Summary
How did the Persian period shape Old Testament language and thought? Alexandra Jacobsen shows how an editorial layer reworked the early Holiness Code (Lev 17-26) and called for integrating »foreigners.« She also offers a new view of Pentateuchal formation and post-exilic self-understanding.
