Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nature of that role is that you are going to get the snot beat out of you.
