Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; INTRODUCTION; Part I: SACRED TRADITION IN JUDGES 17-18; Part II: CULTIC PRACTICE IN JUDGES 17-18; CONCLUSION: CULTIC LIFE AT DAN; Appendix: THE DANITE STORY AND THE HISTORY OF THE LEVITES; Bibliography; Index of References; Index of Authors.

Summary: An introduction reviews previous scholarship, and concludes that the cultic aspects of Judges 17-18 have not been examined in any depth. It then goes on to deal with the historical and redactional issues which previous scholars have found interesting. The issues of provenance and dating are then examined with the conclusion that the text was written down in the immediate aftermath of the Assyrian conquest of Dan in an attempt to preserve its sacred traditions. The text therefore reflects the self-understanding of the priests of Dan in the period immediately prior to its fall. The text of Judge.
