The article reads:
"Note that the town of Jericho is what is “destroyed” instead of men, women, and children (Joshua 6:21). Where is that in the count of 52 times that Hebrews are commanded to be “fair” to foreigners?"
Dr. Avalos, maybe I'm misunderstanding the text. Joshua 6:21 reads: "Under the ban, they destroyed everything in the city; they put everyone to the sword, men and women, young and old, and also cattle, sheep and asses." I agree with your hypothesis, but your text above doesn't seem to support it unless I'm missing something. Jericho and all its people and domestic animals are destroyed.
Here's a proof for your position:
Pronatalism and strict endogamy in the pursuit of intelligence increase the numbers and strength of the community practicing them but also cause social unrest, revolution and war if you are sojourning in a host nation. See Exodus 1:7-10,
Here's another:
The second creation of man and woman in Genesis is also a good proof for your colonialist and patriarchal characterization.
Woman has to be subjugated in order to pressure her to continuous childbirth to satisfy the demands of the Abrahamic covenant.
Deuteronomy 20:16-18 reads: "In the cities of these nations whose land the Lord your God is giving you as a patrimony you shall not leave any creature alive. You shall annihilate them."
Ezra 9 (entire chapter) only verses 12-13 are included here
“Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons, and do not marry your sons to their daughters, and never seek their welfare or prosperity. Thus, you will be strong and enjoy the good things of the land and pass it on to your children as an everlasting possession.
Nehemiah 13:23-31
“I argued with them and reviled them, I beat them and tore out their hair; and I made them swear in the name of God: “We will not marry our daughters to their sons or take any of their daughters in marriage for our sons or for ourselves.”
