Such new beginnings enshrine both hope and doubt for the future, as in the account of the rebuilding of life after the Flood (Genesis 9). In this subtle analysis, Stahl observes how frequently one component of these liminal moments is law, offering as it does stability and order in a chaotic world but also resonating with the ambiguities inherent in the narrative history. In the Bible, law as well as narrative is multi-voiced. 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Old Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v202. 606 $aJewish law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish law. 676 $a220.6 676 $a222/.1106 676 $a223/.906 700 $aStahl$b Nanette$0974254 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454424903321 996 $aLaw and liminality in the Bible$92217969 997 $aUNINA
