What reading level is The Text of the Old Testament book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their successors were the kings of Isin, under the last of whom the Western Semites succeeded in establishing a Semitic dynasty, after which the racial character of Babylonia became predominantly Semitic. The son and successor of the king who put an end to the dynasty of Isin was Hammurabi, the Amraphel of Genesis.
The date of Abraham is given by ch. Xiv of Genesis. Abraham was contemporary with Hammurabi. He left a country the literary language of which was Babylonian cuneiform, written on cla...y tablets. He probably had his religious books, which he took with him. He may have had in his retinue a man who could write and who kept records of his master's dealings with his neighbours. The difference between written literary language and spoken dialects has to be considered. Coming from Haran Abraham spoke a Semitic dialect which differed but little from the dialect or dialects of Palestine. The literary language of Canaan was Babylonian cunei- form as in the whole of Western Asia ; we know it from the tablets of Tel el Amarna and from the discoveries at Boghazkeui.
