Lecture 10 - Biblical Law: The Three Legal Corpora of JE (Exodus), P (Leviticus and Numbers) and D. This lecture introduces biblical law in a comparative approach that identifies similarities and differences between Israelite law and other Ancient Near Eastern legal traditions,
such as the Code of Hammurabi. Distinctive features of Israelite law are explained as flowing from the claim of divine authorship.
