Beskrivelse
The Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22-23:33) is one of the Old Testament collections of legal texts. This volume offers an introduction, translation and detailed commentary. Special attention is given to the character of the Book of the Covenant, to its innerbiblical context, and its relation with the other Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern law traditions. The implications of the existing relations, the Book's actualisation within the Old Testament, and the history of interpretation are described with care. Thanks to its clear structure, this study is an excellent guide through a specific area of ancient program literature. An important book for all who are interested in the law traditions of the Ancient Near East, the ethics of the Bible, and law history in general.
