L. de Wette that has dominated the field for the last two centuries. It is the first comprehensive analysis and synthesis of the economic issues that the laws of Deuteronomy 12-26. It provides the basis for the identification of the functions of the three institutions upon which a new Israelite identity builds: the local autonomous settlement (\"your gates\"), the yearly gathering of all Israel to eat and drink joyfully in front of YHWH (\"the Place\"), and a guild-like brotherhood involving Israelite, Edomite and third generation Egyptian associates (\"qehal-YHWH\"). Grounded in the text itself, The Economy of Deuteronomy's Core reads Deuteronomy 12-26 in light of what we know about Ancient Near Eastern economies. The results open new horizons regarding the origins of the Deuteronomic laws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Guillaume\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800502001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800502000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Philippe Guillaume","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073288728831,"sku":"9781800502000","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c6d9147-b8eb-4b05-92f1-2f77c7f68468.jpg?v=1685446946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-economy-of-deuteronomys-core-philippe-guillaume-9781800502000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
