[No title] The Beth Shan strata are particularly helpful in illustrating the continuity with the Bronze Age in Iron I. The same probably can be said for the Sa'idiyeh cemetery. Beth Shemesh, however, shows the discontinuity with the Late Bronze Age given its somewhat intrusive Aegean evidence usually associated with the Philistines. Beth Shan remained an Egyptian colony with houses built according to Egyptian style, complete with door lintel inscriptions in hieroglyphics. www.bu.edu /anep/Ir.html   (9191 words)

Beth-Shemesh - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia But the worship of the sun was so common and cities of this name so many in number that it would be hazardous to conclude with any assurance that because these three names refer to the same region they therefore refer to the same place. In the description of the tribal limits, it is said of Issachar (Joshua 19:22), "And the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan." The description indicates that Beth- shemesh was in the eastern part of Issachar's territory.

The Pennsylvania Gazette: The Bible's People The period introduced the idea of a temple as the house of a deity, and there is a feature on Solomon's Temple and evidence of competing religions.

Why did God kill people who touched the Ark? But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. Since God's presence was on/over the ark, they were actually coming into the presence of God - and without the least sense of reverence towards him, since they decided to poke around and play with his throne! Some translations, including the NKJV, have the number of deaths as 50,070, and a footnote in the NIV says that most Hebrew manuscripts have 50,070 instead of 70. www.rationalchristianity.net /touch_ark.html   (705 words)
