Summary
Shimon Gesundheit shows that - in contrast to classical historical reconstructions - the festival calendars in the Pentateuch do not reflect cultic or social realities of actual historical periods. Rather, they represent a process of progressive literary development shaping and promoting new ideas by textual revision and redaction.
