| Sumario: | According to the Bible, Hebrews were in contact with Tarshish (or Tartessus, in present day Andalucía, Spain) since the time of King Solomon in the 10th century B.C. In the 8th and 6th centuries B.C., Hebrews were deported from the Levant by Assyrians, Babylonians and Tyrians, and many were enslaved in Phoenician-controlled iron mines in Africa (Mogador) and southern Spain. Around the middle of the first millennium B.C., for the first and only time in the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Obadiah (Abdias), verse 1:20 documented the name Sefarad (also written as Sfarad, Spharad or Sepharad). Obadiah’s verse includes an historic message, and a rationale that links the name Sefarad with Spain. The word Sefarad is also connected to Greek mythology and a specific geography. |
