Family Law and Everyday Life in the Bible and Ancient Near East: Part II 

Bloodlines, Repudiation, Childbirth, Adoption, Sibling Rivalry, Death, Burial and Mourning, Heirs and Successors  
 

This course explores further aspects of family relationships in biblical Israel, and what we know of life and death in ancient Sumer, Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt. Learn what the biblical laws governing divorce, childbirth, adoption, sibling rivalry, death, burial and mourning, heirs and succession owe to the laws of the Hittites, and to ancient Sumer, Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt. Read the biblical narratives that support — or violate — these legal frameworks and fire up your imagination about life in the ancient world.
