The first five books of the Hebrew Bible contain a significant
number of texts describing ritual practices. Yet it is often
unclear how these sources would have been understood or used by
ancient audiences in the actual performance of cult. This volume
explores the processes of ritual textualization (the creation of a
written version of a ritual) in ancient Israel by probing the main
conceptual and methodological issues that inform the study of this
topic in the Pentateuch. This systematic and comparative study of
text and ritual in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible maps
the main areas of consensus and disagreement among scholars engaged
in articulating new models for understanding the relationship
between text and ritual and explores the importance of comparative
evidence for the study of pentateuchal rituals. Topics include
ritual textualization in ancient Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, and
Mesopotamia; the importance of archaeology and materiality for the
study of text and ritual in ancient Israel; the relationship
between ritual textualization and standardization in the
Pentateuch; the reception of pentateuchal ritual texts in Second
Temple writings and rabbinic literature; and the relationship
between text and ritual in the Dead Sea Scrolls. In addition to the
editors, the contributors to this volume include Dorothea
Erbele-Kuster, Daniel K. Falk, Yitzhaq Feder, Christian Frevel,
William K. Gilders, Dominique Jaillard, Giuseppina Lenzo, Lionel
Marti, Patrick Michel, Rudiger Schmitt, Jeremy D. Smoak, and James
W. Watts.
