Summary
Uses the ideas of revision and reuse to reframe scholarly conversations about rewriting within manuscripts and versions of the Hebrew Bible. Shows how canonically oriented labels like “rewritten Bible” and “innerbiblical exegesis” impede our understanding, and how the neutral terms used here can facilitate comparison to rewriting in other corpora.
