AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study draws heavily on the nineteenth and twentieth century ethnography of the Middle East to understand gender roles and relations in Ancient Israel, a direct historical approached deemed valid because biblical and late modern families in the region were endogamous, patrilineal, patriarchal, patrilocal, extended and polygynous.
