What reading level is Early Hebrew Story Its Historical Background book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I fancy that the underlying matter f 2 54 Early Hebrew Story that section of the sixth chapter of Genesis which describes the union of men with beings of the spirit world, from which resulted these mysterious nephilim, is at least akin to the Sumerian teaching of the possibility of the union of man with demons and spirits. Out of such a union came strange, weird creatures, the same conception which we have in the later Jewish story of the union of Adam and Lilith, or in those rabbinic tales, ac...cord- ing to which men secretly took demon wives and had children by them, and at their death-beds were claimed by those half demon, spirit children, who then, and then only, made themselves manifest. But while in general Hebrew mythology and demonology are dependent upon Babylonian and early Sumerian demonology, and for that reason one is inclined to suspect a general connection in the case of all such tales, it must be said that there is no evidence in the peculiar form of this present fragment or in the words used in it of such connection.
