By offering a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of the economic issues addressed in Deuteronomy 12-26, this work seeks to move the discourse beyond the prevailing Josianic hypothesis of Wilhelm M. L. de Wette, which has dominated the field for the past two centuries. This study represents the first comprehensive exploration and integration of the economic themes present in these laws. Furthermore, it establishes the foundation for identifying the roles of the three institutions that form the basis of a new Israelite identity: the local autonomous settlement (your gates), the annual gathering of all Israel to partake in joyful feasts in front of YHWH (the Place), and a guild-like brotherhood involving Israelite, Edomite, and third-generation Egyptian associates (qehal-YHWH). Rooted in the text itself, The Economy of Deuteronomy's Core interprets Deuteronomy 12-26 in the context of our understanding of Ancient Near Eastern economies. The findings presented therein unveil fresh perspectives on the origins of the Deuteronomic laws, expanding our knowledge and understanding of this significant biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3756g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800502000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philippe Guillaume","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096483754234,"sku":"9781800502000","price":29.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1666951309622_book.jpg?v=1666982076","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-economy-of-deuteronomys-core-9781800502000","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
