- W4236882016 abstract "Abstract This chapter examines how Deuteronomy offers an egalitarian political prescription for the shape of Israelite society and its leadership regime. The program is egalitarian in that it attenuates, in the first place, the institutional power of the monarchy as construed in the ancient Near East in the following realms: the military, the cult, the judiciary, the economy, and the harem. It further establishes a set of checks and balances that curb the power of the various seats of authority: the king, the priesthood, the judiciary and the prophet. Moreover, Deuteronomy's egalitarian program for the regime is reflected in its rejection of the institutions and language of tribal patriarchy so evidenced in the other pentateuchal texts, in favor of collective, national identity. Whereas earlier studies that examined Deuteronomy's plan for the regime have focused on chapters 16–18, this study maintains that one must read all of Deuteronomy as an integrated whole in order to perceive the full intricacy of its blueprint for a society in the land. Particular attention is paid to the role played in this regard by the so‐called narrative frames of the book—chapters 1–4, and chapters 27–30. While previous studies have noted that Deuteronomy seems to adopt a form of checks and balances, this study locates the statement it makes in this regard within the history of political thought on the subject. Scanning theories from Roman jurists through Montesquieu, this study concludes that the kernel of a theory of checks and balances that one may adduce from a reading of Deuteronomy is suggestive of formulations that we do not encounter again until the writings of the American Founding Fathers." @default.
