  1. Israelites

  2. Israelites • Originally from present day Israel located in what region of the world. Hint think middle

  3. Israelite Kingdom began 1020BCE and lasted until it was conquered by the Assyrians in 722 BCE

  4. How do we know so much about ancient Israel? • Torah- Hebrew Bible/Christian’s “Old Testament” *Historians try to corroborate the information in the Torah using archaeological evidence from where the Israelites lived and the records left by other civilizations at the time.

  5. Torah • Five Books- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy • Origin Story- Adam and Eve • Yaweh=God • Moses and followers escaped from Egypt to find the promised land

  6. Quick Read • How large was the kingdom of Israel? • The Torah states that Israel was a large kingdom that ruled from Egypt to Mesopotamia and was ruled by the kings named Saul, David, and Solomon. In 1993, archaeologists discovered an inscription which dates about 840 B.C.E. that mentions a “House of David,” which supports the Torah’s claim. In addition, the Torah describes a construction project that Solomon undertook to erect gates in the Israelite towns. Archaeologists have found gates matching the description in three settlements and dated those gates in the 10th-century BCE. These two pieces of evidence suggest that the kingdom of Israel existed and that David and Solomon were rulers of it. • Other evidence though suggests that the kingdom was not nearly are large and powerful as the Hebrew Bible claims. Most of the Israelite settlements found in the Middle East were small communities, not large cities and not spread over as large an area as the books of the Torah suggest.
