From Gods to God: How the Bible Debunked, Suppressed, or Changed Ancient Myths and LegendsThe ancient Israelites believed things that the writers of the Bible wanted them to forget: myths and legends from a pre biblical world that the new monotheist order needed to bury, hide, or reinterpret. Ancient Israel was rich in such literary traditions before the Bible reached the final form that we have today. These traditions were not lost but continued, passed down through the ages. Many managed to reach us in post biblical sources: rabbinic

The ancient Israelites believed things that the writers of the Bible wanted them to forget: myths and legends from a pre-biblical world that the new monotheist order needed to bury, hide, or reinterpret. Ancient Israel was rich in such literary traditions before the Bible reached the final form that we have today. These traditions were not lost but continued, passed down through the ages. Many managed to reach us in post-biblical sources: rabbinic literature, Jewish Hellenistic writings, the writings of the Dead Sea sect, the Aramaic, Greek, Latin, and other ancient translations of the Bible, and even outside the ancient Jewish world in Christian and Islamic texts. The Bible itself sometimes alludes to these traditions, often in surprising contexts. Written in clear and accessible language, this volume presents thirty such traditions. It voyages behind the veil of the written Bible to reconstruct what was told and retold among the ancient Israelites, even if it is "not what the Bible tells us."

GREAT suit for the price.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Amazing suit. Ordered an XL for my husband when we got it. Pants were very long and a little big on the waist, so we took them to get tailored for a more fitted look. I don’t like that the “pocket square” is sewn in but, it can be tucked down, so we did that and added our own that matched the tie we ordered separately. Overall, good quality for the price. We have not washed but we do take it to the dry cleaners.

Quality vs Representation
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
Please check clothing due to finding the blazer a bit dirty as if someone wore it with Cat hair and dust along with a dead bug and smelling a fishy smell. We ordered in advance to take it to the dry cleaners for additional wash before using. Quality is great material; tie not included be sure to measure before purchasing to avoid any tailoring.

Earned its 5 stars!
Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Small
My husband has a thin frame and struggles to find dress clothes that fit well without breaking the bank. Since the size measurements were very detailed, we decided to take the gamble and hope for the best. This is genuinely the best fitting suit he has ever owned. It looks custom tailored. The material is great quality and the price point is even better. We suggested this suit to our groomsmen and were delighted to see it well accommodated a variety of body types. My husband loved his suit so much we bought him one in another color and had great success with that order as well. HIGHLY recommend this suit set!

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!
Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2, Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2
I love this set! It came with everything included shirt, vest, pants, tie, and bow tie which made it a fantastic value. I bought it for my grandson, who is a tall 3-year-old (3’9 and 41lbs), so I usually size up and got a size 4. It fit him perfectly! The quality is excellent well made with great fabric not a stretchy material and it looked absolutely adorable on him. I would definitely buy this again. Great price for what you get!
