The family structure in the Bible was extremely important. Extended families were large and tied to the land. What did this mean for people during this time? What laws protected the family and their tie to the land? In this episode of Bible Backdrop, I look at the family structures and how this affected people during this time. I also look at how the establishment of the monarchy changed this dynamic. 

Bible Backdrop looks at the history and culture surrounding the Bible. If you are enjoying this podcast, please put in a 5-star rating and review. If you wish to contact the show, you can do so by the e-mail in the episode.
