About this book

Three lectures given in June 1885 at a Summer School of Hebrew in Philadelphia grew into this study by H. Clay Trumbull, who also wrote Kadesh Barnea. His subject is the primitive rite of making a covenant by the exchange of blood, and what it may explain in the Bible. He traces the belief behind it, that blood is life and that sharing blood joins two natures, through travel accounts, histories and archaeological reports, and adds further facts in an appendix. The lecture form is kept, with later additions.
