Document Details : Title: The Levites, *ra-wo, λαός / λαοί Subtitle: A New Proposal for Lexical and Historical Relationship Author(s): NIESIOŁOWSKI-SPANÒ, Łukasz Journal: Biblica Volume: 101 Issue: 3 Date: 2020 Pages: 444-452 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.101.3.3288731 Abstract : The hypothesised relations between Mycenaean Greece and the Near East, especially Canaan in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, have led some scholars to propose Greek etymologies for a number of terms attested in the Hebrew Bible. This raises the question about possible vehicles for such cultural interrelations. To this end, this article advances the hypothesis that the Levites, a group featured in the biblical tradition, may have originated in the group that referred to itself in Greek as *ra-wo / λαοί. |
