Through the swirling smoke of Aaron's incense, and of scholarly
theories, the present volume steps toward the meaning enacted on
"the Day of Purgation," commonly known as Yom Kippur or "the Day of
Atonement." By treating moral evil both as relational/legal breach
and as pollution, the Israelite system of "purification offerings"
= so-called "sin offerings" addresses both the standing and state
of YHWH's people. This system shows the way not only to freedom
from condemnation but also to healing of character, which is
defined in terms of loyalty to YHWH. Freedom and healing come
together on the Day of Purgation, when purification rituals benefit
those who show themselves loyal to YHWH by affirming the freedom
from condemnation that they have previously received. The effects
of purification rituals on YHWH's sanctuary and community profile
harmony between justice and kindness in the character of YHWH as he
deals with imperfect people of various kinds of character by
pardoning and clearing the loyal but condemning the disloyal. Thus,
Gane ultimately affirms Milgrom's seminal insight that theodicy is
foundational to the Israelite expiatory system. Gane's conclusions
are derived from exegetical study of Hebrew ritual texts, informed
by controls to ritual analysis developed in the course of prior
research through critical examination of existing ritual theories
and by adapting a systems theory approach to human activity
systems.
