Prolegomena To The History Of Israel is a book written by Julius Wellhausen, a German biblical scholar and orientalist. The book is a critical analysis of the history of Israel, focusing on the origins and development of the Hebrew Bible. Wellhausen argues that the biblical texts are not a reliable historical record, but rather a collection of myths and legends that were written down centuries after the events they describe. He also examines the social and political context in which the texts were written, and argues that they reflect the values and beliefs of the societies that produced them. The book is considered a landmark in the field of biblical studies, and has had a significant impact on the way scholars approach the study of the Bible.Of the offerings, it was the custom in the earlier time to dedicate a portion to the deity but to use the greater part in sacred feasts, at which a priest, if present, was of course allowed also in one way or another to participate. But he does not appear to have had a legal claim to any definite dues of flesh. Eli's sons were worthless persons, and cared not about Jehovah, or about the priests'right and duty with the people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
