This book examines many of the laws in the Torah governing sexual
relations and the often implicit motivations underlying them. It
also considers texts beyond the laws in which legal traditions and
ideas concerning sexual behavior intersect and provide insight into
ancient Israel's social norms. The book includes extended
treatments on the nature and function of marriage and divorce in
ancient Israel, the variation in sexual rules due to status and
gender, the prohibition on male-with-male sex, and the different
types of sexualities that may have existed in ancient Israel. The
essays draw on a variety of methodologies and approaches, including
narrative criticism, philological analysis, literary theory,
feminist and gender theory, anthropological models, and comparative
analysis. They cover content ranging from the narratives in
Genesis, to the laws of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, to
later re-interpretations of pentateuchal laws in Jeremiah and texts
from the Second Temple period. Overall, the book presents a
combination of theoretical discussion and close textual analysis to
shed new light on the connections between law and sexuality within
the Torah and beyond.
