A história de todos nós: crimes que podem ser esquecidos: a escravidão: o livro gênesis

Resumen

Referring to the title above, the purpose of the article is to demonstrate that crimes have existed since the creation of Humanity, as seen in biblical narratives annotated and printed in the sacred Pentateuch of the Hebrew Torah. In the Book of Genesis, the story of the brothers Cain and Abel; one of them, Abel, is murdered by the other, out of control, out of envy. With all the guidance of God in his favour, Noah, after the Flood, loses control in the drink of wine, exceeding himself, causing him to feel comfortable with nakedness. The youngest son, Cam, watched the embarrassment; however, instead of covering it, he prefers to call the brothers to enjoy the disconcerting scene at the time. Aware of the incident, Noah curses Cam and his son’s entire family, including his grandson Canaã. Escaping the curse, Cam’s family goes to Africa, where they remain a slave until the end of time. Among other episodes, the sale of Joseph, as a slave, by the brothers themselves, dominated by Joseph’s envy and preference for his father, the legendary Jacob, later on by Order of God, comes to be called Israel. Moses, Author of the Law, the Torah, guided by God, released his people from slaver and led them towards the Promised Land. Exactly in this summary the main agenda: slavery. The continuity of this crime is verified with astonishment in the medieval period in successive sad scenarios, in which men with black skin colour are forced from their African lands as slaves. And long story happens; so that it will never be forgotten!
