Nevertheless, these objections hardly undermine this work's significant contribution to the study of the Covenant Code, and Jackson is to be commended for his sophisticated and nuanced analysis. This study of the mishpatim, unprecedented in the detail of its analysis, is a major contribution to the study of biblical law. This is a most valuable study, both for its fresh insights and for the critical questions which it inevitably raises.
We think of law as rules whose words are binding, used by the courts in the adjudication of disputes. Bernard S. Jackson explains that early biblical law was significantly different, and that many of the laws in the Covenant Code in Exodus should be viewed as `wisdom-laws'. By this term, hemeans `self-executing' rules, the provisions of which permit their application without recourse to the law-courts or similar institutions. They thus conform to two tenets of the `wisdom tradition': that judicial dispute should be avoided, and that the law is a type of teaching, or `wisdom'.
