What reading level is The book of Genesis With Introduction And Notes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E. Of all the booty (cf Heb. Vii. 4). The custom of paying tithes to a priesthood or sanctuary was widely diffused in antiquity. The later Heb. Law exacted tithe only on the produce of the soil, and on cattle : but among other nations it was exacted on many other sources of revenue ; among the Greeks, for instance, we read of tithe being paid on spoil taken in war, on gains made in trade, on confiscated property, &c. , not less than on the annual crops. The temples in Babylonia, at least in the... time of Nebuchadnezzar and his successors, were largely supported by eshru, or tithe (Sayce, Pair. Pal. 175). In his payment of tithe to the priest, not less than in his receiving the blessing from him, Abram becomes a pattern to the Israelites of a later day (cf on xxviii. 22).
21 — 24. Resumption of the narrative begun in v. 17, but inter- rupted by the episode described in vv. 18 — 20. Abram, as captor, would have a claim to the whole of the booty : tlie king of Sodom l^roposes a compromise.
