Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the earliest days of human history and offers an intriguing look at the history and status of workers in ancient Israel. The author departs from many traditional assumptions to reveal that Hebrew law was characterized by a deep aversion to slavery, that forced labor was a temporary measure imposed on non-Hebrews, and that in practice, there was little difference between free and unfree Israelites. The author also notes that the concept of human equality and brotherhood that is central to Western democratic ideals first evolved within ancient Israelâs borders. This book emphasizes the continuity of human experience and offers fresh insights into a society and period that have long fascinated historians.
