Book
A strange and true relation of several wonderful and miraculous sights seen in the air in February last, and this present March 1661. : A clear sun shining in the east at midnight, with several rayes or beams, upon each of which hung the skeliton of a dead man, link'd together with serpents, and many Turkes and Greek and Hebrew letters ... Also three ships appeared at noon-day sailing on dry land, as on the water out of which came men with swords and spades, and armed soldiers, hacking and hewing as they went ... Likewise a great storm of haile blood-red, being so hard that puting it into the fire it could not be melted, but so soon as put in the water it turned it to blood. ... A woman appeared three several daies crying, repent, repent, the last day is at the dore. And a child in a white shirt appeared early in the morning to a watchman commanding him to say, beloved Christians the last day is not far off. This is confirmed by two posts and several gentlemen of quality. Likewise a true and exact description of a monstrous gyant lately discovered in Darbyshire ... shown to many persons of quality in and about the City ...

Abstract

In The Rephaim: Sons of the Gods , Jonathan Yogev provides a new theory regarding the mysterious characters, known as "Rephaim," in Biblical and ancient Near Eastern literature. The Rephaim are associated with concepts such as death and the afterlife, divinity, healing, giants and monarchy among others. They appear in Ugaritic, Phoenician and Biblical texts, yet it is difficult to pinpoint their exact function and meaning. This study offers a different perspective, along with full texts, detailed epigraphic analysis and commentary for all of the texts that mention the Rephaim, in order to determine their specific importance in societies of the ancient Levant.
