At the beginning of his academic career, author Jacob Milgrom
determined to make his lifework a probing study of the Laws of the
Torah. Here, with Leviticus 1-16, the first of three volumes on
Leviticus, he has reached the pinnacle of his long pursuit. No
other contemporary commentary matches Milgrom's comprehensive work
on this much misunderstood and often underappreciated biblical
book. In this richly detailed volume, the author traverses the
shoals of legal thought and liturgical practice in ancient Israel.
He clearly explains the role of the Tabernacle of the Wilderness as
the all-important center of Israelite worship, the locus of the
priestly orders, sacrificial rituals, and practices of purity to
which the congregation repaired for penitence and reconciliation,
restoration and renewal. At the heart of the dwelling place of God
was the real presence of the God of Israel, present through his
splendor in the midst of the camp and the congregation - a
permanent sign of the unique privilege and responsibility of
Israel, perceived as a worshipping and serving people.
