Overview

Excerpt from The Social Life, of the Hebrews The designation of the period of Hebrew life which is considered in this part Of the present work is not as easy as it at first thought seems, for the term here employed, the usual one, is misleading, though per haps not as misleading to many as some other might be. The time covered is from the settlement of Canaan to the monarchy. This was a period when the Hebrews for the most part were wanting in unity, when the clans grouped themselves in certain parts of Canaan, revealing in some instances their kinship, as in the case of the Leah and Rachel clans. If there had been something akin to national life prior to the settlement, during their nomadic wanderings, it must have grown very largely out of the circumstances of that life. When they entered Canaan, as there will be an endeavour to Show later, they went up in groups to their various allotments or destinations and es tablished themselves as best they could. Later, on rare occasions, clan aided clan, and on occasions rarer still, group or tribe aided some clan in extremity. Not apparently until near the close Of this period.
