When Miriam's Well Runs Dry
The abrupt juxtaposition of Miriam's death and the subsequent water crisis in Num 20:1-2 invites deeper reflection on the narrative and theological significance of her role in Israel's wilderness journey. While the biblical text provides a succinct account, the immediate onset of thirst among the Israelites suggests a profound connection between her presence and divine sustenance. This article explores the literary and theological dimensions of M…
Women in the Wilderness
In this work, Francesco Cocco studies the legislation of Numbers which deals with laws featuring women as their leading figures. The prominent place of women in the texts studied is peculiar because all three seem to be at odds with the notion of female autonomy. In fact, though, the authors in-depth study leads to an unexpected understanding of the laws.
Women in the Wilderness

Torah as a Place of Refuge
The law on the »cities of refuge« contained in Num 35,9-34 is almost universally seen as a simple repetition of legal content that is basically already present in the legislation of other biblical books. Francesco Cocco demonstrates that we find ourselves here before a case of reformulation instead of simple repetition, the implications of which are extremely interesting for the understanding of biblical penal legislation. In this particular frag…
