Ancient Hebrew World
What could this word mean in its own time and place?
The intended experience
Encounter a word within the world that gave it meaning: its textual surroundings, material life and interpretive questions. Follow the evidence into a study whose connections you can examine and make your own.
An illustrated moment
You begin with a single word, which can mean both “word” and “thing”. From there you open a storage jar from the same world, the kind of hill town where such things were used, and a question scholars still debate. Next time, your study is waiting where you left it.
The word: דבר (davar)
