Description

In this book, James A. Greenberg examines animal sacrifice in Priestly Torah texts found in Leviticus 1?16, Exodus, and Numbers. Through his analysis, Greenberg identifies a new valence of kipper as a process that produces a positive result between two objects and argues that the Israelite sanctuary exists to facilitate a connection between YHWH, sancta, and the Israelites through the medium of blood.
