Textual studies -- pt. 2. Contextualizations. 330 $aThis study analyzes the specific textual formation of Mishna Sotah. Diverging significantly from its origins in the book of Numbers, the Mishnaic ritual was traditionally read by scholars as an \'ancient Mishna\', narrating an actual ritual practiced in the second temple. In contrast to this generally accepted view, this book claims that while Sotah does contain some traditions, its overall composition has a clear ideological and academic form. Furthermore, comparisons with parallel Tannaitic sources reveal the ideological redaction, which carefully selected only those opinions which support its rewriting of the ritual as a public punitive ritual, while rejecting all reservations and opposition to its specific punitive character ? even ignoring the possibility of innocence of the suspected adulteress. The author?s groundbreaking conclusion is that, regardless of the form the real ritual did or did not take at the temple, the specific Mishnaic ritual was (re)invented by the rabbis in the second century C.E. From its very inception, it was purely textual, reflecting rabbinic imagination rather than memory. 410 0$aSupplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ;$vv. 160. 606 $aAdultery (Jewish law) 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen (Jewish law) 615 0$aAdultery (Jewish law) 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen (Jewish law) 676 $a296.4/9 700 $aRosen-Zvi$b Ishay$01596169 701 $aScharf$b Orr$01673441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827063403321 996 $aThe Mishnaic Sotah ritual$94037536 997 $aUNINA
