This is a work for immigrants!: contributions on migration, gender, and work in the first testament

This assay presents a biblical approach that dialogue with migration, job and identity. It privileges a gender approach and African plus Caribbean perspective of biblical interpretation. The initial and final challenges are the Brazilian experience of migration in foreign countries also of foreign people in Brazil. The migrant, in servile condition, in poverty and marginalization, always do the job that the autochthon doesn't want to do. The Naaman servant (2 Kg 5, 1-27) and the Ethiopian eunuch, servant of Zedechias' palace (Jr 38,1-13), people without a name, were liberation instruments for those which were close through their jobs.
