This book examines how the Decalogue's concept of divine transgenerational punishment was reworked by writers in ancient Israel, who proposed the alternative idea of individual retribution. Enriched by a bibliographical essay on inner-biblical exegesis, the volume offers perspectives on debates within the humanities about canonicity, textual authority, and authorship.
