>before Abraham left, or were they patrilineal?
Patrilineal, in historical Sumerian records. Except for the children of
temple priestesses.
Another very interesting book (than the aforementioned one by Savina
Teubal) that looks at evidence of matrilineage in ancient Hebrew tradition
is David Bakan's _And They Took Themselves Wives_. It's from the late 80s,
I think.
