People and Land in the Holiness Code: an Exegetical Study of the Ideational Framework of the Law in Leviticus 17-26 (Supplements to Vetus Testamentum)
Jan Joosten
Proposing a reconstruction of the ideas underlying the Holiness Code (Leviticus 17-26), this work focuses on the notions of people and land, which are central to the way the law is presented in this corpus. Themes examined include sons of Israel, the resident alien, the call to holiness, the camp in the desert, and the land as the property of the Lord. The priestly conception of the relationship between God, people and land finds interesting parallels in the ideology of holy places evidenced in writings from the Ancient Near East.
