The tokhahah in Leviticus 26 is frequently read as a tragedy, warning of the dire consequences of sin and national failure.

The post Divine Companionship in the Tokhahah: A Textual Analysis appeared first on The Lehrhaus.| The Lehrhaus

The death of Nadav and Avihu is difficult to explain, perhaps even impossible to approach through the medium of language.
