The festive meal texts of Deuteronomy 12-26 depict Israel as a
unified people participating in cultic banquets - a powerful and
earthy image for both preexilic Judahite and later audiences.
Comparison of Deuteronomy 12:13-27, 14:22-29, 16:1-17, and 26:1-15
with pentateuchal texts like Exodus 20-23 is broadened to highlight
the rhetorical potential of the Deuteronomic meal texts in relation
to the religious and political circumstances in Israel during the
Neo-Assyrian and later periods. The texts employ the concrete and
rich image of festive banquets, which the monograph investigates in
relation to comparative ancient Near Eastern texts and iconography,
the zooarchaeological remains of the ancient Levant, and the
findings of cultural anthropology with regard to meals.
