Its strength is Milgrom's specialist command of priestly and purity law, widely regarded among biblical scholars as one of the most thorough treatments of Leviticus's ritual system available. Its limit is that as a technical academic commentary aimed at scholars and advanced students, it assumes background in biblical Hebrew and critical method rather than serving as an introductory guide, and it covers only the first sixteen chapters of Leviticus, not the whole book.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (76 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Jacob Milgrom's Anchor Bible commentary on the first half of Leviticus, the standard modern reference for the classes of offering, arguing that the chatat offering purges the sanctuary rather than the offerer.NotesWell-attestedThe Anchor Bible commentary on the first half of Leviticus.
