Ancient Israel - Lecture 19 - Overview of the Period of the Judges - Appendix 4 - 1986-1987

Richard H Paige

Today is the period of the Judges an Overview, first of all we need to take a look at the term "the period of the Judges", this describes briefly the period from Joshua's death until the anointing of the first King, King Saul and the reason why we usually call it or writers usually refer to this period, by this particular name is because the leading figures in this period of time are called, at least in our English translation, Judges and since these are the leading figures this is the term we usual describe this period. Another name that would be very accurate for describing this particular period would be the term, the tribal period. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
