Building 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.
