Abstract

In this first chapter Carol Meyers examines carefully the archaeological and textual evidence, as well as ethnographic data, for women’s participation in ancient Israel’s rituals. She explores the different religious activities, e.g., temple sacrifices, funerary rituals, and household offerings, that ensured the sustenance, prosperity, and continuity of the Israelites. In so doing Meyers presents new insights into women’s roles in this period.
