Defining the relationship between Priests and Levites is a critical element in reconstructing the history of religious leadership in the Old Testament, and is regarded as a key element for understanding the literary history of the Hebrew Bible. The present study undertakes a critical literary comparison of the relevant passages from the Pentateuch and the Early Prophets in order to develop a secure foundation of sources for historical inquiry. Die Verhältnisbestimmung von Priestern und Leviten ist entscheidend für die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte des alttestamentlichen Kultpersonals und gilt darüber hinaus als einer der Schlüssel für die Literargeschichte der Hebräischen Bibel. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht literarkritisch die einschlägigen Passagen des Pentateuch und der Vorderen Propheten, um zu einer gesicherten Quellenbasis für historische Rückfragen zu kommen. |
