This book offers a fresh perspective on the legal system of Ancient Israel, recognizing that writing was not the primary medium for all forms of discourse in this society. Instead, written texts were often performed orally and subsequently rewritten from these oral performances. Drawing on Iceland as an ethnographic analogy, Robert D. Miller II, OFS, explores the practice, performance, and transmission of law in this oral-and-literate world. He examines how written artifacts of the law were integrated into oral performance and transmission, as well as the relationship between the remnants of law found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically the Torah and Proverbs, and the social world of the past. Miller's analysis sheds light on the intricate interplay between written and oral traditions in the legal system of Ancient Israel, providing valuable insights into the development and evolution of legal practices and institutions.
