I’d like to know what Israel in the time of Judges was like to live in. Kinda appeals to me.
“I’d like to know what Israel in the time of Judges was like to live in. Kinda appeals to me.”
no running water or even pipes, not enough metal to hollow out logs for pipes like was done in Philladelphia way back when..., hauling water in skins or worse, washing clothes in running water or wood barrels if you were lucky, little or no real soap, cooking over open fires in vessels made from poorly fired clay or worse, metal so rare and expensive that little or nothing is made from it, cloth so expensive and time consuming that you own one or possibly 2 changes of clothes and that one suit took your mother years to manufacture, you probably never travel more than 45 miles from where you were born.
Add to these irritations the lack of the rule of law, tribal warfare, raiding parties, wild animals, and most of the “horrors” of any 3rd world country today.
Some people talk about how hard it is to homestead today with water and metals and plastics and washing machines and medicines and improved crops and animals... Most of us would not live past our 20’s.
