Abstract

This essay aims to present aspects of the culture of Yiśrā’ēl’s northern Kingdom, in whose accent the interactions in the religious field enables us to apprehend the materials connections operated by the Royal Court. Our hypothesis is that religion is the uniting element of social magnitudes Canaanites; its peculiarities fulfill the task of highlighting identities. In this complex context of Semitic cultural interactions in the 9th century BC., the annals of Hebrew Bible reveal a crisis around the politics and culture in Yiśrā’ēl.
