“Strange Fire” Indeed (Lev 10
The cultic violation of the “strange fire” offered to Yahweh by Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10:1–11 has long puzzled commentators. Similarly perplexing has been the apparently related prohibition of imbibing intoxicating liquids (v. 8) prescribed for all officiating priests following the debacle. This paper considers the episode in the broader context of the use of mind-altering substances in religious practices of the ancient Near East attested…
The Formation of Biblical Texts
What was the relationship between the Pentateuch and the (so-called) Deuteronomistic History and how did these texts function as a corpus? What were the interconnections among these texts and those of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah? In this volume, leading voices come together to tackle questions about the composition and formation of the Hebrew Bible and the future directions of such studies in honor of Gary N. Knoppers.
Formation of Biblical Texts
Questions concerning the composition and formation of biblical texts have dominated many of the current discussions in biblical studies, especially relating to the relationship between the Pentateuch and the (so-called) Deuteronomistic History, how these texts may have functioned as a corpus (or related corpora), and interconnections among these texts and those of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. As appreciation has grown for the potential text pr…

The Zooarchaeology of Israelite Religion
This essay aims to provide a methodological framework for the application of zooarchaeology to the study of Israelite religion for the purpose of providing an overview of this growing subfield for the non-specialist and for inviting further conversation among practitioners. Definitions of "zooarchaeology" and "Israelite religion" are explored and the aim of reconstructing practices of Yahweh-centric religion is described. A methodology is suggest…
The Wide Lens in Archaeology
This book honors the memory of Brian Hesse, a scholar of Near Eastern archaeology, a writer of alliterative and punned publication titles, and an accomplished amateur photographer. Hesse specialized in zooarchaeology, but he influenced a wider range of excavators and ancient historians with his broad interpretive reach. He spent much of his career analyzing faunal materials from different countries in the Middle East-including Iran, Yemen, and Is…

An Israelite "Mizrāq" at Tel Dan
This paper argues that the mizrāq, a ritual vessel described in the Hebrew Bible, is best identified with the shallow metal drinking-offering bowls typical across the ancient Near East from the second millennium B.C. on. It is further proposed that a specific vessel discovered at Tel Dan may in fact be a certain type of mizrāq intended for use at a courtyard altar. Attention is given to the biblical descriptions in light of archaeological and ico…
