The ritual, initiated by a suspicious husband, was first described in Numbers 5, is elaborated by the later rabbis. Destro argues that the rabbis patter the sotah ritual to emphasize its, and the woman’s, anomalous nature and the symbolic work that this patterning does for the rabbinic system as a whole.JudaismbicsscJudaismJudaismDestro Adriana142258Brown University.MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910386542803321The Law of Jealousy2438430UNINA
