N2  - "The 'Mishpatim' of Exodus 21-22 are generally regarded as the earliest collection of Biblical laws. Bernard S. Jackson analyses these laws in detail, considers their relationship to both the Israelite wisdom tradition and the laws of the Ancient Near East, and offers a view of their literary and institutional history."--Jacket
