Synopsis

What happens to the deliberate, defiant sinner? The Hebrew Bible prescribes karet / "cutting off". Donald J. Wold's semantic-field analysis across Hebrew, Greek, Qumran, and rabbinic sources - bolstered by Akkadian and Egyptian parallels - reveals that only God enacts karet - a curse denying eternal life to high-handed offenders.
