| Summary: | There has been much scholarly discussion in recent years concerning the relationship between the biblical law collections and those from other parts of the ancient Near East. In this article, I examine a verb in Exod 21:35, ṿygp, that has not received a robust linguistic analysis as reflecting Akkadian influence, though other scholars have noticed its similarities to parallel formulations in other Near Eastern legal collections. I provide a variety of considerations for understanding why this verb reveals Akkadian influence, a general time when such influence could have occurred, and the possible scribal mechanisms through which the verb ṿygp could have entered into the biblical laws of the goring ox. |
