Who is Israel? Who were the priestly authors of the Pentateuch?
This anthropological reading of the Bible, by a world-renowned
scholar, starts by asking why the Book of Numbers lists the twelve
tribes of Israel seven times. Mary Douglas argues that the editors,
far from being a separate elite unconcerned with their
congregation's troubles, cherished a political agenda, a religious
protest against the government of Judah's exclusionary policies.
The priestly theology depends on God's Covenant with all the
descendants of Jacob, including the sons of Joseph. It would have
been unpatriotic, even subversive, to speak against the wars with
Samaria. This book suggest an explanation of the editors'
disappearance from the history of Israel.
