- This is the inaugural volume of a new series marking the centenary of the Society for Old Testament Study. It departs from traditional scholarship by analysing ethnographic studies of the spectrum of behaviours occurring within ‘marriage by capture’ and applying this research heuristically to Judges 21. Sustained effort was required in research to fully immerse in, draw data together for, and conduct an extended analysis of ethnographic work on marriage by capture and a significant range of primary evidence (Biblical Texts, Elephantine, Ancient Near Eastern Law Codes) in various ancient languages (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic) concerning marriage laws and rape.
