Abstract
When were Leviticus and Numbers really written? Were these books compiled during the Persian period or do they have much older origins? Could early prophets like Amos or Hosea have known Leviticus? What do the Ketef Hinnom scrolls and the Deir Alla inscription tell us? Our guest is Dr. Roy Gane, Old Testament scholar, a direct student of the legendary Jacob Milgrom and the author of the NIVAC commentaries on Leviticus and Numbers. Join us as we explore the scholarly debates on the P source, redaction theories, and more!
