Although commonly assumed to be YHWH's divine army, the book reveals their non-military and fluid nature. Quine demonstrates that it was the fluidity of the Host and their roles in the divine realm that permitted the creation of wide-ranging polemic against their worship. Her analysis shows that this polemic was expressed in ritual terms which persuaded its audiences, both ancient and modern, of its legitimacy and authority".Oudtestamentische studiën ;Volume 78.Host of HeavenCultHost of HeavenCult.220.64Quine Cat1481013MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793919503321Casting down the Host of Heaven3847367UNINA
