This is true in a good deal of biblical historiography. However, as emphasized in the first major part of this book, leadership within the family is important in the Hebrew Bible."

"Talk about democracy, and human brotherhood and the protection of the weak, it will all result in sheer hypocrisy, in what St. Paul calls a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal, unless we apply those principles here at home." James Weldon Johnson, from "Africa at the Peace Table and the Descendants of Africans in Our American Democracy" p.23, Africa in the world democracy : addresses delivered at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, January 6, 1919, at Carnegie Hall, New York City https://commons.ptsem.edu/id/africainworld00nati
