Description
Summary:In this paper I seek to explore the intertextual relationship between The Day of Purification (or Day of Atonement) in Leviticus 16 and Psalm 65. I adopt Ziva Ben-Porat's approach to reading intertextually as the approach allows the exegete to attempt to balance concerns of both the reader and historical development. I argue that markers in the text of Psalm 65 such as ..., creation theology, and ..., activate both the entire text of Leviticus 16 and the theological world it connotes. The outcome is a psalm that draws on a rich theological tradition that became especially important in the post-exilic period.
