Seems to have been excellent common-sensical rules to unite warring tribes 
fourteen centuries ago, but not in accordance with tenets of equality and 
democracy in the twenty-first century.
 
On the subject of modernization, is it interesting to note the ties of language 
to religion.
 Muslims the world over, except perhaps in pockets like Indonesia, have Arabic 
names and need to resort to plenty of Arabic to discuss Islam.
All Christians don't have Hebrew or Aramaic names, and those converted to it 
usually add an "English" name to their existing names. To discuss Christianity, 
it is hardly required to speak Hebrew.
