Want more proof that Torah calls for Anarchism?
Four times in the Book of Judges we are told that "there was no king in Israel in those days" (Judges 17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25).
Judges 17:6 is usually rendered in English thus : "In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
But that is not what the Hebrew says. It says:
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם, אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל: אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו, יַעֲשֶׂה
Which means: In those days there was no king in Israel. The people were honest and as one, doing what is right in His eyes.
