This volume examines how gender relations were regulated in ancient
Near Eastern and biblical law. The textual corpus examined includes
the various pertinent law collections, royal decrees and
instructions from Mesopotamia and Hatti, and the three biblical
legal collections. Peled explores issues beginning with the wide
societal perspective of gender equality and inequality, continues
to the institutional perspective of economy, palace and temple, the
family, and lastly, sex crimes. All the texts mentioned or referred
to in the book are given in an appendix, both in the original
languages and in English translation, allowing scholars to access
the primary sources for themselves. Law and Gender in the Ancient
Near East and the Hebrew Bible offers an invaluable resource for
anyone working on Near Eastern society and culture, and gender in
the ancient world more broadly.
