The seemingly strict and endless rules governing which animals, which gender, and even where on the altar they may be brought, can seem frustratingly purposeless. In his introduction to his commentary on Leviticus, the Provencal exegete, Joseph Ibn Kaspi (c. 1280-1340), announced an extended (eighteen chapter-long) hiatus, since, following Maimonidean rationalism, the entire order of the sacrifice was merely a concession to Israel\u2019s pagan ways, so the particulars do not really matter. And yet, the Torah presents verse-upon-verse of sacrificial detail and sacrificial structure, for readers to contend with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if the details of the Levitical sacrifice order can be exhausting, there is a striking message in its structure. The Priestly Torah, as its wont, demands that the regulations are immutable. Sacrifice is a serious business and not a free-for-all: One cannot just bring female cattle for a burnt <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">olah<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offering if that is what happens to be in stock, nor can the priest offer the he-goat \u2013 another option for the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">olah<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 on the altar\u2019s south side, merely because it is more convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The text conveys a strong sense of order, but it is a certain kind of modular order, where there are options to choose from, based on economic bracket and other criteria. If there is any defining feature of Leviticus, it is not an unbending insistence for details, but a menu in which to build a sacrificial meal.
