It begins with the social background to debt slavery and the socioeconomic factors encouraging the rise of debt slavery in Mesopotamia. After a comparative analysis of the Mesopotamian and biblical material Chirichigno examines the social background to debt slavery in Israel, the various slave laws in the Pentateuch (in order to delimit the chattel-slave laws from the debt-slave laws), and the biblical manumission laws themselves.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;141.SlaveryLaw and legislationJewsHistorySlavery in the BibleSlaveryLaw and legislationIraqDebtIsraelHistoryDebtMiddle EastHistorySlaveryIsraelHistorySlaveryMiddle EastHistorySlaveryLaw and legislationJewsHistory.Slavery in the Bible.SlaveryLaw and legislationDebtHistory.DebtHistory.SlaveryHistory.SlaveryHistory.221.9Chirichigno Gregory1952-639820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822056403321Debt slavery in Israel and the ancient Near East4121459UNINA
