Abstract

This chapter examines the ethical aspect of human-animal relations in the pentateuchal narratives and historiographical writings (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles)—the creation stories, the account of the first generations, and the patriarchal narratives in Genesis, the Exodus, Balaam and his donkey, the Samson cycle, the return of the Ark from Philistia, the prophet from Bethel, etc.Although analyzed in light of their historical background, the texts are explored primarily from an ethical perspective, framed in the scholarly literature on human-animal ethics.
