Description: Article about the marriage regulations and arrangements portrayed in the Old Testament.
Hebrew Social Organization: Marriage Marriage regulations and arrangement portrayed in the Old Testament are significant both in the context of the society in which they were embedded and of social orders which later attempted to build moral systems upon biblical models. While ancient Israelites were faced with a formidable body of incest taboos in their choice of marriage partners, they also had to contend with a set of rules that specified who they wre supposed to marry, including two important institutions: the levirate and parallel cousin marriage. These institutions can be understood in the context of the dynamics of the patrilineal segmentary system, which played a central role in ancient Hebrew society.
