{"product_id":"sin-impurity-sacrifice-atonement-jay-sklar-9781909697881","title":"Sin, Impurity, Sacrifice, Atonement: The Priestly Conceptions","description":"The goal of this closely reasoned study is to explain why, in Priestly texts of the Hebrew Bible, the verb _kipper_, traditionally translated 'atone', means the way of dealing both with sin and with impurity-which might seem very different things. Sklar's first key conclusion is that when the context is sin, certain sins also pollute; so 'atonement' may include some element of _purification_. His second conclusion is that, when the context is impurity, and _kipper_ means not 'atone' but 'effect purgation', impurity also _endangers_; so _kipper_ can include some element of _ransoming_. In fact, sin and impurity, while distinct categories in themselves, have this in common: each of them requires both ransoming and purification. It is for this reason that _kipper_ can be used in both settings. This benchmark study concludes with a careful examination of the famous sentence of Leviticus 17.11 that 'blood makes atonement' (_kipper_) and explains how, in the Priestly ideology, blood sacrifice was able to accomplish both ransom and purification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Sklar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909697885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909697881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Jay Sklar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132000366847,"sku":"9781909697881","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93838864-8267-4768-8fb8-674872f80d61.jpg?v=1687477642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sin-impurity-sacrifice-atonement-jay-sklar-9781909697881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
