📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Jacob had fled from his father-in-law Laban after working for him for many years, and Rachel, Jacob's wife, had stolen Laban's household idols as they escaped. When Laban pursued and searched their belongings, Rachel hid the idols under her saddle and used the cultural taboo of her menstrual period as an excuse not to stand up, reflecting ancient Near Eastern customs where women were considered ritually unclean during that time. This event highlights the patriarchal society's emphasis on family idols and purity laws.
