Abstract
This is the third monograph in which Carmichael makes the case that what appear to be laws in the Torah are best thought of as corrective commentary in response to problems (mostly of an ethical or cultic kind) in the narratives of Genesis–2 Kings (but Genesis in particular). Whereas the two earlier volumes (Carmichael 1997 and 2006) focus on Leviticus, this one is concerned primarily with Numbers, “the least researched of the books that make up the Pentateuch, [which] presents a puzzling combination of law and narrative” (vii).
