Israelite society

Israelite society was primarily organized around a communal, tribal structure centered on the worship of Yahweh. It included various clans and families, with leaders like judges and kings. Agriculture was the main livelihood, with social responsibilities and religious practices deeply intertwined. Laws from the Torah governed daily life, emphasizing justice, charity, and community welfare. Society valued obedience to religious commandments and collective identity, fostering a sense of covenant with God. Despite social hierarchies, Israelites prioritized communal cohesion, faith, and adherence to divine law as guiding principles of their societal fabric.
