ABSTRACT

Everything discovered so fa r is but the mere beginning from the hidden /genuzim/ treasures, in which the scroll o f lineage and sovereignty o f Israel over its land is folded. Aranne (1957: 100)

There is evidence, however, that at that time the question whether the presence o f such an animal might be tolerated in the house o f God was investigated from the point o f view o f the Law and the Commandments.
