Berlinerblau argues that in order to procure reliable historical
information about 'popular religious groups' (such as women,
non-privileged economic strata, heterodox elements) we must search
for what he calls 'implicit evidence': mundane details regarding
the vow which the biblical writers tacitly assumed and hence
unknowingly bequeathed to posterity. By piecing together these
strands of implicit evidence the author attempts to reconstruct the
basic norms of the Israelite votive system. In so doing, he
explains why certain 'popular religious groups' were attracted to
this particular practice.>
