Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex world of ancient Jewish law as laid out by Moses, examining the legal and social implications of these laws for the Israelites. The author delves into specific areas of private law, particularly those concerning marriage and family life. The book's focus on polygamy stands out as a particularly fascinating discussion, considering its broader historical context. The author argues that although polygamy was permitted, Moses aimed to limit its impact and, in fact, the practice gradually declined over time. The book also tackles intricate issues such as marriage between close relatives, the roles of slaves and servants, and the responsibility of the blood avenger. The author's deep analysis of these topics highlights the intricate balance between social custom, religious dictates, and legal interpretation within the context of ancient Jewish society. This book offers a rich exploration of ancient Jewish legal thought and provides a unique lens for understanding the social dynamics of a bygone era.
