of Biblical Literature. Paperback. New. Paperback. 316 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.4in. x 0.8in.The Ugaritic ritual texts provide the only extensive documentary data for Late Bronze cultic practice in the greater Syro-Palestinian region. These texts, in a West-Semitic language that belongs to the same family as Hebrew and Aramaic, reflect the actual practice of a sacrificial cult in the city of Ugarit in the late twelfth-early eleventh centuries B. C. E. Based on new collations of the tablets, these texts and translations provide ready access to this direct witness to the form taken by one of the predecessors of the biblical sacrificial cult. In addition to the narrowly ritual texts, which were composed in prose and in a very laconic form of expression, a number of poetic texts are presented that reveal the ideological link that existed between cultic practice and the concept of royalty. While the prose ritual texts document a regular system of offerings to the great deities of the pantheon, related directly to the lunar cycle and less directly to the solar year, some of the poetic texts reveal the desire on the part of the kings of Ugarit to maintain ties with their departed ancestors. The kings saw their effective power as consisting of a continuum from the royal ancestors through to the reigning king and the passage of this power as being effected by ritual practice. More mundane concerns were also addressed ritually, such as protecting horses or other equids from snakebite, finding a cure for a sick child, or defending people from attack by sorcerers. The practice of divination at Ugarit is documented by other texts, both in the form of manuals, collections of collections of omens from past practice, and in the form of accounts of real-world consultations with a divinatory priest by someone seeking guidance.

FIRST CATARACT OF THE NILE AT ASSUAN BEFORE THE DAM WAS BUILT UNDER PERSIAN LAW The law under which the Jews of Elephantine lived in common with their neighbors was that of Persia. Apart from the Tribunal of the Jews, there is nothing to show that they were subject to any code of laws of their own or to local laws of Egypt. The conveyance of property is couched in the technical terms of Babylonian law, from which the law of Western Asia derived its origin, and the deeds which relate to it are drawn up in the form made familiar to us by the legal documents of Babylonia. TESTAMENTARY POWER A Jew who owned property could will it to whom he would, and determine the succession to it after his death. WOMENS RIGHTS In this respect (the right to devise by will) the woman was on an equal footing with the man. She too, could hold property and leave it by will as she wished. We learn that the woman had the same right as the man to pronounce a sentence of divorce; but in each case it was only valid if pronounced in a public assembly. RACES IN THE ISLAND The mixture of names in the deeds is of considerable interest. They were found to be Jewish, Egyptian, Persian Syrian, Babylonian, Berber and perhaps others. Professor Sayce tells us that a new light is thrown by these documents on the history and character of the Aramaic language, as it was spoken and written in the Western provinces of the Persian empire in the V century B. C; new words and meanings are added to the Aramaic Dictionary, and new forms or idioms to Aramaic grammar, while the origin of the Bibheal Chaldee is at length explained to us.
