Description
Summary:This essay discusses the reinterpretation of the orientations of biblical laws between he Covenant Code and the Holiness Code. It explores three examples in particular – lave laws, the practice of letting the land lie fallow, and stipulations concerning the abbath – arguing that there are theological grounds for the variations between the etails and explanations of the laws in these two codes. The essay shows that when updating respective laws that may be literarily related and share their orientation in time, there is a consistent shift in the understanding of practices expressed through law that transforms laws that were essentially social in nature into expressions of the relationship between God and Israel. This attests to the interest of P in being applicable to a Judaism without its land or temple, thus transcendentalising the earlier orientation of these biblical laws.
