This book presents a new framework for understanding the
relationship between biblical narrative and rabbinic law. Drawing
on legal theory and models of rabbinic exegesis, Jane L. Kanarek
argues for the centrality of biblical narrative in the formation of
rabbinic law. Through close readings of selected Talmudic and
midrashic texts, Kanarek demonstrates that rabbinic legal readings
of narrative scripture are best understood through the framework of
a referential exegetical web. She shows that law should be viewed
as both prescriptive of normative behavior and as a meaning-making
enterprise. By explicating the hermeneutical processes through
which biblical narratives become resources for legal norms, this
book transforms our understanding of the relationship of law and
narrative as well as the ways in which scripture becomes a rabbinic
document that conveys legal authority and meaning.
