Overview

This study explores the vocabulary employed in the extant text of Leviticus . The chosen methodology of rhetorical analysis (with an emphasis upon terminological patterns) shows a carefully composed text. The basic working hypothesis that Leviticus has been artistically structured around 37 divine speeches ( and the Lord spoke/sad to Moses (and Aaron) ) with chapter 16 as its possible structural and theological centre has been substantiated both on the microstructural and macrostructural levels. The plethora of significant micro- and macrostructural terminological patterns suggests original literary cohesiveness and hence single-handed authorship. These findings are of special significance regarding the so-called P and H passages, a layer of priestly reworking , and, even more, the exegesis and theology of Leviticus .
