"God’s Word is an Eastern Book.

It was written in the East, by Easterners and for Easterners.

It is therefore obvious that a study of that Land, its life and habits, furniture and dress, language and expressions – in short, everything connected with the Land and People – will throw a flood of light on many passages of Scripture." See the excerpt from Palestine and the Bible by Samuel Schor.An extensive bibliography of both new and out of print books on Biblical customs.
