Sefer Ruth: Archaeology
This video is part of the Sefer Study series.
This is an analysis of the Archaeology of the Sefer by Nachliel Selavan MA. Ed (www.museumtours.co.il) - more info below.
Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach.
Megillat Ruth is the background to the birth of David haMelekh - King David. It takes place in the period of time between Pesach to Shavuot - between the harvest of barley to the harvest of wheat, quite appropriately.
In terms of archaeology, this episode covers a few exciting topics, some of which have never been discussed before and some have, in a different context. Enjoy the episode, check out the show notes, and click that LIKE button.
