"Although seldom studied by biblical scholars as a discrete phenomenon, ritual violence
is mentioned frequently in biblical texts, and includes ritual actions such as disfigurement
of corpses, destruction or scattering of bones removed from a tomb, stoning and other
forms of public execution, cursing, forced depilation, the legally-sanctioned imposition
of physical defects on living persons, coerced potion-drinking, sacrificial burning
of animals and humans, forced stripping and exposure of the genitalia, and mass eradication
of populations. This book, the first to focus on ritual violence in the Hebrew Bible,
investigates these and other violent rites, the ritual settings in which they occur
(e.g., the temple, the royal court, the battlefield), their various literary contexts
(e.g., legal texts, narrative, visions, dreams and oracles), and the identity and
aims of their agents in order to speak in an informed way about the contours and social
aspects of ritual violence as it is represented in the Hebrew Bible. Violence, ritual
