Missionaries generally understand that mankind is fundamentally the same. Don Richardson (1935- ) is a Canadian Christian missionary, teacher, author and international speaker who worked among the tribal people of Western New Guinea, Indonesia. He argues in his writings that, hidden among tribal cultures, there are usually some practices or understandings, which he calls "redemptive analogies", which can be used to illustrate the meaning of the Christian Gospel, contextualizing the biblical representation of the incarnation of Jesus.

 ****The Silk Routes (collectively known as the 'Silk Road') were important paths for cultural, commercial and technological exchange between traders, merchants, pilgrims, missionaries, soldiers, nomads and urban dwellers from Ancient China, Ancient India, Persia and Mediterranean countries for almost 3,000 years. Extending over 7,000 miles, the routes enabled people to transport goods, especially luxuries such as slaves, silk, satin and other fine fabrics, musk, other perfumes, spices, medicines, jewels, glassware and even rhubarb, as well as serving as a conduit for the spread of knowledge, ideas, cultures and diseases between different parts of the world (Ancient China, Ancient India, Asia Minor and the Mediterranean). Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of India, China, Egypt, Persia, Arabia and Rome, and in several respects helped lay the foundations for the modern world. Later, Christianity (following Jewish merchants and others) spread East into China by 300 AD before it spread North into Europe, not reaching Scandinavia until 1000 AD.
 Hammurabi (died c. 1750 BC) was the sixth king of Babylon from 1792 BC to 1750 BC middle chronology (1728 BC – 1686 BC short chronology). Although his empire controlled all of Mesopotamia at the time of his death, his successors were unable to maintain his empire. It has been said that Hammurabi was Amraphel, the King of Shinar in the Book of Genesis 14:1. Hammurabi is known for the set of laws called Hammurabi's Code, one of the first written codes of law in recorded history. They were found in Persia in 1901. Owing to his reputation in modern times as an ancient law-giver, Hammurabi's portrait is in many government buildings throughout the world. The similarities between Hammurabi and Moses are often compared.
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian law code, dating back to about 1772 BC. The Code consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man. Nearly one-half of the Code deals with matters of contract, establishing, for example, the wages to be paid to an ox driver or a surgeon. Other provisions set the terms of a transaction, establishing the liability of a builder for a house that collapses, for example, or property that is damaged while left in the care of another. A third of the code addresses issues concerning household and family relationships such as inheritance, divorce, paternity and sexual behavior. Only one provision appears to impose obligations on an official; this provision establishes that a judge who reaches an incorrect decision is to be fined and removed from the bench permanently. A handful of provisions address issues related to military service.  The Near East during the time of the Babylonian Empire and the Invasion of the two Egypts by the Hyksos 1750 BC.
 ****Habiru was the name given by various Sumerian, Egyptian, Akkadian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Ugaritic sources (dated, roughly, from before 2000 BC to around 1200 BC) to a group of people living as nomadic invaders in areas of the Fertile Crescent from Northeastern Mesopotamia and Iran to the borders of Egypt in Canaan. Depending on the source and epoch, these Habiru are variously described as nomadic or semi-nomadic, rebels, outlaws, raiders, mercenaries, and bowmen, servants, slaves, migrant laborers, etc. This term is considered most likely the same as the Hebrews.
Hebrew means “across the river”. Sa.gaz means cutthroat or destroyer. The Egyptians called them: “the cutthroat bandits from across the river...” Isaiah 1:23: “Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves (habiru).” Hosea 6:9: “As marauders (habiru) lie in ambush for a victim, so do bands of priests…” In his “History of the Jews” Jew Kastein identifies many of the great names in Jewish history as bandits.
