Biblical Nuggets: Ancient Israelite House

For more than 600 years – circa 1500 BC – 500 BC – nearly all Israelite houses were built with the same distinctive layout. While surrounding cultures used other house plans, the Israelites even used this one for wealthy homes and public buildings. Its usage disappeared during the Babylonian exile [1].
