📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Judges, which describes the period after Joshua's death when the Israelites were conquering and settling the Promised Land, the tribe of Joseph attacked the city of Bethel as part of their efforts to drive out the Canaanites. A man from the city revealed the entrance to the Israelite forces, enabling them to capture it swiftly and destroy it with the sword. However, they spared the man and his family, likely as an act of mercy or in recognition of his cooperation, reflecting the selective judgments often seen in Israel's conquest narratives.
