1 | Context of Joseph Story? | Gen 47:19 | Just Read Mark | 135796 | ||
Slavery and Citizenship. I remember reading in a course in "The History of Women" that a form of "slavery" was one of the most progressive features of Egyptian society. All citizen's were required to do periodic hard labour --- and this included men and women. The end result of this was (not only magnificent building programs, but...) a high status for women in the society. They enjoyed both the responsibilities and benefits of citizenship. Could this universal slavery/citizenship date from the time of Joseph? That course was 10 years ago, and vague in my mind --- does anyone know this historical context might fit with the story? |

From what I understand, current thought is that the pyramids, etc., were built by a specialized task force. They were skilled workers that were fully supported for their efforts by Pharaoh. This has come to light with the recent discovery of the pyramid builders' community outside of Cairo. (Neither scripture nor archaeology support the Masonic take on history.) | ||||||
