Just a clarification question:

Are you referring to life in the Southern Levant prior to the emergence of a kingdom of Israel (before about the 10th century BCE), life in the kingdom of Israel (and Judah) prior to the existence of what can be definitively considered Judaism (~10th-century until ~3rd century BCE [recognizable Judaism didn’t really emerge until the later parts of the 1st millennium BCE but the religion described in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is often conflated with Judaism]), or are you referring to Palestine prior to the creation of the state of Israel in the middle of the 20th century CE?
