Leeb\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the biblical narrative and on social world analysis, Leeb argues that the terms NA'AR and NA'ARAH refer to persons displaced from the father's house (BET 'AB), usually as a result of debt slavery. Hence, rather than working his father's land, and becoming in turn the head of his own household, the NA'AR, as a domestic or military servant, helps build the household of another. Less frequently, the weakness or absence of the father leads to the same, or a similar, predicament. Any woman venturing from her own household is also likely to acquire the status of a NA'ARAH. This is a novel and challenging study in ancient Israelite social structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781841271057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Sheffield Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40597301592270,"sku":"9781841271057","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781841271057","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
