The First Social Contract (The Ancient Tribe of Levi a Tribe of the Nation of Israel, from the Third Son of the Patriarch Jacob, Son of Isaac, Son of Avraham Birth, Activities and Rebirth)

Mordechai Ben-Menachem and Kolel Bnei Rahel

This article is a brief study of a sociological structure that is not well known, though ‘everyone’ knows of it. The tribal structure of the Israelite nation upon inception is a well-known Biblical story, but its ramifications have not been studied systematically, nor published in the professional literature. Yet, these structures lasted for nearly two millennia; so, they are clearly one of the most successful social structures in human history! The issue is not ‘just’ historical, as many of its ramifications are felt today, in all our daily lives and the ramifications can be applicable to many real-life situations in the world of today. This article provides a very brief discussion of social aspects of this structure.
