Sacrifice and Gender in Biblical Law
Ruane, Nicole J. (Lecturer, University of New Hampshire)
Examines the Hebrew Bible's laws about sacrificial procedure to understand the significance of gender in sacrificial rituals and why gender distinctions are vital in these acts. Gender selection of both victims and participants is an intrinsic aspect of the nature and purpose of each rite. The laws are a means of controlling material wealth and constructing social roles.
