The Tanakh, additions and commentaries to it determine the direction of modern international humanitarian law, ways of forming state administration, lay the foundations of a system of checks and balances, a system of separation of powers, contain the foundations of the contractual theory of the origin of the state by concluding an agreement between the people and the king. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ancient texts of the Hebrew Bible and update the obtained data in modern political and managerial relations. Some texts of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), authoritative commentaries on them and the results of research by domestic and foreign scientists were used as materials for the study. The research methods were comparison, analysis of documents, and the system method. The conducted research concluded that doubts about the historicity and practical reliability of the texts of the Hebrew Bible are not able to affect the indisputable value of the material contained in it. Even if the events described have never taken place in history, the views expressed in the Bible themselves should be recognized as far ahead of their time and of value for modern political science. The Hebrew Bible defines the representative of the autocratic power (the king) as “the first among equals”. This applies to rights, duties, and responsibilities. It is this postulate that should be embedded in the modern political and managerial system, in which there is always a manager and performers. And only continuous work (primarily on oneself), self-improvement, as the Hebrew Bible bequeathed, should become the criterion for selecting a leader, and not any preferences.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Актуальность проведенного исследования заключается в том, что древние тексты Еврейской Библии во многом предвосхитили политико-правовые достижения последних столетий. Танах, дополнения и комментарии к нему определяют направление современного международного гуманитарного права, способы формирования государственного управления, закладывают основы системы сдержек и противовесов, системы разделения властей, содержат в себе основы договорной теории происхождения государства путем заключения соглашения между народом и царем. Цель настоящего исследования состоит в анализе древних текстов Еврейской Библии и актуализации полученных данных в современных политико-управленческих отношениях. В качестве материалов для исследования были использованы некоторые тексты Еврейской Библии (Танах), авторитетные комментарии к ним и результаты исследований отечественных и зарубежных ученых. Методами исследования выступили сравнение, анализ документов, системный метод. В ходе проведенного исследования были сделаны выводы о том, что сомнения в историчности и практической достоверности текстов Еврейской Библии не способны повлиять на неоспоримую ценность содержащегося в ней материала. Даже если описанные события никогда не имели места в истории, то сами изложенные в Библии взгляды стоит признать намного опередившими свое время и представляющими ценность для современной политической науки. Еврейская Библия определяет представителя самодержавной власти (царя) как «первого среди равных». Это касается и прав, и обязанностей, и ответственности. Именно этот постулат и должен быть заложен в современную политико-управленческую систему, в которой всегда есть управляющий и исполнители. И только беспрерывная работа (в первую очередь над собой), самосовершенствование, как завещала Еврейская Библия, должны стать критерием отбора лидера, а не какие-либо преференции.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>The Bible</kwd><kwd>Ancient Israel</kwd><kwd>socio-political relations</kwd><kwd>early statehood</kwd><kwd>the Hebrew king</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Библия</kwd><kwd>Древний Израиль</kwd><kwd>социально-политические отношения</kwd><kwd>ранняя государственность</kwd><kwd>древнееврейский царь</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Dietrich W.
