Numbers

By: Rolf P. Knierim

This new commentary on Numbers is not only the latest volume in the respected FOTL series; it is also the first commentary to be written using the exegetical methods of the recently redesigned form-critical approach to the Old Testament literature. Rolf Knierim and George Coats make clear what has traditionally been a difficult portion of Scripture by showing how form criticism sheds light on the text's structure, genre, setting, and intention. Following an extensive introduction to the historical and social background of Numbers, the commentary proper leads readers unit by unit through the text, highlighting the literary development of Numbers and the meaning that it meant to convey to its audience.

Numbers

By: Rolf P. Knierim,George W. Coats

Under the guidelines of the FOTL series, the primary task of this commentary is not to reconstruct the historical growth of the book of Numbers itself. In this commentary, the growth process is presupposed in principle, but referred to in specifics with restraint. The form-critical interpretation reveals the active involvement of many generations of Israelite narrators and writers in the ongoing adaptation of their most important ancient story, and their conceptualization of its significance for their own and for future generations. - Publisher.

Text and Concept in Leviticus 1:1-9

Text and Concept in Leviticus 1:1-9

A Case in Exegetical Method

By: Rolf P. Knierim

This book is a methodologically oriented case study. It focuses on the relationship between a text's explicit statement and the inexplicit conceptual presuppositions beneath its surface, which are operative in it and govern it. The methodological focus has programmatic implications for the theory of exegesis and, hence, for the understanding not only of all biblical texts but of all oral and written language. It highlights the need for a readjustment of the exegetical method, especially in biblical exegesis. The format of a case study, rather than of an abstract methodological discussion, is important for demonstrating the control by the text of the hypothetical reconstruction of its inexplicit concept. While meant to be exemplary for the applied approach, the selection of Leviticus 1:1-9 yields specific results about this text, which in significant ways differ from and exceed currently available studies. These results affect, among others, the difference between ritual text and ritual act and between a text's individuality and typicality, a reconsideration of redaction, structure, intention or function, and of genre and setting, and an explanation of the semantic system which is the conceptual matrix for the text's prescriptions. And they contribute, positively as well as critically, to studies in fields such as anthropology and semiotics, especially sociology and psychology of religion, structuralism, ontology and of course, to studies in ancient Israel's cultic laws and theology.
