Synopsis

A vivid look at how families and homes shaped Hebrew life, from marriage to daily routines.

This edition draws on detailed study of the Hebrew home, its norms, and its influence on society. It surveys family structure, marriage customs, and the roles of husbands, wives, and children while tracing how home life connects to law, religion, and everyday work.

• How homes were built and organized, including rooms, courtyards, and daily routines.


• Ways marriage, kinship, and property shaped family life and social duties.


• The status of women, concubines, and the shift from polygamy toward monogamy over time.


• Its picture of hospitality, education, and the values that guided upbringing and community norms.

Ideal for readers of biblical history and social history who want a concrete, grounded view of the everyday world behind the ancient Hebrew stories.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The designation of the period of Hebrew life which is considered in this part of the present work is not as easy as it at first thought seems, for the term here employed, the usual one, is misleading, though perhaps not as misleading to many as some other might be. The time covered is from the settlement of Canaan to the monarchy. This was a period when the Hebrews for the most part were wanting in unity, when the clans grouped themselves in certain parts of Canaan, revealing in some instances their kinship, as in the case of theL eah and Bachel clans. If there had been something akin to national life prior to the settlement, during their nomadic wanderings, it must have grown very largely out of the circumstances of that life. When they entered Canaan, as there will be an endeavour to show later, they went up in groups to their various allotments or destinations and established themselves as best they could. Later, on rare occasions, clan aided clan, and on occasions rarer still, group or tribe aided some clan in extremity.
