Abstract
This account of the Israelite family—based primarily on biblical texts with some consideration of the archaeological record—covers the family and household organization, marriage, gender relations, family religion, and the ancestral cult. The author addresses the effect of state centralization on the family, highlighting the realignment of allegiance from the lineage to the state with its imposed burden of military service, forced labor, taxes, appropriation of land to reward state retainers, and division of territory into administrative districts.
