Description: Commentary on Numbers : Narrative, Ritual, and Colonialism, Paperback by Pitkänen, Pekka, ISBN 0367515369, ISBN-13 9780367515362, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book provides a new reading of the biblical book of Numbers in a commentary form. Mainstream readings have tended to see th as a haphazard junkyard of material that connects Genesis-Leviticus with Deuteronomy (and Joshua) and that has been composed at a late stage in the history of ancient Israel. In contrast, this book reads Numbers as part of a wider work of Genesis-Joshua, a carefully crafted programmatic settler colonial document for a new society in Canaanite highlands in the late second millennium BCE that seeks to replace pre-existing indigenous societies. In the context of the tremendous influence that the biblical documents have had on the world in the last two to three thousand years, th also offers pointers towards reading these texts today.
