Recenzii
"Pekka Pitkänen provides an exciting new commentary to the book of Numbers which approaches the material with finely tuned interdisciplinary skill and close critical exegesis. The commentary is thoroughly-researched and the arguments are careful and clear. This book is a very helpful tool for anybody wishing to engage with the material in the book of Numbers."
- Katherine Southwood, St John's College, Oxford University, UK
"This commentary is a substantial addition to the new Routledge Studies in the Biblical World series. Mostly free of overly-technical jargon, it is accessible to scholars, teachers and the informed lay person or preacher. Without discounting the historical value of Numbers, Pitkanen ably deals with the text (under the regular headings of Context, Comment and Meaning) and presents archaeological evidence and ANE references where necessary.
- Andy S.J. Lie, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
"Pekka Pitkänen’s new commentary on the Book of Numbers analyses the Old Testament text from a decidedly interdisciplinary perspective. P. not only combines exegetic methods with approaches from post-colonial, migration and ritual studies, but also considers results from archaeological field research in the Levant."
-Felix Hagemeyer, Leipzig University, AWE

Descriere
This book provides a new reading of the biblical book of Numbers in a commentary form. Mainstream readings have tended to see the book 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, the book also offers pointers towards reading these texts today.
