Abstract
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.
