    What was their literacy rate? Bible or some precursor therein, wouldn’t have done the average person much good I’d think.

    Anywho, you go back to the wandering Israelites, and I’d think those priests would’ve had some book or scroll with instructions for all the rituals they were into.

    All this, of course, assuming there is any historical basis for any of it existing in the first place.
