Israel’s eyes on God when he was alive and he had strong faith in God. God gave Israel to the Midianites because they were not focusing their eyes on Him. They were under the Midianites’ rule for seven years before they were rescued by Gideon. The Israelites built shelters and homes in mountains because their fear of the Midianites was great.

AP WORLD STUDY GUIDE UNIT 1 Chapter 1 Before Civilization Around 10‚000 years ago‚ during the Neolithic Age‚ humans began to cultivate plants and to domesticate animals in various parts of the world.

Only You Knew What Really Happened Education has become essential for every adolescent to have before entering adulthood. It’s nice to learn information everyday‚ but when it isn’t true or adjusted to fit the European standards it makes the Hebrew Israelites look negative.
