View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the role of the ancient historical and cultural contexts in the modern interpretation of biblical narratives, and it compares these narratives to modern historical period dramas. Several aspects of the account of Moab’s subjugation of Israel in Judges 3 are examined, including the geographic and cultural connections between Judah and Moab, the importance of tribute in the ancient world as a way for polities to relate, the ways in which the narrator of Judges puts the account into a larger historical and theological storyline, and how it serves broadly as background material for the setting of the book of Ruth.
