Leviticus

Levine’s scholarly commentary on Leviticus offers a lucid and detailed
treatment of the sacred text. The commentary contains a great many
amplifications on the text beyond the line-by-line analysis, including
discussion of the laws of Kashrut, the pursuit of holiness, the principles of
land tenure, and more. Also included is a generous introduction, an essay on
Leviticus in the ongoing Jewish tradition, eleven excursuses with footnotes, and
helpful charts.

Baruch Levine is the Skirball Professor of Bible and Ancient Near Eastern
