When we think of a “tribal society” often we tend to think that it’s a primitive one. However, that isn’t always the case. The nation of Israel was a tribal society and they were far from being a primitive society as we’ll come to find out.

The tribes of Israel were led by chiefs, who were surrounded by elders. All of these men were under the leadership of Moses. This would make up the leadership for Israel. Although the Israelite tribes were not founded on these men, in reality the foundation that made up society was family. However, the nuclear family could be broken down even more into marriage. Marriage between one man and one woman. This is where the foundation of society for the Israelites would be built up from!   Welcome to the History of the Bible!   To give feedback on The History of the Bible click the link (https://forms.gle/AtzUReJ8gLuFYPaP8).

Up till this point in the journey from Egypt, Moses had been leading the Israelites through the Lord’s direction. However, not everyone was excited about it.
