"Jacob Milgrom, a rabbi and Bible scholar, has devoted the bulk of his career to examining the laws of the Torah. His incisive commentary on Leviticus, which began with Leviticus 1-16, continues in this second of three volumes. It provides an authoritative and comprehensive explanation of ethical values concealed in Israel's rituals. Although at first glance Leviticus seems far removed from the modern-day world, Milgrom's thoughtful and provocative comments and notes reveal its enduring relevance to contemporary society." "Leviticus 17-22 brings us to the heart of the book. These chapters focus mainly on the practice of holiness required of laity and priest alike. The commandments that lead to holiness are detailed in chapter 19, the core of the book, if not the whole Torah. The acme of this chapter, the author maintains, is not "love your neighbor (read Israelites) as yourself," but "love him (read the alien) as yourself," endowing him with equal civil rights." "With its English translations that convey the nuance and power of the original Hebrew, this trilogy will takes its place alongside the best of the Anchor Bible Commentaries. Book jacket."--Jacket.
