This is a placeholder for now but I intend to make this topic a sequence of investigations on who/what/where for various tribes (mostly non-Israelite) mentioned in the Bible, such as the Amalekites, Kenites, Midianites, Jebusites, Meunites, and all the other '-ites' ;) , the Philistines, and larger nations/peoples such as the Aramaeans, Amorites, Phoenicians, Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites. Posting some bible maps of regions & territories of these tribes may also be in order and useful for picturing their distribution and location.

Goal: I find that better understanding the surrounding peoples around Israel helps us to better understand the Old Testament when we read it and with conceptualizing their roles and actions in their proper historical context. The goal is to help raise awareness of who the various ancient tribes and peoples around Israel were and where they fit in with the Biblical stories. With any luck this goal will be reached.

Also this should not be just me posting studies, I encourage other points of view and input, as well as questions. Perhaps together we will learn something we never knew before.

God Bless,

~Josh
