I'm looking especially for;
-types of foods that were common
-clothing descriptions
- ways of earning a livelihood
- types of homes (building materials, size etc.)



I'd really appreciate it if you had any information whatsoever.

I can't tell you much about what they wore, but since semitic people have traditionally been herders, I'd say things made from wool.
Food - wheat,fish and lamb.
Building materials, Israel has very few trees and homes are made mainly from stone and mud bricks.
Livelihoods? Erm...Whatever is needed to make a cohesive society: Farmers, herders, builders, potters, carpenters, scribes, priests, bakers, administrators, fishermen, shipwrights, soldiers etc etc



But answer me this: how can a story end happily if there is no love?
