Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

Textual Source: Exodus

Torah Portion: Tetzaveh

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author explores some questions and difficulties he sees in animal sacrifice, arguing that it is easier to think about these “sacrifices” as part of a tribal economy with the Covenant as its ethical center. He also creates a connection between the Covenant, sacrifice, and the development of social class and social inequality.
