In Memory and Tradition in the Book of Numbers, Adriane Leveen
offers a rereading of the fourth book of Moses. Leveen examines how
the editors of Numbers created a narrative of the forty-year
journey through the wilderness to control understanding of the past
and influence attitudes in the future. The book explores politics,
collective memory and the strategies used by its priestly editors
to convince the children of Israel to accept priestly rule. Leveen
considers the dynamics of the transmission of tradition, memory and
values in an atmosphere of crisis as a generation witnessed its
parents die in the wilderness yet chose to live in the promised
land in fulfilment of God's vision.
