<br/><br/> Introduction: An iconic understanding of Moses  From idle to idol  From misfit to mediator  Circumcising the mouth of Moses  A suitable emblem of divinity  Mouth to mouth  Conclusion: Still no graven image. 
<br/><br/> In this book, Amy L. Balogh brings together comparative religion, Assyriology, and biblical studies to illuminate the status of the Hebrew Bible's most important figure-Moses. Through comparison with ancient Mesopotamian idols, she reads Moses as YHWH's idol, offering a new paradigm for understanding divine-human mediation in the ancient Near East.
