Feldman explores the interdependence of ritual and narrative within the Priestly source of the Pentateuch, challenging the notion that the sacrificial instructions in Leviticus are secondary. By applying insights from ritual theory and narratology, she presents these laws as integral literary elements that shape the Priestly narrative. The analysis reveals that the essence of the Priestly story revolves around the origins and significance of sacrifice, emphasizing the importance of reading these rituals within their broader narrative framework.
