In chapter 3 we will develop a synthesis between these two structures and propose a reasoned approach as to why they similarly enjoyed a limited lifespan. We will also show how the ancient enslavement of the Jews, by the Egyptians, influenced Greco-Roman, medieval, and modern structures of African Slavery in the new world.
This current research does not take into account enslavements of Africans by Africans in Africa, a practice that has been well documented and that reflects similar practices in native peoples, ancient and modern, on several continents and that can be traced, even, to the practices of Native American Peoples as recently as the early 1800's.

GLOSSARY.
TANAKH: An acronym for the cannon of the Jewish Bible and that book which Christians call the Old Testament. It is derived from the names of the three divisions that Jews recognize as comprising the entire bible. Those divisions are, (transliterated into English), Torah, (also called the Pentateuch by non-Jews), Nevi'im, (the Prophets), and Kethuvim, (The writings, or historical books). For a complete listing of all of the books in the Tanakh please refer to appendix A.
Israel: The name given by G-d to Jacob after his all night wrestling match with an angle, also, the name given to his descendants the Jewish People, and the modern day nation of Israel.
