| Zusammenfassung: | "The concepts of purity and pollution are fundamental to the worldview reflected in the Hebrew Bible yet the ways that biblical texts apply these concepts to sexual relationships remain largely overlooked. Sexual Pollution in the Hebrew Bible argues that the concept of pollution is rooted in disgust and that pollution language applied to sexual relations expresses a sense of bodily contamination resulting from revulsion. Most texts in the Hebrew Bible that use pollution language in sexual contexts reflect a conception of women as sexual property susceptible to being "ruined" for particular men through contamination by others. In contrast, the Holiness legislation of the Pentateuch applies pollution language to men who engage in transgressive sexual relations, conveying the idea that male bodily purity is a prerequisite for individual and communal holiness.Sexual transgressions contaminate the male body and ultimately result in exile when the land vomits out its inhabitants. The Holiness legislation's conception of sexual pollution, which is found in Leviticus 18, had a profound impact on later texts. In the book of Ezekiel, it contributes to a broader conception of pollution resulting from Israel's sins, which led to the Babylonian exile. In the book of Ezra, it figures in a view of the Israelite community as a body of males contaminated by foreign women. Yet the idea of female pollution rooted in a view of women as sexual property persisted alongside the idea of male pollution as an impediment to holiness. Eva Feinstein illuminates why the idea of pollution adheres to particular domains of experience, including sex, death, and certain types of infirmity. Sexual Pollution in the Hebrew Bible allows for a more thorough understanding of sexual pollution, its particular characteristics, and the role that it plays in biblical literature".. |

THE
CONCEPTS
OF PURITY
AND
POLLUTION
ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE
WORLDVIEW
REFLECTED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE,
YET THE
WAYS
BIBLICAL
TEXTS APPLY
THESE
CONCEPTS TO
SEXUAL
RELATIONSHIPS REMAIN
LARGELY OVERLOOKED.
SEXUAL POLLUTION IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
ARGUES
THAT,
WHEN APPLIED TO
SEXUAL
RELATIONS,
POLLUTION
LANGUAGE
USUALLY REFLECTS A
CONCEPTION
OF
WOMEN AS
SEXUAL
PROPERTY
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BEING
"RUINED"
FOR PARTICULAR
MEN THROUGH CONTAMINATION BY OTHERS. IN
CONTRAST, HOWEVER, THE HOLINESS LEGISLATION
OF
THE
PENTATEUCH APPLIES SUCH
LANGUAGE
TO
MEN WHO
ENGAGE
IN
TRANSGRESSIVE SEXUAL
RELATIONS, CONVEYING THE IDEA THAT MALE
BODILY
PURITY
IS A PREREQUISITE FOR
INDIVIDUAL
AND COMMUNAL HOLINESS.
THIS UNDERSTANDING
OF
SEXUAL
POLLUTION,
FOUND
IN LEVITICUS 18, HAS A PROFOUND
IMPACT
ON LATER TEXTS. IN THE BOOK
OF
EZEKIEL,
IT
CONTRIBUTES TO A BROADER CONCEPTION OF
POLLUTION
RESULTING
FROM
ISRAELS
SINS, WHICH
BRING
ABOUT THE BABYLONIAN EXILE. IN THE
BOOK
OF
EZRA,
IT FIGURES IN A VIEW
OF
THE
ISRAELITE COMMUNITY AS A BODY
OF
MALES
CONTAMINATED BY FOREIGN WOMEN. DRAWING
ON
PSYCHOLOGICAL AND CROSS-CULTURAL STUDIES
AS WELL AS PHILOLOGICAL AND
HISTORICAL-CRITICAL
ANALYSIS
OF
BIBLICAL
TEXTS, EVE FEINSTEIN'S
STUDY ILLUMINATES THE
REASONS
WHY THE IDEA
OF
POLLUTION
ADHERES
TO PARTICULAR DOMAINS
OF
EXPERIENCE,
INCLUDING
SEX, DEATH, AND
CERTAIN
TYPES
OF
INFIRMITY.

Most texts in the Hebrew Bible that use pollution language in sexual contexts reflect a conception of women as sexual property susceptible to being "ruined" for particular men through contamination by others. In contrast, the Holiness legislation of the Pentateuch applies pollution language to men who engage in transgressive sexual relations, conveying the idea that male bodily purity is a prerequisite for individual and communal holiness.Sexual transgressions contaminate the male body and ultimately result in exile when the land vomits out its inhabitants. The Holiness legislation's conception of sexual pollution, which is found in Leviticus 18, had a profound impact on later texts. In the book of Ezekiel, it contributes to a broader conception of pollution resulting from Israel's sins, which led to the Babylonian exile. In the book of Ezra, it figures in a view of the Israelite community as a body of males contaminated by foreign women. Yet the idea of female pollution rooted in a view of women as sexual property persisted alongside the idea of male pollution as an impediment to holiness. Eva Feinstein illuminates why the idea of pollution adheres to particular domains of experience, including sex, death, and certain types of infirmity. Sexual Pollution in the Hebrew Bible allows for a more thorough understanding of sexual pollution, its particular characteristics, and the role that it plays in biblical literature"..
