Reviews
" This Festschrift, dedicated to Bustenay Oded, Professor Emeritus at the University of Haifa, contains 30 relatively short articles written by established scholars from all around the world. It is an excellent, although somewhat eclectic, collection of new studies on the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East that has its given place in any research library."
