EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases one of the intriguing idols of Bible Times 2, featuring the enigmatic deity Nibhaz, a god worshipped by the Avites, an ancient people settled in Samaria by the King of Assyria around 722 BCE (Second Kings 17:31). The Avites, who hailed from the northern regions of Palestine, brought with them their unique pagan beliefs and practices, which significantly influenced the religious landscape of the region. Nibhaz, depicted in this print as a human figure with the head of a dog, was one of their primary gods. The canine head is believed to symbolize the god's protective and guardian roles. The Avites sought Nibhaz's guidance and protection in various aspects of their lives, including agriculture, fertility, and war. The historical context of this image is crucial to understanding the rich tapestry of religious beliefs and practices that existed during the ancient world. The Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel led to the displacement of its inhabitants and the resettlement of various ethnic groups, including the Avites, who brought their diverse religious traditions to the region. This print offers a glimpse into the complex religious history of the Bible Times, showcasing the syncretistic nature of ancient religions and the enduring influence of the past on contemporary beliefs. The image serves as a testament to the intriguing and often enigmatic nature of the gods and goddesses of the Bible Times, and the profound impact they continue to have on our understanding of the ancient world.
